Purchaser’s calculation of the Contingent Payment set forth in the Contingent Payment Statement shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement unless Seller delivers to Purchaser a written objection to such calculation within twenty (20) days following the date of delivery of the Contingent Payment Statement setting forth in reasonable detail Seller’s basis for its objection. In the event that Seller timely submits any such written objection, then Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their dispute with respect to the calculation of the Contingent Payment; provided, that if such dispute is not resolved within twenty (20) days after delivery of such written objection, then the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2.4(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

If Tax must be withheld / deducted, or any other Tax is payable in relation to indemnity payments, such additional amounts must be paid by the Indemnifying Party as may be necessary to ensure that the Indemnified Party receives a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have received had payment not been made subject to such Tax or withholding or deductions.

Any indemnity payments made by the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be effected by crediting for same day value the account specified by the Indemnified Party on behalf of the party entitled to the payment (reasonably in advance and in sufficient detail to enable payment by electronic transfer to be effected) on or before the due date for payment.
4.3. The Parties agree that the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified by the Company with respect to its indemnification event (in its capacity as the Indemnifying Party) and the amount of such indemnification payment shall be grossed-up by the Company to take into account the fact that the Indemnified Party as a shareholder of the Company may be indirectly paying a portion of such indemnification payment.

To the extent the payment by the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification payment pursuant to the provisions of Clause 7 (Indemnification) shall be subject to receipt of approvals from any Governmental Authority (if required), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be responsible for obtaining all such approvals from any Governmental Authority and shall make all applications and take all steps required to obtain the same. Alternatively, if mutually agreed between the Parties, with both Parties acting reasonably, the claim amount (that is, the Loss) shall be paid to any Affiliate or nominee of the Indemnified Party.

Earn-Out Payment (a) If, as of the close of business on September 30, 2019, the sum of (i) the total revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP) of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) resulting from sales of ECUs from the Closing up to and including September 30, 2019 (the “Product Revenue”) and (ii) the total dollar value of committed customer orders received by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) for ECUs that have been scheduled for delivery to such customer and represented by valid purchase orders as of the close of business on September 30, 2019 (the “Product Orders”) equals or exceeds $86,700,000 (the “Earn Out Benchmark”), Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount of $30,000,000; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of the Product Revenue and the Product Orders is less than the Earn Out Benchmark, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to (i) $30,000,000 multiplied by (ii) the percentage of the Earn Out Benchmark represented by the aggregate amount of the Product Revenue and the Product Orders, all as more particularly set forth in this Section 2.7. Any payment due under this Section 2.7 is referred to herein as the “Earn Out Payment” and is subject to Purchaser’s right of offset set forth in Section 10.3(i).
(b) Within 60 days of the expiration of the Earn Out Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, with reasonable detail, its calculation of the Earn Out Payment, if any, and the components thereof. The Earn Out Payment shall be determined and calculated in accordance with GAAP. Following receipt of the calculation of the Earn Out Payment, if any, Seller shall be afforded a period of 30 days to review the same. To assist in any such review, Purchaser shall reasonably make available to Seller, upon request and during normal business hours, worksheets and other papers prepared in connection with the preparation of the calculation of the Earn Out Payment and the components thereof. At or before the end of the 30-day review period (the “Earn Out Review Period”), Seller shall either accept the calculation of the applicable Earn Out Payment or deliver to Purchaser a written notice disputing the same (a “Earn Out Dispute Notice”) setting forth a reasonable description of Seller’s objections and the amount of the adjustment to the Earn Out Payment which Seller believes should be made. Any items not identified within the Earn Out Dispute Notice shall be considered final and binding upon the Parties. If Purchaser’s calculation of the Earn Out Payment reflects that the Earn Out Payment is due to Seller and Seller objects in the Earn Out Dispute Notice that such calculated amount is too small, then, within five Business Days following Seller’s delivery of the Earn Out Dispute Notice, Purchaser shall pay to Seller Purchaser’s calculated amount of such Earn Out Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions given by Seller to Purchaser, and the Parties shall proceed with the provisions of Section 2.7(c) as to the amount of the additional Earn Out Payment Seller believes is due to Seller. If no Earn Out Dispute Notice is delivered within the Earn Out Review Period, then the calculation of the Earn Out Payment shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller.
(c) In the event that an Earn Out Dispute Notice is delivered in accordance with Section 2.7(b), Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve the objections set forth therein within 30 days of Purchaser’s receipt of such Earn Out Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve all of the objections set forth in the Earn Out Dispute Notice within such 30-day period, any remaining objections related to the calculation of the Earn Out Payment shall be finally resolved by the Arbitrating Accountant who shall resolve any remaining disagreements in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.6(b), (c) and (d) mutatis mutandis. Purchaser and Seller shall fully cooperate with the Arbitrating Accountant. The decision of the Arbitrating Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, except in the case of manifest error.
(d) Upon final determination of the amount of the Earn Out Payment in accordance with Section 2.7(b) or Section 2.7(d) (the “Determination Date”), Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Earn Out Payment, as applicable, as finally determined within five Business Days of the Determination Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions given by Seller to Purchaser.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Product Revenue following the Closing and prior to September 30, 2019 exceeds the Earn Out Benchmark, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller $30,000,000 within ten days after the end of the calendar month in which the Product Revenue first exceeds the Earn Out Benchmark, and thereafter no additional payments will be required pursuant to this Section 2.7. Any payment due under this Section 2.7(e) is subject to Purchaser’s right of offset set forth in Section 10.3(i).
(f) From the Closing Date until September 30, 2019 (the “Earn Out Period”), Purchaser covenants and agrees to the following: (i) Purchaser shall keep records sufficient to calculate the Earn Out Payment; (ii) upon Seller’s request during normal business hours, Purchaser shall reasonably make available to Seller and its advisors the records, worksheets and other supporting workpapers prepared in connection with the calculation of the Earn Out Payment for any period covered by this Agreement; (iii) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) shall take any action that is primarily intended to impede Seller’s ability to earn the maximum Earn Out Payment; and (iv) Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) shall operate the Business during the Earn Out Period in a commercially reasonable manner; provided, however, if the Earn Out Payment is paid to Seller prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period as set forth in Section 2.7(e), Purchaser’s obligations set forth in this Section 2.7(f) shall terminate on the date the Earn Out Payment is paid to Seller. For purposes of this Section 2.7(f), “commercially reasonable manner” means, among other things, providing the Business with a level of administrative, development, maintenance, internal or outsourced manufacturing, quality, sales and marketing support that is consistent with the support currently being provided to the Business by Seller and providing the Business with working capital funding that is appropriate for a business of the Business’ size and industry.
