5. In the event that after the Closing and prior the five (5)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) there is a Change of Control (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into prior to the five (5)-year anniversary of the Closing Date and such Change of Control is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the five (5)-year anniversary of the Closing Date), (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of SMMC (whether voluntary of involuntary) is initiated, (iii) any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or similar proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, is instituted by or against SMMC, or a receiver is appointed for SMMC or a substantial part of its assets or properties or (iv) SMMC makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions or applies to any Governmental Authority for, or consents or acquiesces to, the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or properties (each of clauses (i) through (iv), an “Acceleration Event”), then any Earnout Securities that have not been previously issued by SMMC (whether or not previously earned) shall be deemed earned and issued by SMMC to the holders of Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (but in the case of Company Options, only such Company Options that are vested as of such date (after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting of such Company Options)) upon such Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.07 unless, in the case of an Acceleration Event that is a Change of Control, the value of the consideration to be received by the holders of the SMMC Class A Common Stock in such Change of Control transaction is less than the stock price threshold applicable to the $12.50 Share Price Milestone and/or the $15.00 Share Price Milestone, as applicable; provided, that the determinations of such consideration and value shall be determined in good faith by the disinterested members of the SMMC Board; and provided, further that such Earnout Securities that are not deemed earned as of such Change in Control transaction shall be cancelled to the extent that such Change in Control transaction consists of a sale of SMMC by merger, business combination or otherwise in which the stockholders of SMMC receive only cash consideration for their shares.
