Contingent Payment (a) In the event that Purchaser consummates a Change of Control Transaction prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date (a “Qualifying Sale Transaction”), then Seller shall be entitled to receive a payment in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Net Sale Proceeds, valuing any non-cash consideration included in the Net Sale Proceeds at fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of Purchaser) (such payment, the “Contingent Payment”), payable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7.
(b) No later than five (5) days following the final determination of the Qualifying Sale Proceeds pursuant to the post-closing purchase price adjustment provisions of the definitive agreement for such Qualifying Sale Transaction (the “Qualifying Sale Agreement”) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, along with reasonable supporting documentation, a statement setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Net Sale Proceeds and the resulting Contingent Payment (the “Contingent Payment Statement”). 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.
(c) No later than three (3) Business Days after final determination of the amount of the Contingent Payment pursuant to Section 2.7(b), Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Contingent Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Seller at least one (1) Business Day prior to the end of such three (3) Business Day period; provided, that in the event that any portion of the consideration to be received by Cerberus pursuant to such Qualifying Sale Transaction (i) is subject to any escrow, holdback or other contingency, then the proportionate amount of the Contingent Payment shall be withheld and not paid to Seller unless, until and only to the extent that such portion of Cerberus’s consideration is released to Cerberus from any such escrow or holdback, or such contingency lapses or is satisfied (or any portion of the amounts withheld in respect of such contingency is distributed to the limited partners or other investors of Cerberus), as applicable, and (ii) is non-cash consideration, then the Contingent Payment shall be made in the same proportion of cash and non-cash consideration as the proportion of cash and non-cash consideration comprising the Qualifying Sale Proceeds; provided further that, to the extent receipt of any non-cash consideration would cause Seller or any of its Affiliates to be bound by, or otherwise subject to, any noncompetition, nonsolicitation or other material restrictive covenant (other than a customary confidentiality covenant, and expressly excluding any shareholder restrictions on transfer that apply equally to Cerberus), Seller instead shall be entitled to receive from Purchaser cash with a value equivalent to such non-cash consideration, valuing such non-cash consideration at fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of Purchaser).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7 or otherwise, but subject to any rights Seller or any of its Affiliates may have under the Ancillary Agreements, (i) Seller shall have no rights with respect to any Change of Control Transaction, Qualifying Sale Transaction or Qualifying Sale Agreement (including, without limitation, no information rights or rights to object or consent to any such transaction or agreement) other than the rights expressly set forth herein to receive the Contingent Payment if and when payable pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.7 and (ii) Purchaser shall not be permitted in connection with any Qualifying Sale Transaction to bind Seller or any of its Affiliates to sell any equity interests to, or to make any agreement, covenant or restriction with or in favor of, any third party.

With respect to each Contingent Payment Period, Buyer shall make, or cause the Acquired Entities to make, to Sellers cash payments in an aggregate amount equal to the amount, if any, by which EBITDA during such Contingent Payment Period exceeds $8,000,000 (each such excess, if and to the extent earned for any such Contingent Payment Period, a “Contingent Payment”). The Contingent Payment, if any, for each Contingent Payment Period shall be paid by Buyer or (at Buyer’s direction) the Acquired Entities as follows:
(A) Buyer or (at Buyer’s direction) the Acquired Entities shall pay to each Seller an amount equal to 50% of such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such Contingent Payment in accordance with Section 1.4(b) below and (B) Buyer or (at Buyer’s direction) the Acquired Entities shall pay to each Seller an amount equal to 50% of such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such Contingent Payment on April ___, 2012.
(b) Within five (5) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of its audited consolidated financial statements for a particular Contingent Payment Period, but in any event within 95 days following the last day of each Contingent Payment Period, Buyer’s board of directors (the “Board”) shall deliver to each Seller (i) a copy of such financial statements, if such financial statements have been delivered to Buyer as of such date, (ii) a statement (a “Calculation Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s calculation of the Contingent Payment (if any) for such Contingent Payment Period and
License Contingent Upon Payment While you may exercise the rights licensed immediately upon issuance of the license at the end of the licensing process for the transaction, provided that you have disclosed complete and accurate details of your proposed use, no license is finally effective unless and until full payment is received from you (either by publisher or by CCC) as provided in CCC's Billing and Payment terms and conditions. If full payment is not received on a timely basis, then any license preliminarily granted shall be deemed automatically revoked and shall be void as if never granted. Further, in the event that you breach any of these terms and conditions or any of CCC's Billing and Payment terms and conditions, the license is automatically revoked and shall be void as if never granted. Use of materials as described in a revoked license, as well as any use of the materials beyond the scope of an unrevoked license, may constitute copyright infringement and publisher reserves the right to take any and all action to protect its copyright in the materials.
Additional Interest Notice In the event that the Company is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders of Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will provide written notice (“Additional Interest Notice”) to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than 15 days prior to the proposed payment date for the Additional Interest, and the Additional Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Additional Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest.

Contingent Compensation Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx may accept certain forms of contingent compensation in locations where they are legally permissible, and meet standards and controls to address conflicts of interest. Because insurers account for contingent payments when developing general pricing, the price our clients pay for their policies is not affected whether Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx accepts contingent payments or not. If a Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx client prefers that we not accept contingent compensation related to their account, we will request that the client’s insurer(s) exclude that client’s business from their contingent payment calculations. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a U.S. law aimed at foreign financial institutions and other financial intermediaries (including insurance companies and intermediaries such as brokers) to prevent tax evasion by U.S. citizens and residents through offshore accounts. In order to comply with FATCA, insurance companies and intermediaries must meet certain legal requirements. Insurance placed with an insurance company that is not FATCA compliant may result in a 30% withholding tax on your premium. Where FATCA is applicable to you, in order to avoid this withholding tax, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx will only place your insurance with FATCA- compliant insurers and intermediaries for which no withholding is required unless you instruct us to do otherwise and provide your advance written authorization to do so. If you do instruct Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx to place your insurance with a non-FATCA compliant insurer or intermediary, you may have to pay an additional amount equivalent to 30% of the premium covering U.S. - sourced risks to cover the withholding tax. If you instruct us to place your insurance with a non-FATCA compliant insurer but you do not agree to pay the additional 30% withholding if required, we will not place your insurance with such insurer. Please consult your tax adviser for full details of FATCA.
Payment of Additional Interest Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.03, the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be applicable to Bearer Securities of any series. The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest to the Holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon that is a United States Alien such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment on such Bearer Security or Coupon, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided in such Bearer Security or Coupon to be then due and payable. However, the Company will not be required to make any such payment of additional interest for or on account of:
(a) any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor or beneficiary of, or a Person holding a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate or a trust, or a member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is a partnership or corporation) and the United States, including such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, Person holding a power, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in trade or business or present therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) such Holder's past or present status for United States Federal income tax purposes as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company or private foundation or other tax-exempt organization with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States Federal income tax;
(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
(c) any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of a Bearer Security or Coupon for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
(d) any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment on a Bearer Security or Coupon;
(e) any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a failure to comply with applicable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of a Bearer Security or Coupon if, without regard to any tax treaty, such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or
(f) any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a Holder that actually or constructively owns ten percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or that is a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company through stock ownership; nor shall additional interest be paid with respect to a payment on a Bearer Security or Coupon to a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner would not have been entitled to the additional interest had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of such Bearer Security or Coupon. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Security or payment with respect to any Coupon of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional interest provided for in the terms of such Debt Securities and this Section 4.06 to the extent that, in such context, additional interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.06 and express mention of the payment of additional interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional interest in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. If the payment of additional interest becomes required in respect of the Debt Securities or Coupons of a series, at least ten days prior to the first interest payment date with respect to which such additional interest will be payable (or if the Debt Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to its Stated Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal, and premium, if any, is made and on which such additional interest will be payable), and at least ten days prior to each date of payment of principal, and premium, if any, or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and each paying agent with an Officers' Certificate that shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to Holders of Debt Securities or Coupons that are United States Aliens, and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such paying agent the additional interest, if any, required by the terms of such Debt Securities and this Section 4.06. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any paying agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 4.06.
Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Xxxxxx’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
