Escrow Amount At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller shall deposit Three Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Nine Dollars ($347,299) (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated account as security for Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 15 hereof. All interest accruing on the Escrow Amount shall be for the benefit of Seller. In the event Buyer makes a written claim or demand for indemnification under Section 15 hereof (an “Indemnification Claim”), and Seller does not dispute such Indemnification Claim, or is determined to be liable for and in respect of such Indemnification Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Escrow Agent promptly thereafter shall pay such Indemnification Claim in full to Buyer, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement. On the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.06 hereof), fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Amount then remaining in escrow under the Escrow Agreement and not then subject to an outstanding Indemnification Claim shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Seller. The Escrow Agreement shall expire upon the termination of the Survival Period (as defined in Section 15.01 hereof), and immediately thereafter the Escrow Agent shall pay the portion, if any, of the then remaining Escrow Amount not in dispute to Seller; provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, Buyer shall have made an Indemnification Claim or commenced litigation or any other proceeding on account of any such claim, the term of the Escrow Agreement shall be extended, and the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in escrow the portion of the then Escrow Amount in dispute, in each case until the final resolution of such Indemnification Claim or litigation or proceeding relating thereto, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement.
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.
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.

Release of Escrowed Funds As of the date on which a reserve is released or contingent liability is eliminated (in the case of a Reserve Notice), and provided that no Change Notice has previously been issued and is still outstanding in relation to the same Tax position that was the subject of the Reserve Notice, the relevant escrowed funds (along with any net interest earned on such funds, and less the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Holdings or RMCO in administering the escrow) shall be distributed to RIHI.

If a Determination is received (in the case of a Change Notice), and if such Determination results in an adjustment in any Tax Benefit Payments under this Agreement, and provided that no Reserve Notice has previously been issued and is still outstanding in relation to the same Tax position that was the subject of the Change Notice, then the relevant escrowed funds (along with any net interest earned on such funds) shall be distributed as follows: (i) first, to Holdings or RMCO in an amount equal to the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Holdings or RMCO in administering the escrow and in contesting the Determination; and (ii) second, to the relevant Parties (which, for the avoidance of doubt and depending on the nature of the adjustments, may include Holdings, RMCO, or RIHI, or some combination thereof) in accordance with the relevant Amended Schedule prepared pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
Holdback In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, each Shareholder agrees in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities (whether or not such Shareholder is participating in such registration) upon the request of the Company and the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration) any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A, or make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities, any other equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, during the Holdback Period, provided that nothing herein will prevent any Shareholder that is a partnership or corporation from making a distribution of Registrable Securities to the partners or shareholders thereof or a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees agree to be so bound. With respect to such underwritten offering of Registrable Securities covered by a registration pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2, the Company further agrees not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or distribution, or to file any Registration Statement (other than such registration or a Special Registration) covering any, of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the Holdback Period with respect to such underwritten offering, if required by the managing underwriter, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall not apply during any twelve-month period for more than an aggregate of ninety days.
Escrow Funds To provide for the timely payment of any post-closing claims by Buyer against Seller hereunder, at Closing, Seller shall deposit an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Escrow Funds”) which shall be withheld from the Purchase Price payable to Seller and shall be deposited for a period of one (1) year in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer and Seller (the “Post-Closing Agreement”), which escrow and Post-Closing Agreement shall be established and entered into at Closing and shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligations under this Contract. All earnings accrue to Seller and Seller may direct investment thereof. If no claims have been asserted by Buyer against Seller, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such 1-year period, the Escrow Funds deposited by Seller shall be released to Seller.
Additional Escrow Amounts On the date of any Purchase Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Deposit Agreement.
