Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

The Escrow Stock and Escrow Cash shall remain in escrow following the Closing to cover any indemnification claims in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Section 11.7 hereof. The USVI Tax Escrow shall remain in escrow following the Closing to cover any indemnification claim related to USVI Exposure.
(b) The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Escrow Stock shall be released as follows (each date of escrow release, an “Escrow Release Date”) and the value of each share of Parent Common Stock for purposes of this Section 2.6(b) equal to the Issuance Price:
(i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Escrow Stock then remaining in escrow less a number of shares of Parent Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of any outstanding claims will be released to Seller on the nine (9) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Escrow Release Date”);
(ii) thirty-three and one-third percent (33.33%) of the Escrow Stock then remaining in escrow less a number of shares of Parent Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of any outstanding claims will be released to Seller on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date;

Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.9 will thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), solely as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.7.
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.
Holdback Amount Escrow Agent shall hold back in escrow from Seller’s net proceeds at Closing an amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”). The sole purpose for which the Holdback Amount may be applied is as to any amounts which Seller owes to Purchaser for post-Closing claims to the extent allowed and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, the Holdback Amount is intended as a source of payment, but not as a limitation of damages that may be claimed by Purchaser. Except as to any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser which amounts are specifically reflected in a lawsuit commenced against Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for damages based upon the post-Closing claim, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Prior to institution of any such lawsuit, Purchaser shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, specifying the exact amount and nature of any such claim asserted by Purchaser against the Holdback Amount. Any lawsuit commenced against Seller must specifically set forth the exact amount which is claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser, and absent such specific amount being identified, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the entire Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve month (12) month period post-Closing. Any portion of the Holdback Amount which Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.10 after the passage of the twelve (12) month period, shall continue to be held in escrow pending final and unappealable dismissal or judgment in the action or actions timely commenced by Purchaser or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser obtains a final and unappealable judgment in any such action, Escrow Agent is directed to make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount retained in escrow in the amount of the judgment plus any interest, attorney’s fees, and costs to which it is entitled thereon upon presentation to Escrow Agent and Seller of the court order or other evidence of such final and unappealable judgment. Once all such actions are either finally or unappealably dismissed or a final and unappealable judgment is entered therein or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and any amount of damages due to Purchaser is paid, whether from the Holdback Amount or otherwise, Escrow Agent is directed to disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount. The parties shall execute any additional escrow instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing reasonably required by Escrow Agent or either party relating to the Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent’s fees and costs for holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.
Consideration and Payment The purchase price for the sale of the Purchased Assets sold to the Purchaser on the Closing Date shall equal the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets. Such purchase price shall be paid in cash to Santander Consumer in an amount agreed to between Santander Consumer and the Purchaser, and, to the extent not paid in cash by the Purchaser, shall be paid by a capital contribution by Santander Consumer of an undivided interest in such Purchased Assets that increases its equity interest in the Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess of the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets over the amount of cash paid by the Purchaser to Santander Consumer.
Escrow Fund Prior to any amount being distributed to any Company Holder pursuant to Section 2.6, the Escrow Fund will be withheld from the Merger Consideration and deposited with the Escrow Agent. The Indemnity Portion of the Escrow Fund will be held for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of the Company set forth in this Agreement. The Adjustment Portion of the Escrow Fund will be held for the purpose of securing any obligation of the Company to make a payment to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.13(d). The Escrow Fund will be withheld from the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration otherwise payable to each Company Holder pursuant to Section 2.6, with each Company Holder’s portion of the Escrow Fund equal to its Company Holder Percentage Interest. The Shareholders’ Agent Expense Portion of the Escrow Fund will be held for the purpose of funding any expenses of the Shareholders’ Agent arising in connection with the administration of the Shareholders’ Agent’s duties in this Agreement after the Effective Time. The Escrow Agreement will provide for (i) the release of the Adjustment Portion of the Escrow Fund remaining in the escrow account (in accordance with Company Holder Percentage Interests for any amounts payable to the Company Holders) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.13(c) (but, for the avoidance of doubt, after any required payment to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.13(d) has been made), (ii) the release, subject to a reserve in the aggregate amount of all pending claims, of the Indemnity Portion of the Escrow Fund remaining in the escrow account (in accordance with Company Holder Percentage Interests for any amounts payable to the Company Holders) within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (A) the date Purchaser completes an audit of the Company for 2014 (such date to be confirmed in writing by Purchaser to the Shareholders’ Agent), or (B) April 1, 2015; and (iii) the release of the Shareholders’ Agent Expense Portion of the Escrow Fund upon receipt of written notice from the Shareholders’ Agent. Following payment of the last balance remaining in the Indemnity Portion of the Escrow Fund that was reserved for a claim made by any Indemnified Persons under Section 9 of this Agreement (or the definitive withdrawal or resolution of such claim), and after payment of any Shareholders’ Agent expenses from the Shareholders’ Agent Expense Portion of the Escrow Fund, Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Agent will direct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Company Holders (or with respect to the Company Holders that were holders of Vested Company Options that were cancelled under Section 2.6(c)(i), to the Surviving Corporation for payment to the Company Holders who are entitled to such Company Holders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll) in accordance with their Company Holder Percentage Interests an aggregate amount that is equal to any remaining balance of the Escrow Fund.
Withhold Payment In any case where a question of non- performance by Contractor arises, payment may be withheld in whole or in part at the discretion of the Commissioner. Should the amount withheld be finally paid, a cash discount originally offered may be taken as if no delay in payment had occurred.
Billing and Payment; Disputed Amounts 9.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall submit to the other Party on a monthly basis in an itemized form, statement(s) of charges incurred by the other Party under this Agreement.
9.2 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, payment of amounts billed for Services provided under this Agreement, whether billed on a monthly basis or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be due, in immediately available U.S. funds, on the later of the following dates (the “Due Date”): (a) the due date specified on the billing Party’s statement; or (b) twenty (20) days after the date the statement is received by the billed Party. Payments shall be transmitted by electronic funds transfer.
9.3 If any portion of an amount billed by a Party under this Agreement is subject to a good faith dispute between the Parties, the billed Party shall give notice to the billing Party of the amounts it disputes (“Disputed Amounts”) and include in such notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each item. A Party may also dispute prospectively with a single notice a class of charges that it disputes. Notice of a dispute may be given by a Party at any time, either before or after an amount is paid, and a Party’s payment of an amount shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s right to subsequently dispute its obligation to pay such amount or to seek a refund of any amount paid. The billed Party shall pay by the Due Date all undisputed amounts. Billing disputes shall be subject to the terms of Section 14, Dispute Resolution.
9.4 Charges due to the billing Party that are not paid by the Due Date, shall be subject to a late payment charge. The late payment charge shall be in an amount specified by the billing Party which shall not exceed a rate of one-and- one-half percent (1.5%) of the overdue amount (including any unpaid previously billed late payment charges) per month.
9.5 Although it is the intent of both Parties to submit timely statements of charges, failure by either Party to present statements to the other Party in a timely manner shall not constitute a breach or default, or a waiver of the right to payment of the incurred charges, by the billing Party under this Agreement, and, except for assertion of a provision of Applicable Law that limits the period in which a suit or other proceeding can be brought before a court or other governmental entity of appropriate jurisdiction to collect amounts due, the billed Party shall not be entitled to dispute the billing Party’s statement(s) based on the billing Party’s failure to submit them in a timely fashion.
