Settlement Payments A. Unless the Court orders otherwise, each Participating Class Member will receive an equal, pro-rata portion of the Net Settlement Amount. The “Net Settlement Amount” is the Settlement Amount (plus any accrued interest thereon) reduced by any sums awarded by the Court for attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, service payments, and all expenses of settlement administration (including expenses previously incurred and the Settlement Administrator’s good faith estimate of future expenses to be incurred). The pro-rata share of each Participating Class Member shall be computed by dividing the Net Settlement Amount by the number of Participating Class Members.
B. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Settlement Administrator will transmit to each Participating Class Member that person’s settlement payment, which may be in the form of a check or an electronic payment such as Venmo, direct deposit/ACH, or PayPal. The settlement payment will be accompanied by a statement that the Participating Class Member should consult his or her tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the settlement payment. In the event any check is returned to the Settlement Administrator as undeliverable, or in the event any electronic payment is unable to be processed, the Settlement Administrator will attempt to contact the Participating Class Member by telephone or email or perform a skip trace to attempt to locate a current address or other relevant information necessary to re-issue payment. Any payment instrument not negotiated within ninety (90) days of its mailing or other transmission by the Settlement Administrator will be void. Any portion of the Settlement Amount, including accrued interest, that remains unpaid at the end of such ninety-day period will be paid to one or more cy pres recipients mutually proposed by the Parties and approved by the Court, unless the Court orders otherwise.
Settlement Payment If the resulting net amount is positive, it shall be payable by the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party, and if it is negative, then the absolute value of such amount shall be payable by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party.
Payment of Settlement Amount (1) Within thirty (30) days of the Date of Execution, the Settling Defendants shall pay the Settlement Amount to Siskinds LLP, for deposit into the Trust Account.

(3) The Settlement Amount and other consideration to be provided in accordance with the terms of this Settlement Agreement shall be provided in full satisfaction of the Released Claims against the Releasees.
(4) The Settlement Amount shall be all-inclusive of all amounts, including, without limitation, interest, costs, Class Counsel Fees and Class Counsel Disbursements.
(5) The Releasees shall have no obligation to pay any amount in addition to the Settlement Amount, for any reason, pursuant to or in furtherance of this Settlement Agreement, the Proceedings, the Second Ontario Action, or any Other Actions.
(6) Once a Claims Administrator has been appointed, Siskinds LLP shall transfer control of the Trust Account to the Claims Administrator.
(7) Siskinds LLP and the Claims Administrator shall maintain the Trust Account as provided for in this Settlement Agreement.
(8) Siskinds LLP and the Claims Administrator shall not pay out all or any part of the monies in the Trust Account, except in accordance with this Settlement Agreement, or in accordance with an order of the Courts obtained after notice to the Parties.

Gross Settlement Amount Except as otherwise provided by Paragraph 9 below, Defendant promises to pay $500,000.00 and no more as the Gross Settlement Amount and to separately pay any and all employer payroll taxes owed on the Wage Portions of the Individual Class Payments. Defendant has no obligation to pay the Gross Settlement Amount (or any payroll taxes) prior to the deadline stated in Paragraph 6.1 of this Agreement. The Administrator will disburse the entire Gross Settlement Amount without asking or requiring Participating Class Members or Aggrieved Employees to submit any claim as a condition of payment. None of the Gross Settlement Amount will revert to Defendant.
Net Out of Settlement Amounts The Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate a Termination Payment by aggregating all Settlement Amounts due under this Agreement or any other agreement(s) between the Company and the BGS-RSCP Supplier for the provision of BGS Supply into a single amount: by netting out (a) all Settlement Amounts that are due or will become due to the Defaulting Party, plus at the option of the Non-Defaulting Party, any cash or other form of security then available to the Non- Defaulting Party and actually received, liquidated and retained by the Non-Defaulting Party, plus any or all other amounts due to the Defaulting Party under this Agreement or any other agreement(s) between the Company and the BGS-RSCP Supplier for the provision of BGS Supply against (b) all Settlement Amounts that are due or will become due to the Non-Defaulting Party, plus any or all other amounts due to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement or any other agreement(s) between the Company and the BGS- RSCP Supplier for the provision of BGS Supply, so that all such amounts shall be netted out to a single liquidated amount; provided, however, that if the BGS-RSCP Supplier is the Defaulting Party and the Termination Payment is due to the BGS-RSCP Supplier, the Company shall be entitled to retain a commercially reasonable portion of the Termination Payment, which may be equal to the entire amount of the Termination Payment, as security for additional amounts that may be determined to be due and owing by the BGS-RSCP Supplier as Damages and further provided that any previously attached security interest of the Company in such retained amounts shall continue. The Termination Payment shall be due to or due from the Non-Defaulting Party as appropriate. If the Termination Payment has been retained by the Company as security for additional amounts that may be determined to be due and owing by the BGS-RSCP Supplier, and if, upon making a final determination of Damages, the Termination Payment, or any portion thereof, is to be made to the BGS-RSCP Supplier, the Company will pay simple interest on the Termination Payment amount being made to the BGS-RSCP Supplier. Simple interest will be calculated at the lower of the Interest Index or six (6) percent per annum.
Up-Front Payment At all times during the Effective Period other than those periods for which payment of all Billed Amounts is By Invoice, Customer shall maintain on file with 8x8 or the billing 8x8 Affiliate (as applicable) complete, accurate, and up-to-date information for at least one valid, working credit card or Customer account (sufficient to permit ACH withdrawals). Payment of all Billed Amounts – other than those for which 8x8 has agreed to payment By Invoice – shall be by charge to such credit card(s) or by ACH withdrawal from such account(s), at or near time of billing, and Customer hereby authorizes 8x8 to make such charges or withdrawals. Where payment is by such charge or withdrawal, (a) 8x8 shall post a statement of the Billed Amounts in the relevant account at or near the time of the first attempted charge or withdrawal and shall thereafter make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer by email and/or telephone if the charge or withdrawal is not successful and (b) Billed Amounts shall be due within fourteen (14) days of such posting.
Earn-Out Payments (i) Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the WME Member or the Company, as applicable, are the obligors in respect of a portion of the Earn-Out Payment. Subject to Section 7.03(g)(ii), the Earn-Out Payments may be funded in any of the following manners (or any combination thereof) as determined by unanimous Board approval (provided that if unanimous Board approval is not obtained, the WME Member or the Company, as applicable, shall nevertheless be permitted to comply with their respective obligations to the Earn-Out Recipients under the Purchase Agreement): (A) for so long as the January Capital Member is a Member, a special cash distribution by the Company to the January Capital Member in consideration of that portion of the Earn-Out Payment due to the January Capital Member, (B) a cash distribution to all Common Members on a pro rata basis to enable the Common Members (other than the Class B Members) to make Earn-Out Payments to the Earn-Out Recipients (provided that all such Common Members shall be required to make such Earn-Out Payment following receipt of such distribution), (C) a special cash distribution by the Company to the WME Member to fund Earn-Out Payments by the WME Member to the Earn-Out Recipients (provided that the WME Member shall be required to make such Earn-Out Payment following receipt of such distribution), and (D) funding by the WME Member (and to the extent agreed to by the Sponsor Members, the Sponsor Members) for Earn-Out Payments to the Earn-Out Recipients.
(ii) The Earn-Out Payments shall be subject to the following rules: (A) Earn-Out Payments to the January Capital Member will, to the extent permitted under the terms of any indebtedness and Senior Equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Annex A, and to the extent the WME Directors reasonably determine (after meaningful consultation with the full Board) that doing so would not have an adverse impact on the Company or its Subsidiaries, for so long as the January Capital Member is a Member, be distributed by the Company to the January Capital Member (subject, in each case, to clause (B) below) (provided that, for purposes of clarification, the January Capital Member shall not lose or waive its right to receive unpaid Earn-Out Payments solely because it ceases to be a Member; provided further that, if the Company is prohibited under the terms of any indebtedness or Senior Equity of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Annex A, or the Board otherwise determines that doing so would have an adverse impact on the Company or its Subsidiaries, and accordingly does not distribute Earn-Out Payments to the January Capital Member in accordance with this clause (A), then the January Capital Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect in writing to defer the payment of such Earn-Out Payment for a period of up to 24 months (the “Outside Earn-Out Payment Date”); provided further that the deferred Earn-Out Payment will be made to the January Capital Member on the earliest to occur of (A) the date on which the deferred Earn-Out Payment may be made by the Company in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this clause (A), (2) the date specified in writing by the January Capital Member (provided the January Capital Member provides written notice to the WME Member at least 60 days prior to the date on which the January Capital Member would like to receive the deferred Earn-Out Payment if such date is prior to the Outside Earn-Out Payment Date) and (3) the Outside Earn-Out Payment Date, (B) the Class B Members shall be grossed up so that they do not bear the effect of any Dilutive Adjustment (as defined below) or the Economic Cost of any Earn-Out Payments that are funded by distributions by the Company, (C) the Class B Members shall not bear any dilution arising from (x) the issuance of any Units that are issued in connection with the Earn-Out Payments or (y) any adjustment to the exercise price (a “Dilutive Adjustment”) of any securities or other interests convertible into Equity Securities of the Company resulting from any gross-up or true-up payment made in connection with, or that constitutes, any Earn-Out Payment, and (D) if any portion of the Earn-Out Payments are paid pursuant to clause (D) of Section 7.03(g)(i) by the WME Member and, if applicable, any Sponsor Members, the WME Member and such Sponsor Members (if any), will be issued Class A Common Units in respect of the amounts so paid thereby pursuant to such clause (D) at a price to be unanimously determined by the Board, which shall in no event be greater than Fair Market Value; provided, that if the Board does not unanimously agree on the price per Class A Common Unit, such Class A Common Units will be issued at Fair Market Value, as unanimously determined by the Board; provided, further, that if the Board does not unanimously agree on Fair Market Value, such value shall be determined by an investment banking firm of national reputation selected by the WME Member and reasonably acceptable to the SL Member, the KKR Member and the Company, whose expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(iii) Solely for purposes of this Section 7.03(g), “Economic Cost”, means, with respect to a Class B Member, such Member’s direct or indirect Percentage Interest of any Company cash or other Company asset that is distributed in a non-pro rata distribution to fund all or any portion of any Earn-Out Payment; provided, that, “Economic Cost” shall not include any diminution in value, lost profits or similar cost not relating to the immediate economic effect of the applicable non-pro-rata distribution.
Earn-Out Payment (a) The Earn-Out Amount, if any, due to the Company shall be paid by Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account designated by the Company no later than two (2) months following the day of final determination of such Earn-Out Amount in accordance with Section 2.03(b) and Section 2.03(c) below.
(b) Within ninety (90) calendar days after the end of each Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Company a reasonably detailed statement (each, an “Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth a calculation of the Earn-Out Amount for such period together with reasonable supporting information. The Company may dispute the calculation of such Earn-Out Amount by providing written notice (an “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to the Company. If the Company does not provide an Earn-Out Dispute Notice, such Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final upon the end of such thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to the Company. An Earn-Out Dispute Notice shall identify each disputed item, specify the amount of such dispute and set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide the Company and its Representatives with reasonable access, information and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its review of an Earn-Out Statement. In the event of any such disputes, Purchaser and the Company shall attempt, in good faith, to reconcile their differences (including providing information that is reasonably requested to the other party), and any resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be evidenced by a writing signed by Purchaser and the Company reflecting such resolution. If Purchaser and the Company are able to reach a resolution, such Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final. If Purchaser and the Company are unable to reach such resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company’s delivery of an Earn-Out Dispute Notice to Purchaser, then Purchaser and the Company shall promptly submit any remaining disputed items for final binding resolution to the Designated Accounting Firm. If any remaining disputed items are submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Party will furnish to the Designated Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the remaining disputed items as the Designated Accounting Firm may request and are available to such Party, and each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Designated Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Designated Accounting Firm; (ii) each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the resolution process so that the disputed items can be resolved within forty-five (45) calendar days of submission of the disputed items to the Designated Accounting Firm; (iii) the determination by the Designated Accounting Firm, as set forth in a written notice to Purchaser and the Company, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties; and (iv) the fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company and Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective Party incurring such expense. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve any item in dispute by making an adjustment to the Earn-Out Statement that is outside of the range for such item defined by the Earn-Out Statement and an Earn-Out Dispute Notice. In calculating the Earn-Out Amount, the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only those particular disputes referred to in an Earn-Out Dispute Notice.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, an Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and the Company upon the earliest of (i) the failure of the Company to deliver to Purchaser an Earn-Out Dispute Notice within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of such Earn-Out Statement to the Company; (ii) the resolution of all disputes by Purchaser and the Company, documented in a writing executed by the Parties; and (iii) the resolution of all disputes by the Designated Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.03(b).
(d) The Parties understand and agree that (i) any sale event (including stock purchase or all of substantially all of the respective stock, asset purchase or all of substantially all of the respective assets, merger, combination, exclusive license having the effect of a sale or other change of control, whether direct or indirect, whether by operation of law or otherwise) involving Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing shall (A) not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Section 2.03, and (B) require, as a condition precedent to such sale event, that the acquiror or surviving corporation, as the case may be, assume (whether expressly or by operation of law) this Agreement as part of the sale event and be liable for the payment of all amounts under this Section 2.03, and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to any applicable withholding Tax or as provided in Article VIII with respect to indemnification obligations of the Company and Parent, that the Earn-Out Amount payable hereunder shall be made without any deduction, abatement, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever.
(e) During an Earn-Out Period, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, act in bad faith with respect to attaining any Revenue for the purpose of reducing the Earn-Out Amount.
