2

Section 2.5    Inventory Purchase Price.

(a)    The Parties shall cause the Company to prepare, at the direction of LG, an estimate and notify Logistics in writing, not less than five Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date, of the market value of the Purchased Inventory, which will be determined in accordance with Appendix B (such market value, the “Inventory Purchase Price”).

(b)    Within 45 days after the Closing Date, Logistics shall prepare and deliver to the Company a statement (the “Closing Inventory Statement”) setting forth the market value of the Purchased Inventory as of the Inventory Transfer Timing (the “Closing Inventory”), as determined in accordance with Appendix B. During the 30-day period following the Company’s receipt of the Closing Inventory Statement, LG, the

3


Company and their respective advisors shall be permitted to review the working papers of Logistics and its advisors relating to the Closing Inventory Statement.

(c)    The Closing Inventory Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the date that is 30 days after Logistics’ delivery thereof. If a Notice of Disagreement with respect to the Closing Inventory Statement is received by Logistics prior to such date, then the Closing Inventory Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of (A) the date Logistics and the Company resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the 30-day period following the delivery of the Notice of Disagreement, Logistics shall, and LG shall cause the Company to, seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. During such period, Logistics and its advisors shall have access to the working papers of the Company and its advisors prepared in connection with the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 30-day period, Logistics shall, and LG shall cause the Company to, submit to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for resolution any and all matters that remain in dispute, in the form of a written brief prepared by each party. Logistics shall, and LG shall cause the Company to, jointly instruct the Accounting Firm that it (1) shall review only the matters that were included in the Notice of Disagreement and that remain unresolved, (2) shall make its determination in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.5(c) and (3) shall render its decision within 30 days from the submission to it of the matters that remain unresolved. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party or parties against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) shall be borne in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of unresolved disputed items so submitted to the Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by Logistics, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, as finally determined by the Accounting Firm, bears to the total dollar amount of such unresolved disputed items so submitted. The fees, costs and expenses of Logistics incurred in connection with its preparation of the Closing Inventory Statement, its review of any Notice of Disagreement, if any, and its preparation of its written brief submitted to the Accounting Firm, if any, shall be borne by Logistics, and the fees, costs and expenses of the Company incurred in connection with its review of the Closing Inventory Statement, its preparation of the Notice of Disagreement, if any, and its preparation of its written brief submitted to the Accounting Firm, if any, shall be borne by the Company. The date on which the Closing Inventory Statement becomes final and binding on the Parties pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) shall be referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(d)    In the event that the Closing Inventory as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5 is greater than the Inventory Purchase Price, then Logistics shall, within five Business Days after the Determination Date, make payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company of the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by Citibank, N.A., as its prime rate, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365, from the Closing Date to the date of payment. In the event that the Closing Inventory as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5 is less than the Inventory Purchase Price, then LG shall cause the Company to, within five Business Days after the Determination Date, make payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Logistics of the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by Citibank, N.A., as its prime rate, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365, from the Closing Date to the date of payment.
