Earn-Out Payment (a) If, as of the close of business on September 30, 2019, the sum of (i) the total revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP) of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) resulting from sales of ECUs from the Closing up to and including September 30, 2019 (the “Product Revenue”) and (ii) the total dollar value of committed customer orders received by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) for ECUs that have been scheduled for delivery to such customer and represented by valid purchase orders as of the close of business on September 30, 2019 (the “Product Orders”) equals or exceeds $86,700,000 (the “Earn Out Benchmark”), Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount of $30,000,000; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of the Product Revenue and the Product Orders is less than the Earn Out Benchmark, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to (i) $30,000,000 multiplied by (ii) the percentage of the Earn Out Benchmark represented by the aggregate amount of the Product Revenue and the Product Orders, all as more particularly set forth in this Section 2.7. Any payment due under this Section 2.7 is referred to herein as the “Earn Out Payment” and is subject to Purchaser’s right of offset set forth in Section 10.3(i).
(b) Within 60 days of the expiration of the Earn Out Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, with reasonable detail, its calculation of the Earn Out Payment, if any, and the components thereof. The Earn Out Payment shall be determined and calculated in accordance with GAAP. Following receipt of the calculation of the Earn Out Payment, if any, Seller shall be afforded a period of 30 days to review the same. To assist in any such review, Purchaser shall reasonably make available to Seller, upon request and during normal business hours, worksheets and other papers prepared in connection with the preparation of the calculation of the Earn Out Payment and the components thereof. At or before the end of the 30-day review period (the “Earn Out Review Period”), Seller shall either accept the calculation of the applicable Earn Out Payment or deliver to Purchaser a written notice disputing the same (a “Earn Out Dispute Notice”) setting forth a reasonable description of Seller’s objections and the amount of the adjustment to the Earn Out Payment which Seller believes should be made. Any items not identified within the Earn Out Dispute Notice shall be considered final and binding upon the Parties. If Purchaser’s calculation of the Earn Out Payment reflects that the Earn Out Payment is due to Seller and Seller objects in the Earn Out Dispute Notice that such calculated amount is too small, then, within five Business Days following Seller’s delivery of the Earn Out Dispute Notice, Purchaser shall pay to Seller Purchaser’s calculated amount of such Earn Out Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions given by Seller to Purchaser, and the Parties shall proceed with the provisions of Section 2.7(c) as to the amount of the additional Earn Out Payment Seller believes is due to Seller. If no Earn Out Dispute Notice is delivered within the Earn Out Review Period, then the calculation of the Earn Out Payment shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller.
(c) In the event that an Earn Out Dispute Notice is delivered in accordance with Section 2.7(b), Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve the objections set forth therein within 30 days of Purchaser’s receipt of such Earn Out Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve all of the objections set forth in the Earn Out Dispute Notice within such 30-day period, any remaining objections related to the calculation of the Earn Out Payment shall be finally resolved by the Arbitrating Accountant who shall resolve any remaining disagreements in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.6(b), (c) and (d) mutatis mutandis. Purchaser and Seller shall fully cooperate with the Arbitrating Accountant. The decision of the Arbitrating Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, except in the case of manifest error.
(d) Upon final determination of the amount of the Earn Out Payment in accordance with Section 2.7(b) or Section 2.7(d) (the “Determination Date”), Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Earn Out Payment, as applicable, as finally determined within five Business Days of the Determination Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions given by Seller to Purchaser.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Product Revenue following the Closing and prior to September 30, 2019 exceeds the Earn Out Benchmark, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller $30,000,000 within ten days after the end of the calendar month in which the Product Revenue first exceeds the Earn Out Benchmark, and thereafter no additional payments will be required pursuant to this Section 2.7. Any payment due under this Section 2.7(e) is subject to Purchaser’s right of offset set forth in Section 10.3(i).
(f) From the Closing Date until September 30, 2019 (the “Earn Out Period”), Purchaser covenants and agrees to the following: (i) Purchaser shall keep records sufficient to calculate the Earn Out Payment; (ii) upon Seller’s request during normal business hours, Purchaser shall reasonably make available to Seller and its advisors the records, worksheets and other supporting workpapers prepared in connection with the calculation of the Earn Out Payment for any period covered by this Agreement; (iii) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) shall take any action that is primarily intended to impede Seller’s ability to earn the maximum Earn Out Payment; and (iv) Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) shall operate the Business during the Earn Out Period in a commercially reasonable manner; provided, however, if the Earn Out Payment is paid to Seller prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period as set forth in Section 2.7(e), Purchaser’s obligations set forth in this Section 2.7(f) shall terminate on the date the Earn Out Payment is paid to Seller. For purposes of this Section 2.7(f), “commercially reasonable manner” means, among other things, providing the Business with a level of administrative, development, maintenance, internal or outsourced manufacturing, quality, sales and marketing support that is consistent with the support currently being provided to the Business by Seller and providing the Business with working capital funding that is appropriate for a business of the Business’ size and industry.
Separation Payment An ASF Member shall be compensated at the final rate of pay for all unused, accumulated vacation, leave time upon separation from state service, or movement to a vacation ineligible position. An employee on an unpaid leave of absence of more than one (1) year for a purpose other than accepting an unclassified position in state civil service, or an employee on layoff that results in separation from service, may elect to be compensated at the final rate of pay for unused accumulated vacation leave. This accumulated vacation payout shall not exceed two hundred and seventy-five (275) hours, except in the case of the ASF Member's death. Calculation of an ASF Member's hourly rate for purposes of computing vacation separation payment shall be based upon a base of two thousand eighty-eight (2,088) working hours per year. Appointment periods of less than one
(1) year in duration shall be prorated on this basis. Except as provided in Article 16, Section C, Subdivision 4 which pertains to the separation payment to retirees, the separation payment will be made in cash.
Severance Amount If the Company is required to pay Executive severance by the express terms of Section 7(a) or 7(b), the Company shall pay Executive the following as severance:
(1) Executive's Base Salary at the highest rate in effect prior to the Termination Date as salary continuation for a period of eighteen months commencing on the date on which Executive's employment with the Company is terminated (the "TERMINATION DATE") (the "SEVERANCE PERIOD"), payable in equal monthly installments pursuant to the Company's customary payroll practices for executive salaries; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, the amounts payable under this Section 7(c) may be paid by the Company in one lump sum.
(2) Executive, Executive's spouse, and Executive's dependents will continue to be eligible for coverage under the Company's group health plan or any successor plan on the same basis as active executive employees of the Company, their spouses, and their dependents for the duration of the Severance Period.

Executive's portion of the premium for such coverage shall be withheld from the salary continuation payments described in paragraph (1) immediately above or, if salary continuation has been paid in a lump sum, Executive shall reimburse the Company for Executive's portion of the premium on a monthly basis.
(3) An amount equal to the sum of amounts paid or payable to Executive as bonuses by the Company for the year prior to the year in which the Termination Date occurs. This amount will be payable in one lump sum, to Executive within 30 days after the end of the Severance Period.
(4) Executive shall become 100% vested in all of the shares of restricted stock granted to Executive under the Mariner Energy, Inc. Equity Participation Plan to the extent Executive is less than 100% vested in such shares as of the Termination Date.

(6) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Company incurs an obligation to pay severance under this Section 7(c) in connection with the termination of Executive's employment after the consummation of an initial public offering by the Company, then, subject to Section 7(h), Executive shall be entitled to receive the amounts specified in Section 8(a) in lieu of the amounts specified in Sections 7(c)(1) and 7(c)(3).
(7) Payments under this Section 7(c) shall be in lieu of any severance benefits otherwise due to Executive under any severance pay plan or program maintained by the Company that covers its employees or executives generally. If Executive receives payment under Section 8(a), payments otherwise payable under Section 7(c)(1) shall terminate.
Over-Allowance Amount On the Cost Proposal Delivery Date and, in any event, prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord cash in an amount (the “Over-Allowance Amount”) equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the Cost Proposal and (ii) the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the Cost Proposal Delivery Date). The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any then remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance. If, after the Cost Proposal Date, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Tenant Improvements as a result of requests made by Tenant or as otherwise specified in Section 5.01(h) below, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon Landlord’s request as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount and, in any event, prior to the commencement of the construction of the revisions, changes or substitutions. Promptly following completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements and payment of all costs incurred in connection therewith, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a reasonably detailed reconciliation of (i) the total cost of the Tenant Improvements, including all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items, and (ii) the total amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Over-Allowance Amount payments previously made by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section. To the extent that such reconciliation discloses that the total costs of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance plus all Over-Allowance Amount previously paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount of such shortfall to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such reconciliation. To the extent that such reconciliation discloses that the total costs of the Tenant Improvements is less than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance plus all Over-Allowance Amounts previously paid by Tenant, Landlord shall pay the amount of such overage to Tenant at the time that Landlord delivers such reconciliation to Tenant.
