Related to Working Capital Adjustment Accounts Receivable

• Working Capital Adjustment (a) Within 15 days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will prepare or cause to be prepared a combined balance sheet of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet") showing the amount of Closing Date Working Capital, along with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculating Closing Date Working Capital, which shall be in accordance with GAAP and consistent with the methodology used in Target Financial Statements (as defined in Section 2.5 below), and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Shareholders such Closing Date Balance Sheet. In the event that the Shareholders object to the Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital, then, within 30 days after the delivery to the Shareholders of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Shareholders shall deliver to the Purchaser a notice describing in reasonable detail the Shareholders' objection to the Purchaser's calculation (an "Objection Notice"), accompanied by a statement setting forth the dollar amount determined by the Shareholders to represent the Closing Date Working Capital or a request for additional information from the Purchaser that the Shareholders may require in order to determine the Closing Date Working Capital. If the Shareholders do not deliver an Objection Notice to the Purchaser within the 30-day period referred to in the preceding sentence, then the Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital shall be binding and conclusive on the Purchaser and the Shareholders. If the Shareholders deliver an Objection Notice to the Purchaser within the 30-day period referred to in this paragraph, and if the Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to agree upon the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital within 15 days after an Objection Notice is delivered to the Purchaser, the Shareholders and the Purchaser shall select a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to them (the "Neutral Accountant") to resolve any remaining objections, the cost of which shall be paid by the party whose assertions regarding the amount of the Closing Date Working Capital differ by the greater amount from the Closing Date Working Capital determined by the Neutral Accountant. If Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to select the Neutral Accountant within 10 days after the commencement of such selection process, the Neutral Accountant shall be KPMG (or its successor). The Shareholders and the Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Neutral Accountant to resolve any unresolved objections within 30 days after referral of the matter to them, and the determination by the Neutral Accountant of the Closing Date Working Capital, shall be conclusive and binding on the Purchaser and Shareholders absent fraud or manifest error. During the 30-day period following the Objection Notice, Shareholders and Purchaser shall each have access to the other party's working papers and similar materials prepared in connection with the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Objection Notice, as the case may be.

• 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.

• Accounts Receivable All accounts receivable of the Company that are reflected on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Company as of the Closing Date (collectively, the "Accounts Receivable") represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the Ordinary Course of Business. Unless paid prior to the Closing Date, the Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date current and collectible net of the respective reserves shown on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Company as of the Closing Date (which reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice and, in the case of the reserve as of the Closing Date, will not represent a greater percentage of the Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date than the reserve reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet represented of the Accounts Receivable reflected therein and will not represent a material adverse change in the composition of such Accounts Receivable in terms of aging). Subject to such reserves, each of the Accounts Receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any set-off, within ninety days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable. There is no contest, claim, or right of set-off, other than returns in the Ordinary Course of Business, under any Contract with any obligor of an Accounts Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Accounts Receivable. Part 3.8 of the Disclosure Letter contains a complete and accurate list of all Accounts Receivable as of the date of the Interim Balance Sheet, which list sets forth the aging of such Accounts Receivable.

• Inventory Adjustment (a) No more than three (3) days prior to Closing, a physical count of all saleable inventory, raw materials, castings, grates and other ancillary products included in the Seller Assets (the “Closing Inventory”) shall be carried out at the Designated Plants by representatives of each of the Seller and the Purchaser, which physical count shall be carried out in a manner mutually agreed upon by the parties. For the purposes of this Section 3.1(a), “saleable” inventory shall mean (i) finished goods, which are of first quality and saleable in the ordinary course without discount, and (ii) all raw materials, castings, grates and other ancillary products that are useable in the production of pipe and precast products or otherwise suitable for resale, unless obsolete, damaged or cosmetically impaired. The representatives of each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve any disputes which may arise during the physical count of the inventory. Upon completion of the physical count of the inventory, the representatives of each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall agree upon and execute a statement setting forth either (i) the final physical count of the inventory in the event that the representatives agree on such final physical count or (ii) the final physical count of the inventory of each of the Seller and the Purchaser in the event that the representatives were unable to resolve in good faith any disputes during the physical inventory count, noting such items of dispute (the “Disputed Seller Inventory Items”) therein. The value of Closing Inventory shall be determined in accordance with the Inventory Methodology. In the event that there are any Disputed Seller Inventory Items, such Disputed Seller Inventory Items shall be resolved following the Closing pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 3.2 and the final physical count agreed to by the parties or resolved pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be final and binding on the parties, including for purposes of determining the Closing Inventory. (b) No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a certificate executed by the
