Estimated Closing Statement (i) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror (A) a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimates of (1) the Estimated Net Working Capital (as well as the resulting Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus (if any) or Estimated Net Working Capital Shortfall (if any)), (2) the Estimated Transaction Expenses, (3) the Estimated Closing Cash and (4) the Estimated Closing Debt, and (B) a schedule which shall include (1) the Estimated Total Stock Purchase Consideration, (2) wire instructions for the payments to be made to NewCo at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.3(b), (3) each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage and the portion of the Estimated Total Stock Purchase Consideration attributable to each Seller; and (4) wire instructions for the payments of Debt, and the Estimated Transaction Expenses, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction Bonuses, to be made to the applicable payees thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(b) (such schedule delivered pursuant to this clause (B), the “Payment Schedule”). The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared by the Company in accordance with the Agreed Principles.
(ii) The Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments or objections to any amounts set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement notified to it by Acquiror prior to the Closing and if, prior to the Closing, the Company and Acquiror agree to make any modification to the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Estimated Closing Statement as so modified shall be deemed to be the Estimated Closing Statement; provided, that the failure of the Company and Acquiror to reach such mutual agreement will not give any party the right to terminate this Agreement or otherwise delay or fail to close the Stock Purchase or the other transactions contemplated hereunder.
(iii) Acquiror shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Payment Schedule in all respects in making any payments pursuant to this Agreement, and all obligations to make such payments shall be deemed fulfilled to the extent such payments are made in accordance with this Agreement, the Payment Schedule, and the Estimated Closing Statement, including the Earn-Out Payment. None of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) or the Seller Representative shall have any liability or obligation to any Person, including the Sellers and the Seller Guarantors, for any Damages arising from or relating to any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the calculations of the portion of any amounts payable to any Seller or any other Person or any other errors, omissions or inaccuracy in the information set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement or the Payment Schedule.
Closing Statement (a) In connection with the prorations required under SECTION 9.1, not later than 5 Business Days prior to the intended Closing Date, the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to have prepared a proforma of the accounting for the transaction that reflects the Seller’s good faith estimate of how items subject to proration will be accounted for by crediting or debiting appropriate accounts either pre or post Closing, respectively (the “Draft Closing Statement”). The Draft Closing Statement shall reflect the parties’ good faith estimate of all of the prorations, credits and/or other adjustments to be made at Closing. On the day prior to Closing, the Seller and the Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct inventories, examinations and audits of the Asset as may be necessary to verify and/or make revisions to the Draft Closing Statement based on such audits, examinations and inventories, and on the night preceding the Closing immediately after the Cut-Off Time, the Seller and the Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all final adjustments necessitated by such nights’ operations and prepare a final closing statement of prorations and adjustments required under SECTION 9.1 with such supporting documentation as the parties hereto may reasonably require being attached thereto. The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the completion of the Draft Closing Statement pursuant to this SECTION 9.2(a) shall not be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Buyer or the Seller to consummate the transactions pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If any items to be adjusted pursuant to this ARTICLE IX are not determinable at the Closing, or if any such adjustments made at the Closing prove to be incorrect, the adjustment shall be made subsequent to the Closing or corrected when the charge is finally determined. The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller no later than 60 days following the Closing Date (except with respect to any item which is not reasonably determinable within such time frame, as to which the time frame shall be extended until such item is reasonably determinable) a schedule of prorations setting forth the Buyer’s determination of prorations not determined at the Closing and any adjustments to the prorations made at Closing that it believes are necessary to complete the prorations as set forth in this ARTICLE IX. Any errors or omissions in computing adjustments or readjustments at the Closing or thereafter shall be promptly corrected or made, provided that the party seeking to correct such error or omission or to make such readjustment shall have notified the other party of such error or omission or readjustment on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the receipt from the other party of such other party’s proposed adjustment or readjustment. The party owing the other party any sum pursuant to any adjustment, or readjustment or correction under this ARTICLE IX shall pay such sum to the other party within 15 days after the same has been determined as set forth above.
Closing Adjustment (A) with the actual amount paid at the Closing for Paid Time Off. The ----- Sellers shall notify the Buyer in writing of any disputed items contained in the Assets Determination within thirty (30) days from its delivery, and after such date all undisputed items shall be deemed accepted by Seller and made part of the final determination of the adjustment, if any, to be made to the Purchase Price (the "Final Statement"). As soon as practical, but in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer an inventory determination (the "Inventory Determination") comparing the cost of the Inventory as of July 31, 1996, which is set forth in Schedule 2.3 hereto, with ------------ the actual cost (including the actual and reasonable freight and handling costs associated with acquiring and delivering the Inventory to the Sam's Club Locations) of the Inventory transferred on the Closing. The Sellers and the Buyer may each conduct their own physical count of the Inventory transferred on the Closing Date. The Buyer shall notify the Sellers in writing of any disputed items contained in the Inventory Determination within thirty (30) days from its delivery, and after such date all undisputed items shall be deemed accepted by the Buyer and made part of the Final Statement. In the event that the Sellers and the Buyer are unable to agree upon disputed items within thirty (30) days after the Buyer's notification thereof, then the amount of the disputed items shall be determined by the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse LLP, or such other firm selected by the Buyer within fifteen days after the end of such thirty day period. The disputed items shall be submitted to the selected accounting firm within thirty days after such accounting firm is selected. The determination by such accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, shall be made within sixty days after such disputed items are so submitted and shall be made a part of the Final Statement. The Buyer shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the accounting firm settling any disputed items on the Final Statement.
Closing Adjustments Adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be made between Seller and Purchaser and shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date. The Closing Date shall be a day of income and expense for Purchaser. The following items shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise specified:
9.1 Prepaid rents and other prepaid charges collected by Seller from Tenant for the month of Closing shall be prorated by credit to Purchaser. Rents and other charges which relate to periods prior to Closing which have not been collected as of Closing (collectively "Delinquent Rents") shall not be prorated. Seller shall have the right to collect Delinquent Rents from Tenant, which may include legal proceedings against Tenant as Seller deems appropriate, provided no such action shall demand possession or termination of the Lease. Any rents collected after closing shall be applied against the receivable as indicated by Tenant, provided if not specifically identifiable, rents collected after Closing from Tenant shall be applied: (i) first, rents due for the month in which such payment is received, (iii) second, to rents attributable to any period after Closing which are past due on the date of receipt, and (iv) third, to Delinquent Rents. After Closing, Seller shall promptly remit to Purchaser any rents received relating to periods after Closing and Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller any Delinquent Rents received. The provision of this Section 9.1 shall survive Closing.
9.2 Real estate taxes, water, electricity, sewer, gas, telephone and other utilities and charges which are paid directly by Tenant under the Lease shall not be prorated.
9.3 To the extent that errors are discovered in, or additional information becomes available with respect to, the prorations and allocations made at Closing, Seller and Purchaser agree to make such post-Closing adjustments as may be necessary to correct any inaccuracy; however, all prorations (except for prorations and allocations of (i) ad valorem taxes, (ii) tenant reimbursables of taxes and operating expenses, as applicable and (iii) prorations or allocations that are then currently in dispute) shall be final no later than six (6) months after Closing.
Final Closing Statement (a) On or before the date that is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer or its representatives shall prepare a schedule setting forth its determination of Working Capital, Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses (the “Final Closing Statement”) and shall deliver the Final Closing Statement to the Seller. Working Capital shall be determined disregarding any effects on the assets and liabilities of the Seller of (i) purchase accounting adjustments arising from or resulting as a consequence of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any cash, cash equivalents, or stock contributed to Seller by Buyer or any of its Affiliates on the Closing Date.
(b) Prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after Buyer’s delivery of the Final Closing Statement (the “Protest Date”), the Seller may deliver written notice to Buyer (the “Protest Notice”) setting forth any objections which the Seller may have to the Final Closing Statement. The Protest Notice shall specify in reasonable detail any contested amounts and the basis therefor and shall include a schedule setting forth the Seller’s determination of Working Capital, Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses. If a Protest Notice is not delivered prior to the Protest Date, the Working Capital, Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses as set forth on the Final Closing Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Sellers. If a Protest Notice is delivered prior to the Protest Date, any amounts not disputed therein shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Seller. Upon receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Seller and its accountants will be given reasonable access upon reasonable notice to the relevant books, records, workpapers and personnel during regular business hours for the purpose of verifying Working Capital, Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses. The parties will thereafter negotiate any objections in the Protest Notice in good faith.
