Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that the exact Adjustment Amount will not be known as of the Closing Date and that the Adjustment Amount determined on the Closing Date may need to be adjusted subsequent to the Closing Date on the basis set forth herein. Accordingly, no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s past accounting methods, practices, policies and principles (including classification and estimation methodologies) (as adjusted by the terms of this Agreement), (ii) a determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, and (iii) a statement setting forth the determination of the resulting Adjustment Amount (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement”), which will be accompanied by a description in reasonable detail of Parent’s differences with the Company’s determination of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital.

If the Securityholders’ Representative does not deliver a Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice to Parent during such 30 day period, the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement will be deemed to be accepted in the form presented to the Securityholders’ Representative. If the Securityholders’ Representative timely delivers a Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice and Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative do not agree, within 15 days after timely delivery of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice, to resolve any discrepancy or disagreement therein, the discrepancy or disagreement will be submitted for review and final determination by the Independent Accounting Firm.
