Establishment of Escrow Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer will deposit (and the Shareholders consent to the deposit of) (i) the cash portion of the Escrow Deposit with Escrow Agent, and Escrow Agent will deposit such funds in an interest bearing deposit account, to be held in trust by Escrow Agent for the benefit of Buyer and the Shareholders (the “Escrow Account”), and (ii) stock certificates (accompanied by ten (10) sets of appropriate stock powers executed by the Shareholders in blank with signature guaranteed by a national banking institution or New York Stock Exchange member firm) representing an aggregate of 333,333 shares of Buyer Common Stock registered in the name of the Shareholders (the “Escrowed Shares”) in such individual amounts as set forth on Attachment 1 hereto. Upon its receipt of the Escrow Deposit, Escrow Agent shall provide to Buyer and the Shareholders a written receipt therefor. Unless and until the Escrowed Shares are delivered to Buyer as its absolute property pursuant to this Agreement, the Shareholders shall be entitled to vote the Escrowed Shares and to all dividends thereon, which shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent, with all cash dividends being held as part of the Escrow Account and all stock dividends being held as part of the Escrowed Shares. Any common stock or other securities distributed with respect to the Escrowed Shares as a result of a dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent and held as part of the Escrowed Shares. The cash held in the Escrow Account, including any interest or earnings received in respect thereof, and the Escrowed Shares, less amounts of cash and Escrowed Shares distributed from time to time in accordance with Section 5 hereof, shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to each Shareholder all Proxy Statements, form of proxies or other instruments which it receives in order to give effect to the foregoing voting rights. Escrow Agent agrees to administer the disposition of the Escrow Fund strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At the Buyer’s option, the Buyer may deposit (and the Shareholders consent to the deposit of) the Earnout Payment with the Escrow Agent (and Escrow Agent will further deposit the cash portion of such deposit in the Escrow Account and the stock portion of such deposit as part of the Escrowed Shares) to be held in trust by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of Buyer and the Shareholders, at any time (1) it maintains an obligation under the Merger Agreement to pay such Earnout Payment to the Shareholders, (2) the Buyer has previously made an Escrow Claim (as defined in Section 5(a)) prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 7.3(a) of the Merger Agreement) and (3) the Claimed Amount (as hereinafter defined) of such claims is greater than the amount or value of the remaining Escrow Fund. To the extent the Claimed Amount equals or exceeds the amount of the Earnout Payment, the Buyer shall be permitted to deposit the entire Earnout Payment with the Escrow Agent. If, however, the Claimed Amount is less than the Earnout Payment, the Buyer shall be permitted to deposit the amount of the Earnout Payment equal to the Claimed Amount with the Escrow Agent and the difference shall be paid directly by the Buyer to the Shareholders as provided in the Merger Agreement. Buyer agrees to deliver an Escrow Claim (as hereinafter defined) to the Shareholders and Escrow Agent at the same time it delivers the Earnout Payment (or any portion thereof) to the Escrow Agent hereunder, to the extent that an Escrow Claim has not previously been submitted in connection therewith. Each such Escrow Claim shall contain all of the same information specified in Section 5(a) below. Upon its receipt of the Earnout Payment (or any portion thereof), Escrow Agent shall provide to Buyer and the Shareholders a written receipt therefor. Once deposited by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account and/or the Escrowed Shares, as the case may be, the Earnout Payment (or any portion thereof) shall be, and shall be treated as part of, the Escrow Fund for all purposes hereunder and this Agreement shall apply in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Earnout Payment were part of the original Escrow Deposit.
Establishment of Escrow Account Prior to the Issuer initiating the Offering, and prior to the receipt of the first Subscriber funds, Escrow Agent shall establish an account for the Issuer (the “Escrow Account”). All parties agree to maintain the Escrow Account and Escrow Amount (as defined below) in a manner that is compliant with applicable banking and securities regulations. Escrow Agent shall be the sole administrator of the Escrow Account.
Establishment On and after the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee will maintain the Bank Accounts established by the Servicer under Section 4.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Establishment of Service 6.1 After receiving certification as a local exchange company from the appropriate regulatory agency, <<customer_name>> will provide the appropriate BellSouth service center the necessary documentation to enable BellSouth to establish a master account for <<customer_name>>’s resold services. Such documentation shall include the Application for Master Account, proof of authority to provide telecommunications services, an Operating Company Number ("OCN") assigned by the National Exchange Carriers Association ("NECA") and a tax exemption certificate, if applicable. When necessary deposit requirements are met, as described in Section 6.6 below, BellSouth will begin taking orders for the resale of service.
6.2 Service orders will be in a standard format designated by BellSouth.
6.3 <<customer_name>> shall provide to BellSouth a blanket letter of authorization ("LOA") certifying that <<customer_name>> will have End User authorization prior to viewing the End User's customer service record or switching the End User's service. BellSouth will not require End User confirmation prior to establishing service for <<customer_name>>’s End User customer. <<customer_name>> must, however, be able to demonstrate End User authorization upon request.
6.4 BellSouth will accept a request directly from the End User for conversion of the End User's service from <<customer_name>> to BellSouth or will accept a request from another CLEC for conversion of the End User's service from <<customer_name>> to such other CLEC. Upon completion of the conversion BellSouth will notify <<customer_name>> that such conversion has been completed.
6.5 If BellSouth is informed that an unauthorized change in local service to <<customer_name>> has occurred, BellSouth will reestablish service with the appropriate local service provider and will assess <<customer_name>> as the CLEC initiating the alleged unauthorized change, the unauthorized change charge described in FCC Tariff No. 1, Section 13 or applicable state tariff. Appropriate nonrecurring charges, as set forth in Section A4 of the General Subscriber Service Tariff, will also be assessed to <<customer_name>>. In accordance with FCC Slamming Liability Rules, the relevant governmental agency will determine if an unauthorized change has occurred. Resolution of all relevant issues shall be handled directly with the authorized CLEC and <<customer_name>>.
6.6 BellSouth reserves the right to secure the account with a suitable form of security deposit, unless satisfactory credit has already been established.
6.6.1 Such security deposit shall take the form of cash for cash equivalent, an irrevocable Letter of Credit or other forms of security acceptable to BellSouth. Any such security deposit may be held during the continuance of the service as security for the payment of any and all amounts accruing for the service.
6.6.2 If a security deposit is required, such security deposit shall be made prior to the inauguration of service.
6.6.3 Such security deposit shall be two months' estimated billing.
6.6.4 The fact that a security deposit has been made in no way relieves <<customer_name>> from complying with BellSouth's regulations as to advance payments and the prompt payment of bills on presentation nor does it constitute a waiver or modification of the regular practices of BellSouth providing for the discontinuance of service for non-payment of any sums due BellSouth.
6.6.5 BellSouth reserves the right to increase the security deposit requirements when, in its reasonable judgment, changes in <<customer_name>>'s financial status so warrant and/or gross monthly billing has increased beyond the level initially used to determine the security deposit.
6.6.6 In the event service to <<customer_name>> is terminated due to <<customer_name>>'s default on its account, any security deposits held will be applied to <<customer_name>>'s account.
6.6.7 Interest on a cash or cash equivalent security deposit shall accrue and be paid in accordance with the terms in the appropriate BellSouth tariff.
Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes (i) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(ii) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. As used in this Section 16(e):
CLASSIFICATIONS AND WAGES The Employer will pay employees pursuant to the wage schedule attached hereto as Schedule “A” and forming part of this Collective Agreement.
Construction of the Project Highway (i) The Contractor shall construct the Project Highway as specified in Schedule- B and Schedule-C, and in conformity with the Specifications and Standards set forth in Schedule-D. The Contractor shall be responsible for the correct positioning of all parts of the Works, and shall rectify any error in the positions, levels, dimensions or alignment of the Works. The [650th (six hundred and fiftieth) day] from the Appointed Date shall be the scheduled completion date (the “Scheduled Completion Date”) and the Contractor agrees and undertakes that the construction shall be completed on or before the Scheduled Completion Date, including any extension thereof.
(ii) The Contractor shall construct the Project Highway in accordance with the Project Completion Schedule set forth in Schedule-J. In the event that the Contractor fails to achieve any Project Milestone or the Scheduled Completion Date within a period of 30 (thirty) days from the date set forth in Schedule-J, unless such failure has occurred due to Force Majeure or for reasons solely attributable to the Authority, it shall pay Damages to the Authority of a sum calculated at the rate of 0.05% (zero point zero five percent) of the Contract Price for delay of each day reckoned from the date specified in Schedule –J and until such Project Milestone is achieved or the Project Highway is completed; provided that if the period for any or all Project Milestones or the Scheduled Completion Date is extended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the dates set forth in Schedule-J shall be deemed to be modified accordingly and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply as if Schedule-J has been amended as above; provided further that in the event the Project Highway is completed within or before the Scheduled Completion Date including any Time Extension, applicable for that work or section, the Damages paid under this Clause 10.3 (ii) shall be refunded by the Authority to the Contractor, but without any interest thereon. The Parties agree that for determining achievement or delays in completion of the Project Milestones or the Project on the due date, the works affected due to delay in providing the site for which time extension has been granted beyond the Scheduled Completion Date will be excluded. For example on the due date to achieve the Project Milestone-I (i.e., Stage Payments of 10% (ten percent) of Contract Price on 180th (one hundred and eighty) day from the Appointed Date), if 5% (five percent) of the project length corresponding to the Project Milestone-I is not handed over or lately handed over resulting in the extension of completion of this 5% (five percent) length beyond Scheduled Completion Date, Stage Payment of 10% X 0.95 = 9.5% only is to be achieved by 180th (one hundred and eighty) day. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that recovery of Damages under this Clause 10.3 (ii) shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Authority under this Agreement including the right of Termination thereof. The Parties further agree that Time Extension hereunder shall only be reckoned for and in respect of the affected Works as specified in Clause 10.5 (ii).
(iii) The Authority shall notify the Contractor of its decision to impose Damages in pursuance with the provisions of this Clause 10.3. Provided that no deduction on account of Damages shall be effected by the Authority without notifying the Contractor of its decision to impose the Damages, and taking into consideration the representation, if any, made by the Contractor within 20 (twenty) days of such notice. The Parties expressly agree that the total amount of Damages under Clause 10.3 (ii) shall not exceed 10% (ten percent) of the Contract Price. If the damages exceed 10% (ten percent) of the Contract Price, the Contractor shall be deemed to be in default of this agreement having no cure and the Authority shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by issuing a Termination Notice in accordance with the provisions of Clause 23.1 (ii).
(iv) In the event that the Contractor fails to achieve the Project Completion within a period of 90 (ninety) days from the Schedule Completion Date set forth in Schedule-J, unless such failure has occurred due to Force Majeure or for reasons solely attributable to the Authority, the contractor shall be deemed to be ineligible for bidding any future projects of the Authority, both as the sole party or as one of the parties of Joint Venture/ Consortium during the period from Scheduled Completion Date to issuance of Completion Certificate. This restriction is applicable if the contract value of the delayed project is not less than Rs. 300 Crore.
