otherwise using the accounting principles, procedures, policies and
methods used by the Company in preparing the Reference Balance
Sheet, and a calculation, in reasonable detail based upon such
updated Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, setting forth the
estimated amount of the Net Equity Value of the Company (the
“ Estimated Net Equity Value ”).
2.4 Net Equity
Value Purchase Price Adjustment .
(a)
(i) Not later than 60 days after the Closing Date or such
other time as is mutually agreed by the Parties, Parent shall cause
to be prepared and delivered to UCFC the Final Closing Date Balance
Sheet prepared in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(ii) ,
and a calculation, in reasonable detail based upon such Final
Closing Date Balance Sheet, setting forth the amount of the Net
Equity Value.
(ii) Parent
shall prepare or cause to be prepared the final balance sheet of
the Company, as of immediately prior to the Closing in accordance
with GAAP and otherwise using the accounting principles,
procedures, policies and methods used by the Company in preparing
the Reference Balance Sheet (the “ Final Closing Date
Balance Sheet ”). From and after the Closing, in
connection with the preparation and delivery of the Final Closing
Date Balance Sheet and calculation of Net Equity Value as set forth
therein and during the period of any dispute contemplated by this
Section 2.4 , Parent shall give, and use its reasonable best
efforts to cause its advisors to give, UCFC and its authorized
representatives reasonable access to the relevant books and
records, facilities and employees of the Company, subject to the
confidentiality and indemnity agreements as executed by the parties
contemporaneously herewith, as may be necessary to enable UCFC and
its advisers to review and analyze the Final Closing Date Balance
Sheet and such calculations based thereon.
(b)
(i) Within 60 days following its receipt of the Final
Closing Date Balance Sheet, UCFC shall deliver to Parent either
(i) its agreement as to the calculation of the Net Equity
Value as set forth therein or (ii) a written dispute notice,
specifying in reasonable detail the nature of its dispute of the
calculation of the Net Equity Value as set forth therein. During
the 30 days after the delivery of a dispute notice to Parent,
Parent and UCFC shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such
dispute and finally determine the Net Equity Value set forth in the
Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. If at the end of such 30-day
period, Parent and UCFC have failed to reach agreement with respect
to such dispute, the matter shall be submitted to a nationally
recognized accounting firm that is not the principal independent
auditor for either Parent or UCFC and is otherwise neutral and
impartial; provided , however , that if Parent and
UCFC are unable to select such other accounting firm within
45 days after delivery of a dispute notice to Parent, either
party may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint,
within 20 Business Days from the date of such request, an
independent public accountant with significant relevant experience
and that is not the principal independent auditor for either Parent
or UCFC. The accounting firm or accountant so selected shall be
referred to herein as the “ Accountant .” The
Accountant shall act as arbitrator and resolve the disputed
portions of the calculation of the Net Equity Value set forth in
the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet in accordance with the terms
and
10.12-12
conditions of
this Agreement. In making such determination, the Accountant may
only consider those items and amounts as to which Parent and UCFC
have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified
above and must resolve the matter in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; provided that the
determination of the Accountant will neither be more favorable to
Parent than reflected in the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet nor
more favorable to UCFC than reflected in UCFC’s dispute
notice. The Accountant shall deliver to UCFC and Parent, as
promptly as practicable after its appointment, a written report
setting forth the resolution of each disputed matter and its
determination of the Net Equity Value set forth in the Final
Closing Date Balance Sheet as determined in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. Such report shall be final and binding
upon the Parties to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
Requirements of Laws and may be enforced in any court having
jurisdiction. Each of Parent and UCFC shall bear all the respective
fees and costs incurred by it in connection with this arbitration,
and Parent and UCFC shall equally bear all the fees and costs
relating to the foregoing work by the Accountant.
(c) On
the second Business Day after the later of (x) the date UCFC
and Parent agree to the calculation of the Net Equity Value as set
forth in the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet and (y) if UCFC
and Parent are unable to agree on such calculation of the Net
Equity Value, the date that UCFC and Parent receive notice from the
Accountant, of the final determination of the amount(s) being so
disputed, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as
follows:
(i) If
the Net Equity Value is greater than the Reference Net Equity
Value, Parent shall pay to UCFC the difference between the Net
Equity Value and the Reference Net Equity Value.
(ii) If
the Net Equity Value is less than the Reference Net Equity Value,
the Purchase Price shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount
of such difference, and either (A) UCFC shall pay to Parent
the difference between the Estimated Net Equity Value and the Net
Equity Value (if the Estimated Net Equity Value is higher than the
Net Equity Value) or (B) Parent shall pay to UCFC the
difference between the Net Equity Value and the Estimated Net
Equity Value (if the Net Equity Value is higher than the Estimated
Net Equity Value, but less than the Reference Net Equity
Value).
(iii) Any
payment so required to be made by UCFC or Parent pursuant to this
Section 2.4(c) shall be by transfer of immediately
available funds to an account or accounts specified in writing by
UCFC or Parent (as the case may be) and shall bear interest from
the Closing Date through the date of payment at the rate of 3.25%
per annum.
