Such withdrawn amounts shall be deposited with any other Approved Bank or any Approved Bank specified by the Parties in the notice.
Execution Version

3. Disposition and Termination.
(a) Adjustment Escrow Assets.
(i) As soon as practicable (but no later than three Business Days) after the final determination of the Post-Closing Net Adjustment Amount pursuant to Sections 1.6 and 1.7 of Underlying Agreement and the allocation of certain costs and expenses pursuant to Section 1.7(f) of the Underlying Agreement, the Parties shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent with respect to (i) the release of the Adjustment Escrow Assets in accordance with the Underlying Agreement and (ii) the release of any Indemnity Escrow Assets (if any) in accordance with the Underlying Agreement.
(ii) Such joint written instructions will instruct the Escrow Agent as to the respective portion of the Adjustment Escrow Assets to be released (A) to the Sellers' Representative and (B) to Greenbrook, as well as any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Assets (if any) to be released to Greenbrook in accordance with the Underlying Agreement.
(iii) The Escrow Agent shall make payment pursuant to this Section 3(a) only in accordance with: (i) any joint written instructions executed by the Parties; or (ii) a written notification from any Party of a final and non-appealable order, decision, judgment or decree of a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction authorizing the release of any amount of the Escrow Assets (an "Adjustment Order") including a copy of such Adjustment Order. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such joint written instructions or Adjustment Order.
(b) Indemnity Escrow Assets.
(i) As soon as practicable (but no later than three Business Days) following the eighteen (18)-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the "Escrow Termination Date"), the Escrow Agent shall release the remaining portion of the Escrow Assets less any Reserved Portion (as defined herein) as provided in a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent from the Parties. Any Reserved Portion shall continue to be held in escrow under this Agreement by the Escrow Agent until the claims contained in any Claim Notice(s) described in Section 3(b)(ii) below become resolved, even if such claims have not been finally resolved prior to the Escrow Termination Date. After the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall only release all or any amount of the Reserved Portion to Purchaser or the Sellers' Representative, as the case may be, from the Escrow Assets pursuant to a written instruction delivered in accordance with Section 3(b)(iv) hereof and any of the Reserved Portion not so released shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 3(b)(i).
(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if on or before the Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent has received from Purchaser or Greenbrook notice (a "Claim Notice") specifying that a claim for indemnification pursuant to the Underlying Agreement has been made and the dollar amount of the claim, or if such amount is unknown, Greenbrook or Purchaser's good faith reasonable estimate of the dollar amount of such claim, in each case expressed both in dollars and as a number of Greenbrook Shares calculated by dividing such dollar amount by the Closing VWAP (the "Claimed Amount"), then the Escrow Agent shall continue to keep in escrow an amount of Greenbrook Shares equal to the Claimed Amount set forth in such Claim Notice(s) (the "Reserved Portion") until such Claimed Amount is resolved as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall survive the Indemnity Escrow Termination Date. In any Claim Notice, Greenbrook or Purchaser shall, in reasonable detail to the extent possible, cite the nature of the claim, the section(s) of the Underlying Agreement supporting its claim, and facts and circumstances supporting its claim (which obligations may be satisfied by delivering a copy of the applicable claim notice provided under the Underlying Agreement).

The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such joint written instructions or Final Order. The Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in escrow any contested Claimed Amount until release is otherwise authorized pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iv).
(c) Any Escrow Shares released to Greenbrook pursuant to this Section 3 shall be debited against the Escrow Shares of the Sellers' Representative.
(d) Any Escrow Shares released to Greenbrook pursuant to this Section 3 shall be forfeited by the Sellers' Representative for no consideration and shall be promptly returned to Greenbrook or its transfer agent for cancellation.

The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to follow any directions set forth in any joint written instructions unless and until the Escrow Agent is satisfied, in its reasonable discretion, that the persons executing said joint written instructions are authorized to do so.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any amount to be released at any time or under any circumstances exceeds the then current market value of the remaining Escrow Assets, the Escrow Agent shall release the remaining portion of the Escrow Assets and shall have no liability or responsibility to the Parties for any deficiency.
(g) In all cases (whether or not expressly stated in any provision hereunder), the Closing VWAP will be deemed to be the value of each share of the Escrow Shares for all purposes of determining the number of Escrow Shares to be used to satisfy any claims against the Escrow Shares under this Agreement.
(h) Upon delivery of any and all remaining Escrow Assets by the Escrow Agent, this Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 6 and Section 7.
4. Escrow Agent.
(a) The Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly set forth in this Agreement on its part to be performed, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties or obligations of any kind shall be implied nor read into this Agreement against or on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent accepts the duties and responsibilities under this Agreement as agent only, and no trust is intended to be, or is or will be, created hereby and the Escrow Agent shall owe no duties hereunder as trustee. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Underlying Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any person or entity has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement, those of the Underlying Agreement, any schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement, or any other agreement among the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control only in connection with any matter related to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Party or Parties without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party, any beneficiary or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Assets, or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 10 below and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required hereunder and as set forth in Section 10. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Assets nor shall the Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any amounts deposited with it hereunder.
Execution Version
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Party. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reasonable reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any Party hereto which, in its opinion, are ambiguous or conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be given a direction in writing by the Parties which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties agree to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same.
5. Succession.
(a) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent within relevant jurisdiction or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the Parties hereto. Escrow Agent's sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Escrow Assets (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute escrow agent, if any, or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery Escrow Agent's obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereunder. In accordance with Section 7 below, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold any cash in its possession or an amount of shares equal to any dollar amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of the Agreement divided by the closing price per share on the Toronto Stock Exchange for Greenbrook Shares on the immediately preceding trading day.
Execution Version
(b) Any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity to which all or substantially all the escrow business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.
6. Compensation and Reimbursement.
The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services under this Agreement as Escrow Agent and for reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, in the amounts and payable as set forth on Schedule 2. All amounts owing on Schedule 2 shall be paid by Purchaser. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to payment of any amounts to which the Escrow Agent is entitled under the indemnification provisions contained herein as set forth in Section 7. If payment is not received when due, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to draw down on the Escrow Assets in order to effect such payment and may sell, liquidate, convey or otherwise dispose of any investment for such purpose. This Section 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent for any reason.
7. Indemnity.
(a) Subject to Section 7(c) below, Escrow Agent shall be liable for any losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, actions, suits, proceedings, litigations, investigations, costs or expenses (including without limitation, the fees and expenses of outside counsel and experts and their staffs and all expenses of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively "Losses") only to the extent such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that any liability of Escrow Agent will be limited to direct damages sustained by a Party to this Agreement which in the aggregate shall not exceed the value of the Escrow Assets held by the Escrow Agent.
(b) The Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against, and Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for, any and all Losses arising out of or attributable to Escrow Agent's duties under this Agreement or this appointment, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any Losses or enforcing this Agreement, except to the extent of liability described in Section 7(a) above.
(c) Without limiting the Parties' indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7(b) above, neither the Parties nor the Escrow Agent shall be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, occasioned by a breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages.
(d) This Section 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent for any reason.
8. Patriot Act Disclosure/Taxpayer Identification Numbers/Tax Reporting.
(a) Patriot Act Disclosure. Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 ("USA PATRIOT Act") requires the Escrow Agent to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Escrow Agent's identity verification procedures require the Escrow Agent to obtain information which may be used to confirm the Parties identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents ("identifying information"). The Parties agree to provide the Escrow Agent with and consent to the Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Escrow Agent.
Execution Version
(b) Certification and Tax Reporting. The Parties, if applicable, and the Sellers' Representative have provided the Escrow Agent with their respective fully executed Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-8, or W-9 and/or other required documentation. All interest or other income earned under this Agreement shall be allocated to the Sellers' Representative (if applicable), and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow Assets by the Sellers' Representative (if applicable) whether or not said income has been distributed during such year. Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities. The Parties hereby represent and warrant to the Escrow Agent that the underlying transaction giving rise to this Agreement does not constitute an installment sale requiring any tax reporting or withholding of imputed interest or original issue discount to the IRS or other taxing authority.
9. Notices.
(a) All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, except for communications from the Parties setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the full or partial transfer or distribution of the Escrow Assets, including but not limited to transfer instructions (all of which shall be specifically governed by Section 10 below), shall be deemed to be duly given after it has been received and the receiving party has had a reasonable time to act upon such communication if it is sent or served:
