Net Working Capital Adjustment (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) calculating the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) as well as the adjustments to Transaction Consideration which shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.6, together with all underlying documentation supporting such calculations. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its preparation of the Closing Statement.
Net Working Capital At least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a certificate (the “Estimated NWC Certificate”), including a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with the accounting principles, methods, practices, estimates, judgments and assumptions applied in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, consistently applied (the “Accounting Principles”), which shall include (a) the Sellers’ good faith estimate (such estimate is referred to as the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”) of the “Net Working Capital Amount.” As used herein, “Net Working Capital Amount” means the Net Working Capital of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. EST on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. “Net Working Capital” means the result of (i) all cash of the Company minus (ii) all current liabilities (excluding the Existing Indebtedness) of the Company, in each case determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Purchase Price at Closing shall be increased by the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company dated at the Closing Date, which shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and (ii) a reasonably detailed statement (the “Final NWC Certificate”) setting forth Buyer’s calculations of the Net Working Capital Amount. If Sellers have any objections to the Final NWC Certificate, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), provided that the only bases for objections shall be (i) non-compliance with the standards set forth above for preparation of the Final NWC Certificate, or as set forth in the definition of Net Working Capital, and (ii) mathematical errors. If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Final NWC Certificate, the Final NWC Certificate shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Sellers and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any objections set forth in the Objections Statement (and all such discussions related thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Sellers, be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (and any applicable similar state rule)), but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, Sellers and Buyer may submit such dispute to one of the “Big Four” accounting firms other than Ernst & Young LLP or PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or, in the event that any such auditor is unable to accept such appointment, to any other nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers (the “Independent Auditor”). Each party shall be afforded an opportunity to present to the Independent Auditor material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the determination with the Independent Auditor. The Independent Auditor shall act as an auditor and not as an arbitrator and shall resolve matters in dispute and adjust and establish any disputed adjustment of the Net Working Capital Amount to reflect such resolution, provided that the Independent Auditor shall not assign a value to any item or amount in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item or amount assigned by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item or amount assigned by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand. It is the intent of Buyer and Sellers that the process set forth in this Section 11(F) and the activities of the Independent Auditor in connection herewith are not intended to be and, in fact, are not arbitration and that no formal arbitration rules shall be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). Sellers and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to resolve all such disagreements as promptly as practicable. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Auditor shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto. The Final NWC Certificate shall be modified if necessary to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be allocated for payment by Buyer, on the one hand, and/or Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Auditor. If the Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures described above is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shown on the Estimated NWC Certificate, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers cash equal to the amount by which the Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. If the Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures described above is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shown on the Estimated NWC Certificate, then Sellers shall pay to Buyer cash equal to the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Net Working Capital Amount.
Working Capital Adjustment (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, the Purchase Price will be adjusted on a dollar for dollar basis following the Closing to the extent that the Working Capital of the Business as of the Closing (the "Final Working Capital") is greater or less than the Minimum Working Capital. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than forty five (45) days after the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement of the Working Capital, reflecting each of the components of Working Capital as if set forth on a balance sheet, of the Business as of Closing Date which shall have been examined and reported on by Company's Auditor (the "Closing Working Capital Statement"). The report of Company's Auditor shall be made to the Company and Buyer and shall state that the Closing Working Capital Statement (i) has been prepared in conformity with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) was prepared in conformity with GAAP (except as otherwise provided herein), and applied on a consistent basis with those policies used by the Company ("Company Policies") in connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000, and (iii) presents fairly, in all material respects, the Working Capital of the Business at the Closing Date, and that the audit by Company's Auditor was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Company and in conformity with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis with Company Policies, except that (i) accounts receivable shall reflect only trade accounts receivable of the Business, (ii) accounts payable shall reflect only trade accounts payable of the Business and a payable to Pepsi-Cola and National Brand Beverages, Ltd. of $2,000,000 and shall exclude any accounts payable if including such accounts payable would result in the aggregate accounts payable exceeding the aggregate accounts receivable, (iii) the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable shall be zero, (iv) the value of Inventory shall be adjusted in accordance with the Company's year end adjustment procedures and (v) Retained Assets and Retained Liabilities shall be excluded. Promptly after the Closing, but in no event later than October 22, 2000, Buyer and the Company shall cooperate to permit the Company's Auditor to perform a physical count and inspection of the Inventory for purposes of preparing the Closing Working Capital Statement. The timing of such physical count and inspection shall be coordinated with Buyer and Buyer's Auditor so as to minimize disruption to Buyer's business and to allow Buyer's Auditor to be present at such physical count and inspection. For purposes of this Agreement, the Inventory to be stated on the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be the Inventory at the time of such physical count and inspection as adjusted in accordance with the books and records of the Company to the effective time of the Closing. The Company shall permit Buyer and Buyer's Auditor to review all work papers and computations used by the Company and Company's Auditor in preparing the Closing Working Capital Statement. After the Closing Date, until agreement is reached as to the Closing Working Capital Statement, for purposes of this Section 2.6, Buyer shall permit the Company and Company's Auditor full and free access, at all reasonable times, to the deeds, documents and contracts and books of account, records, files, invoices and other data associated with, necessary to or used in the Business as conducted on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company shall coordinate such access with Buyer in order to minimize disruption to the conduct of Buyer's business. Buyer shall within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement advise the Company in writing of the amounts and descriptions of adjustments relating to Working Capital, if any, which Buyer believes are necessary to be made to the Closing Working Capital Statement. In the event that Buyer and the Company are unable to resolve any differences with respect to the Working Capital reflected on the Closing Working Capital Statement within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement by Buyer, then the issues remaining unresolved shall be determined as follows: Buyer and the Company shall jointly select and retain an independent firm of certified public accountants of national standing and reputation in the United States (the "Independent Firm") for the purpose of resolving within the ranges proposed by Buyer and the Company all remaining unresolved issues with respect to the Working Capital. If Buyer and the Company are not able to agree upon the Independent Firm within seventy-five (75) days after receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement by Buyer, then the Independent Firm shall be selected by lot after Buyer has eliminated two (2) of the three (3) independent firms of public accountants of national standing and reputation in the United States selected by the Company and the Company has eliminated two (2) of the three (3) such firms selected by Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer's Auditor shall not be one of the three independent firms selected by Buyer and Company's Auditor shall not be one of the three independent firms selected by the Company.
Working Capital Upon consummation of the Offering, it is intended that approximately $1,000,000 of the Offering proceeds will be released to the Company and held outside of the Trust Account to fund the working capital requirements of the Company.
Capital Adjustments (a) The existence of the Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Corporation's capital structure or the Corporation’s business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred stock having a preference to or affecting the Corporation’s capital stock or the rights thereof, or the issuance of any securities convertible into any such capital stock or of any rights, options, or warrants to purchase any such capital stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets or business, or any other act or proceeding of the Corporation, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
Determination of Net Asset Value, Net Income and Distributions Subject to applicable federal law including the 1940 Act and Section 3.6 hereof, the Trustees, in their sole discretion, may prescribe (and delegate to any officer of the Trust or any other Person or Persons the right and obligation to prescribe) such bases and time (including any methodology or plan) for determining the per Share or net asset value of the Shares of the Trust or any Series or Class or net income attributable to the Shares of the Trust or any Series or Class, or the declaration and payment of dividends and distributions on the Shares of the Trust or any Series or Class and the method of determining the Shareholders to whom dividends and distributions are payable, as they may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to applicable federal law including the 1940 Act, any dividend or distribution may be paid in cash and/or securities or other property, and the composition of any such distribution shall be determined by the Trustees (or by any officer of the Trust or any other Person or Persons to whom such authority has been delegated by the Trustees) and may be different among Shareholders including differences among Shareholders of the same Series or Class.
Adjustment Amount (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within 90 calendar days thereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller, Buyer’s calculation of (i) Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Cash, (v) Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and (vi) on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Closing Purchase Price (together with the calculations referred to in clauses (i) through (v) above, the “Final Closing Statement”). The Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Cash shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and the defined terms used in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, that the Final Closing Statement (and any amounts included therein) shall not give effect to any act or omission by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company taken after the Reference Time or reflect any payments of cash in respect of the Purchase Price, or any financing transactions in connection therewith or reflect any expense or liability for which Buyer is responsible under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Section 2.04 nor this Section 2.06 is intended to be used to adjust the Closing Purchase Price for errors or omissions, under GAAP or otherwise, that may be found with respect to the Financial Statements or the Target Net Working Capital. No fact or event, including any market or business development, occurring after the Closing Date, and no change in GAAP or Applicable Law after the Balance Sheet Date, shall be taken into consideration in the calculations to be made pursuant to Section 2.04 or this Section 2.06. If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Final Closing Statement in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.06(a) within such 90-day period, then the Preliminary Closing Statement delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be Buyer’s proposed Final Closing Statement, for all purposes hereunder, and Seller shall retain all of its rights under this Section 2.06 with respect thereto, including the right to dispute the calculations set forth therein in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06.

If so directed, U.S. Trust shall also calculate daily the net income of the Fund
