Seller shall be responsible for any Adjustment Amount relating to the period prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for any Adjustment Amount relating to the period from and after the Closing Date, regardless of when such Adjustment Amount shall have been ascertained or billed. Two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare a notice setting forth its estimated calculation of such Adjustment Amount to the extent such amounts are available to Seller (the “Adjustment Notice”) and shall deliver the Adjustment Notice to Buyer. Buyer shall review the Adjustment Amount as stated in the Adjustment Notice on or before the Closing Date and confer with Seller the contents thereof.

Pursuant to an Assignment and Consent, entered into as of June 12, 2012 with CSI and Christie, and SmartTrack Schedule No. 8 between CSI and Seller, the VPFs are being deposited into a CSI account at Rockland Trust Company (“Rockland”)as security for the payment of Lessor’s obligations to CSI with respect to Digital Equipment as reflected in the Certificate of Acceptance regarding the Digital Equipment that was executed by CSI and Seller covering a lease term commencing September 1, 2012 and ending August 31, 2017 (calling for a monthly rental of $6,566.58 payable in arrears). Buyer and Seller agree that they will cooperate so that mutually acceptable arrangements can be made with CSI and Rockland so that the VPFs on the Equipment can continue to be deposited with Rockland and used to satisfy the lease payment obligations for the Equipment. If, in any lease year, the amount of VPF payments made to CSI through deposit with Rockland shall be less than the amount of lease payments due for the Digital Equipment for such lease year, the amount of any such deficit shall be paid with funds then on deposit in escrow with Rockland by Seller or its Affiliates. If, in any lease year, the funds on deposit in escrow with Rockland by Seller or its Affiliates shall be insufficient to satisfy any such deficit, Seller shall cause sufficient funds to be deposited with Rockland to satisfy the deficit.
(f) Purchase Price of Digital Systems. In accordance with its obligation to deliver to Buyer the digital equipment systems located at the Cinema free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, Seller agrees to be responsible for the timely of the option to purchase the Digital Equipment under the CSI Master Lease and for the payment of the purchase price that is determined to be due for the purchase of the Digital Equipment under the CSI Master Lease (the “Digital Equipment Purchase Price”). Seller shall make reasonable good faith commercial efforts to determine the fair market value of the Digital Equipment at the time such purchase option is exercised. Seller’s obligation with respect to the payment of the Digital Equipment Purchase Price shall be satisfied by Seller’s payment of the amounts due from (i) the cash balance available on deposit with Rockland by Seller or its Affiliates, (ii) the aggregate amount of VPFs payable to Buyer with respect to the Digital Equipment subsequent to September 1, 2017, or (iii) the release from escrow of any Escrowed Shares that shall remain in escrow as of September 1, 2017. If, when the purchase option for the Digital Equipment is exercised and the Digital Equipment Purchase Price is determined, the sum of (A) the cash balance on deposit by Seller or its Affiliates with Rockland, (B) the aggregate VPFs to be received by Buyer with respect to the Digital Equipment and (C) the value of any Escrowed Shares remaining in escrow (collectively, the “Available Funds”), shall be less than the Digital Equipment Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Buyer in cash the difference between the Digital Equipment Purchase Price and the Available Funds. If, on the other hand, the Available Funds shall then exceed the Digital Equipment Purchase Price, the amount of any such excess shall be paid to Seller in cash or Escrowed Shares, as the case may be.
(g) The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.

The indemnifications provided for in Section 7.1 above shall survive for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date.
