(c)           From the date hereof through the Closing Date, on or before the 5 th day of each calendar month, PRWT shall deliver to KBL a written statement of PRWT’s Net Debt as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar month (“ Periodic Net Debt Statement ”), which shall (i) provide such detailed information as may be reasonably requested by KBL prior to such date, (ii) be derived utilizing generally accepted accounting principles, consistent with PRWT’s historical practice and (iii) be certified as being true and complete by PRWT’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

(e)           If PRWT’s Estimated Net Debt Amount is less than $45,000,000, as determined in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares shall be increased (“ Stockholder Shares Increase Amount ”) by an amount equal to the Net Debt Surplus divided by $7.85.  “ Net Debt Surplus ” shall mean the amount by which $45,000,000 exceeds the Estimated Net Debt Amount.  As an example, if the Estimated Net Debt Amount is $44,000,000, the Net Debt Surplus will be $1,000,000, the Stockholder Shares Increase Amount will be $1,000,000 divided by $7.85, or 127,389 shares (and an aggregate of 12,077,389 Stockholder Shares will be issued under Section 1.6).

 

(f)           If PRWT’s Estimated Net Debt Amount is more than $45,000,000, as determined in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.7(i) hereof, the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares issued at Closing shall be decreased (“ Stockholder Shares Decrease Amount ”) by an amount equal to the Net Debt Excess divided by $7.85.  “ Net Debt Excess ” shall mean the amount by which the Estimated Net Debt Amount exceeds $45,000,000.  As an example, if the Estimated Net Debt Amount is $46,000,000, the Net Debt Excess will be $1,000,000, the Stockholders Shares Decrease Amount will be $1,000,000 divided by $7.85, or 127,389 shares (and an aggregate of 11,822,611 Stockholders Shares will be issued under Section 1.6).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Stockholder Shares Decrease Amount shall not exceed the number of Escrow Shares.

 

(g)            As soon as practicable after the Closing, but not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing, the Representative (as defined in Section 1.12(b)) shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to deliver to the Committee a statement (the “ Closing Net Debt Statement ”) showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of PRWT’s Net Debt as of the Closing (the “ Closing Net Debt Amount ”).  The Committee and PRWT shall cooperate with the Representative in connection with the preparation of the Closing Net Debt Statement.  If the Representative does not receive written notice from the Committee disputing the Closing Net Debt Statement within the fifteen (15) day period mentioned in Section 1.7(k) below, then the Closing Net Debt Statement shall become final and binding on the parties.  The costs and expenses of the preparation of the Closing Net Debt Statement shall be borne by the Surviving Pubco.

(h)           If the Closing Net Debt Amount (as finally determined, pursuant to Section 1.7(g) or (k), as applicable) is less than the Estimated Net Debt Amount, the Surviving Pubco shall issue to the Stockholders, within ten (10) days after the final determination of the Closing Net Debt Amount, shares of PRWT Common Stock equal to (x) the amount by which the Closing Net Debt Amount is less than the Estimated Net Debt Amount divided by (y) $7.85.  If the Closing Net Debt Amount is greater than the Estimated Net Debt Amount, the Surviving Pubco shall be entitled, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.7(i) hereof, to withdraw, within ten (10) days after the final determination of the Closing Net Debt Amount, the amount of Escrow Shares (as defined in Section 1.10) equal to (x) the amount by which the Closing Net Debt Amount exceeds the Estimated Net Debt Amount divided by (y) $7.85.  If the Closing Net Debt Amount is equal to the Estimated Net Debt Amount, there shall be no adjustment.

 

(i)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of shares of PRWT Common Stock to be issued to the Stockholders pursuant to either Section 1.7(f) or (h) shall serve to reduce the Escrow Shares (and not the 11,008,789 shares of PRWT Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.6 that are not subject to the escrow described in Section 1.10), and that any such reduction shall be limited to the number of Escrow Shares actually remaining in the Escrow Account.

 

(j)           The calculation of the Estimated Net Debt Amount and the Closing Net Debt Amount shall be made in accordance with U.S. GAAP (as defined in Section 2.7(a)) and consistent with past practice.

 

(k)           If the Committee disagrees with the Closing Net Debt Statement used to calculate the Closing Net Debt Amount, it shall notify the Representative of such disagreement in writing specifying in reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement (each, an Item of Dispute ) within fifteen (15) calendar days after its receipt of the Closing Net Debt Statement.  The Representative and the Committee shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days after the Committee’s delivery of such notice (or such longer period as PRWT and the Committee may mutually agree upon) to resolve any Items of Dispute raised by the Committee with respect to the Closing Net Debt Statement.  During any such period of dispute, the Committee and Representative shall have reasonable access to the working papers of the Representative’s accountants relating to the Closing Net Debt Amount.  If, at the end of such period, the Representative and the Committee do not resolve any such Item of Dispute, either the Representative or the Committee may submit the matter to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm of recognized national standing to review the Closing Net Debt Statement and resolve any remaining Items of Dispute regarding the Closing Net Debt Amount.  In the event the Representative and the Committee cannot agree upon an accounting firm within ten (10) days after notice from a party to the other party, they shall choose an accounting firm by lot from those accounting firms of recognized national standing practicing in Pennsylvania having no material relationship to the Representative, KBL, the Committee or their respective Affiliates and having offices in locations suitable to conduct such review.  The accounting firm selected in accordance with the preceding two sentences is referred to herein as the “ Accounting Firm .”  The Representative and the Committee shall request that the Accounting Firm render a determination on each Item of Dispute, solely based on whether such Item of Dispute was prepared accurately and in accordance with U.S. GAAP and consistent with past practice.  The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Representative and the Committee shall make their respective submissions to the Accounting Firm within twenty (20) business days after selecting such firm pursuant to this Section 1.7(i).  The Representative and the Committee shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within thirty (30) calendar days after accepting its selection.  All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Surviving Pubco.

To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

 

1.8            Tax Consequences .  It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.  The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Income Tax Regulations.

 

1.9            Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action .  If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Pubco with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of PRWT and KBL, the then current officers and directors of KBL, and the officers and directors of PRWT shall take all such lawful and necessary action.
