Release of Escrow Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2, the Escrow Agent shall release the Company Documents and Subscriber Documents as follows:
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 interest earned on such funds, and less (1) the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Corporation or the LLC in administering the escrow, and (2) any taxes imposed on the Corporation or the LLC with respect to any income earned on the investment of such funds) shall be distributed to the relevant Members. The portion of the relevant escrowed funds held back pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding sentences shall be distributed to the Corporation or the LLC, as applicable. If a Determination is received (in the case of a Change Notice), and if such Determination results in no 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 interest earned on such funds, and less (1) the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Corporation or the LLC in administering the escrow, and (2) any taxes imposed on the Corporation or the LLC with respect to any income earned on the investment of such funds) shall be distributed to the relevant Members. 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 interest earned on such funds) shall be distributed as follows: (i) first, to the Corporation or the LLC in an amount equal to (1) the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Corporation or the LLC in administering the escrow and in contesting the Determination and (2) any taxes imposed on the Corporation or the LLC with respect to any income earned on the investment of such funds; and (ii) second, to the relevant Parties (which, for the avoidance of doubt and depending on the nature of the adjustments, may include the Corporation or the relevant Members, or some combination thereof) in accordance with the relevant Amended Schedule prepared pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
Release of Escrow Funds The Escrow Funds shall be paid by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the following:
Release of Escrow Shares The Escrow Shares shall be ------------------------ released by the Custodian and Cambridge as soon as practicable, taking into account the notices to be delivered under this Section 3.1, after the first anniversary of the date of this Escrow Agreement (the "Release Date"), less: (a) ------------ ---- any Escrow Shares delivered to or deliverable to Cambridge in satisfaction of Uncontested Claims or Contested Claims which have been settled by the parties hereto, and (b) any of the Escrow Shares subject to delivery to Cambridge in accordance with Section 2.3(b) with respect to any then pending Contested Claims. Within ten (10) of the Custodian's business days ("Business Days") ------------- after the Release Date, Cambridge and the Indemnification Representative shall deliver to the Custodian a written notice (a "Release Notice") setting forth the -------------- number of Escrow Shares to be released by the Custodian and Cambridge (the "Released Escrow") including the number of Escrow Shares to be released to each ---------------- Holder and the number of Escrow Shares to be retained as provided in this Section 3.1 (the "Retained Escrow"). Cambridge and the Indemnification --------------- Representative shall make a good faith effort to agree on a reasonable portion of the Escrow Shares to retain for pending Contested Claims and Prevailing Party Awards and related expenses. Until such agreement is reached, or a determination is made in accordance with Section 2.3(c), the remaining Escrow Shares shall be the Retained Escrow. The Released Escrow shall be released to the Holders in proportion to their respective interests in the Initial Escrow Shares. In lieu of releasing any fractional Escrow Shares, any fraction of a released Escrow Share that would otherwise be released shall be rounded to the nearest whole Escrow Share. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Release Notice, Cambridge shall instruct the Custodian to deliver (by registered mail or overnight courier service) to each Holder evidence of ownership of the number of Escrow Shares in the names of the appropriate Holders. The Custodian shall not be required to take such action until the Custodian has received the Release Notice executed by Cambridge and the Indemnification Representative or, in the event Cambridge and the Indemnification Representative fail to execute and deliver a jointly approved Release Notice, a final award or decision which specifies the distribution of the Escrow Shares.
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.
