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.

          (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.

- 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.
