Related to Sample of Escrow Agreement II
Release of Escrow Funds The Escrow Funds shall be paid by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the following:
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 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 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.
Release of Escrow Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2, the Escrow Agent shall release the Company Documents and Subscriber Documents as follows:
Termination of Escrow Agreement The Escrow Agent's responsibilities thereunder shall terminate at such time as the Escrow Fund shall have been fully disbursed pursuant to the terms hereof, or upon earlier termination of this escrow arrangement pursuant to written instructions executed by the non-bank Party. Such written notice of earlier termination shall include instruction to the Escrow Agent for the distribution of the Escrow Fund.
Release of Escrow Shares The Escrow Shares shall be released by ------------------------ the Escrow Agent and Parent as soon as practicable, taking into account the notices to be delivered under this Section 3.1, on the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time (the "Release Date"). The amount of Escrow Shares to ------------ be released on the Release Date to the Holders (the "Released Escrow") shall --------------- equal all of the Escrow Shares held by the Escrow Agent at such time, less: (a) ---- any Escrow Shares delivered to or deliverable to Parent in satisfaction of Uncontested Claims or Contested Claims which have been settled by the parties hereto, and (b) the number of the Escrow Shares subject to Notices of Claims delivered by Parent in accordance with Section 2.3(b) which number shall be equal to the Damages requested in such Notice of Claim divided by the Topaz Average Current Price for the five (5) trading day period ending on the Release Date with respect to any then pending Contested Claims. Within twenty (20) of the Escrow Agent's business days ("Business Days") after the Final Notice Date, ------------- Parent and the Indemnification Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice (a "Release Notice") setting forth the number of Escrow Shares -------------- to be released by the Escrow Agent (the "Released Escrow"), including the number --------------- of Escrow Shares to be released to the Indemnification Representative for each Holder and the number of Escrow Shares to be retained as provided in this Section 3.1 (the "Retained Escrow"). Parent 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 Escrow Agent is authorized to act in accordance with any Release Notice, and shall have no duty or obligation to determine whether the Retained Escrow, if any, is sufficient to pay any outstanding Contested Claims and/or Prevailing Party Awards, to the extent applicable. The Released Escrow shall be released to the Indemnification Representative for the Holders in accordance with the percentage interests set out in Exhibit A hereto and as certified in writing to the Escrow Agent. 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 twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the Release Notice, the Escrow Agent shall deliver (by its usual and customary means) to the Indemnification Representative for each Holder evidence of ownership of the number of Escrow Shares in the names of the appropriate Holders as certified in writing to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to take such action until the Escrow Agent has received the Release Notice executed by Parent and the Indemnification Representative or, in the event Parent 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.
Indemnity Escrow Agreement Sellers shall have executed and delivered to Buyer the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.
