Section 4. Change of Control and Dividends.

4A. Change of Control. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of the Transaction set forth in Section 1A, in the event the Company consummates a Change of Control (as defined in Section 4B) within 12 months following the Closing of the Transaction, and the aggregate price that the MAY Parties would have received (had the Transaction not been consummated) at the closing of such Change of Control (including any deferred consideration, escrowed consideration or other similar holdback) is higher than the aggregate price received by the MAY Parties in connection with the Repurchase, then the DPY Parties shall pay the MAY Parties an amount equal to the difference between (i) what the MAY Parties would have received at the closing of such Change of Control (including any deferred consideration, escrowed consideration or other similar holdback, such deferred consideration, escrowed consideration or other similar holdback payable if and only if and when such amounts would be payable to the other holders of the Company’s common stock) had the Repurchase not been consummated and (ii) the amount the MAY Parties actually received in connection with the Repurchase.

transaction or reorganization) shares of equity securities of the Company that represent more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the Company, or (ii) a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis other than to an entity with respect to which, following such sale or other disposition, at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities (or affiliates of such individuals and entities) who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the equity securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, or (iii) any of the DPY Parties or any of their affiliates completes a merger with the Company or tender offer for more than 50% of the shares of the Company; provided that, in the case of clause (i) above, such transaction shall only constitute a Change of Control if it results in the DPY Parties ceasing to have the power (whether by ownership of voting securities, contractual right, or otherwise) collectively to elect a majority of the Company’s board of directors.

4C. Dividend Clawback. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of the Transaction set forth in Section 1A, in the event the Company pays a Special Dividend within 12 months following the Closing of the Transaction, then the DPY Parties shall pay the MAY Parties an amount equal to the dividend that the MAY Parties would have received if the Transaction had not been consummated.

dispute (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a potential or actual named party or witness) (collectively, a “Claim”), which are related to or arise out of any allegation that this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby resulted from or arise out of any violation of corporate law or duty under the laws of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that the Company shall not be responsible for any Losses or Expenses that are finally and judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of any Indemnified Person.

In no event shall the Company be obligated to reimburse the Indemnified Persons for the cost of more than one separate legal firm of attorneys.
