Any number of offices may be held by the same Person. In the Board’s discretion, the Board may choose not to fill any office for any period as it may deem advisable. Officers need not be residents of the State of Delaware or a Member. Any Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Board may assign titles to particular Officers. Each Officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly designated and shall have qualified as an Officer or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Board.
Vacancies and Appointment of Trustees In case of the declination to serve, death, resignation, retirement or removal of a Trustee, or a Trustee is otherwise unable to serve, or an increase in the number of Trustees, a vacancy shall occur. Whenever a vacancy in the Board of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled, the other Trustees shall have all the powers hereunder and the certification of the other Trustees of such vacancy shall be conclusive. In the case of an existing vacancy, the remaining Trustees may fill such vacancy by appointing such other person as they in their discretion shall see fit, or may leave such vacancy unfilled or may reduce the number of Trustees to not less than two (2)

Examination and Review (i) After receipt of the Closing Statement, the Seller shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Statement. During the Review Period, the Seller and the Seller’s accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Company through the Closing Date, and work papers prepared by, the OpCo Buyer or the OpCo Buyer’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in the OpCo Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Statement as the Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, however, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of the OpCo Buyer or the Company.
(ii) On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to the OpCo Buyer a written statement setting forth the Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller and shall be final and binding on the Seller and the OpCo Buyer. If the Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the OpCo Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by the OpCo Buyer and the Seller shall be final and binding.
(iii) If the Seller and the OpCo Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of the Independent Accountant or, if the Independent Accountant is unable to serve, the OpCo Buyer and the Seller shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than any accountants previously engaged by the Seller or the OpCo Buyer (unless such previously engaged accountants are agreed to by the OpCo Buyer and the Seller, the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Statement. The Seller and the OpCo Buyer agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Seller and the OpCo Buyer and its decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.
(iv) The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Seller, on the one hand, and by the OpCo Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to the Seller or the OpCo Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Seller and the OpCo Buyer.
(v) The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Seller and the OpCo Buyer shall agree in writing) after its engagement, and its resolution of the Disputed Amounts and its adjustments to the Closing Statement or the Post-Closing Adjustment, absent fraud or manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Seller and the OpCo Buyer.
