Section 2.6. Adjustment Procedure .

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have prepared and delivered to the Buyer (i) an estimate of the balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) with supporting detail and (ii) a certificate of the Company containing (A) the Company’s calculation of the estimated Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements, (B) an estimate of all Funded Indebtedness (“Estimated Funded Indebtedness”) and (C) an estimate of Transaction Expenses paid by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall review the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and all supporting documentation and the parties shall resolve in good faith any disagreements concerning the Estimated Net Working Capital prior to Closing.

(b) The “Estimated Purchase Price” shall be $100,000,000 minus (i) Estimated Funded Indebtedness plus or minus (ii) the amount by which Estimated Net Working Capital is positive or negative. Such adjustments shall be calculated based on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the certificate delivered pursuant to subsection (a) above.

(c) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will prepare and deliver to the Selling Parties’ Representative (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a certificate of the Buyer (the “Adjustment Certificate”) containing Buyer’s calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”), the difference between the Closing Date Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital, and all Funded Indebtedness (“Closing Date Funded Indebtedness”). The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows: (i) increased by the amount by which Closing Date Net Working Capital exceeds Estimated Net Working Capital; (ii) decreased by the amount by which Estimated Working Capital exceeds Closing Date Working Capital, (iii)

 

16


increased by the amount by which Estimated Funded Indebtedness exceeds Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, and (iv) decreased by the amount by which Closing Date Funded Indebtedness exceeds Estimated Funded Indebtedness (the sum of the foregoing adjustments, the “Adjustment Amount”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements. The Buyer and the Company will make available to the Selling Parties’ Representative all books, records, and personnel relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet during normal business hours that the Selling Parties’ Representative may reasonably require in order to analyze the Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet, the Adjustment Certificate and the Adjustment Amount will be considered final and binding unless the Selling Parties’ Representative objects in writing thereto within 20 days after delivery of the Adjustment Certificate (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in the Closing Balance Sheet to which the Selling Parties’ Representative objects and shall provide a summary of reasons for such objections.

(d) If the Selling Parties’ Representative makes a timely objection to the Adjustment Certificate, the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer shall use good faith efforts to settle such dispute and reach a written agreement with respect to such dispute. If the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer are unable to enter into a settlement within 30 days after the Selling Parties’ Representative delivers the written objection under this Section 2.6, then the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer shall select an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing (or, if the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer cannot agree upon a selection, they shall select such accounting firm by lot from among the four largest accounting firms in the United States; provided that such selected accounting firm shall not at the time of selection be performing, or at any time during the three years preceding such selection have performed, services for the Sellers, the Company or the Buyer) that shall be instructed jointly by the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible. The Buyer and the Selling Parties’ Representative shall cooperate fully with the accounting firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable. The Buyer and the Selling Parties’ Representative shall instruct the accounting firm not to assign a value greater than the greatest value for any item assigned by the Buyer, on the one hand, or the Selling Parties’ Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by the Buyer, on the one hand, or the Selling Parties’ Representative, on the other hand. The accounting firm shall base its decision solely upon the presentations of the Buyer and the Selling Parties’ Representative delivered to the accounting firm and not upon an independent review. The independent accounting firm shall deliver a determination as to the Adjustment Amount, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Agreement. The Adjustment Amount and the determination thereof shall be (i) in writing, (ii) made in accordance with GAAP and (iii) nonappealable and incontestable by the Sellers and the Buyer and not subject to collateral attack for any reason. The fees and costs of the independent accounting firm incurred in the resolution of any items in dispute shall be reasonably determined by the independent accounting firm and set forth in the accountant’s adjustment determination, and shall be allocated between and paid by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, in inverse proportion to the extent they prevailed on the items in dispute.

 

17


(e) On the fifth Business Day following the final determination of the Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.6(d), (i) if the Adjustment Amount is positive, the Buyer will pay the Adjustment Amount to the Sellers; and (ii) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, the Selling Parties’ Representative will instruct the Escrow Agent to pay from the Escrow Amount the Adjustment Amount to the Buyer. All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) will be made together with interest, at the same rate of interest then being earned on the Escrow Amount, calculated from the Closing Date to the date of the payment. Payments will be made in immediately available funds. Payments to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) shall be made by wire transfer to the Purchase Price Bank Account(s) in accordance with each Seller’s Allocable Portion. Payments to the Buyer will be made by wire transfer to such bank account as the Buyer will specify.

Section 2.7. Withholding Taxes . The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to a Seller such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld from such payment under the IRC, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by the Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Seller in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.8. Earnout Election .

(a) Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, each Seller may elect (i) by delivering written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Buyer, to be an Earnout Seller (each such election, an “Earnout Election”) or (ii) by delivering written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Buyer, to be a Cash Seller (each such election, a “Cash Election”). Any Seller that fails to deliver to the Buyer an effective Earnout Election or an effective Cash Election within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed a Cash Seller for the purposes herein (as determined by the Buyer in its sole discretion) and shall not have right to or any interest in any of the Earnout Payments whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, any Earnout Election or Cash Election shall apply to all of the Common Units owned by the Seller making such Earnout Election or Cash Election and no Seller may make an Earnout Election or Cash Election with respect to only a portion of the Common Units owned by such Seller (except as provided in Section 2.8(c)).

(b) If the aggregate number of Common Units owned by such Sellers that have made an Earnout Election is less than 10% of the aggregate number of Closing Common Units, then all of the Earnout Elections shall be void and shall not be effective and each such Seller shall automatically be deemed a Cash Seller for the purposes herein.

(c) If the aggregate number of Common Units owned by such Sellers that have made an Earnout Election is greater than 50% of the aggregate number of Closing Common Units, then the Sellers who have made an Earnout Election will be deemed to have made an Earnout Election with respect to the number of Common Units owned and held by such Seller as of the Closing Date multiplied by a fraction equal to: (i) 50% of the aggregate number of Closing Common Units divided by (ii) the aggregate number of Common Units owned by the Sellers making an Earnout Election, with the product of the foregoing rounded down to the nearest whole number, and such Seller shall be deemed to be a Cash Seller with respect to the balance of the Common Units owned and held by such Seller as of the Closing Date.

(C) if the Company’s Operating Income is greater than or equal to $14,500,000, the 2009 Payment shall be equal to $2,600,000.

(iii) For the year beginning on January 1, 2010, and ending on December 31, 2010 (“Year 3”), each of the Earnout Sellers shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Buyer their Percentage Interest of an amount (such amount, the “2010 Payment”) determined in accordance with the criteria set forth below:

(A) if the Company’s Operating Income is less than $16,800,000, the 2010 Payment shall be equal to $0.00;

(c) The Company or the Buyer shall pay to each of the Earnout Sellers an amount in cash equal to such Earnout Seller’s Percentage Interest of the applicable Earnout Payment (if any) for each of Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Purchase Price Bank Account(s). With respect to Year 1, such payment (if any) shall be made within 30 days following the Buyer’s receipt of internal financial statements for the Company, but in no event later than December 31, 2008. With respect to Year 2 and Year 3, such payments (if any) shall be made within 30 days following the completion of the audited financial statements of the Buyer for Year 2 and Year 3, as applicable.

(d) During the Earnout Period, the Buyer, the Company and the Earnout Sellers, as applicable, shall conduct the Company’s business and operations without any intent to prejudice or artificially enhance the Earnout Sellers’ right to receive any Earnout Payment and shall not enter into any agreement that would prohibit the Buyer or the Company from making the Earnout Payments if and when any Earnout Payment is due or otherwise interfere therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall be maintained as a separate Subsidiary of the Buyer, and the Buyer will exercise good faith and fair dealing in its transactions with the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.9 to the contrary, the Buyer and the Company shall have no liability for any action taken in good faith; it being agreed and understood that the Earnout Payments are not guaranteed, are set at levels that reflect strong future performance, and that the Buyer and the Company may make business decisions in good faith which they believe to be appropriate but in hindsight may directly or indirectly affect the likelihood that the Earnout Sellers receive the Earnout Payments.

Section 2.10 Conversion . At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Sellers shall cause the Preference Amount to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Units and shall thereafter immediately effect the Conversion; provided, however, that if the Closing does not occur, nothing herein shall preclude the Company and the Sellers from effecting a cancellation and rescission of the Conversion.
