Protection of Escrow Fund (i) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Parent and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) Any shares of Parent Common Stock or other equity securities issued or distributed by Parent (including shares issued upon a stock split) ("New Shares") in respect of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund which ---------- have not been released from the Escrow Fund shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof. New Shares issued in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock which have been released from the Escrow Fund shall not be added to the Escrow Fund but shall be distributed to the record holders thereof. Cash dividends on Parent Common Stock shall not be added to the Escrow Fund but shall be distributed to the record holders thereof.
(iii) Each Company Shareholder shall have voting rights with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock contributed to the Escrow Fund by such Company Shareholder (and on any voting securities added to the Escrow Fund in respect of such shares of Parent Common Stock).
Release of Escrow Securities (1) When an emerging issuer becomes an established issuer, the release schedule for its escrow securities changes.
(2) If an emerging issuer becomes an established issuer 18 months or more after its listing date, all escrow securities will be released immediately.
(3) If an emerging issuer becomes an established issuer within 18 months after its listing date, all escrow securities that would have been released to that time, if the Issuer was an established issuer on its listing date, will be released immediately. Remaining escrow securities will be released in equal installments on the day that is 6 months, 12 months and 18 months after the listing date.
Termination of Escrow In the event of the release of all Proceeds and all accrued interest in accordance with Section 4 and Section 5 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all responsibilities in connection with the escrow deposits provided for in this Agreement, except claims which are occasioned by its gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct.
Unclaimed Property and Lost Shareholders The Transfer Agent shall report unclaimed property to each state in compliance with state law and shall comply with Section 17Ad-17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for lost Shareholders. If the Fund is not in compliance with applicable state laws, there will be no charge for the first two years for this service for such Fund, other than a charge for due diligence notices (reflected on Schedule 5.1) provided that after the first two years, the Transfer Agent will charge such Fund its then standard fee plus any out-of-pocket expenses.
Additional escrow securities If you acquire additional escrow securities, those securities will be added to the securities already in escrow, to increase the number of remaining escrow securities. After that, all of the escrow securities will be released in accordance with the applicable release schedule in the tables above.
Release of Escrow Securities to Depositary The Escrow Agent will release from escrow the tendered escrow securities when the Escrow Agent receives a declaration signed by the depositary or, if the direction identifies the depositary as acting on behalf of another person or company in respect of the business combination, by that other person or company, that:
(a) the terms and conditions of the business combination have been met or waived; and
(b) the escrow securities have either been taken up and paid for or are subject to an unconditional obligation to be taken up and paid for under the business combination.
Deposit of Escrow Shares On or before the Effective Date, each of the Initial Stockholders shall deliver to the Escrow Agent certificates representing his respective Escrow Shares, to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Initial Stockholder acknowledges that the certificate representing his Escrow Shares is legended to reflect the deposit of such Escrow Shares under this Agreement.
Rights of Initial Stockholders in Escrow Shares 4.1 VOTING RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Subject to the terms of the Insider Letter described in Section 4.4 hereof and except as herein provided, the Initial Stockholders shall retain all of their rights as stockholders of the Company during the Escrow Period, including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares.
Escrow Shares If any Escrow Shares are deliverable to the Company in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, (i) each Make Good Pledgor covenants and agrees to execute all such instruments of transfer (including stock powers and assignment documents) as are customarily executed to evidence and consummate the transfer of the Escrow Shares from Make Good Pledgor to the Company, to the extent not done so in accordance with Section 2, and (ii) following its receipt of the documents referenced in Section 6(i), the Company and Escrow Agent covenant and agree to cooperate with the Transfer Agent so that the Transfer Agent promptly transfers such Escrow Shares to the Company. Until such time as (if at all) the Escrow Shares are required to be delivered in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, any dividends payable in respect of the Escrow Shares and all voting rights applicable to the Escrow Shares shall be retained by each Make Good Pledgor. Should the Escrow Agent receive dividends or voting materials, such items shall not be held by the Escrow Agent, but shall be passed immediately on to the Make Good Pledgor and shall not be invested or held for any time longer than is needed to effectively re-route such items to the Make Good Pledgor. If the Escrow Agent receives a communication requiring the conversion of the Escrow Shares to cash or the exchange of the Escrow Shares for that of an acquiring company, the Escrow Agent shall solicit and follow the written instructions of each Make Good Pledgor; provided that the cash or exchanged shares are instructed to be redeposited into the Escrow Account. Each Make Good Pledgor shall be responsible for all taxes resulting from any such conversion or exchange.
