• Indemnification Escrow On the Closing Date, the Company will enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with a mutually agreeable escrow agent, pursuant to which $250,000 of the proceeds of the Offering will be deposited by the Company, in connection with the payments of the Company's indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9. All remaining funds in the escrow account that are not subject to an indemnification claim as of the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date will be returned to the Company in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement.

• Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund (a) If (and for so long as) a Trigger Event shall have occurred and shall not have been cured by a Trigger Event Cure, on each Payment Date during such period, Borrower shall pay to Lender (or Servicer, as directed by Lender) an amount equal to (i) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Lender shall apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall return any excess to Borrower (or to Operating Company, if so directed by Borrower). In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

• 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.

• Disbursements from Escrow Funds to Pay Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent is authorized to and may disburse from time to time, to itself or to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Funds (but only to the extent of Issuer’s rights thereto), the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof). Escrow Agent shall notify Issuer of any disbursement from the Escrow Funds to itself or to any Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and shall furnish to Issuer copies of all related invoices and other statements.

• Release of Escrow Funds The Escrow Funds shall be paid by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the following:

• Escrow Fund In addition to the initial deposits with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums made by Borrower to Lender on the date hereof to be held by Lender in escrow, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each calendar month (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the "Escrow Fund"). Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Escrow Fund and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying the Escrow Fund to the payments of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws (defined in Section 3.11), no earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) PETsMART or an Acceptable Replacement Tenant is not in default under the terms of the PETsMART Lease or an Acceptable Replacement Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods set forth therein, and (iii) PETsMART or an Acceptable Replacement Tenant is paying the Taxes pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4 hereof and Insurance Premiums in accordance with the terms of the last sentence of Section 3.3(b) hereof, directly pursuant to the terms hereof, and such Taxes are current, then Borrower shall not be required to make monthly payments into the Escrow Fund.
