(ii) Within 90 days following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Securityholders’ Agent a statement (the “ Post-Closing Statement ”) of Closing Working Capital (the “ Closing Working Capital Statement ”), the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Cash (recalculated as of immediately prior to the Closing) and the Unpaid Transaction Expenses (collectively, the “ Adjustment Items ”). The Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in the same manner as the Estimated Closing Working Capital and in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting principles and procedures that were used in the preparation of the 2015 Audited Financial Statements as if such accounts were being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end.

(iii) Acceptance of Statements; Dispute Procedures . The Post-Closing Statement (and the computation of Adjustment Items indicated thereon) delivered by Parent to the Securityholders’ Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless the Securityholders’ Agent, within 45 days after delivery to the Securityholders’ Agent of the Post-Closing Statement, provides written notice to Parent that the Securityholders’ Agent disputes any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefor in reasonable detail. The parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute and, if the parties so resolve all disputes, the Post-Closing Statement (and the computation of Adjustment Items indicated thereon), as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties do not reach agreement in resolving the dispute within 20 days after written notice is given by the Securityholders’ Agent to Parent pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the parties shall submit the dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent (such firm being referred to herein as the “ Accountant ”) for resolution. Promptly, but no later than 30 days after acceptance of the appointment as Accountant, the Accountant shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of the Adjustment Items which shall be conclusive and binding on the parties and no party shall seek recourse to any Governmental Body other than to enforce the determination of the Accountant. Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall each furnish to the Accountant and such other party such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed items and amounts and answer questions, as the Accountant may reasonably request. In resolving any disputed item, the Accountant (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.9(b)(iii) and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Parent and the Effective Time Holders based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accountant’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total dollar amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accountant. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Effective Time Holders’ position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Parent and 40% of the costs

would be borne by the Effective Time Holders. Following the Closing, Parent shall provide the Securityholders’ Agent and its Representatives access to the books and records, properties and Representatives of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement as may be reasonably requested and shall cause such Persons to reasonably cooperate with the Securityholders’ Agent in connection with its review of the Post-Closing Statement.

(iv) Payment . Upon final determination of the Adjustment Items as provided in Section 1.9(b)(iii) above (A) if Closing Working Capital is greater than Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the positive difference between Closing Working Capital and Estimated Closing Working Capital, if the Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount is greater than the actual Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Purchase Price shall be increased by such difference, if the actual Cash is greater than the Estimated Cash, the Purchase Price shall be increased by such difference, and if the Estimated Transaction Expenses are greater than the actual Unpaid Transaction Expenses, the Purchase Price shall be increased by such difference, and (B) if Closing Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the positive difference between Closing Working Capital and Estimated Closing Working Capital, if the Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount is less than the actual Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by such difference, if the actual Cash is less than the Estimated Cash, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by such difference, and if the Estimated Transaction Expenses are less than the actual Unpaid Transaction Expenses, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by such difference. To the extent the aggregate increases in clause (A) of this Section 1.9(b)(iv) exceed the decreases in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section 1.9(b)(iv) (the “Final Closing Adjustment Excess ”), Parent shall promptly, but no later than 10 Business Days after such final determination, pay, or cause to be paid, the Final Closing Adjustment Excess to the Effective Time Holders in accordance with their respective Payout Percentages. To the extent the decreases in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section 1.9(b)(iv) exceed the increases in clause (A) of this Section 1.9(b)(iv) (the “ Final Closing Adjustment Shortfall ”), Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall promptly, but no later than 10 Business Days after such final determination, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent the Final Closing Adjustment Shortfall from the Post-Closing Adjustment Escrow Account and, if the Post-Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount is insufficient to cover such amount, then Parent shall be entitled to (at Parent’s election) either (x) require that the Effective Time Holders pay Parent such shortfall in accordance with their respective Indemnification Percentages or (y) obtain such shortfall from the Indemnity Escrow Account (in which case Securityholders’ Agent and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent the amount of such shortfall). Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay (subject to Section 1.6(b) ) the Effective Time Holders in accordance with their respective Payout Percentages any amounts in the Post-Closing Adjustment Escrow Account that are not required to be paid to Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence.

1.10     Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, from and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.
