                    (m) Post-Closing Adjustment.  The parties                         
               acknowledge that the Buyer [petitioner] shall be                       
               entitled to (i) 25% of the pre-tax earnings of the                     
               Business (after the charges set forth on Schedule Q)                   
               from January 1, 1978 to July 2, 1978 and (ii) 50% of                   
               the pre-tax earnings of the Business (after the charges                
               set forth in Schedule Q) from July 3, 1978 to the day                  
               immediately preceding the Closing Date.  Within 60 days                
               after the Closing Date, the parties shall determine the                
               amount of any adjustment required to enable the Buyer                  
               to receive the benefit of its share of the profits as                  
               set forth above.  In the event the Seller [Chemetron],

               the Seller the amount of such deficiency.  In the event                
               the Seller, as of the Closing Date, has withdrawn more                 
               than the amount to which it is entitled, the Seller                    
               shall pay to the Buyer the amount of such excess.
