Interest Expense Coverage Ratio The Borrower will not permit the ratio of (i) Consolidated EBITDA to (ii) Consolidated Cash Interest Expense for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be less than 3.75 to 1.00.
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.
Annual and Quarterly Financial Statements Until the Distribution Date, DSW shall not change its fiscal year and, until the Retail Ventures fiscal year end first occurring after the Distribution Date and thereafter to the extent necessary for the purpose of preparing financial statements or completing a financial statement audit, shall provide to Retail Ventures on a timely basis all Information that Retail Ventures reasonably requires to meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing, and public dissemination of Retail Ventures' annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, DSW will provide all required financial Information with respect to DSW to DSW's Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit DSW's Auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to Retail Ventures' Auditors with respect to financial Information to be included or contained in Retail Ventures' annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements. Similarly, Retail Ventures shall provide to DSW on a timely basis all financial Information that DSW reasonably requires to meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing, and public dissemination of DSW's annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Retail Ventures will provide all required financial Information with respect to Retail Ventures and its Subsidiaries to DSW's Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit DSW's Auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to DSW's Auditors with respect to Information to be included or contained in DSW's annual and quarterly financial statements.
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 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 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.
