The Accounting Referee will, acting as experts in accounting and not as arbitrators, determine on a basis consistent with the requirements of this Agreement, and only with respect to the Unresolved Matters so submitted, whether and to what extent the Purchaser Closing Statement requires adjustment. The Seller and the Purchaser will instruct the Accounting Referee to (i) use its reasonable best efforts to render its final written determination within 30 days after such firm’s engagement, (ii) prepare the Final Closing Statement (which will be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Accounting Referee of the Unresolved Matters), and (iii) calculate the Closing Date Adjustment, if any, based on such Final Closing Statement. With respect to each Unresolved Matter, the Accounting Referee’s determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Seller or Purchaser, will not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Seller or the Purchaser with respect thereto. The Accounting Referee’s final written determination will be conclusive and binding upon the parties to this Agreement. The “Final Closing Statement” will be (i) in the event that no Objection is delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser, or the Seller notifies the Purchaser that it has no such disputes or objections to the Purchaser Closing Statement, in each case prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Purchaser Closing Statement delivered by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.8(a); (ii) in the event that an Objection is delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Purchaser Closing Statement delivered by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.8(a), as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of the Seller and the Purchaser in writing; or (iii) in the event that an Objection is delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Review Period and the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such Objection, the Purchaser Closing Statement delivered by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.8(a), as adjusted by the Accounting Referee to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Accounting Referee of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with this Section 2.8(c).

Article III
EARNOUT PAYMENT

3.1 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.

3.2 Delivery of Earnout Statement; Determination of Earnout Payment. As soon as practicable (but in any event within forty-five (45) days) after the completion of the Purchaser’s audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022, the Purchaser’s chief financial officer (the “CFO”) will prepare and deliver to the Seller a written statement (the “Earnout Statement”) in the form attached to Schedule II setting forth the CFO’s determination of the Earnout Payment, if any, and the components relevant to the determination thereof and the form of the Earnout Payment as determined by the Independent Director Committee. All determinations to be made by the Purchaser in connection with the Earnout Payment shall be made by the Independent Director Committee, and the Purchaser shall cause all of its and its subsidiaries’ respective executives, managers, employees, agents and other personnel or representatives (“Representatives”) to assist and fully cooperate with the Independent Director Committee. The Seller will have thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Earnout Statement to review it. To the extent reasonably requested in connection with the Seller’s review of the Earnout Statement, the Purchaser shall cause Madhouse to provide the Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access to the books and records of the Purchaser and its consolidated entities (including those of Madhouse), its finance personnel and any other information that the Seller reasonably requests relating to the determination of the Earnout Payment, the calculation of the relevant components and the form of the Earnout Payment. The Seller may deliver written notice to the Purchaser on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of an Earnout Statement specifying in reasonable detail any items that it wishes to dispute and the basis therefor. If the Seller fails to deliver such written notice in such thirty (30) day period, or if the Seller provides written notice to the Purchaser at any time in such thirty (30) day period that it does not wish to dispute any items in the Earnout Statement, then (i) the Seller will have waived its right to contest the Earnout Statement and the calculations and other matters set forth therein, (ii) the calculations and other matters set forth in the Earnout Statement shall become final and binding for all purposes hereunder (absent fraud or manifest error) at the end of such thirty (30) day period (or upon the Purchaser’s receipt of written notice that the Seller does not wish to dispute any items in the Earnout Statement), and (iii) the Purchaser shall pay or issue, as applicable, the Earnout Payment in accordance with Section 3.1. If the Seller provides the Purchaser with written notice of any objections to the Earnout Statement in such thirty (30) day period, then the Seller and the Purchaser will, for a period of thirty (30) days following the date of delivery of such notice, attempt to resolve their differences, and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amount will be final and binding for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Purchaser shall pay or issue, as applicable, the Earnout Payment in accordance with Section 3.1. If at the conclusion of such thirty (30) day period the Seller and the Purchaser have not reached an agreement on any objections with respect to the Earnout Statement, then upon request of either party, the parties will resolve the dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 3.3. The Purchaser shall not take, and cause its Affiliates not to take, nor omit to take and cause its Affiliates to not omit to take, any action that could adversely affect in a material manner the ability of the parties to calculate the Earnout Payment and the relevant components thereof or its outcome or the factors relevant to the permitted form of the Earnout Payment for the three-year period from calendar year 2020 through calendar year 2022 for purposes of this Article III.

3.3 Dispute Resolution Procedure. Matters disputed pursuant to Section 3.2 may be referred by either the Purchaser or the Seller exclusively to the Independent Expert for determination in accordance with this Section 3.3. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Expert. All fees and expenses of the Independent Expert will be borne by the Purchaser. The Independent Expert will determine only those issues still in dispute as of the date that the dispute is referred to the Independent Expert, and the Independent Expert’s determination will be based solely upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination by the Independent Expert will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by the Purchaser and the Seller to the Independent Expert and not on the Independent Expert’s independent review; provided, that such presentations will be deemed to include any work papers, records, accounts or similar materials delivered to the Independent Expert by the Purchaser or the Seller in connection with such presentations and any materials delivered to the Independent Expert in response to requests by the Independent Expert. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser will use their reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Expert of the disputed items, and each such party will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other party and any questions and requests of the Independent Expert. In deciding any matter, the Independent Expert will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 3.3. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the procedures set forth in this Section 3.3 and the activities of the Independent Expert in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The Seller and the Purchaser will request that the Independent Expert’s determination be made within forty-five (45) days after its engagement, or as soon thereafter as possible and be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Purchaser and the Seller. The Purchaser and the Seller hereby agree that the Independent Expert’s determination will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error), and that following such determination, the Purchaser shall pay or issue, as applicable, any applicable Earnout Payment in the determined form in accordance with Section 3.1.

In addition, during the Earnout Period, Madhouse shall not, and the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall cause Madhouse not to:

(i) (A) effect any dividend or distribution of any portion of the cash of Madhouse, (B) enter into any intercompany loans or similar arrangements with the Purchaser or any Affiliates of the Purchaser or (C) other than the China Commercial Collaboration and Shared Services Agreement, enter into any intercompany arrangements or transactions with the Purchaser or any Affiliates of the Purchaser on pricing or terms less favorable than those which could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis or in accordance with the China Commercial Collaboration and Shared Services Agreement, in each case that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the amount of the Earnout Payment (if any) payable or potentially payable by the Purchaser (including by adversely impacting the underlying components from which the Earnout Payment is determined);

(ii) (A) incur any Indebtedness or other Liabilities except for such Indebtedness or Liabilities as they relate to the operation of Madhouse, or (B) incur any Indebtedness or other Liabilities on behalf of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with respect to any business other than that of Madhouse;

(iv) make any material change to its accounting practices, procedures or policies that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the amount of the Earnout Payment (if any) payable or potentially payable by the Purchaser (including by adversely impacting the underlying components from which the Earnout Payment is determined), except in each case as required by U.S. GAAP.

(b) In the event that the Purchaser Board (or the board of directors of any of its Subsidiaries) recommends any transaction of the type described in Section 3.4(a), any other acquisition of any business or disposition, divestiture or other transfer of any assets, properties or business, exclusive license, or any restructuring, reorganization, merger or other similar transaction, in any case, directly or indirectly involving Madhouse or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with Madhouse’s past practice), or any other action inconsistent with Section 3.4(a), in each case during the Earnout Period, Purchaser, Madhouse or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, may take the otherwise prohibited action if, and as a condition to the taking of otherwise prohibited action, (i) the Purchaser Board determines in good faith, after receipt of a favorable recommendation made by the Independent Director Committee, that such transaction or action would not materially adversely affect the Earnout Payment (including by materially adversely impacting the underlying components from which the Earnout Payment is determined) and (ii) Purchaser shall provide notice of such determination to the Seller before any commitment is made or agreement is entered into by the Purchaser with regard to such transaction or other action. If, within fifteen (15) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Seller objects to the Purchaser Board’s determination that such transaction or other action would not materially adversely affect the Earnout Payment, then the Seller and the Purchaser will attempt in good faith to resolve their differences and, if they are unable to do so, the Seller and the Purchaser shall engage the Independent Expert to determine, in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3, as applicable, (A) whether or not the proposed transaction or other action would materially adversely affect the Earnout Payment and, if so, (B) such action (if any) as is necessary to modify, as appropriate, the calculation of the underlying metrics from which the amount of the Earnout Payment is derived or the Earnout Payment is payable and the timing of any Earnout Payment so as to ensure that the Seller maintains substantially equivalent economic rights under Section 3.1 after such transaction so as to effect the original intention of the parties as closely as possible. The Purchaser and the Seller hereby agree that (i) the Independent Expert’s determination will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error) and (ii) the Purchaser shall not enter into any commitment or agreement with respect to such transaction before the later of (x) the fifteen (15) Business Day period referred to above and (y) such Independent Expert determination. In addition, in the event that a proposed transaction involves the sale of Madhouse, Madhouse’s business or any material portion of Madhouse’s assets (including that of its Subsidiaries), then prior to the consummation of such transaction, either (I) the Purchaser shall pay the Earnout Payment, as agreed by the parties or as determined by the Independent Expert pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), or (II) any buyer in such proposed transaction shall have expressly agreed in writing with the Company and the Seller as a condition to such transaction to assume all of the Purchaser’s obligations related to the Earnout Payment as if it were the Purchaser, except that payment of the Earnout Payment by any buyer shall be made entirely in cash.

(a) The Purchaser shall make appropriate arrangements to cause the funds in the Trust Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and for the payment of (i) all amounts payable to stockholders of the Purchaser holding Purchaser Units or Purchaser Common Shares who shall have validly redeemed their Purchaser Units or Purchaser Common Shares upon acceptance by the Purchaser of such Purchaser Units or Purchaser Common Shares, (ii) all the Transaction Expenses of the Seller and the Purchaser, respectively, incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that all such Transaction Expenses shall be paid at the Closing and (iii) the Deferred Underwriting Amount to the underwriter in the IPO. Following the payments described in the preceding sentence, the Trust Account shall terminate, except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement. The Purchaser shall not agree to, or permit, any amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Trust Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller.

(b) Reference is made to the final prospectus of the Purchaser, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-221116) (the “Prospectus”), and dated as of November 16, 2017. The Seller warrants and represents that it has read the Prospectus and understands that the Purchaser established a trust account containing the proceeds of the IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (collectively, with interest accrued from time to time thereon, the “Trust Fund”) initially in an amount of $300,000,000 for the benefit of the Purchaser’s public stockholders (the “Public Stockholders”) and certain parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Purchaser to pay franchise and income taxes and up to $750,000 annually for working capital purposes, that the Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Fund only: (i) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem the shares of Purchaser Class A Common Shares in connection with the consummation of the Purchaser’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”), (ii) to the Public Stockholders if the Purchaser fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or (iii) to the Purchaser after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Purchaser entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Seller hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Fund or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, any proposed or actual business relationship between the Seller and the Purchaser, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Claims”). The Seller hereby irrevocably waives any Claims it may have against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Purchaser and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, for an alleged breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 6.7 shall not affect any other rights or remedies of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith or in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not limited to a breach of this Agreement). The Seller agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Purchaser to induce it to enter in this Agreement, and the Seller further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable law. To the extent the Seller commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Purchaser, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Purchaser, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Fund and that such claim shall not permit the Seller (or any party claiming on the Seller’s behalf or in lieu of the Seller) to have any claim against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall be entitled to seek any and all remedies available at law or in equity with respect to any funds from the Trust Fund that are not subject to the limitations provided in this Section 6.7(b) including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.22(c).

6.8 Effect of Purchaser Stockholder Redemptions. Prior to the Closing and pursuant to the Redemption Side Letter, in the event that the number of Purchaser Class A Common Shares that are redeemed by the stockholders of the Purchaser exceeds the threshold specified in the Redemption Side Letter, then (a) a certain number of shares of Purchaser’s Class F common stock shall be forfeited by the holders thereof in accordance with the terms and the formula set forth in the Redemption Side Letter and (b) the holders of Purchaser’s Class F common stock will receive the right to be issued a number of Class A Common Shares equal to the number of such forfeited shares of Purchaser’s Class F common stock (subject to adjustment) upon the achievement of certain stock price criteria of the Purchaser set forth in the Redemption Side Letter, and subject in all respects to the terms and conditions thereof.

6.9 Management and Key Employees. Schedule 6.9 lists those individuals designated by the Group Companies as management and key employees of the Group Companies (the “Key Personnel”).

In the event that any party believes that it is required to disclose any such confidential information pursuant to applicable Laws, such party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, give timely written notice to the other party so that such party may have an opportunity to obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief, and such party shall only disclose the minimum amount of such confidential information that is so required to be disclosed. The parties acknowledge that some previously confidential information will be required under applicable Law to be disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

6.18 Directors’ and Officers’ Tail Policy. Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance policies reasonably acceptable to the Seller extending coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing covering (as direct beneficiaries) those Persons who are currently covered by the applicable Group Company’s and the Purchaser’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, in each case of the type and with the amount of coverage no less favorable than those of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained as of the Agreement Date by, or for the benefit of, the applicable Group Company and the Purchaser, as applicable. This Section 6.18 is intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, those Persons who are currently covered by the applicable Group Company’s and the Purchaser’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies and their respective heirs, legatees, representatives, successors and assigns.

6.19 Amending Governing Documents. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the Existing Charter and Existing Bylaws to be amended and restated in their entirety in the forms of the Amended and Restated Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws, respectively (among other things that the Purchaser deems necessary to reflect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the change of Purchaser’s name to Blue Impact Inc.).

6.20 Earnout. Following the Closing, the parties shall comply with the provisions of Article III.

6.21 Retention of Closing Payment Shares. At all times during the Survival Period, the Seller will ensure that the Closing Payment Shares are available to the Seller to serve as a potential source to satisfy any potential indemnification obligations of the Seller hereunder.

6.22 Extension.

(a) In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, on August 14, 2019, the Purchaser filed with the SEC a Proxy Statement calling a special meeting of the Purchaser Common Stockholders (the “Extension Stockholders Meeting”), to be held prior to November 21, 2019, seeking the approval of the Purchaser Common Stockholders to (i) amend the Existing Charter (the “Existing Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Purchaser has to consummate a “Business Combination” through May 20, 2020, provided that such extension shall initially be through January 21, 2020 (the “Initial Extension Date”) and thereafter it shall be extended by the Purchaser in accordance with the Seller’s request for additional 30 days periods ending on May 20, 2020 (such Initial Extension Date and any subsequent 30 days periods, the “Outside Extended Date”), (ii) amend the Trust Agreement (the “Extension Trust Amendment”) to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the Trust Account in the event Purchaser has not consummated a “Business Combination” by the extended date and to make any other amendments as may be necessary and (iii) any other matters that would be required to be presented at the Extension Stockholders Meeting (such proposals being an “Extension”). The Purchaser shall file such proxy statement sufficiently in advance to ensure that the Extension Stockholders Meeting is held at such time to allow the Extension.

(b) In the event that the Extension is approved by the Purchaser Common Stockholders pursuant to Section 6.22(a), the Seller shall provide a loan (the “Initial Loan”) to the Purchaser in an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) up to $0.10, and if lower than $0.10, as determined by the Purchaser in good faith consultation with the Seller, multiplied by (B) the number of Purchaser Class A Common Shares outstanding on the date of the Initial Loan that were not redeemed prior to such date, plus (ii) the loan amount specified in a certificate to the Seller signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Purchaser (the “CEO Certificate”), certifying that the Purchaser has reasonably determined that such loan amount is necessary to be loaned from the Seller to the Purchaser for it to be able to pay any further costs and expenses and continue operations through the earlier of the Closing or the Outside Extended Date, taking into account all cash resources available to the Purchaser at the relevant time from any source, including any amounts available from the Trust Fund and any interest payments available in connection therewith, which loan amount shall not exceed $300,000.

(c) In the event that after the Initial Loan the Seller requests that the Purchaser extend the then-current Outside Extended Date by an additional 30 days in accordance with Section 6.22(a), then the Purchaser shall so extend the Outside Extended Date and the Seller shall provide a loan (each, an “Additional Loan” and together with the Initial Loan and any other Additional Loans, the “Seller Loans”) to the Purchaser in an amount not to exceed one million dollars (US$ 1,000,000), provided that the Purchaser delivered to the Seller a CEO Certificate, which CEO Certificate shall be delivered by the Purchaser to the Seller prior to the Seller’s determination whether or not to request extension of the then-current Outside Extended Date. The Seller Loans will be repayable by the Purchaser at the Closing or upon consummation of any initial business combination. The Seller Loans will be forgiven by the Seller if the Closing does not occur and the Trust Account liquidates, except to the extent of any funds that are available to the Purchaser (i) after such liquidation in accordance with the Trust Agreement, or (ii) from any other source.

(d) If the Purchaser Common Stockholders approve the Extension at the Extension Stockholders Meeting, the parties hereto shall make any and all necessary amendments to this Agreement to reflect the Extension, subject to Section 11.2.

6.23 Incapacitation of Purchaser CEO. If prior to Closing the Purchaser CEO shall have become Incapacitated, the Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate in good faith to identify and agree upon and engage an alternative individual to serve as the chief executive officer of the Purchaser from and after the Closing.

Subject to Sections 8.4 and 8.7 and the other provisions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing Date, the Indemnifying Party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Controlled subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies), their respective Representatives and the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Indemnified Party”), against and in respect of any and all losses, interest, penalties, costs, expenses, Actions, Liabilities, Taxes, judgments, deficiencies or damages but for the avoidance of doubt not including any such amounts incurred in connection with any indemnification claim hereunder by the Indemnified Party to the extent that the Indemnified Party is not successful in such claim (all of the foregoing collectively, “Losses”) paid, suffered, incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon the Indemnified Party to the extent arising in whole or in part out of or as a result of or in connection with (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim):

(a) the failure of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained herein to be true and correct as of the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date as if made at the Closing;

(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by the Seller or, with respect to any periods prior to the Closing Date, any Group Company, in this Agreement or any Additional Agreement;

8.3 Payment by the Indemnifying Party.

(a) Any amounts owing to the Indemnified Party hereunder after Final Resolution of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII (a “Claim”) shall be paid as follows:

(i) if Final Resolution of a Claim occurs prior to the finalization of the Earnout Statement, or if it is determined pursuant to Section 3.1 that no Earnout Payment is due hereunder, then any amounts owing to the Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim shall be resolved via a payment of cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business after the after Final Resolution; or

(ii) if Final Resolution of a Claim occurs following the finalization of the Earnout Statement, and it is determined pursuant to Section 3.1 that an Earnout Payment is due hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party may, in its sole discretion, elect to resolve any amounts owing to the Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim via either (A) a payment of cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (B) a payment of a combination of cash, Purchaser Class A Common Shares or reduction of any subordinated note due to Seller thereunder, in the same proportion as received by the Seller in the Earnout Payment (and in which case the value of each transferred Purchaser Class A Common Share shall be calculated in the same manner as set forth in the Earnout Provisions), in each case within ten (10) Business after the after Final Resolution.

(b) All payments pursuant to this Article VIII will be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4.

8.4 Limitations and General Indemnification Provisions:

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to any Losses under a Claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(d) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses under all Claims of the Indemnified Party made pursuant to such sections exceeds US$3,000,000 (the “Deductible”), at which time those additional Losses incurred exceeding and excluding the amount of the Deductible shall be subject to indemnification hereunder, provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 8.4(a)(i) shall not apply to any Fraud Claims;

(ii) the Indemnifying Party’s aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b) and Section 8.1(d) shall not exceed US$50,000,000 (the “Cap”), including the valuation of any Purchaser Class A Common Shares used for payment of any Claim pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.3, provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 8.4(a)(ii) shall not apply to any Fraud Claims;

(iii) The Indemnifying Party’s aggregate liability pursuant to Section 8.1(c) shall not exceed any amount due by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to 2.8(e)(ii).

(iv) From the third anniversary of the Closing through the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (A) the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to any Losses under a Claim pursuant to Section 8.1(f) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses under all Claims of the Indemnified Party made pursuant to such section exceeds US$500,000, at which time those additional Losses incurred exceeding and including US$500,000 shall be subject to indemnification hereunder, and (B) the Indemnifying Party’s aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(f) shall not exceed an amount equal to US$5,000,000, including the valuation of any Purchaser Class A Common Shares used for payment of any Claim pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.3, provided, however, that in each case the limitations set forth in this Section 8.4(a)(iv) shall not apply to any Fraud Claims;

(v) in no event shall any Loss be recoverable under the terms of this Agreement to the extent it consists of or is based upon punitive, special or exemplary damages, except to the extent awarded to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim; and

(vi) after the expiration of the survival periods set forth in Section 8.2, as applicable, the Indemnifying Party shall have no further Liability for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII other than with respect to Claims already made as provided in this Article VIII.

(b) Promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller contained in this Agreement or any other claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate and minimize all Losses that could result from or relate to such breach or claim. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as a purchase price adjustment for Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law. To the extent the Indemnified Party recognizes any net Tax Benefits as a result of any Losses in the taxable year of such Indemnified Party in which such indemnity payment is made (or, if applicable, a prior taxable year), the Indemnified Party will pay the amount of such Tax Benefits to the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days of such Tax Benefits being recognized by the Indemnified Party (to the extent such Tax Benefits are recognized prior to the payment of the Losses, the amount of the Losses will be reduced by the amount of the Tax Benefit actually recognized). For this purpose, the Indemnified Party will be deemed to recognize a Tax Benefit (the “Tax Benefit”) with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Party’s liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Losses, exceeds the Indemnified Party’s actual liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Losses.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Seller shall not have any liability or indemnification obligation for any Taxes of the Group Companies (i) resulting from any action taken on the Closing Date after the Closing by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) that is outside the ordinary course of business or (ii) that are incurred in or relate to a Post-Closing Tax Period (as determined under the principles set forth in Section 6.15(d)).

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, solely for purposes of determining the amount of Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification or reimbursement hereunder, each representation and warranty in this Agreement will be read without regard and without giving effect to the terms “material” or “Company Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Adverse Effect” or similar phrases contained in such representation or warranty which have the effect of making such representation and warranty less restrictive (as if such word or qualification were deleted from such representation and warranty).

(e) The Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification for Losses suffered by it if, and to the extent, it (including Purchaser) has already been fully compensated with respect to the underlying circumstances relating to such Losses in a post-Closing adjustment under Section 2.8 or otherwise under this Agreement.

8.5 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by the Indemnified Party for indemnification:

(a) In the event the Indemnified Party desires to make a Claim, the Purchaser shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party, setting forth (i) the nature of and factual and legal basis for the Claim in reasonable detail and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses for which indemnification is being sought that have been incurred, or to the extent not yet incurred, a good faith estimate of the amount of such Losses reasonably expected to be incurred (the “Claim Amount”). Any Claim Amount or any other matter set forth in a Claim Notice will be deemed to be finally resolved for purposes of this Article VIII when (A) resolved by a written agreement executed by the Purchaser and the Seller or (B) resolved by a final, nonappealable order, decision or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator (clauses (A) and (B), together, a “Final Resolution”).

(b) The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, prompt notice (and within no more than 10 days) of any Third Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 (a “Third Party Claim Notice”), which shall include the same information as a Claim Notice. The failure to give the Third- Party Claim Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Article VIII, except to the extent such failure actually prejudices any right, defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received from the counterparty in such third party Action by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim by written notice to the Purchaser within sixty (60) days of delivery of the Third Party Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.5(c), then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept reasonably informed by the Indemnifying Party and its legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the Indemnifying Party so assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include the Indemnified Party and counsel for the Purchaser and the Indemnifying Party agrees that there is an actual conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense thereof, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be Losses eligible for submission in a Claim, subject to the other terms of this Article VIII. The Indemnifying Party shall seek the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim to the extent such settlement or compromise: (A) includes equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (B) involves the resolution of criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (C) will impose liability that will not be satisfied in full by the Cap.

(d) To the extent the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of Section 8.5(c), the Purchaser may elect to conduct such defense, using legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8.6 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third party reimbursement actually received. In the event that a recovery is made by the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of the Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses for which the Indemnified Party has already been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party.

8.7 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as expressly set forth otherwise, this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Party from and after the Closing and shall be in lieu of any other remedies that may be available to the Indemnified Party under any other agreement or pursuant to any statutory or common law with respect to any Losses directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of any claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief, or any right or remedy arising by reason of any Fraud Claims.

The determination of a majority of the Arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties and not subject to appeal.

(h) Any judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrators may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

Each of the parties to this Agreement further acknowledge that each has read and understands the meaning of this waiver and grants this waiver knowingly, voluntarily, without duress and only after consideration of the consequences of this waiver with legal counsel.

(d) by either the Purchaser or the Seller, at any time prior to the Closing, if the Purchaser fails to obtain the Purchaser Required Vote at the Purchaser Stockholder Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) at which a vote is taken on the Required Approval Matters;

(e) by the Purchaser (whether prior to or after the receipt of the Purchaser Required Vote), if the Seller has breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b), and (ii) is not cured by the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days following the Purchaser’s delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to the Seller and (y) the Outside Extended Date;

11.4 Publicity.

(a) Except as required by Law and except with respect to the Purchaser SEC Documents, the parties agree that neither they nor their agents shall issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder without the prior approval of the other party hereto provided, however, that each party may make any such announcement which it in good faith believes, based on advice of counsel, is necessary or advisable in connection with any requirement of Law, it being understood and agreed that each party shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, confer with the other parties concerning the timing and content of such press release or public announcement before the same is made.

(b) The Seller and the Purchaser shall mutually agree upon and, as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement (but in any event within four (4) Business Days thereafter), issue a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement (the “Signing Press Release”). Promptly after the issuance of the Signing Press Release (but in any event within four (4) Business Days after the execution of this Agreement), the Purchaser shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Signing Filing”) with the Signing Press Release and a description of this Agreement as required by applicable federal securities Laws, which the Seller shall have the right to review, comment upon and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to filing. The Seller and the Purchaser shall mutually agree upon and, as promptly as practicable after the Closing (but in any event within four (4) Business Days thereafter), issue a press release announcing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing Press Release”). Promptly after the issuance of the Closing Press Release (but in any event within four (4) Business Days after the Closing), the Purchaser shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Closing Filing”) with the Closing Press Release and a description of the Closing as required by federal securities Laws which the Seller shall have the right to review, comment upon and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to filing. In connection with the preparation of the Signing Press Release, the Signing Filing, the Closing Press Release or the Closing Filing, each party shall, upon written request by any other party, furnish such other party with all information concerning itself, its directors, officers and equityholders, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary for such report, statement, filing, notice or application.

11.6 No Assignment or Delegation. No party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that without prior written consent, the Seller may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (on a full or partial basis, permanently or temporarily, or for one or more specific instances or circumstances) under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates.

11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple original, PDF or facsimile counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each party of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each party of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but need not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties.

11.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Additional Agreements sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral).

Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or any Additional Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. No party has relied on any representation from, or warranty or agreement of, any person in entering into this Agreement, prior hereto or contemporaneous herewith or any Additional Agreement, except those expressly stated herein or therein.

11.10 Severability. A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

11.11 Construction. In this Agreement:

(a) References to particular sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits not otherwise specified are cross-references to sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits of this Agreement.

(b) The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and, unless the context requires otherwise, “party” means a party signatory hereto.

(c) Any use of the singular or plural, or the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, includes the others, unless the context otherwise requires; “including” means “including without limitation”; “or” means “and/or”; “any” means “any one, more than one, or all”; and, unless otherwise specified, any financial or accounting term has the meaning of the term under U.S. GAAP.

The mere inclusion of an item in a schedule as an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item would have a Company Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Adverse Effect or Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or establish any standard of materiality to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given within a specified number of days following a specific date or event, the day of such date or event is not counted in determining the last day for such action or notice.

(f) Captions are not a part of this Agreement, but are included for convenience, only.

11.12 Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver such documents and take such action, as may reasonably be considered within the scope of such party’s obligations hereunder, necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Additional Agreements.

11.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof confers any benefit or right upon or may be enforced by any Person not a signatory hereto.

11.14 Waiver. Reference is made to the final IPO prospectus of the Purchaser, dated November 17, 2017 (the “Prospectus”). The Seller has read the Prospectus and understands that the Purchaser has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the public stockholders of the Purchaser and the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of the Purchaser agreeing to enter into this Agreement, the Seller hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and hereby agrees that it will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Purchaser; provided that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Seller’s right to pursue a claim against the Purchaser for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including a claim for the Purchaser to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect the Purchaser’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Purchaser Stockholder Redemption, and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Seller may have in the future against the Purchaser’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account upon completion of a “Business Combination” as such term is defined in the Existing Charter (except such amounts that are paid or payable to stockholders of the Purchaser holding Purchaser Common Shares sold in the IPO who shall have elected to redeem their Purchaser Common Shares pursuant to the Existing Charter and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

11.15 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may be enforced only against, and any dispute, claim or controversy based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney, advisor, lender or representative or Affiliate of any named party to this Agreement (which Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.15) shall have any liability (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of such named party or for any dispute, claim or controversy based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

KNOWLEDGE OF SELLER

SCHEDULE II

EARNOUT PROVISIONS

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) to which these Earnout Provisions are attached.

Section 1. Earn-out Calculation; Indemnity Offset:

The “Earnout Payment” is the amount determined in accordance with Section 2 based on the Madhouse EBITDA Average Annual Growth Rate for the three year performance period (i.e., calendar years 2020-2022), with the Earnout Payment subject to reduction or offset for:

(x) the Madhouse Increased Working Capital Deduction (if any); and

(y) any indemnifiable Losses in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of the Agreement and to the extent not previously indemnified in cash.

As described in Section 6 below, Seller has assigned a portion of the Earnout Payment actually received in connection with formation of a long-term incentive plan.

Sch-II-1

Section 2. Earnout Payment; Certain Definitions:

The “Earnout Payment” is determined (before any reduction as provided in Section 1) based on the Madhouse EBITDA Annual Average Growth Rate in accordance with the following table:

Madhouse EBITDA Annual Average Growth Rate	Earnout Payment
< 5%	Zero
5%	$29,000,0000
> 5% but less than or equal to 15%	$29,000,000 plus the product of (i) $71,000,000 times (ii) (X minus 5%) divided by 10%)
15%	$100,000,000
> 15% but less than or equal to 25%	$100,000,000 plus the product of (i) $122,000,000 times (ii) (X minus 15%) divided by 10%)
25% or greater	$222,000,000

where, X = the Madhouse EBITDA Annual Average Growth Rate (expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest 1/100^th of 1%)

“Borrowed Indebtedness” means, without duplication, the sum of (i) Indebtedness for borrowed money (including any principal, premium, accrued and unpaid interest, related expenses, prepayment penalties, commitment and other fees) and (ii) obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments.

“Designated Working Capital” means, as of any particular time, the difference, whether positive or negative, of (a) total current assets of Madhouse (excluding Cash) minus (b) total current liabilities of Madhouse, excluding the current portion of any Borrowed Indebtedness of Madhouse.

“Designated Working Capital Increase Related Interest Cost” means in respect of calendar year 2020, 2021 and 2022, as applicable, the result of (i) the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate month-end Designated Working Capital balances for each month of such year divided by 12 over (b) $46,000,000 times (ii) the higher of (x) the Purchaser’s average annual bank borrowing rate for such year and (y) the average annual bank financing rate that Madhouse actually incurred in such year.

Sch-II-2

“Madhouse Adjusted EBITDA” means Madhouse’s earnings (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) for calendar years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, as applicable, plus (a) each of the following, but only to the extent deducted in determining such amount in such period and without duplication: (i) interest or finance expense of Madhouse, (ii) income Taxes for the period in question, surcharge Taxes and corporation Taxes of Madhouse, (iii) depreciation and amortization of Madhouse (including the depreciation or amortization of amounts incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement), (iv) non-operating expenses (including any extraordinary expenses and extraordinary losses), and (v) any expenses directly attributable to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (including (x) Reorganization related expenses, (y) for avoidance of doubt, expenses or Taxes resulting from the assignment or payment to Madhouse management or employees of a portion of the Earnout Payment otherwise paid or payable to the Seller (whether pursuant to a long-term incentive plan established for such purpose or otherwise) and (z) cash amounts otherwise paid to acquire the 18.09% Madhouse Minority Interest not owned by the Seller as of the Agreement Date); minus (b) each of the following, but only to the extent such items increase Madhouse’s earnings for such period and without duplication: (i) interest income and (ii) non-operating income (including any extraordinary gains and any extraordinary income) and minus (c) the Designated Working Capital Increase Related Interest Cost (if any) for such period (beginning with calendar year 2020).

“Madhouse EBITDA Average Annual Growth Rate” is defined in, and determined in accordance with the provisions of, Section 3 below.

“Madhouse Increased Working Capital Deduction” means the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate month-end Designated Working Capital balances for each calendar month during the 2020-2022 performance period divided by 36 over (ii) $46,000,000.

Section 3. Madhouse EBITDA Growth Rates.

The Madhouse EBITDA Annual Average Growth Rate in respect of the three-year measurement period from 2020-2022 and Madhouse EBITDA Annual Growth Rate with respect to each calendar year in such period shall be calculated as set forth in this Section 3.

Except as provided below, the “Madhouse EBITDA Annual Growth Rate” for calendar years 2020, 2021 and 2022, as applicable, equals (x) the excess (expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest 1/100^th of 1%) of (i) Madhouse’s Adjusted EBITDA for the year in question divided by (ii) Madhouse’s Adjusted EBITDA for the immediately prior year minus (y) 100%. For example, the calculation for calendar year 2020 is: 2020 Adjusted EBITDA/ 2019 Adjusted EBITDA minus 100%.

However, if the EBITDA Annual Growth Rate is negative in any of the three years in the measurement period, the denominator in the subsequent year’s EBITDA Annual Growth Rate calculation will be the greater dollar value of Madhouse Adjusted EBITDA for the two most recent prior years.

The “Madhouse EBITDA Annual Average Growth Rate” for the measurement period (expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest 1/100^th of 1%) equals the quotient of (i) the sum of the Madhouse EBITDA Annual Growth Rates for calendar years 2020, 2021 and 2022 divided by (ii) 3.

Sch-II-3

The following examples assume, among other things, 2019 Madhouse Adjusted EBITDA of $29 million and are provided for illustrative purposes only.

Scenario A			Scenario B
		EBITDA Annual Growth Rate		EBITDA Annual Growth Rate
Year	Madhouse’s Adjusted EBITDA		Madhouse’s Adjusted EBITDA
2019	$29.0M		$29.0 M
2020	$33.3M	14.83%	$27.6M	(4.83%)
2021	$37.4M	12.31%	$37.0M	27.59%¹
And 2022	$43.4M	16.04%	$43.4M	17.30%

	EBITDA Annual Average Growth Rate	14.39%		13.35%

Section 4. 2019 Madhouse Adjusted EBITDA; Earnout Statement.

(a) As soon as practicable (but in any event within forty-five (45) days) after the completion of the relevant audited consolidated financial statements for calendar year 2019, Purchaser’s CFO or Seller (if the Closing has not occurred prior to such date) will prepare and deliver to the other party a statement (constituting the “2019 Earnout Statement”) setting forth the calculation in reasonable detail of 2019 Madhouse Adjusted EBITDA.

(b) Subject to the timing requirements of Section 3.2 of the Agreement, following the completion of Purchaser’s audited financial statements for calendar year 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Purchaser’s CFO will prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement (constituting the “2020 Earnout Statement”, “2021 Earnout Statement” and “2022 Earnout Statement”, respectively) setting forth in reasonable detail:

(i) for the 2020 and 2021 Earnout Statement, Purchaser CFO’s determination of the relevant components and calculations proposed to be used in the determination of the Earnout Payment (as contemplated below) in conjunction with the delivery of the 2022 Earnout Statement; and

Due to the negative EBITDA Annual Growth Rate in 2020 under Scenario B, the Madhouse EBITDA Annual Growth Rate for 2021 (expressed as a percentage) is calculated as: (i) 2021 Adjusted EBITDA divided by 2019 Adjusted EBITDA ($37.0/$29.0 million (or 127.59%)) minus (ii) 100% (or 27.59%).

Sch-II-4

(ii) for the 2022 Earnout Statement,

(x) the Purchaser CFO’s determination of:

(1) the Earnout Payment (including the relevant components and calculations thereof);

(2) the offset, if any, with respect to any Madhouse Increased Working Capital Deduction; and

(3) any previously unpaid indemnifiable Losses that may be potentially offset against the Earnout Payment in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of the Agreement; and

(y) subject to the provisions of Section 5 below, the proposed form of the Earnout Payment.

(c) The calculations and relevant amounts prepared or determined in accordance paragraph (a) and (b) above shall be based on, as applicable, Madhouse’s standalone balance sheet and income statement for the relevant period or date for 2019 and the 2020-2022 performance period as derived from the Purchaser’s audited financial statements (or, if applicable in respect of 2019, as derived Seller’s audited financial statements). The 2020 and 2021 Earnout Statements shall be for information purposes only. The 2019 Earnout Statement as delivered pursuant to paragraph (a) shall be binding on Purchaser and Seller except either party may dispute the calculation of and elect to resolve any related dispute with respect to 2019 Adjusted EBITDA by electing to follow the dispute procedures of Section 3.2 and 3.3 of the Agreement (applied as appropriate and including for avoidance of doubt the obligation to seek to first resolve the dispute between the parties through negotiation).

(d) Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the Agreement contain, among others, provisions with respect to (i) the establishment of the Independent Director Committee, which shall be responsible for all determinations to be made by the Purchaser in connection with the Earnout Payment; (ii) the review by the Seller of the Earnout Statement; (iii) settlement on behalf of Purchaser of any disputes with Seller in respect to the Earnout Statement and (iv) the retention of and necessary access to work papers, information and personnel.

Section 5. Composition of Earnout Payment; Obligation to Obtain Cash Funding.

(a) If the VWAP for the Purchaser Common Shares for the ninety (90) trading days preceding and including December 31, 2022 (the “90-day VWAP”) is greater than or equal to $10.00 per share (adjusted for stock splits, combinations or the like after the Agreement Date), the Purchaser will have the option to make the Earnout Payment in Purchaser Common Shares (using the 90-day VWAP in calculating the number of shares to be delivered), in cash or in a combination thereof.

(b) If the 90-day VWAP is less than $10.00 per share (adjusted for stock splits, combinations or the like after the date of the Agreement), the Purchaser shall, to the extent it has available cash or the ability within 90 business days to obtain such cash, make the Earnout Payment in cash with any unpaid balance paid to the Seller in the form a subordinated note (subject to the provisions of this Section 5).

Sch-II-5

(c) If any portion of the Earnout Payment payable to the Seller is proposed to be paid other than in the form of Purchaser Common Shares, the Earnout Statement shall be accompanied by (i) the related funding plan with respect to the cash portion and (ii) if applicable, the terms of any Purchaser subordinated note.

(d) The Purchaser shall take such actions as may be reasonably required or requested by the Seller to promptly pay the Earnout Payment to the Seller in the Purchaser’s proposed or required form and to resolve any disputed indemnity claim (as provided in Article VIII of the Agreement). If there is any dispute with respect to any indemnifiable Losses proposed to offset the Earnout Payment in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of the Agreement, the Purchaser will pay the undisputed amount of the Earnout Payment. Following resolution of any disputed Losses, any additional payment with respect to the Earnout Payment shall be made (i) if the 90-day VWAP was greater than or equal to $10.00 per share (adjusted for stock splits, combinations or the like after the Agreement Date), in the same proportion of cash and Purchaser Common Shares as the initial payment of a portion of Earnout Payment or (ii) if otherwise, first in cash and then in subordinated notes.

(e) To the extent the Purchaser elects to, or is required to, pay the Earnout Payment in cash, the Purchaser shall incur Borrowed Indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms sufficient to pay the proposed or required cash component; provided that the Purchaser shall not be so obligated to incur Borrowed Indebtedness if such borrowings would cause the Purchaser’s Leverage Ratio to exceed 4.0x Pro Forma Borrowed Indebtedness. If the Earnout Payment would cause the Purchaser’s Leverage Ratio to exceed 4.0x Pro Forma Borrowed Indebtedness, any excess amount due pursuant to the Earnout Payment shall be payable in (x) Purchaser Common Shares if Section 5(a) (VWAP greater than or equal to $10.00 per share) is applicable or (y) otherwise a subordinated promissory note provided it does not violate the terms, conditions or covenants of any existing debt facilities or other obligations or agreements that the Purchaser may have outstanding at the time. Any such subordinated promissory note will (i) have a term of no longer than four (4) years with at least 5% of the initial principal amount amortized annually over the life of the term, (ii) be priced based on an opinion (of a financial advisor to be reasonably acceptable to the Seller) of current market terms for comparable credits rated BBB- by S&P or Fitch, or rated Baa3 Moodys, (iii) have other mutually agreed terms consistent with a subordinated debt offering and (iv) be prepayable by the Purchaser at any time prior to the initial maturity without penalty.

“Leverage Ratio” means the ratio of (i) Pro Forma Borrowed Indebtedness to (ii) 2022 Adjusted EBITDA.

“Pro Forma Borrowed Indebtedness” means the Purchaser’s consolidated Borrowed Indebtedness as reflected on its December 31, 2022 audited balance sheet plus, without duplication, the aggregate amount of any (i) cash purchase price, expenses and contingent liabilities related to contemplated acquisitions or investments, (ii) contemplated capital expenditures, (iii) cash bonuses or (iv) any other existing or contemplated corporate obligations or contingent obligations in cash (including the Earnout Payment hereunder) actually incurred or expected to be incurred within six (6) months from the date of determination.

“VWAP” means the volume weighted average trading price of Purchaser Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other national securities exchange that is the principal U.S. trading market for Purchaser Common Shares).

Section 6. Assignment by Seller of a Specified Portion of the Earnout Payment.

Seller has partially and irrevocably assigned a portion of the Earnout Payment 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. The assigned portion of any Earnout Payment (the “Assigned Earnout Payment”) is determined based on the amount of the Earnout Payment (without regard to any deductions contemplated by Section 1) as provided below:

Madhouse Earnout Payment	Assigned Earnout Payment
< or equal to $30,000,000	Zero
> than $30,000,000 but less than or equal to $60,000,000	the product of (x) $12,000,000 times (y) the quotient of (i) the Earnout Payment minus $30,000,000 divided by (ii) $30,000,000
$60,000,000	20% of the Earnout Payment (or $12,000,000)
> than $60,000,000 but less than or equal to $100,000,000	$12,000,000 plus the product of (x) $18,000,000 times (y) the quotient of (i) the Earnout Payment minus $60,000,000 divided by (ii) $40,000,000
$100,000,000	30% of the Earnout Payment (or $30,000,000))
> than $100,000,000 but less than or equal to $150,000,000	$30,000,000 plus the product of (x) $30,000,000 times (y) the quotient of (i) the Earnout Payment minus $100,000,000 divided by (ii) $50,000,000
$150,000,000	40% of the Earnout Payment (or $60,000,000)
> than $150,000,000 but less than or equal to $222,000,000	$60,000,000 plus the product of (x) $51,000,000 times (y) the quotient of (i) the Earnout Payment minus $150,000,000 divided by (ii) $72,000,000
$222,000,000	50% of the Earnout Payment (or $111,000,000)

By way of example (rounding to two decimal places for illustrative purposes):

(1) if the Earnout Payment (before any deductions contemplated by Section 1) is $55,000,000, the Assigned Earnout Payment would be $10,000,000 being the product of (x) $12,000,000 (i.e., the Assigned Earnout Payment if the Earnout Payment were $60,000,000) times (y) 83.33% (i.e., the quotient of (i) $25,000,000 (i.e., the $55,000,000 Earnout Payment minus $30,000,000) divided by (ii) $30,000,000) and;

(2) if the Earnout Payment (before any deductions contemplated by Section 1) is $175,000,000, the Assigned Earnout Payment would be $77,708,300 (being $60,000,000 (i.e., the Assigned Earnout Payment if the Earnout Payment were $150,000,000) plus $17,708,300 (being the product of (x) $51,000,000 (i.e., the potential additional assigned amount if the Earnout Payment were $222,000,000) and (y) 34.72% (i.e., the quotient of $25,000,000 (being the $175,000,000 Earnout Payment minus $150,000,000) divided by $72,000,000).

The assigned portion of the Earnout Payment expressed in nominal dollars (based on the Assigned Earnout Payment Percentage) will be subject to reduction based on the deductions contemplated by Section 1 (as specified in the long-term incentive plan). The allocation of such assigned portion, as so reduced, to the designated individuals shall be determined at Seller’s discretion provided that Seller shall not receive any portion of such amounts.
