If the Forward Purchase Price (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement dated as of May 18, 2018 between FPAC and Party A) is less than the Escrow Deposit, then Party A and Party B shall, no later than the Closing Date, deliver a direction letter (signed by each of them) to Escrow Agent to disburse the amount equal to the excess of the Escrow Deposit over the Forward Purchase Price to Party A on or promptly after the Closing Date. If the Merger Agreement has been terminated (as may be confirmed to Escrow Agent by Party A or Party B), then the Escrow Deposit will be immediately (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) returned to Party A. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Party A shall have no right to object to any Direction Letter and any objection or other instruction which attempts to prevent or delay the release of any such funds pursuant to any Direction Letter shall be ignored by the Escrow Agent without any liability. Escrow Agent may rely upon the validity, accuracy, and content of the statements contained in any Direction Letter or confirmation delivered pursuant to this Section 3. Party B shall simultaneously provide a copy of any Direction Letter to Party A. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively presume that Party A contemporaneously received each Direction Letter received by Escrow Agent. (ii) Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Deposit, or any portion thereof, to Party A upon the joint written instruction of both Party A and Party B in substantially the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto (a “Joint Instruction”).

Each Designation of Authorized Representatives shall be signed by a Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or other duly authorized person of the named Party. No instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Deposit shall be deemed delivered and effective unless Escrow Agent actually shall have received it by facsimile or as a PDF attached to an email only at the fax number or email address set forth in Section 8 and in the case of a facsimile, as evidenced by a confirmed transmittal to the Party’s or Parties’ transmitting fax number. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Deposit if delivered to any other fax number or email address, including but not limited to a valid email address of any employee of Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent (i) shall have no obligation to take any action in connection with this Agreement on a non-Business Day and any action Escrow Agent may otherwise be required to perform on a non-Business Day may be performed by Escrow Agent on the following Business Day and (ii) may not transfer or distribute the Escrow Deposit until Escrow Agent has completed its security procedures.

No funds will be disbursed until such confirmation occurs. Each Party agrees that after such confirmation, Escrow Agent may continue to rely solely upon such Additional Standing Instructions and all identifying information set forth therein for such beneficiary without an additional telephone call-back or email confirmation. Further, it is understood and agreed that if multiple disbursements are provided for under this Agreement pursuant to any Standing Instructions, only the date, amount and/or description of payments may change without requiring a telephone call-back or email confirmation. (d) The persons designated as Authorized Representatives and telephone numbers for same may be changed only in a writing executed by an Authorized Representative or other duly authorized person of the applicable Party setting forth such changes and actually received by Escrow Agent via facsimile or as a PDF attached to an email. Escrow Agent will confirm any such change in Authorized Representatives by a telephone call-back or email confirmation to an Authorized Representative and Escrow Agent may rely and act upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be that Authorized Representative. (e) Escrow Agent, any intermediary bank and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely upon the identifying number of the beneficiary’s bank or any intermediary bank included in a funds transfer instruction provided by a Party or the Parties and, if applicable, confirmed in accordance with this Agreement. Further, the beneficiary’s bank in the funds transfer instructions may make payment on the basis of the account number provided in such Party’s or the Parties’ instruction and, if applicable, confirmed in accordance with this Agreement even though it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary.
