Conduct of the Business during the Earnout Period

notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement it shall not, and it shall procure that the Buyer Group shall not and the Company shall not, make any act or omission which is primarily designed to or which is likely to (i) prevent payment of the Earnout Consideration (or any portion thereof) or (ii) artificially reduce the amount of the Earnout Consideration (or any portion thereof);

it will not make any material change to the nature of the business of the Company; and

3.3.

the Company will not enter into any agreement or incur any commitment which is not in the ordinary course of business, or which is not on arms’ length terms.

The Buyer shall be permitted to take any action or cause or allow any action to be taken by the Company which would otherwise contravene paragraphs 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 provided that before such proposed activity is undertaken or permitted, either (i) the written consent of the Seller is obtained; or (ii) an adjustment to the calculation of any or all of the Company’s EBITDA is made to ensure that the effect of the proposed activity on those calculations is neutral.

Earnout Statement

The Relevant EBITDA Amounts shall be calculated by the Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Earnout Period, using accounting policies and principles consistent with those accounting policies and principles used by Games Global in the eighteen months preceding the end of the Earnout Period, including Games Global’s policy for capitalisation of developments costs.

A written statement (“Earnout Statement”) of the amount of the Relevant EBITDA Amounts and the Earnout Consideration, together with details of the calculations, shall be delivered to the Seller upon completion of the calculation pursuant to paragraph 4.1 above, in the form of a certificate prepared by the Buyer.

If they are unable to resolve the dispute within 21 days after delivery of the certificate to the Seller, the dispute shall immediately be submitted by either the Buyer or the Sellers to the auditors of Games Global (the “Expert”), on the request of either the Buyer or the Seller. The Expert shall determine and deliver written notice of the determination of the amount of the Relevant EBITDA Amounts to the Seller and Buyer within 45 days from the date of its appointment and, in doing so, shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

4.4.

The Seller and the Buyer shall each have and they shall procure that the Expert has full access to the books and records of the Company as they shall each deem reasonably necessary for each to be able to review in detail the calculation of the Relevant EBITDA Amounts (together with all supporting information relied on in making the calculation).
