Release of Escrow Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2, the Escrow Agent shall release the Company Documents and Subscriber Documents as follows:
Investment of Escrow Funds The Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Funds in a non-interest bearing money market account. If Escrow Agent has not received a Joint Written Direction at any time that an investment decision must be made, Escrow Agent may retain the Escrow Fund, or such portion thereof, as to which no Joint Written Direction has been received, in a non-interest bearing money market account.
Investment of Escrow Amount Escrow Agent may, at its’ discretion, invest any or all of the Escrow Account balance as permitted by banking or trust company regulations. No interest shall be paid to Issuer or Subscribers on balances in the Escrow Account or in Issuers custodial account.
Terms of Escrow (a) The parties hereby appoint the Administrative Agent as escrow agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment as escrow agent.
Release of Escrow Funds The Escrow Funds shall be paid by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the following:
Investment of Escrow Fund During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent in the investment indicated on Schedule 1 or such other investments as shall be directed in writing by the Issuer and the Depositor and as shall be acceptable to the Escrow Agent. All investment orders involving U.S. Treasury obligations, commercial paper and other direct investments may be executed through broker-dealers selected by the Escrow Agent. Periodic statements will be provided to the Issuer and the Depositor reflecting transactions executed on behalf of the Escrow Fund. The Issuer and the Depositor, upon written request, will receive a statement of transaction details upon completion of any securities transaction in the Escrow Fund without any additional cost. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment in an investment indicated on Schedule 1 or any investment made pursuant to the instructions of the parties hereto or as a result of any liquidation of any investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the parties to give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent may earn compensation in the form of short-term interest (“float”) on items like uncashed distribution checks (from the date issued until the date cashed), funds that the Escrow Agent is directed not to invest, deposits awaiting investment direction or received too late to be invested overnight in previously directed investments.
Indemnity of Escrow Agent The Client hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, attorneys’ fees (even if Escrow Agent represents himself), and expenses, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof.
Release of Escrow Fund (a) On the first Business Day after the date that is six (6) months from the closing of the Merger (the “Termination Date”), the Escrow Agent shall distribute and deliver to each Owner certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the original number of shares placed in such Owner’s account, less that number of shares in such Owner’s account equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares applied in satisfaction of Indemnification Claims made prior to that date and (ii) the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Owner’s account, as provided in the following sentence. If, at such time, there are any Indemnification Claims with respect to which Notices have been received but which have not been resolved pursuant to Section 3 hereof or in respect of which the Escrow Agent has not been notified of, and received a copy of, a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) by a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be (in either case, “Pending Claims”), and which, if resolved or finally determined in favor of Parent, would result in a payment to Parent in excess of the Deductible, the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Pending Claims Reserve that number of shares of Parent Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the dollar amount for which indemnification is sought in such Indemnification Claim in excess of the Deductible to the extent all Established Claims have not exceeded, in the aggregate, the Deductible, allocated pro rata from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner. The Parent Representative and the Holder Representative shall certify to the Escrow Agent the Fair Market Value to be used in calculating the Pending Claims Reserve, and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be retained therefor. Thereafter, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Parent Representative and the Holder Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Parent the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve in respect thereof determined in accordance with paragraph 3(f) above and to deliver to each Owner the remaining shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Pending Claim, all as specified in a Joint Notice. If any Pending Claim is resolved against Parent, the Parent Representative and the Holder Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to pay to each Owner its pro rata portion of the number of shares allocated to such Pending Claim in the Pending Claims Reserve.
