Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an estimated consolidated balance sheet (the "Estimated Balance Sheet") of the Business as of the last day of the month immediately prior to the Closing Date (the "Preceding Month"), or in the event the Closing Date shall be within the first ten (10) days of any calendar month, as of the last day of the month immediately prior to the Preceding Month. Such Estimated Balance Sheet shall be prepared on the same terms and basis as specified in the second sentence of Section 3 (a) with respect to the Preliminary Audited Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 3). If the net investment shown on the Estimated Balance Sheet is at least $155 million, then there shall be no Estimated Balance Sheet Adjustment. If the net investment shown on the Estimated Balance Sheet is less than $135 million, Purchaser may at its option (1) terminate this Agreement or (2) proceed with the transactions contemplated herein, including the determination of the Closing Cash Payment as reduced by the Estimated Balance Sheet Adjustment described in the following sentence. If the net investment shown on the Estimated Balance Sheet is less than $155 million (the difference between the net investment and $155 million is hereinafter referred to as the "Estimated Shortfall"), then the Closing Cash Payment shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the Estimated Shortfall (such reduction being referred to as the "Estimated Balance Sheet Adjustment").
