EBITDA” – net income plus taxes plus interest expense minus interest income, plus depreciation and amortization, and minus capital expenditures, as calculated using the audited financial statements of RP prepared by the Acquired Companies’ independent auditors (“AFS”). Any amount of overhead charged to an Acquired Company other than charges for direct expenses as approved by such Acquired Company or for an arm’s length allocation of shared expenses by Buyer as approved by such Acquired Company will be added to EBITDA for the purposes of calculating the bonus payments.

 

7.     The Bonus Payments for each year from 2018-2022 shall be calculated as follows:

if EBITDA is greater than $2,000,000, then Seller will be paid an additional $4,000 within 60 days of Buyer’s delivery of the AFS for a total of $100,000 for the year, in each such year.

 

c.

if in any year from 2018-2021 EBITDA is less than $1,500,000, then the EBITDA in such year will be subtracted from $1,500,000 (the “Shortfall”), and the Shortfall will be added to the $1,500,000 threshold and the threshold for calculating any such Bonus Payment shall be thereby increased (the “Bonus Recoup”) for the subsequent year only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

d.

if a Bonus Recoup is exceeded in the subsequent year, then Seller will be paid $4,000 that was unpaid from the prior year.

 

e.

if in any year from 2018-2021 EBITDA is less than $2,000,000, then the EBITDA in such year will be subtracted from $2,000,000 (the “High Shortfall”), and the High Shortfall will be added to the $2,000,000 threshold and the threshold for calculating any such Bonus Payment shall be thereby increased (the “High Bonus Recoup”) for the subsequent year only.

 

f.

if the High Bonus Recoup is exceeded in the subsequent year, then Seller will be paid $4,000 that was unpaid from the prior year.

 

g.

any Bonus Recoup or High Bonus Recoup received in a given year will not impact the Bonus Payments paid to Seller if EBITDA in such year is greater than $1,500,000 or $2,000,000.

 

 

8.

For the calendar years 2018 – 2020 inclusive, Seller shall be paid an independent consulting fee (each an “ICF”) equal to 50% of the EBITDA of the Acquired Companies that is over BAEO in such year.

b.

There will be no carryover amounts in the year 2020.

 

c.

if an ICF Recoup is exceeded in the subsequent year, then Seller will be paid the ICF that was unpaid from the prior year.

 

d.

any ICF Recoup received in a given year will not impact the ICF paid to Seller if EBITDA in such year is greater than the BAEO.
