     (v) Unless jointly instructed otherwise by the Seller Parties and the Purchaser, the Neutral Auditor shall limit its decisions to the Disputed Items, but shall as basis for such decisions also duly take into account the undisputed parts of the KNE Closing Balance Sheet and the Base Purchase Price Determination Certificate. If and to the extent the Neutral Auditor’s decisions require the interpretation of provisions of this Agreement, the Neutral Auditor shall be entitled to interpret them as far as necessary to determine the Disputed Items and to reach a decision on them. Other decisions, e.g. concerning disputes about legal procedures or the fulfillment of procedural requirements, shall not be within the scope of the Neutral Auditor’s tasks. The Neutral Auditor shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

19


 
     (vi) The Parties shall make available to the Neutral Auditor the KNE Closing Balance Sheet and the Base Purchase Price Determination Certificate, the written statement of Disputed Items, the Revised Base Purchase Price Determination Certificate and all other documents and other data reasonably required by the Neutral Auditor to make the required decisions and determination. The Neutral Auditor shall immediately submit copies of all documents and other data made available by one party to the respective other party. Before deciding on the Disputed Items put to it by the Seller Parties and the Purchaser, the Neutral Auditor shall grant the Seller Parties and the Purchaser the opportunity to present their respective positions, which shall include the opportunity of at least one oral hearing in the presence of both of them and their professional advisers. The Seller Parties and the Purchaser shall instruct the Neutral Auditor to use its best efforts to deliver its written opinion with reasons for the decisions as soon as reasonably practical, but not later than within two (2) months of the issues in dispute having been referred to the Neutral Auditor. Except for manifest error or intentional fault, the Neutral Auditor’s decisions on the KNE Closing Balance Sheet and the Base Purchase Price Determination Certificate as determined by the Neutral Auditor shall be final and binding upon the parties for the purpose of determining the KNE Closing Balance Sheet and the Base Purchase Price Determination Certificate. The fees and disbursements of the Neutral Auditor shall be shared between the Seller Parties and the Purchaser in proportion to their respective success and defeat as determined by the Neutral Auditor.

          (b) Post-Closing Payment . Within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Cumulative Revenue Report in which it is reported that the aggregate Cumulative Revenue since the Closing Date meets or exceeds $20,000,000, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller Parties an amount equal to $6,000,000.
          2.7 Allocation .
          (a) No later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will submit to the Seller Parties its allocation of the Purchase Price, the Post-Closing Payment plus Assumed Liabilities and any other items of consideration for purposes of Section 1060 of

20


 
the Code, in each case, to the extent properly taken into account under the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, among the Acquired Assets and the non-competition undertakings contained in the Non-Competition and Confidentiality Agreement, subject to the approval of the Seller Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (the “ Allocation ”). The Allocation will be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. The Purchaser and the Seller Parties agree to revise the Allocation to reflect any Final Base Purchase Price, Post-Closing Payment, Assumed Liabilities or any other item of consideration for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code, in each case to the extent not previously taken into account for purposes of the Allocation.
          (b) The Purchaser and the Seller Parties agree to (i) be bound by the Allocation, (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation in the filing of all Tax Returns (including filing Form 8594 with their United States federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto, and (iii) take no position and cause their Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the Allocation for income Tax purposes, including United States federal and state income Tax and non-U.S. income Tax, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to this transaction if such filing is required by Law, each of the Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall deliver to the other a copy of its Form 8594.
          2.8 Transfer Taxes . All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, recording, conveyance, notary fees and similar Taxes imposed by reason of the transfers of Acquired Assets provided hereunder and any deficiency, interest or penalty asserted with respect thereto (“ Transfer Taxes ”) shall be shared equally by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand; provided, however, that the Seller Parties shall be solely responsible for any and all Transfer Taxes in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). All Transfer Taxes shall be paid to the relevant Taxing authority by the Seller Parties when due, subject to prompt reimbursement by the Purchaser in accordance with the foregoing. The Seller Parties shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes; provided , that, the Seller Parties shall permit the Purchaser to review and comment on each such Tax Return and other documentation prior to filing and shall make such revisions to each such Tax Return and other documentation as are reasonably requested by the Purchaser. If required by applicable Law, the Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The Seller Parties shall provide the Purchaser with evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by the Seller Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for any Acquired Asset for which any Transfer Taxes have already been imposed in connection with the Closing, the term Transfer Taxes shall not include any additional Taxes imposed by reason of any subsequent transfer from the Seller Parties to the Purchaser of Acquired Assets following the Closing.
          2.9 Alternative Arrangements . Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any agreement or certificate executed and delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor any such agreement or certificate shall constitute an agreement to assign any Contract, Permit or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without

21


 
the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a default thereof. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that the Purchaser would not receive all such rights, the Seller Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect alternative arrangements in the form of a license, sublease, or operating agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Seller Parties until such time as such consent or approval has been obtained that results in the Purchaser receiving substantially all of the benefits under and bearing all the ordinary course costs, liabilities and other obligations with respect to any such Contract or Permit. Upon obtaining the requisite third party consent thereto, each such non-assignable Contract or Permit shall be transferred and assigned to the Purchaser hereunder.
