In addition, and subject to the terms and conditions of the APA, the Seller may receive an additional $0.91 million retention earn-out payable in cash based on criteria tied to certain employee retention by the Company. Additionally, except as may be reduced to satisfy indemnification claims, the Seller may receive a value earn-out of up to approximately $1.3 million in cash payable on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, based on the performance of the Business from the Closing Date through such earnout date. Seller may earn up to an additional $0.65 million in cash upon exceeding certain cost targets, based on the future performance of the Business over the 12 months following completion of the APA Transaction.
