Holdback Amount Escrow Agent shall hold back in escrow from Seller’s net proceeds at Closing an amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”). The sole purpose for which the Holdback Amount may be applied is as to any amounts which Seller owes to Purchaser for post-Closing claims to the extent allowed and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, the Holdback Amount is intended as a source of payment, but not as a limitation of damages that may be claimed by Purchaser. Except as to any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser which amounts are specifically reflected in a lawsuit commenced against Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for damages based upon the post-Closing claim, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Prior to institution of any such lawsuit, Purchaser shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, specifying the exact amount and nature of any such claim asserted by Purchaser against the Holdback Amount. Any lawsuit commenced against Seller must specifically set forth the exact amount which is claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser, and absent such specific amount being identified, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the entire Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve month (12) month period post-Closing. Any portion of the Holdback Amount which Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.10 after the passage of the twelve (12) month period, shall continue to be held in escrow pending final and unappealable dismissal or judgment in the action or actions timely commenced by Purchaser or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser obtains a final and unappealable judgment in any such action, Escrow Agent is directed to make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount retained in escrow in the amount of the judgment plus any interest, attorney’s fees, and costs to which it is entitled thereon upon presentation to Escrow Agent and Seller of the court order or other evidence of such final and unappealable judgment. Once all such actions are either finally or unappealably dismissed or a final and unappealable judgment is entered therein or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and any amount of damages due to Purchaser is paid, whether from the Holdback Amount or otherwise, Escrow Agent is directed to disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount. The parties shall execute any additional escrow instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing reasonably required by Escrow Agent or either party relating to the Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent’s fees and costs for holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.
Escrow Amount At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller shall deposit Ninety Thousand Two Hundred Forty-One Dollars ($90,241) (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated account as security for Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 15 hereof. All interest accruing on the Escrow Amount shall be for the benefit of Seller. In the event Buyer makes a written claim or demand for indemnification under Section 15 hereof (an “Indemnification Claim”), and Seller does not dispute such Indemnification Claim, or is determined to be liable for and in respect of such Indemnification Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Escrow Agent promptly thereafter shall pay such Indemnification Claim in full to Buyer, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement. On the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.06 hereof), fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Amount then remaining in escrow under the Escrow Agreement and not then subject to an outstanding Indemnification Claim shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Seller. The Escrow Agreement shall expire upon the termination of the Survival Period (as defined in Section 15.01 hereof), and immediately thereafter the Escrow Agent shall pay the portion, if any, of the then remaining Escrow Amount not in dispute to Seller; provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, Buyer shall have made an Indemnification Claim or commenced litigation or any other proceeding on account of any such claim, the term of the Escrow Agreement shall be extended, and the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in escrow the portion of the then Escrow Amount in dispute, in each case until the final resolution of such Indemnification Claim or litigation or proceeding relating thereto, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement.
Earn-Out Consideration (a) If the earnings before taxes (the "EBT") of the Company for the twelve months ending December 31, 1998, increased by amounts in respect of those items set forth on Schedule 2.5 that affected net income during the period from January 1, 1998 through the Closing Date and decreased by the amount of UniCapital corporate overhead allocated to the Company for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 1998 (the "Adjusted 1998 EBT"), exceeds the EBT of the Company for the twelve months ending December 31, 1997, inclusive of the add-backs set forth on Schedule 2.5 (the "Adjusted 1997 EBT"), then the Stockholders shall be entitled to receive one-half of the difference between the Adjusted 1998 EBT and the Adjusted 1997 EBT.
Earn-Out Payment On or before each of September 15, 2003 and September 15, 2004, Buyer shall calculate the Revenue (as defined below) for the prior twelve (12) month period ending July 31 (each an "Earn Out Period") attributable to the Business, and deliver a notice of the calculation (together with the details of such calculation, including a line item for each element thereof) to Seller. As used in this Agreement, the "Business" means the products sold (together with services provided in connection therewith) by Company at the time of Closing (without regard to product name changes or the like) and listed on Schedule 1.2(b) (solely for purposes of this Section 1.2, the "Products"), and each subsequent version of any such software product introduced during the Earn Out Periods. The Revenue shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis and consistent with past Company practices (including practices relating to foreign currency conversion), subject to the adjustments set forth in paragraph (c) below. In the event the Revenue for the one-year period ending on July 31, 2003 is greater than $7,295,851 (the "First Threshold"), One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "First Earn Out Payment") of the Purchase Price will be paid in cash to the Seller on September 15, 2003. In the event the Revenue for the one-year period ending July 31, 2004 is greater than $7,295,851 (the "Second Threshold"), an additional one million dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Second Earn Out Payment") of the Purchase Price will be paid in cash to the Seller on September 15, 2004. Neither the First Earn Out Payment nor the Second Earn Out Payment may be increased, decreased, or prorated. If either the First Earn Out Payment or the Second Earn Out Period is not earned with respect to the year to which it relates, it expires and cannot be paid in a later year regardless of Revenue in that later year. Except for the obligations of Buyer and Company set forth in Section 1.2(e), nothing herein shall in any way limit or restrict Buyer's or Company's business practices or decisions following the Closing, provided that those practices and decisions are not solely for avoiding payment of the Earn Out.
Earn-Out Payments (i) Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of joint written instructions (“Earn-Out Payment Instructions”) from the DT Representative (on behalf of Purchaser) and the Seller Representative that for any Earn-Out Year there has been a final determination in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Share Exchange Agreement (but subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Share Exchange Agreement) with respect to the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year or the Alternative Earn-Out Payment (the date that the Escrow Agent receives Earn-Out Payment Instructions with respect to any Earn-Out Year, an “Earn-Out Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall distribute Escrow Property from the Escrow Account in accordance with such Earn-Out Payment Instructions (A) to the Sellers in an amount equal to the Earn-Out Payment (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Accrued Dividends payable by the Purchaser separate from the Escrow Account) less the sum of (I) the Reserved Amount (as defined below) as of the date of such payment, and (II) the amount of any Indemnification Claims that have been paid from the Escrow Account prior to such time but have not previously been used to reduce the amount of any prior Earn-Out Payment (but net of any prior Earn-Out Payments that have not yet been paid and are still being retained in the Escrow Account as of such time for Indemnification Claims that are still Pending Claims as of such time), up to a maximum amount equal to such Earn-Out Payment, and (B), after the last Earn-Out Year only, to Purchaser any portion of any Earn-Out Payments that were not earned by the Sellers in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement. For the determination of the Escrow Shares to be withheld for the Reserved Amount, the Escrow Shares shall be valued at the Purchaser Share Price as of the applicable Earn-Out Release Date.
Merger Consideration Adjustment Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the number of outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
Earnout Payments (a) The terms below shall have the following respective meanings for the purposes of this Section 2.3:
Earnout Payment In addition to the Closing Payment Shares, if Madhouse meets certain performance requirements during a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2022 as set forth on Schedule II (the “Earnout Provisions”), then the Purchaser shall make the one-time payment (the “Earnout Payment”) determined in accordance with the Earnout Provisions, payable to the Seller and the long-term incentive plan (described below). As set forth in more detail in, and subject to, the Earnout Provisions, the Earnout Payment will be made in the form of (a) the Purchaser issuing to the Seller additional Purchaser Common Shares (the “Earnout Payment Shares”) in the amount calculated pursuant to the Earnout Provisions, (b) a cash payment, (c) a subordinated promissory note issued by the Purchaser to the Seller, or (d) a combination of the foregoing payment methods. The Earnout Payment shall be made by the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after a final determination of payment due to the Seller pursuant to this Section 3.1. The Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to perform its obligations set forth in the Earnout Provisions and to maintain the highest number of Purchaser Common Shares potentially issuable under the terms of the Earnout Provisions (which number shall not be less than 22,200,000) available for issuance with respect to Earnout Payment Shares without any restriction or limitation thereof, at all times after the Closing until all of the payment obligations set forth in the Earnout Provisions have been satisfied or have expired. The amount of the Earnout Payment (i) is subject to reduction as set forth in the Earnout Provisions and Article VIII and, (ii) as set forth in the Earnout Provisions, has been partially and irrevocably assigned by Seller to fund a long-term incentive plan to be established for the benefit of designated individuals employed by or associated with the Group Company business, in a manner that shall be determined in Seller’s discretion, provided that Seller shall not receive any portion of such assigned Earnout Payment.
Annual Adjustment At the end of each Fiscal Year and following receipt by Manager of the annual accounting referred to in Article 10, an adjustment will be made to such annual account, if necessary and if available, so that the appropriate amount shall have been deposited in the Reserve.
Cash Payment The Employee shall make cash payments by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Option Shares until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof.
