hereinafter provided: (a) Cash plus accounts receivable plus any
prepaid
expenses, (including but not limited to taxes and other similar
items directly
related to the Assumed Liabilities which shall be prorated at
Closing) less (b)
trade accounts payable. The amount of this adjustment shall be
identified as
Purchase Price Adjustment (PPA). At the end of the ninety-day
period immediately
after Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall review the PPA and revise
it as
follows:
>> Reduce
or increase the PPA as the case may be by an amount equal to
any customer accounts receivable purchased at Closing that are
deemed
uncollectible or understated;
>>
Decrease or increase the PPA as the case may be by an amount equal
to
any increase in the accounts payable assumed by Purchaser at
Closing
which resulted from such accounts payable having been
understated-yet-due by Seller as of the Closing date or
overstated.
Purchaser and Seller shall review this revision and upon mutual
agreement, the
amount of the Secured Promissory Note described in the next section
may be
increased or decreased, and the subsequent monthly note payments
shall be made

the case of each Seller contract as to which such Material Consents
were not
obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) (the

the Restricted Material Contracts, and following the Closing, the
parties shall
use Best Efforts (other than that Seller and Buyer shall have no
obligation to
offer or pay any consideration in order to obtain any such Material
Consents),
and cooperate with each other, to obtain the Material Consent
relating to each
Restricted Material Contract as quickly as practicable. Pending the
obtaining of
such Material Consents relating to any Restricted Material
Contract, the parties
shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful
arrangements
designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of use of the Restricted
Material
Contract for its term (or any right or benefit arising thereunder,
including the
enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of
Seller against a
third party thereunder). Once a Material Consent for the sale,
assignment,
assumption, transfer, conveyance and delivery of a Restricted
Material Contract
is obt
