(c) The Purchaser shall, not later than thirty (30) days from receipt of the Put Notice, advise Nixon or his Permitted Transferee(s) in writing (the "Put Response Letter") as to (i) the date of the proposed closing of the redemption and repurchase of the aggregate number of shares of the Purchaser Common Stock subject to the Put Option and included in the Put Notice (the "Put Securities"), which date (the "Put Effective Date") shall be not later than ten (10) days from the date the EBITDA Statement is mutually agreed to between the parties; and (ii) the method of payment of the Put Option Price for such Put Securities on the Put Effective Date, and if such payment shall not be in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, appropriately detailed terms of payment and reasons for the deferral. In addition, the Purchaser will on or before the date of delivery of the Put Response Letter, instruct the independent accountants engaged by the Purchaser to (i) audit its financial statements, to conduct a special review and calculation of the EBITDA of the Purchaser and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the relevant Fiscal Year, and (ii) prepare and deliver the EBITDA Statement to the Purchaser and Nixon or his Permitted Transferee(s) not later than 45 days from the date of the Put Response Letter. (d) Nixon and/or his Permitted Transferee(s) shall have the right to review fully all work papers relating to the EBITDA Statement in order to confirm that such EBITDA Statement has been determined as provided herein. Nixon and/or his Permitted Transferee(s) shall complete their review of such EBITDA Statement within thirty (30) days after such determination and related documentation have been made available for its review.

OTC-Bulletin Board, The Nasdaq Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange, for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the last business day immediately preceding the closing of the Put Effective Date (if publicly traded at such time). (f) On each occasion that a Put Notice shall be given, the Purchaser will undertake to pay the Put Option Price for the Put Securities in cash in immediately available funds on the Put Effective Date. If, due to restrictions under applicable law or any credit agreement binding upon the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be unable to pay all of the Put Option Price in cash, or if such payment, if made by Purchaser, would have a substantial material adverse effect on the liquidity and capital resources of the Purchaser, then and in either such events, Blakey shall pay such unpaid portion of the Put Option Price in cash.
