practices with respect to classification of Inventory.
(b) Closing Inventory
Statement . Two (2) business days prior to the proposed
Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer, a
statement setting forth Seller’s reasonable good faith
estimate of Seller’s Inventory, in units, in each of the
categories described in Sections 2.8(a)(i) through
(iv) above (the “ Minimum Inventory

Closing Inventory ” and “ Closing Inventory

(c) Closing Inventory
Audit . Buyer may, at its sole cost and expense, on or after

Closing Date and shall set forth in such notice (the “
Inventory Notice ”), in writing and in reasonable
detail: (i) the reasons for Buyer’s objections;
(ii) the units of each Minimum Inventory Category in dispute
described with reasonable specificity; and (iii) the basis for
the calculation of any such unit discrepancies. To the extent Buyer
does not submit an Inventory Notice as required and within such
sixty (60) day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted
such Closing Inventory Statement. The Parties shall endeavor, and
shall, if requested, cause their respective accountants to
endeavor, in good faith to resolve any dispute regarding the
Closing Inventory Statement within sixty (60) days after
Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Inventory
Notice.
(d) Resolution of
Inventory Disputes . If the Parties are unable to resolve the
disputed matters within such sixty (60) day period, the
Parties shall jointly select a nationally recognized independent
accounting firm (which firm shall not be the then-regular auditors
of either Party) to resolve the matters in dispute (in a manner
consistent with this Section 2.8 and consistent with
any matters not in dispute), and the determination of such firm in
respect of the correctness of each matter remaining in dispute
shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Parties shall
furnish to such accounting firm upon its reasonable request, the
books, records and Documents used in preparing the Closing
Inventory Statement or the Inventory Notice, as the case may be.
The fees and disbursements of the independent accounting firm
selected pursuant to Section 2.8(d) shall be allocated
to Buyer in the same proportion as (i) the aggregate amount of
such remaining disputed items so submitted to such accounting firm
that is unsuccessfully disputed by Buyer (as finally determined by
such accounting firm) bears to (ii) the total amount of the
disputed items so submitted, and the balance shall be paid by
Seller.
(e) Inventory
Shortfall . If the Closing Inventory (as finally determined
following any dispute resolution process initiated under
Section 2.8(d) ) is less than the Minimum Inventory
specified in any Minimum Inventory Category, then Seller shall pay
to Buyer the Inventory Shortfall (as defined below) ten
(10) Business Days following the final determination of the
Closing Inventory hereunder. The “ Inventory Shortfall
” shall mean the aggregate total of (i) the actual unit
shortfall, if any, in each Minimum Inventory Category (i.e.,
Closing
10
Inventory compared to Minimum Inventory)
times (ii) the book value of each such unit calculated
in accordance with GAAP as consistently applied by
Seller.

Price for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the
Purchased Assets and the goodwill and going concern value of the
Biologics SBU, as set forth on Schedule 2.9 (the
“ Allocation Schedule ”); and
(b) Within thirty
(30) days after the final determination of the Closing
Inventory Statement (as finally determined following any dispute
resolution process initiated under Section 2.8 ),
Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer, an amended Allocation
Schedule (the “ Final Allocation ”) that
reflects (i) any adjustments to the Purchase Price made
pursuant to Section 2.8 , which shall be allocated
among the Purchased Assets, and (ii) any adjustments in the
allocation of the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets
reasonably necessary to reflect changes in the Purchased Assets
between the date hereof and the Closing Date. In the event Buyer
believes the proposed Final Allocation as delivered by Seller is
incorrect, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of its objections
within twenty (20) days after receipt of the proposed Final
Allocation and shall set forth, in writing and in reasonable
detail: (i) the reasons for Buyer’s objections;
(ii) the items in dispute described with reasonable
specificity; and (iii) the amount in dispute and the basis for
the calculation of such amount. To the extent Buyer does not object
in writing and in reasonable detail as required and within such
twenty (20) day period to the proposed Final Allocation as
delivered by Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such
proposed Final Allocation, and such proposed Final Allocation shall
be deemed the finally determined Final Allocation. The Parties
shall endeavor, and shall, if requested, cause their respective
accountants to endeavor, in good faith to resolve any dispute
regarding the proposed Final Allocation within thirty
(30) days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice
of objections. If the Parties are unable to resolve the disputed
matters within such thirty (30) day period, the Parties shall
select a nationally known independent accounting firm (which firm
shall not be the then-regular auditors of either Party) to resolve
the matters in dispute (in a manner consistent with this
Section 2.9 and consistent with any matters not in
dispute), and the determination of such firm in respect of the
correctness of each matter remaining in dispute shall be conclusive
and binding on the Parties.
(c) In accordance with
Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, Buyer and Seller agree, unless otherwise
required pursuant to a “determination” within the
meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, to be bound by the
Final Allocation, to file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594

the Final Allocation, and not to take any position inconsistent
with the Final Allocation in the course of any audit, examination,
other administrative or judicial proceeding.
