The Parties acknowledge that the Earn-Out Payments are intended to be adjustments to the Purchase Price of the Purchased Shares to reflect the underlying goodwill of the Business, the value of which cannot be accurately determined by the Parties on or before Closing Date. (b) In addition, the Vendors shall be entitled to be paid by the Purchaser royalties and sharing payments (the “Royalties”), as additional consideration for the sale and transfer of the Purchased Shares, in accordance with the terms set out in Schedule 2.8.1(B), and as further delineated therein. (c) The determination of whether any Earn-Out Payments or Royalties are payable shall be based on the terms of this Section 2.8, the applicable Schedule (2.8.1(a) or 2.8.1(b)) and the applicable terms of this Agreement. (d) All Earn-Out Payments and Royalties due and owing to the Vendors shall only be payable in cash, such payment to be in US dollars. (e) Any agreed Contingent Consideration shall be payable to the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Paying Agent, to the Purchaser, for distribution by the Paying Agent amongst the Vendors in accordance with their respective Designated Percentages. (f) The Vendors’ Delegate shall invoice the Purchaser for any Earn-Out Payments and Royalties payable once the amount of any such Earn-Out Payments and/or Royalties have been finally determined in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8. If any portion of any Earn-Out Payments and/or Royalties remains to be determined by the Parties or is subject to dispute in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8, the Parties acknowledge that the Vendors’ Delegate shall be entitled to issue an invoice for any portion of such Earn-Out Payments and/or Royalties that do not remain to be so determined. For the avoidance of doubt, the Vendors’ Delegate shall only invoice the Purchaser for the portion of any Earn-Out Payments or Royalties in dispute after such dispute is settled and the applicable portion of such Earn-Out Payment or Royalty is finally determined and failure to issue the invoice due to any dispute shall not prejudice the Vendors or the Vendors’ Delegate in any manner. Subject to and in accordance with this Agreement, any Earn-Out Payments and the Royalties payable by the Purchaser shall be paid within [**] of the date of the invoice delivered by the Vendors’ Delegate (each payment date, the “Earn-Out Payment Pay Date” or “Royalty Pay Date”, as applicable). (g) The Contingent Consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser or its Affiliates regardless of whether the Purchaser or its Affiliates undertakes any corporate or other bona fide reorganization, and references to the Corporation in this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to include any Person which owns or controls the ARTMS Technology.

For the avoidance of doubt there may only be one Reference Date and one Earn-Out Payment. 2.3 In the event that Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx shall resign as chief executive officer of the Company during the Earn-Out Period then, unless a Reference Date has already been fixed pursuant to and in accordance with paragraph 2.2, the Reference Date shall be the 31 July next following the effective date of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx ceasing to be the chief executive officer of the Company. 2.4 Any Earn-out Payment that the Buyer is required to pay pursuant to this Schedule shall be paid to the Sellers in cash in £ sterling within 10 Business Days of the amount of the Earn-Out Payment being agreed or determined in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule. Payment of any Earn-Out Payment in accordance with this clause shall be a good and valid discharge of the Buyer’s obligation to pay the sum in question and the Buyer shall not be concerned to see the application of the monies so paid. 2.5 Except as permitted under paragraph 8 of this Schedule, the Earn-Out Payment shall be paid without deduction set off or counter claim and if not paid in full on the due date the Earn-Out Payment shall bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum above the base lending rate of Lloyds Bank for the time being from the due date until the date of actual payment of the Earn-Out Payment.
Cash Consideration In case of the issuance or sale of additional Shares for cash, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company for such Shares (or, if such Shares are offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Shares are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering price), without deducting therefrom any compensation or discount paid or allowed to underwriters or dealers or others performing similar services or for any expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Equity Consideration (a) The Equity Consideration (collectively, the “Buyer Parent Securities”) are or shall be restricted securities and have not been registered for resale under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold, transferred, hypothecated, or assigned by any of the Seller in the absence of a registration statement covering such Buyer Parent Securities that has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. For clarity, other than the Lock-up Agreement, there are no separate restrictions other than the stock having been issued in a private transaction, thereby making the shares restricted for Rule 144 purposes. If the Buyer Parent lists its shares on any public exchange, at Seller’s election, Buyer shall: (i) if registration occurs after the First Closing, ensure Seller’s Equity Consideration is registered, or (ii) if registration occurs before the First Closing, pay the Equity Consideration in registered shares. (b) The Seller is a knowledgeable, sophisticated, and experienced investor and has sufficient knowledge and experience in evaluating and making, and is qualified to evaluate and make, decisions with respect to private investments in and dispositions of securities, including investments in and dispositions of securities issued by Buyer Parent and Persons engaged in similar activities, and is capable of evaluating the risks and merits associated with the Buyer Parent Securities. (c) The Seller is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. (d) The Seller has had the opportunity to seek independent legal, investment, and tax advice in connection with such Seller’s decision to acquire its share of the Buyer Parent Securities. (e) The Seller is acquiring the Buyer Parent Securities for investment purposes only and not with a view toward the immediate resale or distribution thereof. The Seller acknowledges that, as a result of the substantial restrictions on the transferability of its share of Buyer Parent Securities, such Seller will be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in such capital stock for an indefinite period of time. (f) The Seller has reviewed the reports filed with the SEC by Bxxxx Xxxxxx and has received and reviewed a draft of Buyer Parent’s Form 1-K for fiscal year 2019, to be filed with the SEC pending completion of the Company’s audit procedures. The Seller understands the risks of its investment in Buyer Parent. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that it has had sufficient time and opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Buyer Parent concerning the terms of the issuance of Buyer Parent Securities pursuant to this Agreement and to obtain any additional information required by or pursuant to the Securities Act.
Settlement Consideration In consideration of the full settlement, satisfaction, compromise and release of the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims, an aggregate $115 million in cash (the “Escrow Amount”) shall be paid on behalf of the Settling Defendants to Freeport by the D&O Carriers. The Settling Defendants shall cause the Escrow Amount to be deposited by the D&O Carriers into an interest-bearing escrow account controlled by an agreed upon representative of Plaintiffs and of the Settling Defendants (the “Escrow Account”) within fifteen (15) business days after the Stipulation is submitted to the Court. Upon the Effective Date, the Escrow Amount, together with any and all interest thereon, shall be paid to Freeport from the Escrow Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Settling Defendants shall have no obligation to deposit any portion of the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Account but shall have an obligation to take all reasonably available steps to seek to cause the D&O Carriers to deposit the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Account.
Post-Closing Capitalization At, and immediately after, the Closing, the authorized capitalization, and the number of issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company and the Parent, on a fully-diluted basis, as indicated on a schedule to be delivered by the Parties at or prior to the Closing, shall be acceptable to the Parent in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Closing Net Working Capital Statement may not be amended by Seller after it is delivered to Purchaser. 1.9.2 Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Closing Net Working Capital Statement to it, complete its review of the Closing Net Working Capital reflected on the Closing Net Working Capital Statement. If Purchaser wishes to dispute the Closing Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing in reasonable detail of such disagreement and any reason therefore (“Purchaser’s Objection”), setting forth a specific description of the basis of Purchaser’s Objection and the adjustments to the Closing Net Working Capital that Purchaser believes should be made, on or before the last day of such thirty (30) day period, which Purchaser’s Objection may not be amended by Purchaser after it is delivered to Seller (except to withdraw any such Purchaser’s Objection). Any items on the Closing Net Working Capital Statements not disputed in Purchaser’s Objection shall be irrevocably deemed to be accepted by Purchaser. Seller shall then have thirty (30) days to review and respond to Purchaser’s Objection. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the foregoing items within thirty (30) days following Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Objection (the “Negotiation Period”), they shall refer their remaining differences to a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of national recognition (other than an independent accounting firm utilized by any of Seller, Apache or Purchaser or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing within the past three (3) years) acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser or if Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree as to such third party accounting firm within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the Negotiation Period, either Seller or Purchaser may request that the Chairman of the American Arbitration Association (or the nominated representative of the Chairman) appoint a third party accounting firm meeting the aforementioned requirements to resolve the dispute (the accounting firm selected being referred to as the “CPA Firm”), who shall determine, only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Net Working Capital requires adjustment. The procedure and schedule under which any dispute shall be submitted to the CPA Firm shall be as follows: (a) Within ten (10) days after the later of (i) the end of the Negotiation Period and (ii) the selection of the CPA Firm, Purchaser shall submit any unresolved elements of the Purchaser’s Objection to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Seller), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies. Failure to timely do so shall constitute a withdrawal by Purchaser of the Purchaser’s Objection with respect to any unresolved element to which such failure relates. (b) Within fifteen (15) days following Purchaser’s submission of the unresolved elements of the Purchaser’s Objection as specified in sub-clause (a) above, Seller shall submit its response to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Purchaser), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies. Failure to timely do so shall constitute an acceptance by Seller with respect to any unresolved elements to which such failure relates. (c) The CPA Firm shall deliver its written determination to Purchaser and Seller no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the remaining differences underlying Purchaser’s Objection are referred to the CPA Firm, or such longer period of time as the CPA Firm determines is necessary.
