PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS If the Distributor is required to indemnify the Trader under section 46A of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Distributor must promptly pay the Trader the amounts due under that Act.
Contingent Payments (a) In addition to the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 5, Buyer will make payments ("Contingent Payments") to Seller based upon 10% of the gross receipts as accrued by Buyer that exceed $7,500,000 during an Earnout Period (the "Annual Threshold") as a result of the sale of products and services that use or are based, in whole or in part, on the intellectual property transferred by Seller to Buyer (the "Ongoing Business"). An "Earnout Period" is a 12-month period. The first Earnout Period will commence on the first day of the calendar month following the Closing Date. The Contingent Payment may be payable for up to five Earnout Periods. The maximum amount of Contingent Payment payable by Buyer to Seller, during all Earnout Periods together, is $2,200,000.
(b) Subject to the credit described in the last sentence of this Section 5(b) and the aggregate maximum amount described in Section 5(a), the Contingent Payments following the Closing Date, will be made in cash on a quarterly basis during the first three quarters of each Earnout Period using $1,875,000 as the quarterly threshold gross revenue target. The amount of the final quarterly payment will be determined using the Annual Threshold and the actual annual gross revenues during such Earnout Period and will subtract any quarterly payments previously made for such year. If at the end of each Earnout Period (other than the first Earnout Period) it is determined that the sum of the quarterly payments for such Earnout Period exceeds the actual payment due as determined on an annual basis ("Excess Payments"), such Excess Payments may be retained by the Seller, but will be credited against amounts due in future Earnout Periods.
(c) The Contingent Payment, if any, due to Seller for the first quarterly period of the first Earnout Period shall be paid to Seller. The first $200,000 of Contingent Payments due to Seller for the second and subsequent quarterly periods (the "Holdback Amount") will be held by Buyer in a segregated interest bearing account and may be unconditionally released, upon five (5) days advanced written notice to Seller describing such liabilities, to compensate Buyer for any liabilities of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement and to compensate Buyer for any Excess Payments made during the first Earnout Period. The amount, if any, of the Holdback Amount remaining at the end of the ninth earnout quarter will be paid to Seller on such date.
(d) In the event the net working capital as of the Closing Date of the Ongoing Business is less than $(658,000) (the "Target Number"), then Buyer shall be entitled to offset the amount of the difference against any Contingent Payments payable in accordance with this Section 5, thereby reducing the Contingent Payments payable and the maximum amount of Contingent Payments payable by the difference. In the event the net working capital as of the Closing Date is more than the Target Number, then Seller shall be entitled to an increase in the amount of the Contingent Payments payable at the end of the first Earnout Period in accordance with this Section 5 equal to the amount in excess of the Target Number, thereby increasing the maximum amount of Contingent Payments payable by the difference. Net working capital shall be the sum of accounts receivable and inventory minus accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and unearned revenue.
(e) Any amounts paid by Buyer to Seller hereunder shall be used first to satisfy any claims for payment made by any third party against Seller.
Contingent Payment (a) In the event that Purchaser consummates a Change of Control Transaction prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date (a “Qualifying Sale Transaction”), then Seller shall be entitled to receive a payment in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Net Sale Proceeds, valuing any non-cash consideration included in the Net Sale Proceeds at fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of Purchaser) (such payment, the “Contingent Payment”), payable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7.
(b) No later than five (5) days following the final determination of the Qualifying Sale Proceeds pursuant to the post-closing purchase price adjustment provisions of the definitive agreement for such Qualifying Sale Transaction (the “Qualifying Sale Agreement”) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, along with reasonable supporting documentation, a statement setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Net Sale Proceeds and the resulting Contingent Payment (the “Contingent Payment Statement”). Purchaser’s calculation of the Contingent Payment set forth in the Contingent Payment Statement shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement unless Seller delivers to Purchaser a written objection to such calculation within twenty (20) days following the date of delivery of the Contingent Payment Statement setting forth in reasonable detail Seller’s basis for its objection. In the event that Seller timely submits any such written objection, then Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their dispute with respect to the calculation of the Contingent Payment; provided, that if such dispute is not resolved within twenty (20) days after delivery of such written objection, then the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2.4(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis.
(c) No later than three (3) Business Days after final determination of the amount of the Contingent Payment pursuant to Section 2.7(b), Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Contingent Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Seller at least one (1) Business Day prior to the end of such three (3) Business Day period; provided, that in the event that any portion of the consideration to be received by Cerberus pursuant to such Qualifying Sale Transaction (i) is subject to any escrow, holdback or other contingency, then the proportionate amount of the Contingent Payment shall be withheld and not paid to Seller unless, until and only to the extent that such portion of Cerberus’s consideration is released to Cerberus from any such escrow or holdback, or such contingency lapses or is satisfied (or any portion of the amounts withheld in respect of such contingency is distributed to the limited partners or other investors of Cerberus), as applicable, and (ii) is non-cash consideration, then the Contingent Payment shall be made in the same proportion of cash and non-cash consideration as the proportion of cash and non-cash consideration comprising the Qualifying Sale Proceeds; provided further that, to the extent receipt of any non-cash consideration would cause Seller or any of its Affiliates to be bound by, or otherwise subject to, any noncompetition, nonsolicitation or other material restrictive covenant (other than a customary confidentiality covenant, and expressly excluding any shareholder restrictions on transfer that apply equally to Cerberus), Seller instead shall be entitled to receive from Purchaser cash with a value equivalent to such non-cash consideration, valuing such non-cash consideration at fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of Purchaser).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7 or otherwise, but subject to any rights Seller or any of its Affiliates may have under the Ancillary Agreements, (i) Seller shall have no rights with respect to any Change of Control Transaction, Qualifying Sale Transaction or Qualifying Sale Agreement (including, without limitation, no information rights or rights to object or consent to any such transaction or agreement) other than the rights expressly set forth herein to receive the Contingent Payment if and when payable pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.7 and (ii) Purchaser shall not be permitted in connection with any Qualifying Sale Transaction to bind Seller or any of its Affiliates to sell any equity interests to, or to make any agreement, covenant or restriction with or in favor of, any third party.
