The parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, including the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Holder Expenses, the Closing Date Cash and the Closing Date Other Adjustment Amount and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.7 is to measure the amount of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Holder Expenses, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Other Adjustment Amount, the Closing Consideration, and the Current Blocker Tax Liabilities, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement or determining the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Holder Expenses, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Other Adjustment Amount, and the Current Blocker Tax Liabilities unless such differences are required by GAAP.

Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event
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.
Earn-Out Payment On or before each of September 15, 2003 and September 15, 2004, Buyer shall calculate the Revenue (as defined below) for the prior twelve (12) month period ending July 31 (each an "Earn Out Period") attributable to the Business, and deliver a notice of the calculation (together with the details of such calculation, including a line item for each element thereof) to Seller. As used in this Agreement, the "Business" means the products sold (together with services provided in connection therewith) by Company at the time of Closing (without regard to product name changes or the like) and listed on Schedule 1.2(b) (solely for purposes of this Section 1.2, the "Products"), and each subsequent version of any such software product introduced during the Earn Out Periods. The Revenue shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis and consistent with past Company practices (including practices relating to foreign currency conversion), subject to the adjustments set forth in paragraph (c) below. In the event the Revenue for the one-year period ending on July 31, 2003 is greater than $7,295,851 (the "First Threshold"), One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "First Earn Out Payment") of the Purchase Price will be paid in cash to the Seller on September 15, 2003. In the event the Revenue for the one-year period ending July 31, 2004 is greater than $7,295,851 (the "Second Threshold"), an additional one million dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Second Earn Out Payment") of the Purchase Price will be paid in cash to the Seller on September 15, 2004. Neither the First Earn Out Payment nor the Second Earn Out Payment may be increased, decreased, or prorated. If either the First Earn Out Payment or the Second Earn Out Period is not earned with respect to the year to which it relates, it expires and cannot be paid in a later year regardless of Revenue in that later year. Except for the obligations of Buyer and Company set forth in Section 1.2(e), nothing herein shall in any way limit or restrict Buyer's or Company's business practices or decisions following the Closing, provided that those practices and decisions are not solely for avoiding payment of the Earn Out.
