Contingent Liabilities Assume, guarantee, become liable as a surety, endorse, contingently agree to purchase, or otherwise be or become liable, directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, by means of a maintenance agreement, an asset or stock purchase agreement, or any other agreement designed to ensure any creditor against loss), for or on account of the obligation of any person or entity, except by the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.
Contingent Liability Where we effect or arrange a Transaction, you should note that, depending upon the nature of the Transaction, you may be liable to make further payments when the Transaction fails to be completed or upon the earlier settlement or closing out of your position. You may be required to make further variable payments by way of margin against the purchase price of the investment, instead of paying (or receiving) the whole purchase (or sale) price immediately. The movement in the market price of your investment will affect the amount of margin payment you will be required to make. You need to monitor your margin levels on a daily basis. You agree to pay us on demand such sums by way of margin as are required from time to time as we may in our discretion reasonably require for the purpose of protecting ourselves against loss or risk of loss on present, future or contemplated Transactions under this Agreement. Please note that in the event that you fail to meet a margin call, we may immediately close out the position. Margin must be paid in cash in currency acceptable by us, as requested from time to time by the Company. Cash Margin paid to us is held as client money in accordance with the requirements of the Client Money Rules. Margin deposits shall be made by wire transfer, credit card, e-wallet or by such other means as The Company may direct. If there is an Event of Default or this Agreement terminates, we shall set-off the balance of cash margin owed by us to you against your obligations (as reasonably valued by us). The net amount, if any, payable between us following such set-off, shall take into account the Liquidation Amount payable under Clause 15 (Netting). You agree to execute such further documents and to take such further steps as we may reasonably require perfecting our security interest over and obtain legal title to the Secured Obligations. You undertake neither to create nor to have outstanding any security interest whatsoever over, nor to agree to assign or transfer, any of the cash margin transferred to us, except a lien routinely imposed on all securities in a clearing system in which such securities may be held. In addition, and without prejudice to any rights to which we may be entitled under this Agreement or any Applicable Regulations, we shall have a general lien on all cash held by us or our Associates or our nominees on your behalf until the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
Excluded Expenditures The Recipient undertakes that the proceeds of the Financing shall not be used to finance Excluded Expenditures. If the Association determines at any time that an amount of the Financing was used to make a payment for an Excluded Expenditure, the Recipient shall, promptly upon notice from the Association, refund an amount equal to the amount of such payment to the Association. Amounts refunded to the Association upon such request shall be cancelled.
Investment Assets Those assets of the Fund as the Advisor and the Fund shall specify in writing, from time to time, including cash, stocks, bonds and other securities that the Advisor deposits with the Custodian and places under the investment supervision of the Sub-Advisor, together with any assets that are added at a subsequent date or which are received as a result of the sale, exchange or transfer of such Investment Assets.
Litigation and Contingent Liabilities No litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding or governmental investigation or proceeding is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against any Loan Party which might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 9.6. Other than any liability incident to such litigation or proceedings, no Loan Party has any material contingent liabilities not listed on Schedule 9.6 or permitted by Section 11.1.

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.
