Earn-Out Consideration (a) If the earnings before taxes (the "EBT") of the Company for the twelve months ending December 31, 1998, increased by amounts in respect of those items set forth on Schedule 2.5 that affected net income during the period from January 1, 1998 through the Closing Date and decreased by the amount of UniCapital corporate overhead allocated to the Company for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 1998 (the "Adjusted 1998 EBT"), exceeds the EBT of the Company for the twelve months ending December 31, 1997, inclusive of the add-backs set forth on Schedule 2.5 (the "Adjusted 1997 EBT"), then the Stockholders shall be entitled to receive one-half of the difference between the Adjusted 1998 EBT and the Adjusted 1997 EBT.
Other Distribution Fee by any Holder of ADS(s), a fee not in excess of U.S. $5.00 per 100 ADSs (or fraction thereof) held for the distribution of securities other than ADSs or rights to purchase additional ADSs (e.g., spin-off shares);
Escrow Amount At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller shall deposit Three Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Nine Dollars ($347,299) (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated account as security for Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 15 hereof. All interest accruing on the Escrow Amount shall be for the benefit of Seller. In the event Buyer makes a written claim or demand for indemnification under Section 15 hereof (an “Indemnification Claim”), and Seller does not dispute such Indemnification Claim, or is determined to be liable for and in respect of such Indemnification Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Escrow Agent promptly thereafter shall pay such Indemnification Claim in full to Buyer, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement. On the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.06 hereof), fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Amount then remaining in escrow under the Escrow Agreement and not then subject to an outstanding Indemnification Claim shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Seller. The Escrow Agreement shall expire upon the termination of the Survival Period (as defined in Section 15.01 hereof), and immediately thereafter the Escrow Agent shall pay the portion, if any, of the then remaining Escrow Amount not in dispute to Seller; provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, Buyer shall have made an Indemnification Claim or commenced litigation or any other proceeding on account of any such claim, the term of the Escrow Agreement shall be extended, and the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in escrow the portion of the then Escrow Amount in dispute, in each case until the final resolution of such Indemnification Claim or litigation or proceeding relating thereto, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement.

Merger Consideration Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person:
Cash Distribution Fee by any Holder of ADSs, a fee not in excess of U.S. $5.00 per 100 ADSs (or fraction thereof) held for the distribution of cash dividends or other cash distributions (e.g., upon a sale of rights and other entitlements);
Holdback Amount Escrow Agent shall hold back in escrow from Seller’s net proceeds at Closing an amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”). The sole purpose for which the Holdback Amount may be applied is as to any amounts which Seller owes to Purchaser for post-Closing claims to the extent allowed and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, the Holdback Amount is intended as a source of payment, but not as a limitation of damages that may be claimed by Purchaser. Except as to any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser which amounts are specifically reflected in a lawsuit commenced against Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for damages based upon the post-Closing claim, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Prior to institution of any such lawsuit, Purchaser shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, specifying the exact amount and nature of any such claim asserted by Purchaser against the Holdback Amount. Any lawsuit commenced against Seller must specifically set forth the exact amount which is claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser, and absent such specific amount being identified, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the entire Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve month (12) month period post-Closing. Any portion of the Holdback Amount which Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.10 after the passage of the twelve (12) month period, shall continue to be held in escrow pending final and unappealable dismissal or judgment in the action or actions timely commenced by Purchaser or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser obtains a final and unappealable judgment in any such action, Escrow Agent is directed to make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount retained in escrow in the amount of the judgment plus any interest, attorney’s fees, and costs to which it is entitled thereon upon presentation to Escrow Agent and Seller of the court order or other evidence of such final and unappealable judgment. Once all such actions are either finally or unappealably dismissed or a final and unappealable judgment is entered therein or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and any amount of damages due to Purchaser is paid, whether from the Holdback Amount or otherwise, Escrow Agent is directed to disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount. The parties shall execute any additional escrow instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing reasonably required by Escrow Agent or either party relating to the Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent’s fees and costs for holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.
Earnout Payment In addition to the Closing Payment Shares, if Madhouse meets certain performance requirements during a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2022 as set forth on Schedule II (the “Earnout Provisions”), then the Purchaser shall make the one-time payment (the “Earnout Payment”) determined in accordance with the Earnout Provisions, payable to the Seller and the long-term incentive plan (described below). As set forth in more detail in, and subject to, the Earnout Provisions, the Earnout Payment will be made in the form of (a) the Purchaser issuing to the Seller additional Purchaser Common Shares (the “Earnout Payment Shares”) in the amount calculated pursuant to the Earnout Provisions, (b) a cash payment, (c) a subordinated promissory note issued by the Purchaser to the Seller, or (d) a combination of the foregoing payment methods. The Earnout Payment shall be made by the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after a final determination of payment due to the Seller pursuant to this Section 3.1. The Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to perform its obligations set forth in the Earnout Provisions and to maintain the highest number of Purchaser Common Shares potentially issuable under the terms of the Earnout Provisions (which number shall not be less than 22,200,000) available for issuance with respect to Earnout Payment Shares without any restriction or limitation thereof, at all times after the Closing until all of the payment obligations set forth in the Earnout Provisions have been satisfied or have expired. The amount of the Earnout Payment (i) is subject to reduction as set forth in the Earnout Provisions and Article VIII and, (ii) as set forth in the Earnout Provisions, has been partially and irrevocably assigned by Seller to fund a long-term incentive plan to be established for the benefit of designated individuals employed by or associated with the Group Company business, in a manner that shall be determined in Seller’s discretion, provided that Seller shall not receive any portion of such assigned Earnout Payment.
Transaction Expense Amount Upon Closing, the Company shall pay Ten Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars (US$10,000.00) to Auctus Fund Management, LLC (“Auctus Management”) to cover the Holder’s due diligence, monitoring, and other transaction costs incurred for services rendered in connection herewith (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). The Transaction Expense Amount shall be offset against the proceeds of the Note and shall be paid to Auctus Management upon the execution hereof.
