Subject to clause 2.5, the Earn-Out Consideration will be determined and paid as follows: (a) the Earn-Out Consideration will be determined as being equal to 15% of the Free Cash Flow of the Company during the Earn-Out Period, calculated and paid at the end of each relevant fiscal year of GPS during the Earn-Out Period; (b) with respect to the initial fiscal year of the Earn-Out Period during which the Trigger Date has occurred, the Earn-Out Consideration will be determined as being equal to 15% of the Free Cash Flow of the Company from the Trigger Date to the last date of this initial fiscal year; (c) with respect to the final fiscal year of the Earn-Out Period, the Earn-Out Consideration will be determined as being equal to 15% of the Free Cash Flow of the Company from the first date of this final fiscal year to the Earn-Out Period End Date; (d) no Earn-Out Consideration will be payable with respect of any Free Cash Flow of the Company after the expiry of the Earn-Out Period; (e) the Company will calculate the Earn-Out Consideration within 90 days of the end of a relevant fiscal year of GPS during the Earn-Out Period; and (f) the Earn-Out Consideration will be paid to Nyrstar within 105 days of the end of a relevant fiscal year of GPS during the Earn-Out Period, provided that: (i) the Purchaser must, in the manner contemplated by clause 3(c) of the Share Purchase Agreement, withhold amounts payable to Nyrstar on account of Earn-Out Consideration, and any amounts so withheld will be treated as having been paid to Nyrstar on account of the Earn-Out Consideration; and (ii) the Purchaser or the Company will be entitled to withhold payment of amounts on account of the Earn-Out Consideration in the manner contemplated by, and otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Share Purchase Agreement.
Earn-Out Payment (a) The Earn-Out Amount, if any, due to the Company shall be paid by Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account designated by the Company no later than two (2) months following the day of final determination of such Earn-Out Amount in accordance with Section 2.03(b) and Section 2.03(c) below. (b) Within ninety (90) calendar days after the end of each Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Company a reasonably detailed statement (each, an “Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth a calculation of the Earn-Out Amount for such period together with reasonable supporting information. The Company may dispute the calculation of such Earn-Out Amount by providing written notice (an “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to the Company. If the Company does not provide an Earn-Out Dispute Notice, such Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final upon the end of such thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to the Company. An Earn-Out Dispute Notice shall identify each disputed item, specify the amount of such dispute and set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide the Company and its Representatives with reasonable access, information and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its review of an Earn-Out Statement. In the event of any such disputes, Purchaser and the Company shall attempt, in good faith, to reconcile their differences (including providing information that is reasonably requested to the other party), and any resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be evidenced by a writing signed by Purchaser and the Company reflecting such resolution. If Purchaser and the Company are able to reach a resolution, such Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final. If Purchaser and the Company are unable to reach such resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company’s delivery of an Earn-Out Dispute Notice to Purchaser, then Purchaser and the Company shall promptly submit any remaining disputed items for final binding resolution to the Designated Accounting Firm. If any remaining disputed items are submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Party will furnish to the Designated Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the remaining disputed items as the Designated Accounting Firm may request and are available to such Party, and each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Designated Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Designated Accounting Firm; (ii) each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the resolution process so that the disputed items can be resolved within forty-five (45) calendar days of submission of the disputed items to the Designated Accounting Firm; (iii) the determination by the Designated Accounting Firm, as set forth in a written notice to Purchaser and the Company, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties; and (iv) the fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company and Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective Party incurring such expense. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve any item in dispute by making an adjustment to the Earn-Out Statement that is outside of the range for such item defined by the Earn-Out Statement and an Earn-Out Dispute Notice. In calculating the Earn-Out Amount, the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only those particular disputes referred to in an Earn-Out Dispute Notice. (c) For the avoidance of doubt, an Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and the Company upon the earliest of (i) the failure of the Company to deliver to Purchaser an Earn-Out Dispute Notice within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of such Earn-Out Statement to the Company; (ii) the resolution of all disputes by Purchaser and the Company, documented in a writing executed by the Parties; and (iii) the resolution of all disputes by the Designated Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.03(b). (d) The Parties understand and agree that (i) any sale event (including stock purchase or all of substantially all of the respective stock, asset purchase or all of substantially all of the respective assets, merger, combination, exclusive license having the effect of a sale or other change of control, whether direct or indirect, whether by operation of law or otherwise) involving Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing shall (A) not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Section 2.03, and (B) require, as a condition precedent to such sale event, that the acquiror or surviving corporation, as the case may be, assume (whether expressly or by operation of law) this Agreement as part of the sale event and be liable for the payment of all amounts under this Section 2.03, and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to any applicable withholding Tax or as provided in Article VIII with respect to indemnification obligations of the Company and Parent, that the Earn-Out Amount payable hereunder shall be made without any deduction, abatement, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever. (e) During an Earn-Out Period, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, act in bad faith with respect to attaining any Revenue for the purpose of reducing the Earn-Out Amount.
Earn-Out 4.1 In addition to the Purchase Price the Seller shall be entitled to an earn-out calculated as 23.2% of the total revenue (including exported and cross border gross revenue) from client engagements that is (a) attributable to work originated by any employee employed by the Company at the Closing Date, including but not limited to the Seller’s Indirect Shareholders and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and (b) recognized during the Earn-Out Period in accordance with Danish GAAP, less (i) reimbursable expenses (e.g. travel expense) with respect to the engagements comprised by items (a) and (b) above to the extent actually paid by the Buyer, the Company or their Affiliates on behalf of client and (ii) any amount of a receivable included in the Final Working Capital not paid to the Company by a debtor. 4.2 The Buyer shall deliver the Earn-Out Statement to the Seller no later than sixty Business Days after the end of the Earn-Out Period. If the Buyer fails to deliver the Earn-Out Statement to the Seller within such time limit, the Buyer shall, from and including the 11th Business Day after the time limit and until delivery of the Earn-Out Statement, pay to the Seller an interest equal to the Interest accruing on the finally determined Earn-Out Amount. 4.3 The Seller shall within fifteen (15) Business Days from the receipt of the Earn-Out Statement notify the Buyer in writing whether it accepts or object to the Earn-Out Statement. The Seller’s failure to notify the Buyer within the time limit will be regarded as the Seller’s acceptance of the Earn-Out Statement. 4.4 If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Buyer’s receipt of the Seller’s notification pursuant to clause 4.3, either Party may demand that the calculation of the Earn-Out Amount is referred to and determined by the Expert in accordance with Clause 10.5 to 10.7 which shall apply mutatis mutandis. 4.5 The Earn-Out Amount shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller’s Bank Account within five (5) Business Days from the Buyer’s receipt of the Seller’s accept of the Earn-Out Statement or the Expert’s determination of the Earn-Out Amount. The Earn-Out Amount shall accrue Interest from its due date to the date when it is paid together with any accrued Interest. 4.6 The Buyer is not entitled to terminate the employment of any of Seller’s Indirect Shareholder’s in the Earn-Out Period unless the employee in question is in material breach of his/her contract resulting in a dismissal without notice (in Danish “Bortvisning”) of the employee.

(iii) Solely for purposes of this Section 7.03(g), “Economic Cost”, means, with respect to a Class B Member, such Member’s direct or indirect Percentage Interest of any Company cash or other Company asset that is distributed in a non-pro rata distribution to fund all or any portion of any Earn-Out Payment; provided, that, “Economic Cost” shall not include any diminution in value, lost profits or similar cost not relating to the immediate economic effect of the applicable non-pro-rata distribution.
