Adjustment Amount (a) Schedule 2.16 sets forth a sample calculation of the Adjustment Amount and the Target Adjustment Amount as of the Balance Sheet Date (the “Sample Closing Statement”), including the asset, liability and other line items and accounting principles used in such calculation, and assuming that all of such asset and liability line items that constitute Mallinckrodt Assets or Mallinckrodt Liabilities under this Agreement will be transferred to Mallinckrodt as of the Distribution.
(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Distribution Date, Mallinckrodt shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Covidien a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) the Adjustment Amount and the calculation of the Adjustment Amount and (ii) the Target Adjustment Amount and the calculation of the Target Adjustment Amount. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles, including the use of the same line items and line item entries, set forth on and used in the preparation of the Sample Closing Statement; provided, however, that assets newly acquired and liabilities newly incurred following the date of the Sample Closing Statement which cannot be appropriately placed in line items previously used by Mallinckrodt, but that constitute Mallinckrodt Assets or Mallinckrodt Liabilities, will also be included to the extent consistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles.
(c) Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Covidien of the Closing Statement, Covidien shall deliver written notice to Mallinckrodt of any dispute Covidien has with respect to the preparation or content of the Closing Statement (the “Dispute Notice”); provided, however, that if Covidien does not deliver any Dispute Notice to Mallinckrodt within such thirty (30)-day period, the Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Any Dispute Notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail the basis for any dispute included therein, the amounts involved and Covidien’s determination of the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) and (ii) include only disagreements based on the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) not being calculated properly in accordance with this Agreement or containing mathematical errors. Upon receipt by Mallinckrodt of a Dispute Notice, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute set forth therein. If Mallinckrodt and Covidien, such good faith effort notwithstanding, fail to resolve any such dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt by Mallinckrodt of the Dispute Notice (the “Dispute Resolution Period”), then Mallinckrodt and Covidien jointly shall engage, within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period, Ernst & Young LLP or, if Ernst & Young LLP is unavailable or conflicted, another nationally recognized major accounting firm selected jointly by Covidien and Mallinckrodt (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve any such dispute. If Ernst & Young LLP is unavailable or conflicted and Covidien and Mallinckrodt are unable to agree on the Independent Accounting Firm, then each of Covidien and Mallinckrodt shall select a nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually select a third nationally recognized major accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than fifteen (15) days following the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall each prepare and submit a presentation detailing each Party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of each issue still in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm. Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to, as soon as practicable after the submission of the presentations described in the immediately preceding sentence and in any event not more than thirty (30) days following such presentations, make a final determination, binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items that remain in dispute as indicated in the Dispute Notice. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Covidien or Mallinckrodt, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts set forth by Mallinckrodt in the Closing Statement or by Covidien in the Dispute Notice, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether any determination of the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) was properly calculated in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles, and the Independent Accounting Firm is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether GAAP was followed, to the extent GAAP is inconsistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Covidien and Mallinckrodt. All determinations made by the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Closing Statement, as modified by the Independent Accounting Firm, will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error.
(d) For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.16, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall cooperate with and make available to each other and their respective Representatives all information, records, data and working papers, in each case, to the extent related to the Mallinckrodt Assets, Mallinckrodt Liabilities or Mallinckrodt Business, and shall permit access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder.
(e) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), is greater than the Target Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), by at least $20 million, then Mallinckrodt shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to the difference from the first dollar (i.e., without regard to the $20 million threshold) to Covidien by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Covidien to Mallinckrodt. If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), is less than the Target Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), by at least $20 million, then Covidien shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to the difference from the first dollar (i.e., without regard to the $20 million threshold) to Mallinckrodt by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Mallinckrodt to Covidien. Any such payment pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) is to be made within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Adjustment Amount and the Target Adjustment Amount have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.16.
Purchase Price Credit Adjustments If on any day:
(a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable purchased from any Originator is:
(i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or returned goods or services, any cash discounts, any volume discounts or any adjustment or otherwise by such Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than as a result of a charge-off of such Receivable or cash Collections applied to such Receivable),
(ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction),
(iii) reduced on account of the obligation of such Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or
(iv) less on the date of its sale then the amount reflected in the applicable Purchase Report, or
(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1(i), (j), (l), (r), (s), (t), (u) and the second sentence of Section 2.1(q) hereof is not true when made or deemed made with respect to any such Receivable, then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the applicable Originator hereunder equal to (x) in the case of clauses (a)(i) – (iv) above, the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount reflected in the applicable Purchase Report, as applicable, and (y) in the case of clause (b) above, the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, which shall be reconveyed by the Buyer to the applicable Originator following receipt of such amount. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Receivables originated by the applicable Originator on any day, such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash immediately, provided that if the applicable Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note.
Net Working Capital Adjustment (a) At least three (3) Business Days, but no more than seven (7) Business Days, prior to the Closing Date, Representative shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital immediately prior to the Closing (subject to the last sentence hereof, the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), which shall be certified by a duly authorized officer of the Company as the Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing, which statement shall quantify in reasonable detail the estimates of each item included in such calculation, in each case calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate with one another in connection with the preparation and evaluation of such estimate. The Company Parties shall promptly provide Purchaser and its representatives access to all personnel, relevant documents, and information reasonably requested by Purchaser or its representatives in connection with their review of the Estimated Net Working Capital (including all components thereof). Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Representative of any objections to the Estimated Net Working Capital (including any component thereof), and the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve such objections and agree upon a final Estimated Net Working Capital for purposes of Closing, and such agreed upon estimate shall be deemed the Estimated Net Working Capital. (b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) calculating the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) as well as the adjustments to the Purchase Price which shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.3; provided, however, that a failure by Purchaser to deliver the Closing Statement within such ninety (90) day period will not impair Purchaser’s rights under this Section 1.3, except to the extent that Seller has been prejudiced by such failure. Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in its preparation of the Closing Statement. Upon delivery of the Closing Statement, Purchaser shall promptly provide Representative access to all personnel, relevant documents and information to the extent they relate to the Closing Statement (or preparation thereof) reasonably requested by Representative in connection with its review of the Closing Statement and Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital (including all components thereof), provided that such access is in a manner that does not unreasonably or materially interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser and its Affiliates.
(c) If Representative disputes any amounts as shown on the Closing Statement, Representative shall deliver to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement a notice (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth Representative’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and describing in reasonable detail the basis (including for each component, the difference and the amount thereof and reasons therefor) for the determination of such different amount. If Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) prepared and delivered by Purchaser will be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and the Final Closing Net Working Capital. Any such disputes shall be limited to assertions that the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) was not calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3, including all defined terms in this Agreement. Any component not disputed in the Dispute Notice shall be treated as final and binding. Purchaser and Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences within a period of thirty (30) days after Representative has given the Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Representative resolve such differences, the Closing Statement and the Closing Net Working Capital agreed to by Purchaser and Representative will be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and the Final Closing Net Working Capital. If Purchaser and Representative do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Statement and the Closing Net Working Capital within thirty (30) days after Representative has delivered the Dispute Notice, unless Purchaser and Representative mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Neutral Accountant shall resolve such differences with respect to the adjustment under this Section 1.3 pursuant to a reasonable engagement agreement among Purchaser, Representative, and the Neutral Accountant (which Purchaser and Representative agree to execute promptly), in the manner provided below. Each of Purchaser and Representative shall be deemed to have executed such engagement agreement if it fails to do so within twenty (20) days after receiving a draft thereof. The Neutral Accountant shall have full authority to arbitrate all of the issues or matters relating to the adjustments under this Section 1.3, but shall only decide the specific components under dispute in the Dispute Notice (the “Disputed Items”), solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each of Purchaser and Representative will be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant at which the other will be entitled to be present and participate, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to between Purchaser, Representative, and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding such Party’s determination of the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of the Closing Net Working Capital therein); and Purchaser and Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Accountant to resolve the differences between them and determine the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of the Closing Net Working Capital therein) within twenty (20) days after the engagement of the Neutral Accountant. Each of Purchaser and Representative, as a condition precedent to making a presentation to the Neutral Accountant and having the Neutral Accountant review its calculations, shall provide reasonable advance access to the other Party with respect to such materials and reasonably cooperate with the other Party in its review and analysis thereof. The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on such presentations of, and materials provided by, Purchaser and Representative (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms and conditions included in this Agreement. The Closing Statement (and determination of the Closing Net Working Capital therein) determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and the Final Closing Net Working Capital. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent Fraud or manifest error, and will be an arbitral award that is non-appealable. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne by Representative and Purchaser in proportion to the amounts by which their respective calculations of the Closing Net Working Capital differ from the Final Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant. Nothing in this Section 1.3(c) is to be construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountant to: (i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement, except for the resolution of differences between Purchaser and Representative regarding the determination of the Final Closing Statement (and the Final Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein); or (ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to any component of the Closing Statement (and the Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein) that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by Purchaser and Representative.
(d) Promptly, but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the final determination thereof, if the Final Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement: (i) exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay such excess amount to Representative, for the benefit of Sellers, in Parent Shares or cash, in Purchaser’s sole discretion (or if Purchaser has not paid to the Sellers any excess of the Estimated Net Working Capital over the Target Net Working Capital at Closing, then Purchaser shall pay to Representative, for the benefit of Sellers, the excess amount of the Final Closing Net Working Capital over the Target Net Working Capital in Parent Shares or cash, in Purchaser’s sole discretion); or (ii) is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Sellers shall pay such shortfall to Purchaser. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 7 are inapplicable to the adjustments to be made under this Section 1.3.
Estimated Payments Commencing on the first day of the Term on which Additional Rent is due, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord all Additional Rent for:
a) Real estate taxes pursuant to Section 2 above,
b) Insurance premiums pursuant to Section 3 above,
c) HVAC maintenance pursuant to Section 5 above,
d) Common Area Charges pursuant to Section 4 above and
e) Water and common utility use pursuant to Section 14 below. On an annual basis, Landlord shall provide Tenant with (a) a statement of all actual Common Area Charges and insurance premiums incurred in the preceding calendar year and (b) a statement of all charges of real estate taxes assessed against the Property in the preceding fiscal year. If Tenant has made estimated payments of Additional Rent during such calendar/fiscal year in excess of the actual amount due, Landlord shall credit Tenant with any overpayment against the next Rent otherwise due. If the actual Additional Rent due exceeds the estimated payments made by Tenant during the preceding year, Tenant shall pay such amount due as Additional Rent within 15 business days after notice from Landlord. Any failure by Landlord to deliver such statements shall not constitute a default by Landlord or operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect all or any portion of Additional Rent due pursuant to the terms of this Lease. If Additional Rent for any calendar year increases by more than five percent (5%) over Additional Rent for the immediately preceding calendar year, Tenant, within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement of actual Additional Rent (inclusive of those which vary with occupancy) for a particular calendar year, shall have the right to provide Landlord with written notice (the “Review Notice”) of its intent to review Landlord’s books and records relating to the Additional Rent for such calendar year. Within a reasonable time after receipt of a timely Review Notice, Landlord shall make such books and records available to Tenant or Tenant’s agent for its review at either Landlord’s home office or at the office of the Building, provided that if Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s books and records for any calendar year, such agent must (i) be a CPA firm or an in-house accountant or finance department employee of Tenant, (ii) not be compensated on a contingency basis and (iii) execute a copy of a confidentiality agreement with respect to such review. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all costs, expenses and fees incurred by Tenant or ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s agent in connection with such review. If Tenant elects to review ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s books and records, within thirty (30) days after such books and records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice stating in reasonable detail any objection to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s statement of actual Additional Rent for such calendar year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of objection within such thirty (30) day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the ninety (90) day period provided above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s statement of Additional Rent in all respects and shall thereafter be barred from raising any claims with respect thereto. Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of a timely objection notice from ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve the discrepancy between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s statement and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s review. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Additional Rent for the calendar year in question are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against future Rent in the amount of any overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Additional Rent for the calendar year in question are greater than reported, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of underpayment by Tenant with the understanding that there shall be no interest or late charge added thereto at the time same is billed to Tenant by reason of the failure of Tenant to previously have paid same when the excess was billed for such reviewed period. Any information obtained by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be permitted to examine ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s books and records or to dispute any statement of Additional Rent unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has paid to Landlord the amount due as shown on Landlord’s statement of actual Additional Rent, said payment being a condition precedent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to examine ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s books and records.
Working Capital Adjustment (a) The Company will, in good faith and in consultation with HSE, prepare and deliver to HSE within three (3) days before the Closing Date (i) a calculation of the Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount”), (ii) a calculation of the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”), and (iii) a calculation of the amount of Unpaid Transaction Costs (the “Estimated Unpaid Transaction Costs Amount”), (collectively, the items in clauses (i)—(iii) are referred to as the “Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments”). The calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments will be prepared by the Company in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. If HSE disputes any portion of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments prior to Closing, then HSE and the Company will negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve any such dispute at or prior to Closing.
(b) No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing, HSE shall cause to be prepared (i) a statement of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date (the “Net Working Capital Closing Statement”) and (ii) a calculation of the Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount, the Closing Cash Amount and the Unpaid Transaction Costs prepared in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement (the “Final Cost Adjustments”). The Net Working Capital Closing Statement shall contain line item detail comparable to the balance sheet included in the most recent Financial Statements with respect to the components of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date. The Representative, on behalf of Transferor, shall have a period of thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Net Working Capital Closing Statement, the Final Cost Adjustments and related worksheets to provide written notice of the Representative’s objection, on behalf of Transferor, to the Net Working Capital Closing Statement, the Final Cost Adjustments or the related worksheets (which notice shall state the basis for the Representative’s objection). If, within such thirty (30) day period, the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, has not given HSE written notice of its objection to the Net Working Capital Closing Statement, the Final Cost Adjustments or the related worksheets, then the Net Working Capital and the Final Cost Adjustments respectively reflected therein shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and used in making the adjustment provided for in Section 2.2(c). If the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, timely provides any such objection, Transferor and HSE shall work in good faith to resolve any differences with respect thereto. If, at the end of a fifteen (15)-day period from the date of delivery of any objection by the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, there are any matters that remain in dispute, then the remaining matters in dispute shall be submitted to ▇▇▇▇ & Associates (the “Referee”) within the following five (5) Business Days for resolution. The Referee shall make a determination with respect to the disputed matters submitted to it and determine the Net Working Capital of the Company and the Final Cost Adjustments as of the Calculation Date within 30 days after the objections that remain in dispute are submitted to it. If any objections are submitted to the Referee for resolution, (i) each Party shall furnish to the Referee such work papers and other documents and information relating to such objections as the Referee may request and are available to that Party (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Referee any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Referee; (ii) the determination by the Referee of the Net Working Capital of the Company and the Final Cost Adjustments as of the Calculation Date, as set forth in a written notice delivered to each of the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, and HSE by the Referee, shall be calculated in accordance with the past practices utilized in preparing the most recent Financial Statements, and shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and, absent manifest error, shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof; and (iii) the fees and expenses of the Referee shall be borne one-half by Transferor and one-half by HSE. The final Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date, as determined in accordance with this Section 2.2(b), is referred to as the “Final Net Working Capital.”
(c) If the Final Net Working Capital is less than zero, Transferor shall promptly pay to HSE an aggregate amount in cash equal to such deficiency. If the Final Net Working Capital is greater than zero, HSE shall pay to Transferor on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount of such excess in cash; provided, however, such payment by HSE shall not be due and payable to Transferor until the thirtieth (30th) day following the date that HSE has collected an aggregate amount of Accounts Receivable in excess of the aggregate current liabilities included in the calculation of Final Net Working Capital. In the event the sum of (i) the Closing Cash Amount minus (ii) the Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount minus (iii) the Unpaid Transaction Costs set forth in the calculation of the Final Cost Adjustments is less than such sum set forth in the calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments, Transferor shall promptly pay the amount of such deficiency to HSE in cash. In the event such sum set forth in the calculation of the Final Cost Adjustments is greater than the sum set forth in the calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments, HSE shall promptly pay to Transferor the amount of such excess in cash.
