and shall be calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a basis
consistent with PKI’s accounting methods, treatments,
principles and procedures used in the preparation of the Financial
Statements referred to in Section 2.6 of this Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, Working Capital shall exclude all Excluded
Assets and Excluded Liabilities.
(b) If
Buyer in good faith disputes the Closing Working Capital Amount as
shown on the Closing Working Capital Statement prepared by PKI,
Buyer shall deliver to PKI within 60 days after receipt of the
Closing Working Capital Statement a statement (the “
Dispute Notice ”) setting forth Buyer’s
calculation of the correct Closing Working Capital Amount and
describing in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of
such different Closing Working Capital Amount. The Parties shall
use reasonable efforts to resolve such differences regarding the
determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount for a period of
30 days after Buyer has given the Dispute Notice. If the
Parties resolve such differences, the Closing Working Capital
Amount agreed to by the Parties shall be deemed to be the “
Final Closing Working Capital Amount ” and the Closing
Working Capital Statement agreed to by the Parties shall be deemed
to be the “ Final Closing Working Capital Statement
.”
(c) If
the Parties do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Working
Capital Amount within 30 days after Buyer has given the
Dispute Notice, unless the Parties mutually agree to continue their
efforts to resolve such differences, KPMG LLP (the “
Neutral Accountant ”) shall resolve such differences,
pursuant to an engagement agreement executed by the Parties and the
Neutral Accountant, in the manner provided below. The Parties shall
each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant,
pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among PKI, Buyer and the
Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures,
pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant),
regarding such Party’s
- 19 -
calculation of
the Closing Working Capital Amount; and the Neutral Accountant
shall be required to resolve the differences between the Parties
and determine the Closing Working Capital Amount within twenty
(20) Business Days after such presentations have been made.
The Closing Working Capital Amount determined by the Neutral
Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital
Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement, as adjusted to
reflect such determination, shall be deemed to be the Final Closing
Working Capital Statement. Such determination by the Neutral
Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent
fraud or manifest error.
(d) The
Neutral Accountant shall not be authorized or permitted
to:
(i) determine
any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with
this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the
Parties regarding the determination of the Closing Working Capital
Amount in accordance with this Section 1.4;
(ii) resolve
any such differences by making an adjustment to the Closing Working
Capital Statement that is outside of the range defined by amounts
as finally proposed by the Parties; or
(iii) apply
any accounting methods, treatments, principles or procedures other
than as described in Section 1.4(a).
(e) PKI,
on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each pay one
half of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant; provided
that if the Neutral Accountant determines that one Party has
adopted a position or positions with respect to the Closing Working
Capital Statement that is frivolous or clearly without merit, the
Neutral Accountant (i) may, in its discretion, assign a
greater portion of any such fees and expenses to such Party
and
- 20 -
(ii) shall
provide to the Parties a written explanation of its reasons for
making such a determination.
(f) The
Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.4
for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Working Capital
Amount shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any
such disputes, provided that this provision shall not prohibit any
Party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the
Neutral Accountant.
(g) Failure
of Buyer to deliver a Dispute Notice within 60 days after
receiving the Closing Working Capital Statement shall constitute
acceptance of the Closing Working Capital Amount set forth on the
Closing Working Capital Statement, whereupon such Closing Working
Capital Amount shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working
Capital Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be
deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Statement. Delivery
by Buyer of a Dispute Notice shall constitute final and binding
acceptance by Buyer of all portions of the Closing Working Capital
Statement other than those specifically identified in the Dispute
Notice as being subject to a good faith dispute.
(h) If
the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is less than $22,900,000,
as adjusted to exclude all Tax assets and liabilities of Sellers
and PKI Indonesia as of the Balance Sheet Date, including without
limitation accrued payroll taxes, accrued real estate taxes,
accrued personal property taxes, accrued sales and use taxes,
accrued employment taxes and accrued value-added taxes (the “
Target Working Capital Amount ”), then PKI shall pay
to Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Target
Working Capital Amount and the Final Closing Working Capital
Amount. If the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is more than
the Target Working Capital Amount, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers
an amount equal to the difference between the Final Closing Working
Capital Amount and the Target Working Capital
- 21 -
Amount. Any
payment pursuant to this Section 1.4(h) shall be made in cash
by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account or
accounts designated by the Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be,
within five Business Days after the date on which the Final Closing
Working Capital Amount is determined pursuant to this
Section 1.4.
(i) For
purposes of this Agreement, “ Adjusted Purchase Price
” means the Purchase Price plus, if applicable, the amount of
the payment required to be made by Buyer to PKI pursuant to the
second sentence of Section 1.4(h) or minus, if applicable, the
amount of the payment required to be made by PKI to Buyer pursuant
to the first sentence of Section 1.4(h).
1.5 Consents to
Assignment . Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement
to assign or transfer any asset, agreement, lease, authorization,
license or permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising
thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or
transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto or
of the issuing Governmental Entity (as defined in
Section 2.4(b)), as the case may be, would constitute a breach
or default thereof, would result in a violation of the rights of
any such third party, would be ineffective, or would in any way
adversely affect the rights of PKI or Buyer thereunder. If such
consent (a “ Deferred Consent ”) is not
obtained, then (a) the asset, agreement, lease, authorization,
license or permit to which such Deferred Consent relates (a “
Deferred Item ”) shall be withheld from sale pursuant
to this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price,
(b) from and after the Closing, the Sellers and Buyer will
cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain such Deferred
Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing, provided that
(i) no Party shall be required to make any material payments
or agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith and
(ii) if the Parties agree to make any payments (whether or not
material) to a third party to obtain a
- 22 -
Deferred
Consent, all such payments that are made shall be paid one half
(1/2) by the Buyer and one half (1/2) by PKI, and (c) until
such Deferred Consent is obtained, the Sellers and the Buyer shall
cooperate, in all reasonable respects, in any lawful and
commercially reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by the
Buyer under which (i) the Buyer would obtain (without
infringing upon the legal rights of any third party) the economic
claims, rights and benefits (net of the amount of any related Tax
costs and any other liabilities or obligations imposed on the
Sellers or any of their Affiliates under the Deferred Item) and
(ii) the Buyer would assume any related economic burden
(including the amount of any related Tax costs and any other
liabilities or obligations imposed on the Sellers or any of their
Affiliates) with respect to the Deferred Item.
1.6 Further
Assurances . At any time and from time to time after the
Closing Date, as and when reasonably requested by any Party hereto
and at such Party’s expense (it being understood that such
Party shall be required to reimburse only out-of-pocket expenses
paid to third parties, and not internal costs), the other Party
shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and
shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions
as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

Seller has paid (or had paid on its behalf) all Taxes (as defined

Returns filed with respect to PKI Indonesia for all taxable periods
for which the statute of limitations is still open, and indicates
those Tax Returns that have been audited and those that are

income Tax Returns of PKI Indonesia with respect to all taxable
periods for which the statute of limitations is still open, and
(ii) copies of all examination reports and statements of
deficiencies that have been assessed against or agreed to by PKI
Indonesia for any past taxable period for which the statute of

Date, exceed such reserve and accruals as adjusted through the
Closing Date in accordance with GAAP in the ordinary course of
business.

(i) the
Lease is a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the
applicable Asset Seller or PKI Indonesia (as the case may be) and,
to Sellers’ knowledge, each other party to such Lease, except
as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and
by equitable principles, including those limiting the availability
of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable
remedies and those providing for equitable defenses;

Asset Seller or PKI Indonesia or, to Sellers’ knowledge, any
other party to the Lease is in breach or default and, to
Sellers’ knowledge, no event has occurred which, with notice

permit termination, modification or acceleration thereunder, except
for any such breach or default as would not reasonably be expected
to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect; and
