Such Earn-Out Payments shall be calculated and determined by the Acquiror’s management for each Anniversary Year on the basis of the financial statements of Amalco, which calculation or determination shall be reviewed by an independent mutually approved accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”), and the Acquiror shall prepare and deliver to Amalco, on behalf of the Acquiree Shareholders, a written statement therefor (in each case, an “Earn-Out Calculation Statement”) setting forth its calculation and determination of Amalco’s EBITDA for the applicable Anniversary Year and its calculation of the resulting Earn-Out Payment, if any. Amalco, on behalf of the Acquiree Shareholders, shall have 30 days after receipt of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for each Anniversary Year (in each case, the “Earn-Out Review Period”) to review the Earn-Out Calculation Statement. During the Earn-Out Review Period and upon reasonable advanced written notice to Acquiror, Amalco shall have reasonable access (in all cases by electronic means to the extent available) to the relevant Books and Records of Acquiror, the personnel of Acquiror, the work papers prepared by Acquiror and the financial information relating to the determinations of Amalco’s EBITDA and the resulting Earn-Out Payment (if any), in each case, solely to the extent (i) reasonably requested by Amalco for the purposes of reviewing the Earn-Out Calculation Statement and to prepare an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice (as defined below), (ii) that such materials reasonably relate to the determinations of Amalo’s EBITDA and the resulting Earn-Out Payment, and (iii) Amalco and its representatives shall undertake to keep such information, materials, documents, and conversations confidential and shall not disclose the same to any third party.

(c)

On or prior to the last day of the Earn-Out Review Period, Amalco may object to the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment amount set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for the applicable measurement period by delivering to Acquiror a written statement setting forth Amalco’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Amalco’s disagreement therewith (an “Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice”). In the event such Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice is delivered by Amalco, Acquiror shall have the right to withhold payment of the corresponding Earn-Out Payment for such Anniversary Year until such time as the objection has been resolved. For avoidance of doubt, Acquiror shall have not liabilities to Amalco in the event the Earn-Out Payment is withhold in the event of an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice. If Amalco elects to not or otherwise fails to deliver an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice to Acquiror prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, then the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment amount set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Amalco and be final and binding on the Parties hereto. If Amalco delivers an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, the Acquiror and Amalco shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections and agree upon the resulting amount the Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Anniversary Year within 30 days after the delivery of such Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice, and, if the same are so resolved within such period, the Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Anniversary Year with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Acquiror and Amalco, shall be final and binding.

(d)

If Acquiror and Amalco fail to reach an agreement within 30 days after such an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable calculation of the Earn-Out Payment amount as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such submission to the Independent Accountant, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Acquiror and Amalco and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of Amalco EBITDA that is the subject of the applicable Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Amalco and Acquiror in proportion to the amounts by which their respective calculations of the Earn-Out Payment amount differ from the Earn-Out Payment amount as finally determined by the Independent Accountant.

(e)

Within ten (10) Business Days after the final resolution of the EBITDA and the resulting Earn-Out Payment in accordance with this Section 3.9(a), Acquiror shall deliver to Amalco, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Amalco in the Trust Agreement, the applicable Earn-Out Cash Payment for such Anniversary Year, or if determined in the sole discretion of Acquiror the Earn-Out Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(f)

The Parties agree to treat all Earn-Out Payments, if any, made pursuant to this Agreement as additional Consideration and shall be paid to the Acquiree Shareholders based on the number of Acquiree Shares held by each Acquiree Shareholder.

(g)

The Parties acknowledge that if determined by any regulator that any Earn-Out Payment if to be paid in Earn-Out Shares may be subject to the approval of the Acquiree Shareholders.

(h)

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent to Closing, the Management Members shall have discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of Amalco, including, but not limited to, managing the operations and profitability of Amalco, subject to the direction and oversight of the Board of Directors of the Acquiror.

(i)

The Acquiror shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action in bad faith that would have the purpose of avoiding or reducing any of the Earn-Out Payments hereunder, including, but not limited to, providing insufficient funding for the operation of Amalco in accordance with Section 3.9(g) or taking any money out of Amalco to be reinvested into the business to achieve future Earn Outs, without mutual agreement between the Management Members and management of Acquiree.

(j)

In the event that any Management Member’s employment with Amalco or the Acquiror is terminated by Amalco or Acquiror, the Acquiror agrees and acknowledges that all outstanding Earn-Out Payments will continue to be paid out to the Acquiree Shareholders and Management in accordance with this Section 3.9.
