The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as are set forth in Section 5.11. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the related Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the related Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest-bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

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.

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.

• 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.
