Seller shall deliver to Buyer a customer statement showing all activity on such Person’s account, including a detailed listing of all credits and discounts to be provided to such Person or its Affiliates. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a balance sheet prior to Closing, including a good faith estimate draft at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, at and as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet” ), which shall include a specific line item for Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date, to determine the Net Working Capital (as defined below) of the Business as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The term “Net Working Capital” shall mean the consolidated net working capital of the Business as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which shall mean the sum of accounts receivable, net, prepaid expenses and other current assets minus the sum of accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, without giving effect to the Contemplated Transactions. Net Working Capital as of the Closing is estimated to be as set forth in Schedule 2.5. The individual line items included in Net Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP. The term “Target Net Working Capital” shall mean $5,837,000.
     2.6 Adjustment Procedure.
          (a) Within 150 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall recalculate the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Final Net Working Capital” ), (x) without giving effect to the Contemplated Transactions except as set forth on Schedule 2.5. and (y) omitting from accounts receivable any Accounts Receivable that are not actually collected (after making commercially reasonable efforts to collect such receivables in accordance with CAI’s normal collection policies) between the Closing Date and the date that is 145 days following the Closing Date and omitting from the accrued expenses the related commissions payable for such omitted Accounts Receivable, and notify in writing the Seller of such Final Net Working Capital. Final Net Working Capital shall be calculated pursuant to the formula set forth in Schedule 2.5 hereto and such calculations shall be set forth in the notice to Seller in reasonable detail consistent with Schedule 2.5. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.5, the individual line items included in Final Net Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP. Buyer shall provide the Seller with access to such working papers used by Buyer or its representatives or agents (including, without limitation, all accountants) to determine the Final Net Working Capital, as the Seller shall reasonably request. Thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Final Net Working Capital (or if the Seller has an objection to the Final Net Working Capital amount, within five Business Days after the final resolution of such objection as set forth in subsection (b) below if later than such date), the Purchase Price shall be recalculated such that the Purchase Price will be (i) increased by an amount equal to the excess of the Final Net Working Capital or the Net Working Capital resulting from subsection (b) below, as the case may be over Target Net Working Capital, if any, or (ii) decreased by an amount equal to the

19


 
excess of the Target Net Working Capital over the Final Net Working Capital or the Net Working Capital resulting from subsection (b) below, as the case may be (the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to the foregoing formula is referred to as the “Final Purchase Price” ). At such time as the Final Purchase Price is calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) the Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, by which the Final Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price or (ii) Buyer shall pay to the Seller, by depositing such amount in the Escrow Fund (as if such payment were additional Purchase Price) an amount, if any, by which the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price.
          (b) The Seller shall notify Buyer, in writing, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notification of the Final Net Working Capital, of any objections thereto, setting forth in such notice a statement describing such objections (an “Objection Notice” ). If the Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then the Final Net Working Capital shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto for the purposes of determining the dollar amounts therein. Buyer and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objection and to agree upon the definitive Net Working Capital to be used to calculate the Final Purchase Price. If within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of an Objection Notice, the parties have not resolved such objections and agreed upon the definitive Final Net Working Capital, Buyer and the Seller shall select Ernst & Young, LLP, to resolve any remaining objections (the “Firm” ) (or such other national accounting firm as the Parties shall mutually agree). Buyer and the Seller shall cause such Firm, within twenty (20) days after its selection, to resolve such disagreement and to prepare the definitive Net Working Capital to be used to calculate the Final Purchase Price, which resolution and definitive Net Working Capital will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Firm’s determination will be calculated in a manner consistent with, and using the same methodology set forth in Schedule 2.5 and this Section 2.6. If the parties submit any unresolved objections to the Firm for resolution as provided in this Section 2.6(b), the fees and expenses of the Firm shall be borne by the party whose assertion of Net Working Capital differs most from the Firm’s determination of Net Working Capital.
