| Issue No. | APA Section / Article | Issue Category | Issue Description | Buyer's Position (First Draft) | Seller's Position (Markup) | Buyer's Response (Second Draft) | Status | Priority | Notes / Comments | Action Required | Owner |
| 1 | Article I — Definitions | Definitions — Acquired Assets | Definition of 'Acquired Assets' — scope of assets included in the product line transfer (CleanLeaf and PureHaven brands, ~142 active SKUs) | Broad definition covering all assets used in or related to the CleanLeaf and PureHaven product lines, including inventory, AR ($9.7M), equipment, IP, customer contracts (23), and West Jefferson distribution center (500 Commerce Blvd, West Jefferson, OH 43162) | Narrower definition; Seller proposed excluding certain shared assets, limiting 'related to' language to 'exclusively used in,' and carving out assets also used by the retained Commercial Janitorial Services Division | Accepted 'primarily used in' as compromise language; maintained inclusion of West Jefferson distribution center; agreed to exclude assets exclusively used in the retained Commercial Janitorial Services Division | Compromised | High | Parties agreed to 'primarily used in' standard. Schedule of Acquired Assets to be finalized reflecting this compromise. Seller's initial draft of Disclosure Schedules (delivered September 28, 2022) should capture agreed scope. | Finalize Schedule of Acquired Assets based on agreed 'primarily used in' standard | A. Fitzpatrick / N. Petersen |
| 2 | Article I — Definitions | Definitions — Excluded Assets | Definition of 'Excluded Assets' — carve-outs from the transaction | Limited exclusions: retained Commercial Janitorial Services Division, Briarwood corporate HQ lease (1175 Creekside Drive, Columbus, OH), cash and cash equivalents, tax refunds for pre-closing periods | Seller sought to expand exclusions to include certain shared IT systems, corporate-level insurance policies, and intercompany receivables | Accepted exclusion of corporate-level insurance policies; agreed shared IT systems addressed via Transition Services Agreement (up to 12 months post-closing); rejected exclusion of intercompany receivables to the extent related to the product line | Compromised | Medium | IT systems carve-out resolved via TSA structure. Intercompany receivable issue still requires quantification from Seller. | Seller to provide schedule of intercompany receivables | N. Petersen |
| 3 | Article I — Definitions | Definitions — Assumed Liabilities | Definition of 'Assumed Liabilities' — liabilities buyer assumes at closing | Limited to trade payables related to the product line (~$4,200,000 as of 6/30/22), accrued product warranty obligations ($620,000), and post-closing obligations under assigned contracts | Seller proposed buyer assume additional pre-closing product liability claims and certain employee-related accruals | Rejected assumption of pre-closing product liability claims; accepted assumption of accrued vacation/PTO for the 186 transferring employees as a closing adjustment | Compromised | High | Pre-closing product liability remains with Seller. Accrued PTO to be calculated at closing based on Seller's records. Trade payables and warranty accrual amounts subject to closing adjustment. | Quantify accrued PTO for 186 transferring employees; confirm trade payable and warranty accrual amounts at closing | A. Fitzpatrick |
| 4 | Article II — Purchase Price | Purchase Price — Aggregate Amount | Aggregate purchase price and payment structure | $95,000,000 total: $87,000,000 cash at close + $8,000,000 earnout; implied EV/EBITDA of ~8.48x based on Seller's FY2021 EBITDA of $11,200,000 | No dispute on aggregate amount; Seller accepted $95,000,000 | Maintained; no change | Closed | Low | Purchase price agreed at $95,000,000. Seller did not challenge valuation multiple. | None | N/A |
| 5 | Article II — Purchase Price | Purchase Price — Earnout Structure | Earnout component — revenue threshold and measurement period | $8,000,000 earnout payable if Year 1 post-closing revenue of the acquired product line ≥ $72,000,000; single milestone, all-or-nothing payment | Seller proposed tiered earnout (partial payment at $65M revenue; full payment at $72M); Seller also proposed EBITDA-based alternative metric and buyer covenant to operate business in ordinary course during earnout period | Rejected tiered structure; maintained single $72M revenue threshold; rejected EBITDA metric; accepted reasonable ordinary course covenant with carve-outs for buyer's integration activities | Open | High | Significant gap remains. Seller strongly favors tiered earnout to reduce binary risk. Buyer concerned EBITDA metric is manipulable post-closing. FY2021 product line revenue was $68M, so $72M threshold represents ~5.9% growth. Earnout calculation methodology needs further negotiation. | Schedule call with Seller's counsel to negotiate earnout structure; consider middle-ground proposals | A. Fitzpatrick / S. Tung |
| 6 | Article II — Purchase Price | Purchase Price — Inventory Adjustment Mechanism | Closing inventory adjustment — mechanism to adjust purchase price based on inventory value at closing vs. reference date | Dollar-for-dollar adjustment to purchase price based on difference between closing inventory value and reference date inventory value (6/30/22); inventory to be valued at net realizable value (NRV) per Whitfield Ames LLP methodology | Seller insists inventory be valued at book value per Briarwood's books ($14,300,000 as of 6/30/22); rejects NRV methodology; disputes Whitfield Ames preliminary finding of $11,800,000 NRV ($2,500,000 variance from book value) | Maintained NRV methodology position; proposed joint review process with Seller's auditor (Hargrove & Linton, P.C., engagement partner Daniel Yee) to reconcile valuation; included dispute resolution mechanism (independent accounting firm as arbiter) | Open | High | Core disputed issue. $2,500,000 variance ($14.3M book vs. $11.8M NRV) identified by Whitfield Ames LLP (Susan Clearwater) in preliminary financial diligence memo delivered October 14, 2022. Briarwood disputes methodology (raised October 21, 2022). This issue has stalled deal negotiations. Second draft includes proposed arbitration mechanism but Seller has not responded. | Resolve inventory valuation methodology dispute; propose joint accountant review; escalate to principals if necessary | A. Fitzpatrick / S. Tung |
| 7 | Article II — Purchase Price | Purchase Price — Escrow Holdback | Escrow holdback amount, term, and mechanics | $9,500,000 (10% of purchase price) held in escrow with Atlantic Fiduciary Trust Company (officer: Gregory Fenn) for 24 months post-closing for indemnification claims | Seller proposed reducing escrow to 7.5% ($7,125,000) and shortening hold period to 18 months; proposed partial release at 12 months | Maintained 10% / $9,500,000 and 24-month term; agreed to consider partial release of 50% at 18 months if no pending claims | Compromised | Medium | Escrow amount at 10% is market standard. Partial release concept accepted in principle; specific mechanics to be drafted. Escrow agreement first draft circulated September 15, 2022. | Draft partial release mechanics for escrow agreement; confirm with Atlantic Fiduciary Trust Company | N. Petersen |
| 8 | Article III — Representations and Warranties (Seller) | Indemnification — Cap | Indemnification cap as a percentage of purchase price | 35% of purchase price = $33,250,000 | Seller proposed 20% cap = $19,000,000; argued 35% is above market for an asset deal of this size | Maintained 35% / $33,250,000 position; noted that environmental risk (Phase I ESA findings at Marysville facility) and inventory dispute justify above-market cap; willing to consider R&W insurance to bridge gap | Open | High | Major open item. 15 percentage point gap ($14,250,000 difference). R&W insurance from Sentinel Specialty Insurance Company (underwriter: Mark Ellison) was being explored via Northbridge Risk Advisors LLC (Alison Chu) to help bridge this gap. Preliminary underwriting submission sent October 1, 2022. Policy never bound due to deal stalling. | Consider R&W insurance as bridge; present data on market cap ranges; escalate to principals | S. Tung / A. Fitzpatrick |
| 9 | Article III — Representations and Warranties (Seller) | Indemnification — Basket / Deductible | Indemnification basket type and amount | 1% of purchase price = $950,000; tipping basket (first-dollar recovery once threshold exceeded) | Seller proposed 1.5% deductible basket ($1,425,000); true deductible (buyer absorbs basket amount even after threshold exceeded) | Maintained 1% / $950,000 tipping basket; rejected true deductible structure | Open | Medium | Linked to indemnification cap negotiation. Tipping vs. true deductible is a significant economic distinction. Market data supports tipping basket in asset purchases of this size. | Package with indemnification cap for integrated negotiation | A. Fitzpatrick |
| 10 | Article III — Representations and Warranties (Seller) | Representations — Survival Period | Survival period for general representations and warranties | 24 months from closing; fundamental representations (title, authority, capitalization, tax, environmental) survive indefinitely | Seller proposed 18 months for general reps; 36-month cap for fundamental reps (instead of indefinite survival) | Maintained 24-month general reps survival; maintained indefinite survival for fundamental reps; noted environmental diligence gap (Phase II ESA not commenced for Marysville facility) supports indefinite fundamental rep survival | Open | High | 6-month gap on general reps (24 vs. 18 months). Fundamental rep survival is more contentious — Seller strongly resists indefinite survival. Phase I ESA (Report No. TEG-2022-0441, Terrapoint Environmental Group, Keith Novak) identified recognized environmental condition at Marysville; Phase II never commenced, increasing buyer's need for robust survival period. | Link to environmental diligence discussion; may compromise on fundamental reps if Phase II is completed pre-closing | S. Tung |
| 11 | Article III — Representations and Warranties (Seller) | Representations — Knowledge Qualifiers | Scope of Seller's 'knowledge' qualifier on representations | Knowledge defined as actual knowledge of Malcolm Greer (President) and Janet Tsao (VP of Operations) after reasonable inquiry | Seller proposed limiting knowledge to actual knowledge only (no 'reasonable inquiry' obligation); proposed adding additional knowledge persons (controller, quality manager) without inquiry obligation | Accepted addition of Seller's controller and quality manager as knowledge persons; maintained 'after reasonable inquiry' standard for Malcolm Greer and Janet Tsao; accepted 'actual knowledge' for additional knowledge persons | Compromised | Medium | Reasonable compromise reached. Two-tier knowledge standard: principals have inquiry obligation; other knowledge persons at actual knowledge only. | Confirm identity of controller and quality manager for knowledge definition | N. Petersen |
| 12 | Article III — Representations and Warranties (Seller) | Representations — Inventory | Seller's representation regarding inventory condition and valuation | Seller represents that inventory is merchantable, of saleable quality, and valued at NRV in accordance with GAAP consistently applied | Seller proposed qualifying inventory rep to 'in all material respects'; resists NRV valuation standard in representation; proposes 'book value per Seller's historical accounting practices' | Maintained NRV standard for representation consistent with purchase price adjustment mechanism; accepted 'in all material respects' qualifier for condition/merchantability only | Open | High | Directly tied to the $2,500,000 inventory valuation variance. Seller's resistance to NRV methodology in both the adjustment mechanism (Issue 6) and the representation creates internally inconsistent positions for Seller. Must be resolved in tandem with Issue 6. | Negotiate jointly with inventory adjustment mechanism | A. Fitzpatrick |
| 13 | Article III — Representations and Warranties (Seller) | Representations — Environmental | Seller's environmental representations and disclosures | Comprehensive environmental rep covering compliance with environmental laws, absence of contamination, no pending or threatened environmental claims; no knowledge qualifier | Seller proposed knowledge qualifier on environmental reps; proposed limiting scope to 'material' non-compliance; resists representation regarding absence of contamination given Phase I ESA findings | Maintained broad environmental rep; accepted knowledge qualifier only for third-party environmental claims; no knowledge qualifier on contamination rep given Marysville Phase I findings (recognized environmental condition) | Open | High | Phase I ESA (TEG-2022-0441) for Marysville facility (2800 Industrial Parkway, Marysville, OH 43040) identified potential soil contamination. Phase II investigation recommended by Terrapoint but never commenced. Seller's resistance to broad contamination rep is understandable but buyer cannot accept knowledge qualifier without Phase II data. | Condition environmental rep scope on completion of Phase II ESA; discuss allocation of remediation costs if contamination confirmed | A. Fitzpatrick / S. Tung |
| 14 | Article IV — Representations and Warranties (Buyer) | Buyer Representations — Financing | Buyer's representation regarding availability of financing to close | Buyer represents it has obtained debt commitment from Harborview National Bank, N.A. ($60M, dated August 5, 2022) and equity commitment from Lakepoint Capital Partners, LP ($35M, dated August 12, 2022) sufficient to fund the $95M purchase price | Seller accepted financing rep but requested reverse termination fee if buyer fails to close due to financing failure | Rejected reverse termination fee; agreed to provide copies of commitment letters as closing deliverables; noted commitment letters have expiration provisions (debt commitment expires February 5, 2023) | Open | Medium | Reverse termination fee concept rejected. Seller may revisit. Debt commitment from Harborview (SOFR + 375 bps, commitment fee 50 bps, ticking fee 25 bps from November 3, 2022) has February 5, 2023 expiration date — creates timing pressure. Equity commitment from Lakepoint ($35M) reviewed in separate memo (August 16, 2022). | Monitor debt commitment expiration; assess need for extension request to Harborview | A. Fitzpatrick |
| 15 | Article V — Covenants | Covenants — Interim Operations | Seller's covenants regarding operation of the product line between signing and closing | Standard interim operating covenants: operate in ordinary course, maintain inventory levels, preserve customer/supplier relationships, no material changes without buyer consent | Seller proposed materiality qualifiers on interim covenants and broader exceptions for actions in the ordinary course of the retained Commercial Janitorial Services Division | Accepted broader exceptions for retained division; maintained strict ordinary course covenant for the product line; accepted materiality qualifier on 'no material changes' covenant | Compromised | Medium | Key concern is separation of product line operations from retained Janitorial Services Division during interim period. Seller needs operational flexibility for retained business. | None — resolved in second draft | N/A |
| 16 | Article V — Covenants | Covenants — Regulatory Filings | Seller's covenant to complete outstanding regulatory filings for the product line | Seller to cure all regulatory filing gaps for CleanLeaf and PureHaven product lines prior to closing | Seller acknowledged filing gap but proposed post-closing cure period of 90 days with buyer cooperation | Accepted 60-day post-closing cure period (split the difference); buyer to have right to cure at seller's expense if seller fails to complete within 60 days | Compromised | Medium | Regulatory filing gap identified in litigation/regulatory diligence memo (September 12, 2022) — relates to state product registration requirements. HSR filing not required (below threshold; Briarwood does not meet size-of-person test). | Confirm scope of filing gap with Naomi Petersen; verify state-by-state registration requirements | N. Petersen |
| 17 | Article VI — Conditions to Closing | Conditions — Third-Party Consents | Closing conditions related to third-party consents (landlord, customer contracts) | Closing conditioned on receipt of: (1) landlord consent from Buckeye Industrial Properties LLC for Marysville lease assignment; (2) consents from counterparties to 7 customer contracts with change-of-control/assignment consent provisions | Seller proposed that failure to obtain certain customer consents should not be a closing condition; proposed that landlord consent be a covenant (use best efforts) rather than a hard condition | Maintained landlord consent as a hard closing condition (Marysville facility is critical to product line operations); accepted compromise on customer consents — only 'material' customer consents (contracts representing >$2M annual revenue) as closing conditions; others as covenants | Open | High | Landlord consent request sent to Buckeye Industrial Properties LLC (77 E. Nationwide Blvd., Columbus, OH) on October 7, 2022 — no response received as of this date. 7 of 23 assigned contracts require consent. Must determine which of the 7 exceed $2M materiality threshold. Customer consent form letter prepared (October 12, 2022) but not yet distributed. | Follow up on landlord consent; identify which customer contracts exceed $2M threshold; distribute consent request letters | A. Fitzpatrick / N. Petersen |
| 18 | Article VI — Conditions to Closing | Conditions — Environmental | Closing condition related to environmental investigation results | Closing conditioned on completion of Phase II ESA for Marysville facility and results satisfactory to buyer in its reasonable discretion | Seller objected to Phase II as a closing condition; argued Phase I findings are preliminary and do not warrant delay; proposed indemnification for environmental matters as alternative to Phase II condition | Maintained Phase II as a closing condition; Phase II not yet commenced (to be performed by Terrapoint Environmental Group, Inc., project manager Keith Novak); willing to discuss environmental indemnification as supplemental protection but not as replacement for Phase II condition | Open | High | Phase I ESA (TEG-2022-0441, delivered September 2, 2022) identified recognized environmental condition at Marysville facility. Phase II has not been commenced — significant outstanding diligence item. Environmental indemnification alone is insufficient without understanding scope of potential contamination. | Engage Terrapoint to scope Phase II work plan and timeline; discuss with Seller's counsel | A. Fitzpatrick |
| 19 | Article VI — Conditions to Closing | Conditions — Financing | Financing condition / no-financing-condition structure | No financing condition (consistent with Harborview commitment letter and Lakepoint equity commitment); deal structured as unconditional on buyer's financing | Seller accepted no-financing-condition structure | No change; maintained | Closed | Low | Standard for PE-backed acquisitions. Buyer bears financing risk. Harborview debt commitment ($60M) and Lakepoint equity commitment ($35M) in place. | None | N/A |
| 20 | Article VII — Indemnification | Indemnification — Special / Consequential Damages | Exclusion of special, consequential, and punitive damages from indemnification | Mutual exclusion of special, consequential, incidental, and punitive damages (except to the extent payable to third parties in third-party claims) | Seller accepted mutual exclusion; no markup | No change; maintained | Closed | Low | Standard provision; no dispute. | None | N/A |
| 21 | Article VII — Indemnification | Indemnification — R&W Insurance Interaction | Coordination of indemnification obligations with proposed R&W insurance policy | APA to provide that R&W insurance supplements but does not replace seller's indemnification obligations; no reduction of seller's indemnification obligation on account of R&W insurance proceeds | Seller proposed that buyer's primary recourse be R&W insurance, with seller's indemnification limited to retention amount under policy; argued cap should be reduced if R&W insurance is obtained | Rejected subordination of seller's indemnification to R&W insurance; maintained R&W insurance as supplemental coverage only; willing to discuss slight reduction of cap (from 35% to 30%) if R&W policy with acceptable terms is bound | Open | Medium | R&W insurance underwriting submission sent to Northbridge Risk Advisors LLC (Alison Chu) on October 1, 2022 for Sentinel Specialty Insurance Company (Mark Ellison). Coverage analysis memo prepared October 10, 2022. Policy never bound. If deal reactivates, R&W terms would need refresh. | Contingent on R&W insurance binding; link to cap negotiation (Issue 8) | S. Tung |
| 22 | Article VIII — Non-Competition | Non-Competition Agreement — Scope and Duration | Malcolm Greer non-competition and non-solicitation agreement | 4-year non-compete covering consumer products only; includes non-solicitation of transferred employees (186) and customers; geographic scope: United States | Seller (Greer) proposed 3-year term; requested narrower product scope limited to home cleaning and personal care only (not all consumer products); requested geographic limitation to states where product line currently sold | Maintained 4-year term; accepted product scope limitation to 'home cleaning, personal care, and substantially similar product categories'; rejected geographic limitation (product line distributed nationally) | Open | Medium | Malcolm Greer is sole shareholder and key operator. Non-compete is essential given he is retaining the Commercial Janitorial Services Division. Product scope compromise is reasonable — 'substantially similar' captures potential competitive entries without overreaching. | Finalize product scope language; circulate revised non-compete draft | N. Petersen |
| 23 | Article IX — Transition Services | Transition Services Agreement — Duration and Scope | TSA duration, services, and pricing | Up to 12 months post-closing; Seller provides IT, accounting, warehousing, and customer service support; at-cost pricing plus 5% markup | Seller proposed at-cost plus 10% markup; proposed 9-month maximum term; requested advance termination notice of 60 days | Maintained 12-month maximum term; accepted at-cost plus 7.5% markup (compromise); accepted 30-day advance termination notice (split the difference) | Compromised | Medium | TSA first draft circulated September 15, 2022. Pricing markup settled at 7.5%. Duration and termination provisions resolved. | Incorporate agreed terms into TSA second draft | N. Petersen |
| 24 | Article X — Closing Deliverables | Closing Deliverables — IP Assignment | Form and scope of IP Assignment Agreement for CleanLeaf and PureHaven brands | Comprehensive IP assignment covering trademarks, trade dress, domain names, formulation trade secrets, and goodwill associated with CleanLeaf and PureHaven brands; all ~142 active SKU-related IP | Seller accepted scope; requested representation that buyer will maintain product quality standards to protect brand goodwill during 12-month post-closing period | Accepted quality maintenance representation for 12 months, limited to products sold under the CleanLeaf and PureHaven brand names | Compromised | Low | IP assignment agreement draft prepared and attached to APA as exhibit. IP diligence memo (August 18, 2022) flagged incomplete trademark renewal filings — Seller to cure pre-closing. | Confirm trademark renewal status with Seller | N. Petersen |
| 25 | Article X — Closing Deliverables | Closing Deliverables — Employee Matters | Offer letter process and employee transfer mechanics for 186 transferring employees | Buyer to extend offer letters to all 186 transferring employees at least 10 business days prior to closing; substantially similar compensation and benefits for 12 months post-closing | Seller proposed 18-month benefit continuation period; proposed that buyer assume Seller's 401(k) plan for transferring employees | Maintained 12-month benefit continuation; rejected 401(k) plan assumption (confirmed in employment diligence memo August 25, 2022 that plan cannot be assumed — buyer to enroll employees in buyer's plan); accepted 15 business day offer letter timeline | Compromised | Medium | Employment/benefits diligence confirmed 401(k) plan assumption is not feasible. 186 employees will receive offer letters. WARN Act analysis completed — no WARN issues identified assuming all employees receive offers. | Prepare template offer letters; coordinate timing with HR | N. Petersen |
| 26 | Article X — Closing Deliverables | Closing Deliverables — Real Property | Transfer mechanics for West Jefferson distribution center and Marysville lease assignment | Deed transfer for West Jefferson facility (500 Commerce Blvd, West Jefferson, OH 43162, owned by Briarwood); lease assignment for Marysville manufacturing facility (2800 Industrial Parkway, Marysville, OH 43040, leased from Buckeye Industrial Properties LLC) | No material dispute on transfer mechanics; Seller requested buyer indemnify landlord for post-closing lease obligations as part of consent process | Accepted post-closing indemnification to landlord as standard for lease assignment; mechanics contingent on receipt of landlord consent (see Issue 17) | Compromised | Medium | Landlord consent from Buckeye Industrial Properties LLC remains outstanding (requested October 7, 2022, no response). West Jefferson deed transfer is straightforward — property included in Acquired Assets. | Follow up on Buckeye Industrial Properties consent; prepare assignment of lease draft | A. Fitzpatrick |
| 27 | Article XI — Termination | Termination — Outside Date | Outside date for closing / termination right if closing has not occurred | Outside date of 120 days after APA execution; either party may terminate if closing has not occurred by outside date (subject to extensions for regulatory approvals) | Seller proposed 90-day outside date; requested mutual walk right with no termination fee | Maintained 120-day outside date; accepted mutual walk right with no termination fee (consistent with LOI, which had no break fee) | Open | Medium | 30-day gap on outside date. Given outstanding diligence items (Phase II ESA, inventory valuation, landlord consent), 120 days may be tight. Consider whether longer outside date needed. LOI (March 28, 2022) had no break fee; APA follows same approach. | Assess realistic timeline for outstanding items; adjust outside date proposal if needed | S. Tung |
| 28 | Article XII — Miscellaneous | Governing Law and Dispute Resolution | Choice of law and dispute resolution mechanism | New York governing law; disputes resolved by binding arbitration in New York | Seller proposed Ohio governing law (Briarwood is an Ohio corporation); proposed litigation in Ohio courts rather than arbitration | Maintained New York governing law (consistent with LOI binding provisions); accepted arbitration in New York (buyer's preferred forum); rejected Ohio courts | Open | Low | Governing law was a binding provision in the LOI. Seller may have limited leverage to renegotiate. New York law is standard for PE-backed transactions. | Reference LOI binding provision in negotiations | A. Fitzpatrick |
| 29 | Disclosure Schedules | Disclosure Schedules — Completeness | Status and completeness of Seller's disclosure schedules | Full and complete disclosure schedules to be delivered as condition to signing | Seller delivered partial first draft of disclosure schedules on September 28, 2022; several schedules missing or incomplete (environmental, litigation, employee matters, customer contracts requiring consent) | Identified gaps in second draft cover letter (September 15, 2022); requested complete schedules by October 31, 2022 | Open | High | Partial schedules received September 28, 2022. Missing schedules include: environmental compliance schedule, pending/threatened litigation schedule, complete list of customer contracts requiring consent (7 identified but details incomplete), and employee benefit plan schedule. Complete schedules never received — deal stalled before deadline. | Send follow-up request for complete disclosure schedules; identify specific missing items | N. Petersen |
| 30 | General | Accounts Receivable — Adjustment | Closing adjustment for accounts receivable collectibility | Closing adjustment based on collectibility analysis of $9,700,000 AR balance (as of 6/30/22); buyer proposes aging-based reserve methodology | Seller proposed no AR adjustment; represents that AR is fully collectible | Maintained AR adjustment mechanism; proposed 90-day post-closing true-up based on actual collections | Open | Medium | AR balance of $9,700,000 as of reference date (6/30/22) included in Acquired Assets. Whitfield Ames diligence focused primarily on inventory but should extend to AR collectibility. Post-closing true-up mechanism is market-standard. | Request Whitfield Ames analysis of AR aging; draft post-closing true-up mechanics | A. Fitzpatrick |
