Upon delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet, Purchaser will provide to Seller and its accountants reasonable access to the books and records of the Companies, to the extent reasonably related to its evaluation of the Closing Balance Sheet, the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital and the calculation of the Closing Capex Amount. If Seller shall disagree with the calculation of (a) the Closing Net Working Capital or any element of the Closing Balance Sheet relevant thereto or (b) the Closing Capex Amount, it shall notify Purchaser of such disagreement in writing within sixty (60) days after its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Capex Amount which notice shall set forth in detail the particulars of such disagreement.

In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided by Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital or the calculation of the Closing Capex Amount. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or such other independent accounting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Purchaser and Seller) (the “ Auditor ”) shall resolve any remaining disagreements. The Auditor shall determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which such dispute is referred to the Auditor, based solely on written submissions forwarded by Purchaser and Seller to the Auditor within ten (10) Business Days following the Auditor’s selection, (a) whether the Closing Balance Sheet was prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.06(c) and (only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Auditor) whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Net Working Capital determination requires adjustment or (b) whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Capex Amount determination requires adjustment. The fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be paid one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Seller. The determination of the Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The date on which the Closing Net Working Capital and the Closing Capex Amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.06(d) is referred as to the “ Determination Date .”

(e) Payment . The “ Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount ,” which may be positive or negative, shall mean (i) the Closing Net Working Capital minus (ii) the Base Working Capital. If the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (such difference, the “ Net Working Capital Increase Amount ”), then within five (5) days after the Determination Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Net Working Capital Increase Amount. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount is greater than the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (such difference, the “ Net Working Capital Deficit Amount ”), then within five (5) days after the Determination Date, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Net Working Capital Deficit Amount. If the Closing Capex Amount is greater than the Estimated Capex Amount (such difference, the “ Capex Increase Amount ”), then

If the Estimated Capex Amount is greater than the Closing Capex Amount (such difference, the “ Capex Deficit Amount ”), then within five (5) days after the Determination Date, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Capex Deficit Amount.
