Earnout (a) The Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders earnout payments, each in an amount equal to seventy percent (70%) of Earnout Period Revenues generated in each Earnout Period, in accordance with this Section 3.6 (each such payment, an “Earnout Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6(a), in no event shall the aggregate Earnout Payments payable hereunder be less than zero or greater than Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,800,000).
(b) Within ninety (90) days following the end of the First Earnout Period and the Second Earnout Period, as the case may be, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholders a report setting forth its calculation of the Earnout Payment for such applicable Earnout Period, including a statement of the Earnout Period Revenues for such applicable Earnout Period (the “Earnout Report”). The Purchaser shall provide a reasonable level of supporting documentation for the Earnout Payment and any additional information reasonably requested by the Shareholders related thereto together with the Earnout Report. The Earnout Payment for the applicable Earnout Period shall represent only a right to receive a cash payment from the Purchaser, subject to the terms set forth herein, and shall not be deemed an interest in any security or certificate or entitle the holders thereof to any rights of any kind other than as specifically set forth herein. No interest is payable with respect to any Earnout Payment to the extent timely paid when due.
(c) The Shareholders shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the applicable Earnout Report delivered pursuant to Section 3.6(b) during which to notify the Purchaser of any dispute of any item contained therein or related thereto, which notice shall set forth in detail the basis for such dispute. The Purchaser and the Shareholders shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible. Upon such resolution, a Final Earnout Report shall be prepared in accordance with the agreement of the Purchaser and the Shareholders and the calculation of the applicable Earnout Payment, if any, based thereon, shall constitute the applicable Final Earnout Payment and be final and binding upon the Parties. In the event the Shareholders do not notify the Purchaser of any such dispute within such thirty (30)-day period or notify the Purchaser within such period that they do not dispute any item contained therein, the applicable Earnout Report delivered pursuant to Section 3.6(b) shall constitute the Final Earnout Report with respect to such Earnout Period and the Purchaser’s calculation of the applicable Earnout Payment, if any, based thereon shall be final and binding upon the Parties.
(d) In the event the Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to resolve any dispute regarding an Earnout Report delivered pursuant to Section 3.6(b) within thirty (30) days following the Purchaser’s receipt of notice of such dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by, an Accounting Referee. In resolving any such dispute, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in or related to the Earnout Report as to which the Shareholder has disagreed. The Accounting Referee’s determination of the Earnout Report and the Earnout Payment, if any, based thereon shall constitute the applicable Final Earnout Report and Final Earnout Payment and shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties shall direct the Accounting Referee to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within thirty (30) days following its engagement. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be shared equally by the Shareholders and the Purchaser.
(e) The Parties acknowledge that there is no assurance that the Shareholders will have the right to receive any Earnout Payment and Purchaser has not promised or projected any particular Earnout Payment. The earnout opportunity in this Section 3.6 is presented under the understanding that the Purchaser will have full control and direction over the Company and its business following the Closing, including decisions regarding strategic initiatives, management, legal structure, finance and accounting, marketing and branding and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6(e), during the Earnout Period, the Purchaser shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates to, terminate the Earnout Contract and enter into a separate Contract with the Earnout Customer or any of its Affiliates for utilization management services for the purpose or effect of avoiding or reducing its obligations with respect to the Earnout Payments hereunder.
(f) All payments made pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be treated by the Parties for tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
Date Increment Due Increments shall accrue and become due and payable on the next day following completion of required service as an employee in the class, unless otherwise provided herein.
Termination Date, Etc “Termination Date” shall mean in the case of the Executive’s death, his date of death, or in all other cases, the date specified in the Notice of Termination subject to the following:
Earn-Out In addition to the Closing Purchase Price, the earn-out amounts set forth below can be earned and shall be paid, if earned, to Sellers.
(a) Up to an aggregate of One Million Three Hundred Thirty Three Thousand Dollars ($1,333,000) (the “Annual Maximum”) can be earned based on the AEBITDA of the Sellers’ Operations during each of the twelve (12) month periods (each a “Measurement Period”) ending June 30 of 2011 through and including 2015.
(i) If the AEBITDA for any applicable Measurement Period is equal to or greater than the Target AEBITDA, then earn-out amount for such Measurement Period shall be equal to the Annual Maximum for such Measurement Period and such amount shall be deemed earned as of the expiration of such Measurement Period and be payable by Purchaser to Sellers as and when provided in Section 2.7(c) hereof.
(ii) If the AEBITDA for any applicable Measurement Period is less than the Target AEBITDA, then the earn-out amount for such Measurement Period shall be equal to (A) the Annual Maximum for such Measurement Period, minus (B) the amount by which the actual AEBITDA for such Measurement Period is less than the Target AEBITDA, and such amount shall be deemed earned as of the expiration of such Measurement Period and be payable by Purchaser to Sellers as and when provided in Section 2.7(c) hereof.
(iii) Subject to Section 2.7(b) hereof, if the AEBITDA for any applicable Measurement Period is zero or negative then no earn-out amount for such Measurement Period shall be deemed earned or be payable by Purchasers to Sellers.
(b) If the Annual Maximum is not earned for any of the first four (4) Measurement Periods, then up to Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000) of the amount not earned may be recaptured (the “Recapture Maximum”) to the extent that the AEBITDA in the immediately subsequent Measurement Period is greater than the Target AEBITDA, in which case, the amount of the recapture earn-out shall be equal to the amount that the applicable AEBITDA exceeds the Target AEBITDA on a dollar for dollar basis, up to the Recapture Maximum for such immediately subsequent Measurement Period. Similarly, if the Annual Maximum is not earned in any of the final four (4) Measurement Periods, then up to Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000) of the amount not earned may carried forward (the “Carry-forward Maximum”) to the extent that the AEBITDA in the immediately prior Measurement Period is greater than the Target AEBITDA, in which case, the amount of the carry forward earn-out shall be equal to the amount that the applicable AEBITDA exceeded the Target AEBITDA in the prior period on a dollar for dollar basis, up to the Carry-forward Maximum for such immediately prior Measurement Period. Any such recapture earn-out amount or carry-forward earn-out amount for any applicable Measurement Period shall be in addition to any earn-out amount earned by Sellers pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i) hereof for such applicable Measurement Period and shall be payable by Purchaser to Sellers as and when provided in Section 2.7(c)If the Annual Maximum is not earned for any of the first four (4) Measurement Periods, then up to Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000) of the amount not earned may be recaptured (the “Recapture Maximum”) to the extent that the AEBITDA in the subsequent Measurement Period is greater than the Target AEBITDA, in which case, the amount of the recapture earn-out shall be equal to the amount that the applicable AEBITDA exceeds the Target AEBITDA on a dollar for dollar basis, up to the Recapture Maximum for such Measurement Period. Any such recapture earn-out amount for any Measurement Period shall be in addition to any earn-out amount earned by Sellers pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i) hereof for such Measurement Period and shall be payable by Purchaser to Sellers as and when provided in Section 2.7(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total aggregate recapture earn-out and/or carry-forward earn-out for all measurement periods exceed Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000). By way of illustration only, if AEBITDA (x) for the first Measurement Period is $100,000 less than the Target AEBITDA, (y) for the second Measurement Period exceeds the Target AEBITDA by $350,000, and (z) for the third Measurement Period is $200,000 less than the Target AEBITDA, then Sellers shall be entitled to the following: for the first Measurement Period, the Annual Maximum earn-out, less $100,000 (i.e., a dollar for dollar reduction by the amount that the actual AEBITDA for the first Measurement Period is less than the Target AEBITDA); for second Measurement Period, the Annual Maximum earn-out, plus a recapture earn-out of $100,000 (i.e., a dollar for dollar recapture (up to the maximum aggregate recapture and carry-forward earn-out amount for all Measurement Periods of $266,000) by the amount that the AEBITDA for the second Measurement Period exceeded the Target AEBITDA as a recapture for the first Measurement Period by the amount that the Annual Maximum was not earned for the first Measurement Period); and for the third Measurement Period, the Annual Maximum earn-out, less $200,000 (i.e., a dollar for dollar reduction by the amount that the actual AEBITDA for the third Measurement Period was less than the Target AEBITDA), plus a carry-forward earn-out amount of $166,000 (i.e., a dollar for dollar carry-forward (up to the maximum aggregate recapture and carry-forward earn-out for all Measurement Periods amount of $266,000) by the amount that the AEBITDA for the second Measurement Period exceeded the Target AEBITDA as a carry-forward for the third Measurement Period by the amount that the Annual Maximum was not earned for the third Measurement Period, but limited so that the total aggregate recapture earn-out paid for the first Measurement Period and the carry-forward earn-out for the third Measurement Period does not exceed $266,000.00).
(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 2.7(b) hereof, each earn-out amount (and/or recapture or carry-forward earn-out amounts) for each Measurement Period will stand alone and shall be achieved, if at all, and be calculated separately based upon the AEBITDA for such Measurement Period. Each earn-out amount earned by Sellers for any Measurement Period pursuant to Section 2.7(a) hereof, together with any recapture or carry-forward earn-out amounts earned by Sellers for such Measurement Period pursuant to Section 2.7(b) hereof, shall be paid by Purchaser to Sellers within sixty (60) days after the applicable Measurement Period ends (except that the for the last Measurement Period, such payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Medicare Cap Year immediately following such Measurement Period, or such earlier date as Purchaser and Sellers may mutually agree) (each, an “Earn-Out Payment Date”) by wire transfer to the accounts set forth on Schedule 2.7(c), and the allocation such earn-out amounts among Sellers shall be in accordance with Schedule 2.3 regardless of the amount that each Seller’s former Operations contributed to the AEBITDA. Sellers acknowledge and agree that the achievement of any earn-out amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7 is contingent upon the AEBITDA with respect to Seller’s Operations as a whole after the Closing Date and neither Purchaser nor its Representatives is guaranteeing that any level of AEBITDA will be achieved or that any of the earn-out amounts will be earned by Sellers.
(d) On or before each applicable Earn-Out Payment Date, Purchaser shall deliver Sellers’ Representative a written notice stating the amount, if any, of the applicable earn-out amount deemed earned during any applicable Measurement Period as determined by Purchaser (each an “Earn-Out Notice”), together with a reasonably detailed calculation of AEBITDA for the applicable Measurement Period. In the event Sellers’ Representative objects to any earn-out amount set forth an Earn-Out Notice, Sellers’ Representative must deliver to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of the date of such Earn-Out Notice a written notice setting forth the basis for such objections (an “Objection Notice”). If Sellers’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice, Purchaser and Sellers shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the applicable earn-out amount. If Purchaser and Sellers so agree in writing to the applicable earn-out amount, Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days of reaching such agreement pay to Sellers any additional amounts agreed upon. If, however, no agreement is reached after good-faith negotiations, either Purchaser or Sellers may demand arbitration of the dispute and the matters shall be resolved by confidential arbitration conducted by three independent arbitrators, one selected by Purchaser, one selected by Sellers, and the third (who must be independent of the parties hereto) selected jointly by the two arbitrators previously so selected. All arbitrators must be members of the CPR National Panel or CPR California Panel. The arbitrators shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery of information relating to any dispute while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate as determined in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators shall rule upon motions to compel, limit or allow discovery as they shall deem appropriate given the nature and extent of the disputed claim. The arbitrators shall also have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by the parties, to the same extent as a court of law or equity, if the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to by a party without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators as to the earn-out amount related to the applicable Earn-Out Notice shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the dispute, which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order of the arbitrators. Judgment upon any award, judgment, decree or order rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in the City and County of Orange, California under the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration then currently in effect. The non-prevailing party (as determined by the arbitrators) to any arbitration under this Section 2.7 shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative costs of the arbitration and the expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the other party to the arbitration. Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of any additional earn-out amount deemed earned by the arbitrators within five (5) business days of notice of the arbitrators decision. If Sellers are the determined to be the non-prevailing party, Purchaser may deduct the fees of the arbitrators, the administrative costs of the arbitration and the expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by Purchaser out any amounts then owing to Sellers hereunder prior to payment of such amounts to Sellers. Any remaining amounts owing by Sellers to Purchaser on account of the fees of the arbitrators, the administrative costs of the arbitration and the expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by Purchaser, after any such deduction of amounts then owing by Purchaser to Sellers hereunder (if applicable), shall be paid by Sellers to Purchaser within five (5) business days of notice of the arbitrators decision.
Adjusted EBITDA The 2019 adjusted EBITDA for the Affiliated Club Sellers shall total an aggregate of not less than $10,700,000.
Minimum Cash Balance Licensee shall fund the Facility Checking Account --------------------- with an initial amount equal to $25,000.00 and thereafter Licensee shall provide the working capital required by Section I(H) of this Agreement
Earnout Payment (i) As promptly as practicable after the end of the Earnout Period, but in no event later than 60 days following December 31, 2005, Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Agent with a report, setting forth the Net Revenues for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2005 (the “Earnout Report”). If an Earnout Dispute Notice is not delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iii) below, then in no event later than 105 days following December 31, 2005, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid the Earnout Payment Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to the right of offset provisions of Sections 2.4(a), (b) and (d).
(ii) Parent shall keep full, clear and accurate books and records with respect to the Business. The books and records shall be maintained in such a manner that Net Revenue shall be readily verifiable. All books and records with respect to the Business shall be available for inspection by the Stockholders’ Agent or any attorney or accountant engaged by the Stockholders’ Agent to act on behalf of the Holders, in all cases upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours. The information contained in the books and records of Parent with respect to the Business shall remain confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request of the Stockholders’ Agent, Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Agent with a report reflecting the estimate of the Net Revenue to date (which estimate is subject to change in the preparation of the Earnout Report) as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided that the Stockholders’ Agent may only make such a request once every six months commencing on July 1, 2005. If the Stockholders’ Agent does not deliver to Parent an Earnout Dispute Notice (as defined below) as set forth in Section 2.4(c)(iii) below, then the Earnout Report for the Earnout Period shall be deemed final and binding and neither the Stockholders’ Agent nor the Holders shall have any further right to contest the report, the computation of Net Revenue or payment of the Earnout Payment Amount.
(iii) In the event that the Stockholders’ Agent shall dispute the information set forth by Parent in the Earnout Report or, if based on the Stockholders’ Agent’s review of the books and records of the Business in accordance with subsection (c)(ii) above, omitted from the Earnout Report, as the case may be, then, within 60 calendar days following the date of the delivery by Parent of such report, the Stockholders’ Agent shall provide written notice to Parent (the “Earnout Dispute Notice”) specifying the amount disputed and the basis for the dispute, together with supporting documentation reflecting the analysis of and justification for any recomputation made. Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent shall make good faith efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiations for a period of 30 calendar days following the receipt of the written notice defining and describing the nature of the dispute. In the event that the parties are unable to finally resolve the dispute within such 30 calendar-day period, the parties to the dispute may elect by mutual agreement to extend the period of negotiation and may elect by mutual agreement to engage a mediator to assist in such negotiation. To the extent that any matter remains unresolved following negotiations (as determined by notice by any party to the other parties), the Stockholders’ Agent and Parent shall jointly select an independent accountant of recognized national standing to resolve any remaining disagreements, which independent accountant shall not have provided services to the Stockholders’ Agent, the Company or Parent or its affiliates during the five-year period preceding the date of its selection (the “Independent Accountant”). The Stockholders’ Agent and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Independent Accountant to make its determination within 60 calendar days of accepting its selection. Within 10 business days after the date of determination of such Independent Accountant, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Holders the Earnout Payment Amount, if any, in the manner set forth herein, subject to the right of offset provisions of Sections 2.4(a), (b) and (d). The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be a final, binding, and conclusive resolution of the parties’ dispute, shall be non-appealable, and shall not be subject to further review. Irrespective of the Independent Accountant’s decision, the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be split equally between the parties. In the event that the Stockholders’ Agent does not pay the full amount of one-half of the Independent Accountant’s costs and expenses, Parent shall be entitled to deduct the difference between one-half of the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant and the amount actually paid by the Stockholders’ Agent to the Independent Accountant from the Earnout Payment Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any case, the parties shall be responsible for the payment of their respective costs and expenses, including any attorneys’ and accountants’ fees (other than any accountants’ fees payable to the Independent Accountant, which shall be split equally between the parties) incurred in connection with the dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any case, the parties shall be responsible for the payment of their respective costs and expenses, including any attorneys’ and accountants’ fees (other than any accountants’ fees payable to the Independent Accountant, which shall be split equally between the parties) incurred in connection with the dispute.
(iv) The Holders will be deemed to, as part of their approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein and herein, and the Stockholders’ Agent hereby, generally, irrevocably, unconditionally and completely agree that (1) the Company and Parent (as the controlling stockholder of the Company as of the Effective Time of the Merger) and each of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to operate the Business after the Effective Time as they determine in their sole and absolute discretion, and shall have no obligation to operate the Business in any manner that would maximize, maintain or protect the value of the Common Stock CVRs and the Preferred Stock CVRs, and as a result of such operation of the Business, there may be a diminution in or elimination of the value of the CVRs, (2) the Common Stock CVRs and the Preferred Stock CVRs represent contractual obligations of Parent, and none of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates owes any fiduciary duty of any type (including, without limitation, any duty of loyalty or care) to any Holder of Common Stock CVRs and/or Preferred Stock CVRs, and (3) each of the Holders and the Stockholders’ Agent shall be prohibited from asserting any dispute, right, claim, action, cause of action, controversy or remedy of any kind and nature against any of the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates resulting from the operation of the Business after the Effective Time or resulting from any allegation of breach of fiduciary duty of any nature, other than claims for fraud or intentional misconduct (and other than the right of the Stockholders’ Agent to dispute the Closing Balance Sheet Payment under Section 2.4(b)(iii) and/or the Earnout Report under Section 2.4(c)(iii) above). Upon either (A) the occurrence of an allegation by the Stockholders’ Agent of any claim which may arise for fraud or intentional misconduct under this subsection (iv) or (B) the receipt by the Stockholders’ Agent of written notice made in accordance with Section 1.3 by any Holder to the Stockholders’ Agent of the occurrence of any claim which such Holder has a good faith belief has arisen for fraud or intentional misconduct under this subsection (iv) (in each case, a “Claim”), the Stockholders’ Agent shall provide notice of such Claim to Parent, stating, to the best of his or her understanding, the circumstances giving rise to the Claim, specifying the amount of the Claim and making a request for any payment then believed due (the “Notice”). Upon receipt of any such Notice by Parent, within the next 45 days thereafter, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached between the parties within such 45-day period, the Stockholders’ Agent may submit the dispute for resolution by a panel of three arbitrators selected from the panels of arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association in Santa Xxxxx County, California; provided, however, that (i) one arbitrator shall be selected by the Stockholders’ Agent, the second arbitrator shall be selected by Parent and the third arbitrator shall be selected by the two previously selected arbitrators and (ii) in all respects, such panel shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association’s then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules. If it is finally determined that all or a portion of such Claim amount is owed to the Holders, Parent shall, within 10 days of such determination, pay the Holders such amount owed, together with interest from the date that the Stockholders’ Agent initially requested such payment until the date of actual payment, at an annual rate equal to the prime interest rate then generally in effect on the date of payment as set forth in The Wall Street Journal. The arbitration panel’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by any party. The parties shall be responsible for their respective fees and costs (including any attorneys’ or accountants’ fees) incurred in connection with the arbitration. EACH HOLDER AND THE STOCKHOLDERS’ AGENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE FOR FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT UNDER THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT UNDER THE PRECEDING SENTENCE.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.4(c), in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below) of Parent before December 31, 2005, the Aggregate Earnout Payment Amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be at least $14,000,000 regardless of the actual Net Revenue recognized during the Earnout Period, subject, however, to the offset provisions of Section 2.4(a), (b) and (d). In event of a Change of Control of Parent as set forth herein, Parent shall make proper provisions so that the continuing or surviving corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to pay the Aggregate Earnout Payment Amount as set forth herein. For purposes of this Section 2.4(c)(v), a “Change of Control” shall mean (1) the consummation of any transaction, including without limitation, any merger or consolidation, pursuant to which any of the voting stock of Parent is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any transaction where the voting stock of Parent outstanding immediately prior to such transaction is converted into or exchanged for voting stock of the surviving or transferee entity constituting more than 50% of such voting stock of such surviving or transferee entity (immediately after giving effect to such issuance) and other than an acquisition of Parent in which the management of Parent participates in ten percent or more of the fully-diluted equity of the acquiror; or (2) a sale of all or substantially all of Parent’s assets.
Minimum Adjusted EBITDA Borrower shall maintain a minimum trailing six-month Adjusted EBITDA minus dividend distributions (other than tax distributions), as of such test date, of at least the greater of (a) $75,000,000 and (b) an amount equal to 75% of the trailing six-month Adjusted EBITDA minus dividend distributions (other than tax distributions), for the immediately preceding six-month period, tested semi-annually, commencing September 30, 2024, and continuing on each subsequent March 31 and September 30.
Minimum Consolidated EBITDA The Borrower will not permit Modified Consolidated EBITDA, for any Test Period ending at the end of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower set forth below, to be less than the amount set forth opposite such fiscal quarter: Fiscal Quarter Amount September 30, 1997 $36,000,000 December 31, 1997 $36,000,000 March 31, 1998 $36,000,000 June 30, 1998 $37,000,000 September 30, 1998 $37,000,000 December 31, 1998 $38,000,000 March 31, 1999 $38,000,000 June 30, 1999 $39,000,000 September 30, 1999 $40,000,000 December 31, 1999 $41,000,000 March 31, 2000 $41,000,000 June 30, 2000 $42,000,000 September 30, 2000 $43,000,000 December 31, 2000 $44,000,000 March 31, 2001 $44,000,000 June 30, 2001 $45,000,000 September 30, 2001 $46,000,000 December 31, 2001 $47,000,000 March 31, 2002 $47,000,000
Earnout Payments (a) The Constituents shall be eligible to receive earnout consideration up to a maximum of three million dollars ($3,000,000) for all such earnout payments, based on the performance of the Surviving Corporation following the Closing as set forth in this Section 1.7.
(i) For the period beginning immediately after the Closing and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing (the “First Earnout Period”), the Constituents shall receive $3 for every $1 of Post-Closing Net Income in excess of one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Adjusted Forecast for such First Earnout Period (the “First Earnout Period Payment”).
(ii) For the period beginning on the day after the first anniversary of the Closing and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing (the “Second Earnout Period”), the Constituents shall receive $3 for every $1 of Post-Closing Net Income in excess of one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Adjusted Forecast for such Second Earnout Period until the Post-Closing Net Income results in an aggregate of $1.5 million of earnout consideration being earned during the Second Earnout Period (such amount of Post-Closing Net Income, the “Second Earnout Threshold”), at which point the amount earned thereafter shall change to $1.50 for every $1 of Post-Closing Net Income in excess of the Second Earnout Threshold for such Second Earnout Period (collectively, the “Second Earnout Period Payment”).
(b) Earnout amounts shall be calculated promtly after the preparation of the Parent’s financial statements following the accounting period in which the end of such earnout period occurs. The First Earnout Period Payment, if any, shall be deposited with Escrow Agent and made part of the Escrow Amount. The calculation of the amount earned in the First Earnout Period Payment or Second Earnout Period Payment, as the case may be, may be referred to as the “Earnout Payment” for such period. Such Earnout Payments shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent or paid to the Constituents in accordance with Section 1.5(a), as the case may be, within the later of (i) ninety (90) days after the Parent’s delivery to the Stockholder Representatives of the applicable Earnout Certificate, or (ii) if disputed pursuant to Section 1.7(f) below, ten (10) Business Days after final determination of the applicable Earnout Payment pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.7(f).

(d) In no case shall the aggregate amounts paid pursuant to this Section 1.7 exceed $3 million.
(e) As soon as reasonably practicable following Parent’s determination of the Earnout Payment for each of the First Earnout Period and Second Earnout Period (but in no event prior to the date the Parent’s financial statements for the periods to which such Earnout Payments relate have been publicly disclosed by Parent), Parent will deliver to the Stockholder Representatives (i) a statement that includes each element of the calculation of the Earnout Payment; and (ii) a certificate of the Parent’s Chief Financial Officer certifying on behalf of the Parent that the calculation of the Earnout Payment was made in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.7 (such statement and certificate being referred to as the “Earnout Certificate”). The Stockholder Representatives and their professional advisors will be given reasonable access to only those books and records of the Surviving Corporation that are necessary to confirm the calculation of the Earnout Payment. All information obtained by the Stockholder Representatives shall be deemed to be confidential information of the Parent subject to the restrictions of the Confidentiality Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit I.
