Related to Determination of Consideration; Escrow Adjustment

• Determination of Consideration For purposes of this Subsection 4.4, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

• Adjustment of Consideration (a) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) calendar days following the Effective Date, Nu Skin shall deliver to the Stockholders' Representative the Closing Balance Sheet, together with an unqualified report thereon of Nu Skin's Accountants stating that the Closing Balance Sheet fairly presents the consolidated financial position of the Company at the Effective Date in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Reference Balance Sheet. (i) Subject to clause (ii) of this Section 2.08(b), the Closing Balance Sheet delivered by Nu Skin to the Stockholders' Representative shall be deemed to be and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. (ii) The Stockholders' Representative may dispute the amount of the Closing Balance Sheet Book Value to the extent the net effect of such disputed amounts in the aggregate would affect the Closing Balance Sheet Book Value by more than the Designated Amount, but only on the basis that the amounts reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet were not arrived at in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Reference Balance Sheet; provided, however, that the Stockholders' Representative shall have notified Nu Skin and Nu Skin's Accountants in writing of each disputed item, specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within thirty (30) Business Days of Nu Skin's delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet to the Stockholders' Representative. In the event of such a dispute, the Stockholders' Accountants and Nu Skin's Accountants shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. If any such resolution by Nu Skin's Accountants and the Stockholders' Accountants leaves in dispute amounts the net effect of which in the aggregate would not affect the Closing Balance Sheet Book Value by more than the Designated Amount, all such amounts remaining in dispute shall then be deemed to have been resolved in favor of the Closing Balance Sheet delivered by Nu Skin to the Stockholders' Representative. If the Stockholders' Accountants and Nu Skin's Accountants are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by Nu Skin and Nu Skin's Accountants of the Stockholders' Representative written notice of dispute, the Stockholders' Accountants and Nu Skin's Accountants shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to Deloitte & Touche (or, if such firm shall decline to act or is not, at the time of such submission, independent of the Company or Nu Skin, to another independent accounting firm of international reputation mutually acceptable to Nu Skin and the Stockholders' Representative) (the "Independent Accounting Firm"), which shall, within thirty (30) Business Days after such submission, determine and report to Nu Skin and the Stockholders' Representative upon such remaining disputed items, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Stockholders' Representative and Nu Skin. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Stockholders and Nu Skin in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted. (iii) In acting under this Agreement, Nu Skin's Accountants, the Stockholders' Accountants and the Independent Accounting Firm shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators. (iv) No adjustment pursuant to Section 2.08(c) shall be made with respect to amounts disputed by the Stockholders' Representative pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) unless the net effect of the amounts successfully disputed by the Stockholders' Representative in the aggregate is to increase the Closing Balance Sheet Book Value by at least the Designated Amount. (c) The Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 2.08 upon the earliest of (A) the failure of the Stockholders' Representative to notify Nu Skin of a dispute within thirty (30) Business Days of Nu Skin's delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet to the Stockholders' Representative, (B) the resolution of all disputes pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(ii) by Nu Skin's Accountants and the Stockholders' Accountants and (C) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(ii) by the Independent Accounting Firm. The date the Closing Balance Sheet is deemed final is the "Adjustment Date". Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.08(b)(iv), on the Adjustment Date, an adjustment to the consideration given to the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement shall be made as follows: (i) In the event that the Reference Balance Sheet Book Value exceeds the Closing Balance Sheet Book Value, by at least the Designated Amount, then the consideration given to the Stockholders shall be adjusted downward in an amount equal to such excess (the "Downward Adjustment"); provided, however, that in the event Nu Skin has taken actions in connection with the Merger which the parties mutually

• Allocation of Consideration (i) Subject to Subsection 2.2(d)(ii), the aggregate consideration payable to the Participating Investors and the selling Key Holder shall be allocated based on the number of shares of Capital Stock sold to the Prospective Transferee by each Participating Investor and the selling Key Holder as provided in Subsection 2.2(b), provided that if a Participating Investor wishes to sell Preferred Stock, the price set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock. (ii) In the event that the Proposed Key Holder Transfer constitutes a Change of Control, the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall provide that the aggregate consideration from such transfer shall be allocated to the Participating Investors and the selling Key Holder in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of Article IV(B) of the Restated Certificate and, if applicable, the next sentence as if (A) such transfer were a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Restated Certificate), and (B) the Capital Stock sold in accordance with the Purchase and Sale Agreement were the only Capital Stock outstanding. In the event that a portion of the aggregate consideration payable to the Participating Investor(s) and selling Key Holder is placed into escrow and/or is payable only upon satisfaction of contingencies, the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall provide that (x) the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and is not subject to contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of Article IV(B) of the Restated Certificate as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such transfer, and (y) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the Participating Investor(s) and selling Key Holder upon release from escrow or satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of Article IV(B) of the Restated Certificate after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transfer.

• Reduction of Consideration Contractor agrees that County shall have the right to deduct from any payments contracted for under this Contract any amount owed to County by Contractor as a result of any obligation arising prior or subsequent to the execution of this contract. For purposes of this paragraph, obligations arising prior to the execution of this contract may include, but are not limited to any property tax, secured or unsecured, which tax is in arrears. If County exercises the right to reduce the consideration specified in this Contract, County shall give Contractor notice of the amount of any off-set and the reason for the deduction.

• Computation of Consideration To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). In connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be. Such determination of the fair value of such consideration shall be made by an Independent Appraiser. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. In the event any consideration received by the Issuer for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 4(f)(i) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board.

• Determination of Purchase Price The Securities Administrator will be responsible for determining the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that is sold by the Trust or with respect to which provision is made for the escrow of funds pursuant to this Section 2.03 and shall at the time of any purchase or escrow certify such amounts to the Depositor; provided that the Securities Administrator may consult with the Servicer to determine the Purchase Price unless the Servicer is the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loan. If, for whatever reason, the Securities Administrator shall determine that there is a miscalculation of the amount to be paid to the Trust, the Securities Administrator shall from monies in a Distribution Account return any overpayment that the Trust received as a result of such miscalculation to the applicable Purchaser upon the discovery of such overpayment, and the Securities Administrator shall collect from the applicable Purchaser for deposit to the Securities Account any underpayment that resulted from such miscalculation upon the discovery of such underpayment. Recovery may be made either directly or by set-off of all or any part of such underpayment against amounts owed by the Trust to such Purchaser.

• Payment of Consideration (1) Prior to the Filing Time, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Purchaser shall deposit, for the benefit of holders of Shares, cash with the Depositary in the aggregate amount equal to the payments in respect thereof required by this Plan of Arrangement (with the amount per Share in respect of which Dissent Rights have been exercised being deemed to be the Consideration per applicable Share for this purpose only). The cash deposited with the Depositary shall be held in an interest-bearing account, and any interest earned on such funds shall be for the account of the Purchaser. (2) Upon the surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(10), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holder of the Shares represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor from the Depositary, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder as soon as possible, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the cash which such holder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.3, and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. (3) Until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by this Section 5.1, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a cash payment in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in this Section 5.1 or Section 4.1, as the case may be, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.3. Any such certificate formerly representing Shares not duly surrendered on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder of Shares of any kind or nature against or in the Company or the Purchaser. On such date, all cash to which such former holder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser. (4) Prior to the Filing Time, in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, the Purchaser shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, for the benefit of holders of Options, PSUs and SARs, the Subscription Amount (which is an aggregate cash amount equal the payments in respect thereof required by the Company under this Plan of Arrangement) with the Depositary. The cash shall be held in a separate interest-bearing account and any interest earned on such funds prior to the Effective Time shall be for the account of the Purchaser and thereafter for the account of the Company. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Depositary shall deliver, on behalf of the Company, to each person who immediately before the Effective Time was a holder of Options, PSUs and SARs, as reflected on the register or accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of Options, PSUs and SARs as provided to the Depositary, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the cash payment, if any, which such holder of Options, PSUs and SARs is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(7), Section 3.1(8) and Section 3.1(9), respectively, less any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Section 5.3. (5) Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary on behalf of the Company or the Purchaser pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the consideration for the Shares, Options, PSUs or the SARs, as the case may be, pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser for no consideration. (6) No holder of Shares, Options, PSUs or SARs shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such securities other than any cash payment to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Article III and this Section 5.1 and, for greater certainty, no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith, other than any declared but unpaid dividends with a record date prior to the Effective Date. No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the Class A Shares and/or the Class B Shares with a record date on or after the Effective Date shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented outstanding Shares.

• Merger Consideration Adjustment (a) Following the Closing, the Merger Consideration shall be finally determined in accordance with the adjustments and procedures set forth in this Agreement. (b) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Cash, the Final Closing Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses, the Final Working Capital, and the resulting Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.10, the following payments shall be made, as applicable: (i) If the Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Adjustment Excess Amount”), then: (A) Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the Adjustment Excess Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share; and (B) Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit with the Paying Agent the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. (ii) If the Merger Consideration is equal to the Estimated Merger Consideration, then Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit with the Paying Agent the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. (iii) If the Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration (such difference, expressed as a positive number the “Adjustment Shortfall Amount”), then Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall: (A) in the event the Adjustment Shortfall Amount is less than the Escrow Amount, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to (1) release to Purchaser from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the Adjustment Shortfall Amount; and (2) deposit with the Paying Agent the remaining amounts of the Escrow Account (after payment of such Adjustment Shortfall Amount from the Escrow Account to Purchaser), pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share; or (B) in the event the Adjustment Shortfall Amount is equal to or greater than the Escrow Amount, (1) jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Purchaser from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the Escrow Amount and (2) the Equityholders, severally and not jointly, shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser an amount equal to the remaining portion of such Adjustment Shortfall Amount, if any. (c) Purchaser shall cause the Paying Agent to, as soon as practicable after the deposit with the Paying Agent of any amount pursuant to Section 2.8(b) (collectively, “Adjustment Consideration”), distribute to each Equityholder the portion of such Adjustment Consideration actually payable to such Equityholder pursuant to Section 2.2.

• Adjustment to Merger Consideration The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

• Calculation of Consideration Received If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
