(c)            In the event that Purchaser takes any Action with respect to such UA Claims , any and all proceeds, payments or other amounts received by Purchaser shall be divided as follows among the parties.
 
(i)  In the event that as a result of any Action taken by Purchaser with respect to such UA Claims, Purchaser at any time hereafter receives a lump sum payment from UA resulting from any acts or omissions by UA occurring prior to the Closing Date ("Lump Sum Award"), Purchaser shall pay one-third (1/3) of the Net Lump Sum Award (as defined below) to each of the Series A Preferred Member and the Series B Preferred Members, such sum to be divided among the Series B Preferred Members in proportion to their percentage ownership interests in the Series B class of membership interests in Seller.

(iii)  In the event that as a result of any Action taken by Purchaser with respect to such UA Claims, Purchaser does not receive any Lump Sum Award but rather  Purchaser only enters into one or more license agreements with UA on or before June 30, 2014, Purchaser shall pay one-third (1/3) of the Net Purchaser Royalties (as defined below) to each of the Series A Preferred Member and the Series B Preferred Members, such sum to be divided among the Series B Preferred Members in proportion to their percentage ownership interests in the Series B class of membership interests in Seller.
