Distribution Assistance Fees (Asset-Based Sales Charge) Within ten (10) days of the end of each month or at such other period as deemed appropriate by the Distributor, the Fund will make payments in the aggregate amount of up to 0.75% on an annual basis of the average during the month of the aggregate net asset value of Shares computed as of the close of each business day (the “Asset-Based Sales Charge”) outstanding until such Shares are redeemed or converted to another class of shares of the Fund, provided, however, that a majority of the Independent Trustees may, but are not obligated to, set a time period (the “Fund Maximum Holding Period”) from time to time for such payments. Such Asset-Based Sales Charge payments received from the Fund will compensate the Distributor for providing distribution assistance in connection with the sale of Shares. The distribution assistance to be rendered by the Distributor in connection with the Shares may include, but shall not be limited to, the following: (i) paying sales commissions to any broker, dealer, bank or other person or entity that sells Shares, and/or paying such persons “Advance Service Fee Payments” (as defined below) in advance of, and/or in amounts greater than, the amount provided for in Section 3(b) of this Agreement; (ii) paying compensation to and expenses of personnel of the Distributor who support distribution of Shares by Recipients; (iii) obtaining financing or providing such financing from its own resources, or from an affiliate, for the interest and other borrowing costs of the Distributor's unreimbursed expenses incurred in rendering distribution assistance and administrative support services to the Fund; and (iv) paying other direct distribution costs, including without limitation the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other than those prospectuses furnished to current holders of the Fund's shares ("Shareholders")) and state "blue sky" registration expenses.
Earn-Out Payment As part of the Consideration, the Acquirer shall cause the REIT to pay to the Contributor (or its designee), within sixty (60) days after the "Calculation Date" (as defined below), an amount equal to the Earn-Out Payment (as calculated below); provided, however, that the amount of the Earn-Out Payment shall not exceed $1,800,000. If during the period beginning on the date on which the Project is open for business and available for use by paying overnight guests and ending on the date which is thirty-six (36) full calendar months after the last day of the month in which such opening date occurs (the "Calculation Date") the cumulative "Operating Profit" for the Project (as that term is defined in that certain Management Agreement to be entered into as of Closing (the "Management Agreement") between the TRS Affiliate (as defined below) and Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc.) is more than $9,500,000, then the Earn-Out Payment shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference between (a) the actual amount of the cumulative Operating Profit (as of the Calculation Date) for such 3-year period, and (b) $9,500,000. In the event the cumulative Operating Profit for such 3-year period is $9,500,000 or less, then no Earn-Out Payment shall be payable. If the Contributor is entitled to the Earn-Out Payment pursuant to this Section 1.3, then the Contributor (or its designee) shall receive the Earn-Out Payment in the form of Units, provided the Contributor (or its designee) continues to be an "accredited investor" as described herein. The number of Units delivered to the Contributor (or its designee) shall be equal to the calculated amount of the Earn-Out Payment divided by the average closing price per Common Share of the REIT for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the Calculation Date.
Earn-Out Payments (i) Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of joint written instructions (“Earn-Out Payment Instructions”) from the DT Representative (on behalf of Purchaser) and the Seller Representative that for any Earn-Out Year there has been a final determination in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Share Exchange Agreement (but subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Share Exchange Agreement) with respect to the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year or the Alternative Earn-Out Payment (the date that the Escrow Agent receives Earn-Out Payment Instructions with respect to any Earn-Out Year, an “Earn-Out Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall distribute Escrow Property from the Escrow Account in accordance with such Earn-Out Payment Instructions (A) to the Sellers in an amount equal to the Earn-Out Payment (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Accrued Dividends payable by the Purchaser separate from the Escrow Account) less the sum of (I) the Reserved Amount (as defined below) as of the date of such payment, and (II) the amount of any Indemnification Claims that have been paid from the Escrow Account prior to such time but have not previously been used to reduce the amount of any prior Earn-Out Payment (but net of any prior Earn-Out Payments that have not yet been paid and are still being retained in the Escrow Account as of such time for Indemnification Claims that are still Pending Claims as of such time), up to a maximum amount equal to such Earn-Out Payment, and (B), after the last Earn-Out Year only, to Purchaser any portion of any Earn-Out Payments that were not earned by the Sellers in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement. For the determination of the Escrow Shares to be withheld for the Reserved Amount, the Escrow Shares shall be valued at the Purchaser Share Price as of the applicable Earn-Out Release Date.
Distribution Assistance Fees (Asset-Based Sales Charge) Payments In its sole discretion and irrespective of whichever alternative method of making service fee payments to Recipients is selected by the Distributor, in addition the Distributor may make distribution assistance fee payments to a Recipient quarterly, or at such other interval as deemed appropriate by the Distributor, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter or other period, at a rate not to exceed 0.1875% (0.75% on an annual basis) of the average during the period of the aggregate net asset value of Shares computed as of the close of each business day constituting Qualified Holdings owned beneficially or of record by the Recipient or its Customers until such Shares are redeemed or converted to another class of shares of the Fund, provided, however, that a majority of the Independent Trustees may, but are not obligated to, set a time period (the "Recipient Maximum Holding Period") for making such payments. Distribution assistance fee payments shall be made only to Recipients that are registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer or are exempt from registration. The distribution assistance to be rendered by the Recipients in connection with the sale of Shares may include, but shall not be limited to, the following: distributing sales literature and prospectuses other than those furnished to current Shareholders, providing compensation to and paying expenses of personnel of the Recipient who support the distribution of Shares by the Recipient, and providing such other information and services in connection with the distribution of Shares as the Distributor or the Fund may reasonably request.
Award Distribution (a) In the event of any partial taking of any Leased Property, the entire Award shall belong to and be paid to Lessor, except that, subject to the rights of the Facility Mortgagees, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from the Award, if and to the extent such Award specifically includes such item, the following:
Cash Payment The Employee shall make cash payments by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Option Shares until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof.
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.
Total Shareholder Return (i) Up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the RSUs granted to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall vest, if at all, based upon the Total Shareholder Return for the Company, as compared to the Comparison Companies, for the Performance Period in the manner set forth on Exhibit 1-A hereto.
Cash Payments If the Executive should become a Retired Early Employee hereunder, the Bank shall, during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending two years thereafter (the "Pay-Out Period"), make equal monthly payments to the Executive (which shall not be deemed base annual salary payments) in an amount such that the present value of all such payments, determined as of the Effective Date, equals two hundred ninety-nine percent (299%) of the Base Amount, as such term is defined in subparagraph 6(f) below. If at any time during the Pay-Out Period the Arrow Board in its sole discretion shall determine, upon application of the Retired Early Employee supported by substantial evidence, that the Retired Early Employee is then under a severe financial hardship resulting from (i) a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Retired Early Employee or any of his dependents (as defined in section 152(a) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) loss of the Retired Early Employee's property due to casualty, or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstance arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Retired Early Employee, the Bank shall make available to the Retired Early Employee, in one (1) lump sum, an amount up to but not greater than the present value of all monthly payments remaining to be paid to him in the Pay-Out Period, calculated as of the date of such determination by the Arrow Board, for the purpose of relieving such severe financial hardship to the extent the same has not been or may not be relieved by (xi) reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (xii) liquidation of the Retired Early Employee's assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship), or (xiii) distributions from other benefit plans. If (a) the lump sum amount thus made available is less than (b) the present value of all such remaining monthly payments, the Bank shall continue to pay to the Retired Early Employee monthly payments for the duration of the Pay-Out Period, but from such date forward such monthly payments will be in a reduced amount such that the present value of all such reduced payments will equal the difference between (b) and (a), above. The Retired Early Employee may elect to waive any or all payments due him under this subparagraph.
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.
