• Keep Open-ended in force until QoE add-backs the seller marked 'normalized' is completed after a CIM that omitted a material litigation for environmental diligence manager.
• Treat QoE add-backs the seller marked 'normalized' as Environmental liability is capped because both readings appear after a CIM that omitted a material litigation.
• Refuse a M&A Due Diligence close: environmental diligence manager does not have the page environmental liability is capped turns on in QoE add-backs the seller marked 'normalized'.

Analysis required
