In the event that in preparing the Buyer Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement the Buyer conducts a physical inventory, the Seller shall be entitled to have one or more


representatives present during the conduct of such physical inventory. In addition, if the Buyer does not object to the Closing Date Net Asset Value as shown on the Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement within the 30-day period referred to above, the Closing Date Net Asset Value as reflected on the Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement as so prepared shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon the Seller and the Buyer.

(iii) In the event the Seller does not agree with the Buyer Determined Closing Date Net Asset Value as reflected on the Buyer Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement, the Seller shall so inform the Buyer in writing within 30 days after the Seller’s receipt thereof, such writing to set forth the objections of the Seller in reasonable detail. If the Seller and the Buyer cannot reach agreement as to any disputed matter relating to the Closing Date Net Asset Value within 15 days after notification by the Seller to the Buyer of a dispute, they shall forthwith refer the dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to the Seller and the Buyer for resolution, with the understanding that: (i) the Closing Date Net Asset Value, as finally determined by such firm, shall not be less than the amount thereof shown in Buyer’s Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement nor greater than the amount thereof shown in the Seller’s objection delivered pursuant to this clause (iii); and (ii) such firm shall resolve all disputed items within 20 days after such disputed items are referred to it.

The decision of any such accounting firm under this clause (iii) with respect to all disputed matters relating to the Closing Date Net Asset Value shall be deemed final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Seller and the Buyer. In addition, if the Seller does not object to the Buyer Determined Closing Date Net Asset Value within the 30-day period referred to above, the Buyer Determined Closing Date Net Asset Value as reflected on the Buyer Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement as so prepared shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon the Seller and the Buyer.

(iv) The Seller shall be entitled to have access to the books and records of the Buyer and the work papers of the Buyer prepared in connection with the preparation of the Buyer Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement and shall be entitled to discuss such books and records and work papers with the Buyer and those persons responsible for the preparation thereof. The accounting firm selected pursuant to Section 2(g)(iii) shall be entitled to have access to the books and records of the Buyer and the Seller and the work papers of the Buyer and the Seller prepared in connection with the preparation of the Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement and the Buyer Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement and shall be entitled to discuss such books and records and work papers with the Buyer and the Seller and those persons responsible for the preparation thereof.

(vi) If the Final Closing Date Net Asset Value is determined by an accounting firm under Section 2(g)(iii) , and such determination results in a payment to the Seller, then the Buyer shall pay the aggregate fees and expenses of the accounting firm selected to finally determine the Closing Date Net Asset Value. If the Final Closing Date Net Asset Value is determined by an accounting firm under Section 2(g)(iii) , and such determination results in a payment to the Buyer that is greater than the payment that would have been required to have been made to Buyer based on the Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement, or results in no payment to Buyer or Seller where a payment to Seller would have been required to have been made to Seller based on the Closing Date Net Asset Value Statement, then the Seller shall pay the aggregate fees and expenses of the accounting firm selected to finally determine the Closing Date Net Asset Value.
