Schedule 8.6), less Accounts Payable, accrued bonus payments, and any
deferred revenue determined by Seller in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a basis consistent
with past practices as set forth on the Working Capital schedule
attached to this agreement as Exhibit C (the "Estimated Working Capital
Schedule").

(the "Estimated Working Capital"), which shall be certified by the
chief financial officer of Seller. Buyer shall be entitled to inspect
all work papers, schedules and other supporting materials relating to
the preparation of the Estimated Working Capital Schedule and to
consult with Seller and its representatives regarding the methods used
to calculate the Estimated Working Capital Schedule.
(c) If the Estimated Working Capital is less than -$5,000, at
the Closing, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the
Estimated Working Capital and $0.0 shall be deducted from the Common
Stock issuable to Seller at the Closing, from the first dollar below
$0.0, at a value per share of $1.50. If the Estimated Working Capital
is less than -$25,000, the amount below -$25,000 shall be contributed
to Newco by Seller in cash as a condition to the Closing.
8.6 WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT.
(a) On a date no later than 60 days after the Closing Date (the
"Calculation Date"), Buyer, with reasonable, good-faith assistance from
Seller, shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the "Actual
Working Capital Schedule") setting forth Buyer's good-faith
determination of the actual Working Capital at Closing (the "Actual
Working Capital"), which shall be certified by the chief financial
officer of Buyer. Seller shall be entitled to inspect all work papers,
schedules and other supporting materials relating to the preparation of
the Actual Working Capital Schedule and to consult with Buyer regarding
the methods used to calculate the Actual Working Capital.
-14-
(b) The Actual Working Capital Schedule shall become final and
binding upon Seller and Buyer unless Seller notifies Buyer of a
disagreement with respect to any matter contained therein (a "Notice of
Disagreement") within 30 days after the receipt thereof. A Notice of
Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any
disagreement so asserted. For a period of 30 days after the delivery of
the Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good
faith to resolve in writing all of their differences with respect to
each matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement, in which case such
resolution shall be final and binding upon the parties.
(c) If, at the end of such 30-day period, Seller and Buyer have
not resolved in writing all of their differences with respect to any
such matter, then each unresolved matter (a "Disputed Matter") shall be
submitted to and reviewed by an independent certified public accounting
firm (the "Accounting Arbitrator"). The Accounting Arbitrator shall
consider only the Disputed Matters and shall act promptly to resolve in
writing all Disputed Matters. The determinations of the Accounting
Arbitrator with respect to the Disputed Matters shall be final and
binding upon Seller and Buyer. Judgment upon the Accounting
Arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.
(d) Seller shall be responsible for and pay (1) all of its
expenses incurred in preparing the Estimated Working Capital Schedule,
assisting in the preparation of and reviewing the Actual Working
Capital Schedule, and resolving any Disputed Matter, and (2) 50% of the
fees and expenses of any Accounting Arbitrator incurred in resolving
any Disputed Matter. Buyer shall be responsible for and pay (1) all of
its expenses incurred in reviewing the Estimated Working Capital
Schedule, preparing the Actual Working Capital Schedule, and resolving
any Disputed Matter, and (2) 50% of the fees and expenses of any
Accounting Arbitrator incurred in resolving any Disputed Matter.
(e) Within 10 days after the final determination of the Actual
Working Capital, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the
Estimated Working Capital as shown on the Estimated Working Capital
Schedule and the Actual Working Capital shall be paid by Buyer to
Seller if the Actual Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working
Capital or by Seller to Newco if the Estimated Working Capital exceeds
the Actual Working Capital; provided, such amount shall be adjusted for
any amounts paid by either Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 8.5(c).
Any payments by Seller to bring the level of Working Capital to at
least -$25,000 shall be paid in cash. Any payments by Seller to raise
the level of Working Capital between -$25,000 and $0.0 shall be payable
in Buyer's Common Stock at a value of $1.50 per share. Any payments by
Buyer shall be in Common Stock or cash based on the thresholds shown
above.
