Section 2.5 Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital. Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser at the Closing a good faith estimate of Closing Date Net Working Capital (“Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”), determined in accordance with the Net Working Capital Principles as if it were the actual Closing Date Net Working Capital, but based upon Company’s review of financial information then available and inquiries of personnel responsible for the preparation of the financial information relating to Company in the ordinary course of business. The Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be subject to the approval of Purchaser, which cannot be unreasonably withheld. At the Closing, the amount by which Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than or more than Target Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment”) will be reduced or increased dollar-for-dollar from the Initial Company Purchase Price in determining the Closing Company Consideration as set forth in Section 2.4(a) above.

(b) Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement; Settlement. No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Company will prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement”) showing, in reasonable detail, a calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date. The Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Net Working Capital Principles. The Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with this Section 2.5(b), is referred to herein as “Closing Date Net Working Capital.” In the event Company does not deliver a Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement to Purchaser within ninety (90) days following the Closing

Date, Purchaser may prepare and deliver a Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement to Company.

(i) If Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Net Working Capital Excess”), then promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the final determination of Closing Date Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i), Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Company in cash by wire transfer an aggregate amount equal to the Net Working Capital Excess.

(ii) If Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (such shortfall, the “Net Working Capital Shortfall”), then Company shall pay to Purchaser in cash by wire transfer the Net Working Capital Shortfall promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the final determination of Closing Date Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(ii); provided, however, that Purchaser, at its option, may seek to set off such amounts against the Escrow Funds.

(iii) In the event Purchaser objects to the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital provided by Company (or, if Purchaser delivers a Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement to Company as provided in the Section 2.5(b), in the event Purchaser, or Seller as the case may be, objects to the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital), the party receiving the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement (the “Receiving Party”) will give written notice (an “Objection Notice”) to the other party of any objections the Receiving Party has to the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement within thirty (30) days after receipt. Such notice will set forth a reasonable basis for such objections. If the Receiving Party does not deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then the Closing Date Statement shall be deemed to be conclusive, final and binding on the parties. Company and Purchaser will endeavor in good faith to resolve any objections as soon as practicable (and within thirty (30) days) after the receipt of the Objection Notice. If such objections or disputes have not been resolved at the end of such additional thirty (30) day period, the disputed portion of the items contained in the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement will be determined within the following thirty (30) days by an accounting firm that the Parties shall appoint by mutual agreement (the “Arbitrator”), which shall be the exclusive means for resolution of such dispute. Each party will provide the Arbitrator with the work papers generated in connection with its review of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement. Upon the mutual agreement of the parties, or the decision of the Arbitrator, the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, as adjusted for matters agreed to by the parties or as determined by the Arbitrator, shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Company, on one hand, and Purchaser on the other, will bear equally the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator incurred in connection with such determination.

(c) Additional Inventory Purchase Price. Purchaser shall pay to Company as an adjustment to the Initial Company Purchase Price, the Net Profit attributable to the Purchaser’s Inventory (“Additional Inventory Purchase Price”). The Additional Inventory Purchase Price shall be calculated and paid at the same time the Net Working Capital Adjustment is paid.

Section 2.6 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxx LLP, The Omaha Building, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, XX 00000, or at such place as the parties shall mutually agree, on January 25, 2016.

(b) Purchaser shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge the obligations of Company which accrue after the Effective Time with respect to the following (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”): (i) all obligations of Company under the Assumed Contracts that (A) arise after the Effective Time, (B) do not arise from any breach by Company of any such Assumed Contract, (C) are not required to be performed on or prior to the Effective Time, and (D) do not arise from or relate to any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing that, with or without notice or lapse of time, would constitute or result in a breach of such Assigned Contract, but only to the extent the contracting party under an Assumed Contract elects to treat such event, circumstance or condition as a breach of such Assigned Contract; (ii) the Current Liabilities; and (iii) any Liability of Company described on Schedule 2.7(b), provided that after the Closing, Company shall cooperate fully with Purchaser in its efforts to defend against and otherwise mitigate the extent of any such Liabilities, including taking any actions, executing any and all such documents, at Purchaser’s expense, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection therewith.

(c) This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if such assignment, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention of such Asset or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser or Company thereunder. Company and Purchaser will use their commercially reasonable efforts (but without any payment of money by Purchaser or Company) to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Purchaser as Purchaser may request. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Company thereunder so that Purchaser would not in

fact receive all such rights, Company and Purchaser will cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Purchaser would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Purchaser, or under which Company would enforce for the benefit of Purchaser, with Purchaser assuming Company’s obligations, and indemnifying and hold harmless Company from any liability in connection with such action, any and all rights of Company against a third party thereto. In the case of any Contract to which the previous sentence refers, Purchaser shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to require Company to terminate such Contract but only if the terms thereof permit such termination in which case Company shall (or shall cause its subsidiaries to) terminate such Contract to the extent the terms thereof permit such termination. Company will promptly pay to Purchaser when received all monies received by Company under any Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder, in each case pertaining to post-Closing periods, except to the extent the same represents an Excluded Asset.

(d) Company acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Effective Time Purchaser shall have the right to enforce all rights and remedies of Company or the other Sellers under the Assumed Contracts including all obligations of third parties under confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, work-for-hire, assignment of invention, non-compete and non-solicitation and similar agreements.

(e) Allocation. The aggregate purchase price for the Assets and the non-competition and non-solicitation agreements described in Section 5.11, shall be allocated by Purchaser and Sellers, as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto, as required by Section 1060 of the Code. Purchaser and Sellers shall file Form 8594, Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060, with their respective income tax returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date. Purchaser and Company agree to satisfy any and all reporting requirements of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder. Purchaser and Sellers shall file Form 8594 in a manner consistent with the allocation of the purchase price set forth on Exhibit D. If, in subsequent taxable years, Purchaser or Company make an allocation of any increase or decrease in the purchase price for any asset, the party making such increase or decrease agrees to file a supplemental Form 8594 as required.

(f) The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, as of the Closing Date, any and all Contracts between Sellers or any of their Affiliates and Purchaser and any of its Affiliates that are in effect as of the Effective Date (other than this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents), shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect except for those provisions which expressly survive termination. All records and data in the possession or control of Sellers pertaining to the products and services provided pursuant to such Contracts shall be transferred to Purchaser as part of the Company Assets.

Section 2.8 Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Company Purchase Price and Additional Company Purchase Price, and any other payment to any Seller under this Agreement, all Taxes that Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold under

applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser, all such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to Company hereunder.

Section 2.9 Other Taxes. Each party shall pay its own stamp, sales, use, employment, property, ad valorem, income, realty transfer, franchise, net worth, intangible, excise, license or other taxes, additions to tax, penalties and interest, whether federal, state, local, foreign or other, in respect of any and all transfers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, for which it is primarily responsible by law (and, in cases where the parties are equally and jointly responsible by law, such amounts shall be borne 50% by Sellers and 50% by Purchaser). All property and ad valorem taxes, leasehold rentals and other customarily pro-ratable items relating to the Assets, payable on or after the Effective Time and relating to a period of time both prior to and on or after the Effective Time will be prorated as of the Effective Time between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. If the actual amount of any such item is not known as of the Closing Date, the aforesaid proration shall be based on the previous year’s assessment of such item and the parties agree to adjust said proration and pay any underpayment or reimburse any overpayment within thirty (30) days after the actual amount becomes known. All costs and all real estate taxes incident to the transfer of the Owned Real Property shall be allocated in accordance with customary practices in Omaha, Nebraska.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the limitations or exceptions set forth in this Article 10, including any periods of survival with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, shall in any way limit or modify the ability of Purchaser to make claims under or recover under the R&W Policy, and Purchaser shall not be required to make claims under or recover under the R&W Policy prior to making claims against Sellers under this Article 10.

(b) In the event any Dispute is not resolved informally as provided for in subsection (a) above, the parties agree such Dispute shall be submitted to JAMS (“JAMS”), or its successor, for mediation, as hereinafter provided. Either party may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from the JAMS panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith and that they will share equally in its costs.

All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.

(c) Either party may initiate litigation with respect to the matters submitted to mediation at any time following the initial mediation session or at any time following 45 days from the date of filing the written request for mediation (“Earliest Initiation Date”). At no time prior to the Earliest Initiation Date shall either side initiate litigation related to this Agreement except to pursue an equitable or provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by agreement of the parties, however this limitation is inapplicable to a party if the other party refuses to comply with the requirements of subsection (b). The mediation may continue after the commencement of litigation if the parties so desire. All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled until 15 days after the Earliest Initiation Date. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.
