The Contingent Payment shall rank in priority of payment on a pari passu basis with that of the holders of the Buyer’s common equity The portions of the net proceeds of the sale described in (C), (D), and/or (E) may be paid when such amounts are received. For purposes of this §2(c)(iv), the term “net proceeds” shall mean the proceeds of such sale reduced by the costs of such sale, payment of all debt which is prior to right to the Buyer’s equity and payment of all equity senior in right to the Buyer’s common equity.
