Additional Payment In addition to any Spousal Support, in the event of Divorce: (check one)
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.
Contingent Payments (a) The Seller shall be eligible to earn an aggregate of up to an additional One Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,350,000) (a “Maximum Contingent Payment Amount”) in contingent payments pursuant to this Section 1.6.
(b) Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter (each, a “Measurement Period”) commencing with the calendar quarter in which the Closing Date occurs, Buyer, in good faith, shall calculate the Net Revenue for such Measurement Period and shall deliver to the Seller a certificate setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, which calculation shall be final and binding on all parties unless the Seller objects to such calculation as set forth in Section 1.6(e) below. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.7, within ten (10) days following the final determination of the Net Revenue for such Measurement Period, Buyer shall pay (or, if deposited with SunTrust Bank, as the escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), cause the Escrow Agent to pay) to the Seller an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Net Revenue for such Measurement Period (each, a “Contingent Payment”); provided, however, that the maximum aggregate payments to which the Seller shall be entitled hereunder shall not exceed the Maximum Contingent Payment Amount.
(c) If at any time prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Contingent Payments paid to the Seller (whether such payments are placed in escrow as contemplated by this Agreement, paid to the Seller or offset pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1.5 and 8.7) total, in the aggregate, an amount equal to or greater than $1,100,000, then Buyer shall deposit, on behalf of the Seller, any remaining Contingent Payments up to the Maximum Contingent Payment Amount earned by the Seller on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date into escrow with the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement to be entered into on the Closing Date (the “Escrow Agreement”). Any such amount (in addition to other remedies available to the Buyer Indemnified Persons as contemplated by this Agreement) placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent shall be available to satisfy claims by the Buyer’s Indemnified Persons for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII hereof. Promptly following the first year anniversary of the Closing Date, any Contingent Payments placed in escrow pursuant to this Section 1.6(c) shall be released to the Seller by the Escrow Agent, less any amounts used or which may be used, as the case may be, to satisfy any final or unresolved claims for indemnification by the Buyer’s Indemnified Persons pursuant to Article VIII hereof.
(d) Upon payment of the aggregate Contingent Payments in the amount of the Maximum Contingent Payment Amount (whether such payments are placed in escrow as contemplated by this Agreement, paid to the Seller or offset pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1.5 and 8.7), then, except with respect to the Seller’s right to any amounts placed in escrow pursuant to Section 1.6(c), the respective rights and obligations of the Seller and Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall terminate.
(e) With respect to Section 1.6(b), Buyer shall, upon the reasonable request of the Seller, provide the Seller with reasonable evidence substantiating such calculations; provided, however, that the Seller shall hold all such information in strict confidence and shall not use any such information for any purpose whatsoever other than to verify the calculation of Net Revenue.
(f) If the Seller objects to the calculation of the Net Revenue or any Contingent Payment, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer within thirty (30) days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s calculation of the Net Revenue a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail such objections (a “Net Revenue Objection Notice”), together with all supporting documentation. If the Seller delivers a Net Revenue Objection Notice to Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of the applicable Contingent Payment not in dispute, and shall deposit any amount in dispute into escrow with the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, and Buyer and the Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve the matters set forth in the Net Revenue Objection Notice within twenty (20) days after receipt of the same by Buyer. If the Parties are unable to do so, either Buyer or the Seller may refer all remaining disputes to the Dispute Accounting Firm which shall be instructed to resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days of the referral. Buyer and the Seller shall have the right to meet jointly with the Dispute Accounting Firm during this period and to present their respective positions. The resolution of disputes by the Dispute Accounting Firm will be set forth in writing and will be conclusive and binding upon the parties, upon the date of such resolution, absent manifest error. In making its determination, the Dispute Accounting Firm shall consider only those items that the Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve and the Dispute Accounting Firm shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the definition of Net Revenue and the terms of this Section 1.6. The Seller and Buyer will each pay their own fees and expenses (including any fees and expenses of their accountants and other representatives) in connection with the resolution of any dispute under this Section 1.6 (excluding the fees and expenses of the Dispute Accounting Firm). The fees and expenses of the Dispute Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.6(f) shall be borne by Buyer and the Seller, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Dispute Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Dispute Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.
(g) For purposes hereof, the term “Net Revenue” shall mean the aggregate dollar amount of revenues (net of credits, discounts, refunds, rebates and returns) recognized by the Business, including revenues from title insurance and settlement services recognized by any Affiliate of HSCC, during a Measurement Period, calculated in accordance with GAAP and Buyer’s accounting principles.
Additional Payments (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if it is determined that any payment, award, benefit or distribution (or any acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or distribution) by the Company or any entity which effectuates a change in control (or other change in ownership) to or for the benefit of Executive would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“EXCESS PARACHUTE PAYMENTS”), or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “EXCISE TAX”), then the Company shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a “GROSS-UP PAYMENT”) in an amount equal to that required to result in Executive receiving, after application of the Excise Tax, a net amount that would have been received hereunder had the Excise Tax not applied.
(ii) Subject to clause (i), all determinations required to be made under this Section, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a public accounting firm that is selected by the Board (the “ACCOUNTING FIRM”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Company or Executive that there has been a Excess Parachute Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or Executive (collectively, the “DETERMINATION”). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company and the Company shall enter into any agreement requested by the Accounting Firm in connection with the performance of the services hereunder. The Gross-Up Payment under SECTION 3.2(c) with respect to any Excess Parachute Payments made to Executive shall be made no later than 30 days following such Excess Parachute Payment.
(iii) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Determination, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“UNDERPAYMENT”) or Gross-Up Payments will be made by the Company which should not have been made (“OVERPAYMENT”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. If Executive thereafter is required to make payment of any Excise Tax or additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive. If the amount of the Gross-Up Payment exceeds the amount necessary to reimburse Executive for his Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Overpayment that has been made and any such Overpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by Executive to or for the benefit of the Company. Executive shall cooperate, to the extent his expenses are reimbursed by the Company, with any reasonable requests by the Company in connection with any contest or disputes with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the Excise Tax. The Company shall in any event pay any Underpayment due to Executive no later than 15 days after the earlier of (A) the Company’s receipt of Executive’s notice of the amount of related taxes to be paid, or (B) Executive’s remittance of the related taxes to the applicable taxing authority; provided that any reimbursement required under this SECTION 3.2(c) of expenses incurred by Executive due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability shall be paid no later than 15 days after the earlier of (X) Executive’s presentation of a statement of any such expense, or (Y) the taxes that are the subject of such contest are remitted to the applicable taxing authority, or where as a result of the audit or contest no taxes are remitted, the date on which the audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the contest.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Vendors’ Delegate shall only invoice the Purchaser for the portion of any Earn-Out Payments or Royalties in dispute after such dispute is settled and the applicable portion of such Earn-Out Payment or Royalty is finally determined and failure to issue the invoice due to any dispute shall not prejudice the Vendors or the Vendors’ Delegate in any manner.
