3.4.4 Earn-Out Objection.

(m) If Sellers’ Representatives have any objections to the calculations set forth in the Earn-Out Statement, then, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Earn-Out Statement, Sellers’ Representatives jointly shall deliver to Parent a single written statement (an “Earn-Out Objections Statement”) setting forth their objections thereto in reasonable detail and the basis therefor; provided, however, that such fifteen (15)-day period shall be tolled for any period during which Parent, Partnership, EOP or EOC shall fail to make available to Sellers’ Representatives all books, records, documents and work papers requested by Sellers’ Representatives pursuant to Section 3.4.4(b), which are required to be made available to Sellers’ Representatives under Section 3.4.4(b) (except where providing reasonable access to books, records documents and work papers pursuant to Section 3.4.4(b) cannot be done in a manner that is not unreasonably disruptive to the Business). Each Earn-Out Objections Statement shall (i) include a copy of Parent’s calculations marked to indicate those specific line items that are in dispute, and (ii) be accompanied by Sellers’ Representatives’ calculations of each of the disputed line items and Sellers’ Representatives’ revised calculations setting forth its determination of the EOP Earn-Out Payment or the EOC Earn-Out Payment, as applicable, together with a detailed description of the basis for any such disagreement. All such line items that are not disputed shall be final, binding and non-appealable for all purposes hereunder. If an Earn-Out Objections Statement is not delivered to Parent within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Earn-Out Statement, the Earn-Out Statement shall be final and binding on and non-appealable by, the Parties; provided, however, that such fifteen (15) day period shall be tolled for any period during which Parent, Partnership, EOP or EOC shall fail to make available to Sellers’ Representatives all books, records, documents and work papers requested by Sellers’ Representatives pursuant to Section 3.4.4(b), which are required to be made available to Sellers’ Representative under Section 3.4.4(b) (except where providing reasonable access to books, records documents and work papers pursuant to Section 3.4.4(b) cannot be done in a manner that is not unreasonably disruptive to the Business). If an Earn-Out Objections Statement is delivered to Parent within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Earn-Out Statement (or such later date as a result of any tolling of such fifteen (15)-day period), then Sellers’ Representatives and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Earn-Out Objections Statement (such period, the “Earn-Out Review Period”), then Sellers’ Representatives and Parent shall submit any outstanding disputes to the Independent Accounting Firm for final, binding and non-appealable resolution.

(n) Sellers’ Representatives and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the dispute is first submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. Within ten (10) Business Days following

 

8


the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, Sellers’ Representatives and Parent shall each submit in writing to the Independent Accounting Firm and to the other Party simultaneously its calculations of the unresolved disputed items in the Earn-Out Objections Statement together with such work papers, calculations and other materials that such Party has determined supports such Party’s calculation (the “Initial Materials”). Each of Sellers’ Representatives and Parent shall thereafter be entitled to submit a rebuttal to the other Party’s submission (together with the Initial Materials, the “Determination Materials”), which rebuttals shall be delivered to the Independent Accounting Firm and to the other Party simultaneously within five (5) days following the delivery of the Parties’ initial submissions to the Independent Accounting Firm and to each other. The Independent Accounting Firm may request additional information from Sellers’ Representatives and Parent. The Independent Accounting Firm shall base its determination of the disputed amounts solely on the Determination Materials and any other information requested by the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall only consider those line items and amounts in the Earn-Out Statement to which Sellers’ Representatives have timely objected pursuant to this Section 3.4.4 and which Parent and Sellers’ Representatives have been unable to resolve. In resolving each disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm shall not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value or less than the smallest value for such item assigned to it by Parent or Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and non-appealable on and by the Parties. If the Independent Accounting Firm resolves all disputes presented to it entirely in the manner proposed by Parent or Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm relating to the resolution of such dispute shall be paid by the other Party. In all other events, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be shared based on the difference between Sellers’ Representatives’ position, on the one hand, and Parent’s position, on the other hand, initially presented to the Independent Accounting Firm (based on the aggregate of all differences taken as a whole) and the final resolution as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm in proportion to the total difference between Sellers’ Representative’s and Parent’s initial positions.

(o) The statement setting forth the final, binding and non-appealable EOP Earn-Out Payments and EOC Earn-Out Payments, as determined in accordance with this Section 3.4.4, shall be known as the “Final Earn-Out Statement.”
