Payment and Year-End Adjustment Amounts accrued pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable to the Adviser as of the last day of each month. If necessary, on or before the last day of the first month of each fiscal year, an adjustment payment shall be made by the appropriate party in order that the actual Fund Operating Expenses of a Fund for the prior fiscal year (including any reimbursement payments hereunder with respect to such fiscal year) do not exceed the Maximum Annual Operating Expense Limit.
Closing Adjustment (A) with the actual amount paid at the Closing for Paid Time Off. The ----- Sellers shall notify the Buyer in writing of any disputed items contained in the Assets Determination within thirty (30) days from its delivery, and after such date all undisputed items shall be deemed accepted by Seller and made part of the final determination of the adjustment, if any, to be made to the Purchase Price (the "Final Statement"). As soon as practical, but in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer an inventory determination (the "Inventory Determination") comparing the cost of the Inventory as of July 31, 1996, which is set forth in Schedule 2.3 hereto, with ------------ the actual cost (including the actual and reasonable freight and handling costs associated with acquiring and delivering the Inventory to the Sam's Club Locations) of the Inventory transferred on the Closing. The Sellers and the Buyer may each conduct their own physical count of the Inventory transferred on the Closing Date. The Buyer shall notify the Sellers in writing of any disputed items contained in the Inventory Determination within thirty (30) days from its delivery, and after such date all undisputed items shall be deemed accepted by the Buyer and made part of the Final Statement. In the event that the Sellers and the Buyer are unable to agree upon disputed items within thirty (30) days after the Buyer's notification thereof, then the amount of the disputed items shall be determined by the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse LLP, or such other firm selected by the Buyer within fifteen days after the end of such thirty day period. The disputed items shall be submitted to the selected accounting firm within thirty days after such accounting firm is selected. The determination by such accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, shall be made within sixty days after such disputed items are so submitted and shall be made a part of the Final Statement. The Buyer shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the accounting firm settling any disputed items on the Final Statement.
Post-Closing Adjustment (a) Not more than twenty (20) days after the Closing Date, Purchasers shall deliver to Sellers a certificate of an authorized officer setting forth Purchasers’ calculation, as of the Closing Date, of the Net Working Capital (the “Proposed Closing Net Working Capital”). Such statement shall include separate line items, as of the Closing, for (i) cash and cash equivalents included in the Purchased Assets, (ii) the amount of outstanding accounts receivable included in the Purchased Assets, and (iii) the amount of Assumed Liabilities described in Section 2.7(a). (b) If within ten (10) days following delivery of the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital calculation Sellers have not given Purchasers written notice of their objection to the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital calculation (which notice shall state the basis of Sellers’ objection(s)), then the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital calculated by Purchasers (or any portion of the calculation to which Sellers do not object) shall constitute the “Final Closing Net Working Capital,” shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties. (c) If Sellers give Purchasers timely notice of objection, and if Sellers and Purchasers fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital within ten (10) days of Purchasers’ receipt of Sellers’ objection notice, Sellers and Purchasers shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to the Houston office of Deloitte LLP (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution. If for any reason the Houston office of Deloitte LLP is unwilling to act as the Independent Accountants, the Independent Accounts shall be such other recognized national or regional independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchasers and Sellers. (d) If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (1) Seller and Purchasers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that Party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; and (2) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Seller and Purchasers within twenty (20) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall constitute the “Final Closing Net Working Capital,” shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used in computing the Adjustment Amount. The costs and fees related to such determination by the Independent Accountants, including the costs relating to any negotiations with the Independent Accountants with respect to the terms and conditions of such Independent Accountants’ engagement, will be shared equally by Purchasers and Sellers. (e) If the Final Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital then within five (5) Business Days of such Final Closing Net Working Capital being provided to the Purchasers, the Purchasers shall issue to Sellers the number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of Hercules Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) such excess, divided by (B) 3.36, provided that, in no event shall Purchasers be required to issue more than an aggregate of 22,321,425 shares of Hercules Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and if Purchasers would otherwise be required, but for this proviso, to issue more shares, then such additional amount owed to Sellers shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the number of shares exceeding 22,321,425 multiplied by $3.36. If the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Final Closing Net Working Capital, then the Sellers shall return to Purchasers for cancellation the number of Hercules Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient of (A) such excess, divided by (B) 3.36.
Superseding Adjustment If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f) as the result of any issuance of warrants, other rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(g) above, there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or other rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.
Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event (a) the Final Purchase Price is more than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such difference, or (b) the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, in either event by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Payment by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be within five (5) days of the Final Settlement Date.
