Closing Adjustment Schedule. (a) Not less than five Business Days before the Closing Date, the AKD Members shall deliver to GCI a schedule signed by AKD and the AKD Members (the “Closing Adjustment Schedule”) setting forth in detail the AKD Interest-Bearing Obligations and the AKD Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date. The Closing Adjustment Schedule shall be prepared by AKD and the AKD Members in good faith and in a manner consistent with GAAP and the balance sheets included in the AKD Financial Statements. AKD and the AKD Members shall provide GCI with such other information concerning the Closing Adjustment Schedule as GCI may reasonably request. The Closing Adjustment Schedule will be prepared as of the Closing Date but will be consistent in form with the AKD Interest-Bearing Obligations and the AKD Net Working Capital as of May 31, 2006 set forth on Schedule 2.3.2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. (b) The Closing Adjustment Schedule shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto for all purposes, unless GCI shall notify the AKD Members’ Agent in writing, not later than thirty (30) days from the Closing Date, of a disagreement with the AKD Interest-Bearing Obligations or AKD Net Working Capital reflected in the Closing Adjustment Schedule, in which event the provisions of Section 2.3.2(c) below shall apply. Such notice of disagreement shall specify all items as to which there is disagreement, and an explanation of the basis for any disagreement. During the 30-day review period, GCI shall have full access to the AKD Group’s books and records during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, and to the employees, representatives and agents of AKD who prepared, or assisted in the preparation of, the Closing Adjustment Schedule. GCI’s failure to timely notify AKD in writing of the existence of such a disagreement shall be deemed, for all purposes, GCI’s acceptance of the Closing Adjustment Schedule. (c) In the event and to the extent that GCI shall timely notify the AKD Members’ Agent in writing, as provided in Section 2.3.2(b) above, of a disagreement with the Closing Adjustment Schedule (the “Disagreement”), GCI and the AKD Members’ Agent shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve such Disagreement. In the event that the parties are unable to resolve such Disagreement within ten Business Days from the date of receipt by the AKD Members’ Agent of notice from GCI of the Disagreement, GCI and the AKD Members’ Agent shall jointly select one of the “Big Four” accounting firms, or any successors thereto, to resolve the Disagreement (the “Accountants”). Each of GCI and the AKD Members’ Agent shall submit to the Accountants its proposal concerning what the Closing Adjustment Schedule should be, and the parties shall submit to the Accountants all relevant financial data, and the Disagreement shall be submitted for final and binding arbitration and resolution before representatives of the Accountants. In resolving the Disagreement, the Accountants shall only consider those items or amounts in the Closing Adjustment Schedule as to which GCI has disagreed. After completing their review of the Disagreement, the Accountants shall resolve each item in dispute and confirm their conclusion (and the resulting Closing Adjustment Schedule) in writing to the AKD Members’ Agent and GCI, and the decision of the Accountants regarding such adjustment shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees and costs of the Accountants, if any, in connection with such arbitration shall be paid by the nonprevailing party (either the AKD Members or GCI), whose identity shall be determined by the Accountants. (d) Upon determination of the final Closing Adjustment Schedule, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the AKD Net Asset Value, the number of AKD Common Units issued pursuant to Section 2.3 and the capital account balances of Parent and the AKD Members under Section 2.2 to offset any changes from the Closing Adjustment Schedule. Schedule 1.3 of the Operating Agreement will thereafter be amended to reflect the adjusted amount of AKD Common Units issued to GCI and Schedule 4.1 of the Operating Agreement will thereafter be amended to reflect the adjusted capital account balances of Parent and the AKD Members.
