Retention of the Earn Out Holdback Amount Sample Clauses
Related to Retention of the Earn Out Holdback Amount
Holdback Amount Escrow Agent shall hold back in escrow from Seller’s net proceeds at Closing an amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”). The sole purpose for which the Holdback Amount may be applied is as to any amounts which Seller owes to Purchaser for post-Closing claims to the extent allowed and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, the Holdback Amount is intended as a source of payment, but not as a limitation of damages that may be claimed by Purchaser. Except as to any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser which amounts are specifically reflected in a lawsuit commenced against Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for damages based upon the post-Closing claim, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Prior to institution of any such lawsuit, Purchaser shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, specifying the exact amount and nature of any such claim asserted by Purchaser against the Holdback Amount. Any lawsuit commenced against Seller must specifically set forth the exact amount which is claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser, and absent such specific amount being identified, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the entire Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve month (12) month period post-Closing. Any portion of the Holdback Amount which Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.10 after the passage of the twelve (12) month period, shall continue to be held in escrow pending final and unappealable dismissal or judgment in the action or actions timely commenced by Purchaser or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser obtains a final and unappealable judgment in any such action, Escrow Agent is directed to make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount retained in escrow in the amount of the judgment plus any interest, attorney’s fees, and costs to which it is entitled thereon upon presentation to Escrow Agent and Seller of the court order or other evidence of such final and unappealable judgment. Once all such actions are either finally or unappealably dismissed or a final and unappealable judgment is entered therein or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and any amount of damages due to Purchaser is paid, whether from the Holdback Amount or otherwise, Escrow Agent is directed to disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount. The parties shall execute any additional escrow instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing reasonably required by Escrow Agent or either party relating to the Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent’s fees and costs for holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.
Escrow Amount At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller shall deposit Ninety Thousand Two Hundred Forty-One Dollars ($90,241) (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated account as security for Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 15 hereof. All interest accruing on the Escrow Amount shall be for the benefit of Seller. In the event Buyer makes a written claim or demand for indemnification under Section 15 hereof (an “Indemnification Claim”), and Seller does not dispute such Indemnification Claim, or is determined to be liable for and in respect of such Indemnification Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Escrow Agent promptly thereafter shall pay such Indemnification Claim in full to Buyer, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement. On the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.06 hereof), fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Amount then remaining in escrow under the Escrow Agreement and not then subject to an outstanding Indemnification Claim shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Seller. The Escrow Agreement shall expire upon the termination of the Survival Period (as defined in Section 15.01 hereof), and immediately thereafter the Escrow Agent shall pay the portion, if any, of the then remaining Escrow Amount not in dispute to Seller; provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, Buyer shall have made an Indemnification Claim or commenced litigation or any other proceeding on account of any such claim, the term of the Escrow Agreement shall be extended, and the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in escrow the portion of the then Escrow Amount in dispute, in each case until the final resolution of such Indemnification Claim or litigation or proceeding relating thereto, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement.
Earn-Out Consideration (a) If the earnings before taxes (the "EBT") of the Company for the twelve months ending December 31, 1998, increased by amounts in respect of those items set forth on Schedule 2.5 that affected net income during the period from January 1, 1998 through the Closing Date and decreased by the amount of UniCapital corporate overhead allocated to the Company for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 1998 (the "Adjusted 1998 EBT"), exceeds the EBT of the Company for the twelve months ending December 31, 1997, inclusive of the add-backs set forth on Schedule 2.5 (the "Adjusted 1997 EBT"), then the Stockholders shall be entitled to receive one-half of the difference between the Adjusted 1998 EBT and the Adjusted 1997 EBT.
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.
Earn-Out Payments (i) Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of joint written instructions (“Earn-Out Payment Instructions”) from the DT Representative (on behalf of Purchaser) and the Seller Representative that for any Earn-Out Year there has been a final determination in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Share Exchange Agreement (but subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Share Exchange Agreement) with respect to the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year or the Alternative Earn-Out Payment (the date that the Escrow Agent receives Earn-Out Payment Instructions with respect to any Earn-Out Year, an “Earn-Out Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall distribute Escrow Property from the Escrow Account in accordance with such Earn-Out Payment Instructions (A) to the Sellers in an amount equal to the Earn-Out Payment (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Accrued Dividends payable by the Purchaser separate from the Escrow Account) less the sum of (I) the Reserved Amount (as defined below) as of the date of such payment, and (II) the amount of any Indemnification Claims that have been paid from the Escrow Account prior to such time but have not previously been used to reduce the amount of any prior Earn-Out Payment (but net of any prior Earn-Out Payments that have not yet been paid and are still being retained in the Escrow Account as of such time for Indemnification Claims that are still Pending Claims as of such time), up to a maximum amount equal to such Earn-Out Payment, and (B), after the last Earn-Out Year only, to Purchaser any portion of any Earn-Out Payments that were not earned by the Sellers in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement. For the determination of the Escrow Shares to be withheld for the Reserved Amount, the Escrow Shares shall be valued at the Purchaser Share Price as of the applicable Earn-Out Release Date.
Earnout Payments (a) The terms below shall have the following respective meanings for the purposes of this Section 2.3:
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.
Escrow Funds To provide for the timely payment of any post-closing claims by Buyer against Seller hereunder, at Closing, Seller shall deposit an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Escrow Funds”) which shall be withheld from the Purchase Price payable to Seller and shall be deposited for a period of one (1) year in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer and Seller (the “Post-Closing Agreement”), which escrow and Post-Closing Agreement shall be established and entered into at Closing and shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligations under this Contract. All earnings accrue to Seller and Seller may direct investment thereof. If no claims have been asserted by Buyer against Seller, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such 1-year period, the Escrow Funds deposited by Seller shall be released to Seller.
Earnout The parties acknowledge that the Purchase Price, as same may be modified by Section 3 herein, has been calculated generally by dividing the expected annual base rent from the Property (i.e. $2,386,109) by .082251 (the “Base Rent Divider”). In the event the Property is less than one hundred percent (100%) leased to tenants satisfying the Occupancy Conditions described upon Exhibit L attached hereto and made a part hereof as of the Closing Date, only a portion of the full Purchase Price shall be funded at Closing and the balance of the Purchase Price (the “Unfunded Purchase Price”) shall be held by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Section 20. The Unfunded Purchase Price shall be calculated by dividing the aggregate pro forma annual base rent (per the attached Exhibit B) for the space within the Property for those tenants that do not then satisfy the Occupancy Conditions (the “Vacant Space”), by the Base Rent Divider. The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller per the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date (subject to Seller’s funding of the deposits described below). As of the date hereof, the Vacant Space totals 20,294 square feet. The parties agree to enter into a mutually agreeable “Earnout Agreement” (attached as Exhibit K) at Closing which sets forth the terms and conditions for the Earnout, some of which are as follows: The term of the earnout period shall commence on the Closing Date and shall continue until the first to occur of (i) a period of 36 months from the Closing Date, or (ii) the date the Vacant Space has been fully leased and is occupied by tenants then satisfying the Occupancy Conditions (the “Earnout Period”). During the term of the Earnout Period (and prior to the satisfaction of the Occupancy Conditions of any portion of the Vacant Space by a new tenant), Seller shall be responsible for the monthly pro rata share of taxes, insurance and common area expenses (collectively, the “Operating Expenses”) allocable to the Vacant Space. To that end, Seller agrees to escrow with Escrow Agent at Closing, an amount equal to the estimated aggregate Operating Expenses for the Vacant Space payable during the Earnout Period (the “Operating Expense Escrow”). Purchaser shall draw down on the Operating Expense Escrow during the Earnout Period to pay any Operating Expenses allocable to the Vacant Space as same become due. Once any portion of the Vacant Space is leased to, and occupied by, a tenant then satisfying the Occupancy Conditions, Seller’s obligation to pay Purchaser the Operating Expenses allocable to that portion of the Vacant Space shall terminate and the balance of the Operating Expense Escrow allocable to said space shall be promptly paid to Seller. Upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, the balance of the Operating Expense Escrow, if any, shall be paid to Seller. Seller shall continue to serve as the exclusive leasing agent for the Vacant Space during the Earnout Period and shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with leasing the Vacant Space, including without limitation, any brokerage commissions and tenant improvement allowances associated therewith. To that end, Seller agrees to escrow with Escrow Agent at Closing, an amount equal to (i) $15.00 per square foot of the Vacant Space for anticipated tenant improvement allowances applicable to the Vacant Space, plus (ii) $3.00 per square foot of the Vacant Space for anticipated leasing commissions applicable to the Vacant Space (collectively, the “Leasing Escrow”). As any portion of the Vacant Space is leased to tenants during the Earnout Period, Seller may draw down on the Leasing Escrow to pay any tenant improvement allowance and/or leasing commissions applicable to said lease, provided in no event shall the aggregate amount funded out of the Leasing Escrow for tenant improvement allowances exceed $15.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased, nor shall the aggregate amount funded from the Leasing Escrow for leasing commissions exceed $3.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased. Upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, a portion of the Leasing Escrow in an amount equal to the collective sum of the improvement allowances for the then Vacant Space and the leasing commissions applicable to the then Vacant Space shall be either: (y) paid to Purchaser if the Vacant Space is not fully leased to tenants satisfying the Occupancy Conditions prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period; or (z) paid to Seller if the Vacant Space is fully leased to tenants satisfying the Occupancy Conditions prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period. Any amounts remaining in the Leasing Escrow after payment to Purchaser and/or Seller (as applicable), as provided immediately above shall be paid to Seller at the expiration of the Earnout Period. Additionally, if tenant improvement allowances exceed $15.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased or leasing commissions exceed $3.00 per square foot of the aggregate amount of Vacant Space leased (including for space which is being reconfigured for future leasing to a tenant) (e.g., relocation of walls and doorways), Seller shall be responsible for payment of such shortfall from Seller’s funds without contribution therefor from Purchaser. All leases for the Vacant Space shall comply with the Leasing Parameters attached hereto as Exhibit F or shall otherwise be approved in writing by Purchaser. At such time as Seller provides Purchaser with a new lease for any portion of the Vacant Space (and such new occupant has satisfied the Occupancy Conditions), Purchaser shall, upon ten (10) days advance written notice from Seller, pay to Seller a portion of the Unfunded Purchase Price in an amount equal to the annual base rent payable under said new lease (such base rent in no event to exceed 110% of the pro forma annual base rent for such space per the attached Exhibit B) divided by the Base Rent Divider. Any portion of the Unfunded Purchase Price which remains unfunded as of the expiration of the Earnout Period shall then be deemed to be forfeited by Seller without any further act by Purchaser and shall be forever released from all obligations to fund any portion of the Unfunded Purchase Price thereafter. Purchaser shall act in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith during its review and approval of any proposed new tenant and/or lease of the Vacant Space. Purchaser agrees to respond to Seller deliveries of tenant information and/or leases within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof by Purchaser, and in the event Purchaser fails to respond within an additional two (2) business days after a second notice, said proposed tenant and/or lease shall be deemed approved by Purchaser. In the event that any tenant and its new lease is approved (or deemed approved) and such lease is signed by the tenant and delivered to Purchaser but Purchaser fails to execute and deliver such lease within two (2) business days after receipt of the second notice described above, then the lease shall be deemed to have been executed by Purchaser as of the sixth (6th) business day following Purchaser’s receipt of same.
Earn-Out As part of the Purchase Price payable hereunder, Purchaser shall pay to Seller $3,000,000 (the “Earn-Out Payment”) in cash as an earn-out payment to be determined as follows: (a)The Earn-Out Payment shall be based on the outstanding principal balance (including Poolable Advances) of Mortgage Loans that are issued by the Company into GNMA HMBS pools for securitization of Mortgage Loans for the six-month period ending on December 31, 2013, as set forth on the production reports produced by management of the Company for such period. If the Company issues a number of such Mortgage Loans during such six-month period with an aggregate outstanding principal balance (including Poolable Advances) of at least $659,389,000, Purchaser shall pay to Seller $3,000,000 in cash in accordance with Section 3.5(b) below. 18 (b)No later than 30 days after the end of the period on which an Earn-Out Payment is based or the Closing occurs, whichever is later, Purchaser will deliver to Seller a notice (the “Earn-Out Notice”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the outstanding principal balance (including Poolable Advances) of Mortgage Loans that were issued by the Company into GNMA HMBS pools for securitization of Mortgage Loans for the applicable period. If Seller is entitled to the Earn-Out Payment, Purchaser shall make the Earn-Out Payment within 10 Business Days after delivery of the Earn-Out Notice. If Seller is not entitled to the Earn-Out Payment, and Seller disagrees with the Purchaser’s calculation, Seller shall notify Purchaser no later than 15 days after the Earn-Out Notice is delivered of its objections and the basis therefor in reasonable detail. Failure of Seller to notify Purchaser of disagreement with the matters set forth in the Earn-Out Notice within 15 days after delivery of the Earn-Out Notice shall be deemed to be concurrence. If an objection is made, Purchaser and Seller will negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement regarding the matters in dispute. Purchaser shall provide Seller and its Affiliates and their authorized Representatives with reasonable access to the relevant books, records, facilities, employees and representatives of the Company reasonably requested by Seller to evaluate and assess the calculation of the Statements, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.2. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve such dispute within 30 days, the disputed item(s) shall be submitted to a neutral and impartial, nationally recognized certified public accounting firm. If the report of such accounting firm concludes that Seller is entitled to the Earn-Out Payment, Purchaser shall make such payment within 10 Business Days of the issuance of the report, plus interest on such amount from the date the Earn-Out Payment would have originally been required to have been made up to but excluding the date on which such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate as of the Closing Date, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Any payment under this Section 3.5(b) shall be made by federal funds wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) of Seller, which account(s) shall be identified by Seller to Purchaser as soon as practicable following the determination of the amount of the Earn-Out Payment. (c)Purchaser shall cause the Company to operate in the pre-Closing Ordinary Course, without accelerating or delaying or otherwise deviating in any material respect from the historical securitization practices prior to the Closing Date, from the Closing Date through December 31, 2013. (d)For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Purchaser shall have the right to set off the amount of any payments owed to Seller pursuant to this Section 3.5 against any indemnification payment owed to a Purchaser Indemnified Party in accordance with Article X. Section 3.6
