Milestone Payments In the event that any Sellers believe that any Additional Milestone has been achieved during the Post-Closing Milestone Period, the Sellers’ Representative shall provide notice of such achievement to Purchaser. If Purchaser determines in its sole and reasonable discretion that such Additional Milestone has been achieved during the Post-Closing Milestone Period, then within thirty (30) days of such notice from Sellers’ Representative or, if earlier, within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s determination that such Additional Milestone has been achieved, Purchaser shall notify Sellers’ Representative of its determination and pay to Sellers the Additional Milestone Payment payable in respect of such Additional Milestone. If Sellers’ Representative delivers such a notice and Purchaser determines, in its sole and reasonable discretion, that the applicable Additional Milestone has not been achieved, then, within thirty (30) days of Sellers’ Representative’s notice Purchaser shall notify Sellers’ Representative of such determination. If Sellers’ Representative believes that Sellers are entitled to payment of all or any portion of an Additional Milestone Payment hereunder which they have not received within thirty (30) days following the achievement of the Additional Milestone for which payment is due, Sellers’ Representative may, not later than twelve (12) months following the achievement of such Additional Milestone, deliver to Purchaser a notice setting forth Sellers’ Representative’s determination that all or a portion of such Additional Milestone Payment is due under this Agreement (the “Post-Closing Assessment Notice”). If Sellers’ Representative does not deliver to Purchaser a Post-Closing Assessment *** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission. Notice within such twelve (12) month period, then Sellers shall have been deemed to agree that the Additional Milestone has not been met and no payment with respect to such Additional Milestone is due to Sellers hereunder and Sellers shall have no further rights to such Milestone Payment or any portion thereof. Such Post-Closing Assessment Notice may be delivered before or after the expiration of the Post-Closing Milestone Period without affecting Sellers’ rights to the applicable Milestone Payment, provided that that applicable Additional Milestone was actually achieved prior to the expiration of such Post-Closing Milestone Period. If Purchaser shall object to Sellers’ determination that a Additional Milestone has been achieved as set forth in the Post-Closing Assessment Notice, then Purchaser shall deliver a dispute notice (a “Post-Closing Milestone Dispute Notice”) to Sellers’ Representative within fifteen (15) days following Sellers’ Representative’s delivery of the Post-Closing Assessment Notice. A representative of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections within fifteen (15) days of the receipt by Sellers of the Post-Closing Milestone Dispute Notice. If no Post-Closing Milestone Dispute Notice is delivered within the fifteen (15) day time period, then Sellers’ determination that the Additional Milestone has been achieved, and that the amount of the Milestone Payment specified in the Post-Closing Milestone Dispute Notice is due hereunder, shall be deemed to be accepted and Purchaser shall pay to Sellers those amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Assessment Notice no later than five (5) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day time period.

(c) For purposes of clarity, more than one of the Net Sales milestones set forth above may be earned in the same four (4) consecutive calendar quarter period with respect to a Therapeutic Product. For example, if total worldwide Net Sales with respect to a given Therapeutic Product have not achieved any of the lower sales milestone thresholds set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.3(a) above in any previous four (4) consecutive calendar quarter period, but total worldwide Net Sales with respect to such Therapeutic Product exceed $[**] in a subsequent four (4) consecutive calendar quarter period, then all three milestone payments, totaling $60 Million, payable upon achievement of the sales milestone thresholds set forth in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 8.3(a) above shall become payable to MERRIMACK hereunder.
Milestones Subject to the provisions of the SGIP, the Parties shall agree on milestones for which each Party is responsible and list them in Attachment 4 of this Agreement. A Party’s obligations under this provision may be extended by agreement. If a Party anticipates that it will be unable to meet a milestone for any reason other than a Force Majeure event, it shall immediately notify the other Parties of the reason(s) for not meeting the milestone and (1) propose the earliest reasonable alternate date by which it can attain this and future milestones, and (2) requesting appropriate amendments to Attachment 4. The Party affected by the failure to meet a milestone shall not unreasonably withhold agreement to such an amendment unless it will suffer significant uncompensated economic or operational harm from the delay, (1) attainment of the same milestone has previously been delayed, or (2) it has reason to believe that the delay in meeting the milestone is intentional or unwarranted notwithstanding the circumstances explained by the Party proposing the amendment.
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). (c) [intentionally omitted] (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.
