This figure is the Debtors current best estimate based upon the Debtors projections but this figure could be higher or lower depending upon a number of factors, including the Debtors operating performance pending the Closing, the timing of the Closing and any settlements with vendors (including preclosing assumption of vendor contracts). This figure also does not take into account the $2 million that the Debtors are required to place into a segregated Payroll Account for approximately 120 days pursuant to the Transition Agreement with Purchaser as the Debtors expect that they will ultimately receive all of these funds back. 8 This figure assumes a net collection equal to 63% of the book amount of the Debtors accounts receivable which are projected to be approximately $12.6
