(a) With respect to any Written Direction or any other notice, direction or other instruction required to be delivered by a Party to Escrow Agent under this Agreement, Escrow Agent is authorized to follow and rely upon any and all such instructions given to it from time to time if the Escrow Agent believes, in good faith, that such instruction is genuine and to have been signed by an Authorized Representative of such Party. Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify that the person who sent such instruction is, in fact, a person duly authorized to give instructions on behalf of a Party, other than to verify that the signature of the Authorized Representative on any such instruction appears to be the signature of such person. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting instructions to Escrow Agent, and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting instructions other than the method selected by such Party.

(b) Each Party may, at any time, update Schedule II by signing and submitting to Escrow Agent an update of such Schedule.

(b) Each Party and Escrow Agent hereby agree that the following security procedures will be used to verify the authenticity of a Written Direction delivered by any Party to Escrow Agent under this Agreement:
| (i) | The Written Direction must include the name and signature of the person delivering the disbursement request to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent will check that the name and signature of the person identified on the Written Direction appears to be the same as the name and signature of an Authorized Representative of such Party; |
| (ii) | Escrow Agent will make a telephone call to an Authorized Representative of the Party purporting to deliver the Written Direction (which Authorized Representative may be the same as the Authorized Representative who delivered the Written Direction) at any telephone number for such Authorized Representative as set forth on Schedule II to obtain oral confirmation of delivery of the Written Direction. If the Written Direction is a joint written notice of the Parties, the Escrow Agent shall call back an Authorized Representative of both of those Parties; and | |
| (iii) | If the Written Direction is sent by email to Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent also shall review such email address to verify that it appears to have been sent from an email address for an Authorized Representative of one of the Parties as set forth on Schedule II, as applicable, or from an email address for a person authorized under Schedule II to email a Written Direction to Escrow Agent on behalf of the Authorized Representative). |
(c) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that given its particular circumstances, including the nature of its business, the size, type and frequency of its instructions, transactions and files, internal procedures and systems, the alternative security procedures offered by Escrow Agent and the security procedures in general use by other customers and banks similarly situated, the security procedures set forth in this Section 1.4 are a commercially reasonable method of verifying the authenticity of a payment order in a Written Direction.
(d) Escrow Agent is authorized to execute, and each Party expressly agrees to be bound by any payment order in a Written Direction issued in its name (and associated funds transfer) (i) that is accepted by Escrow Agent in accordance with the security procedures set forth in this Section 1.4, whether or not authorized by such Party and/or (ii) that is authorized by or on behalf of such Party or for which such Party is otherwise bound under the law of agency, whether or not the security procedures set forth in this Section 1.4 were followed, and to debit the Escrow Account for the amount of the payment order. Notwithstanding anything else, Escrow Agent shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and without negligence, gross negligence or misconduct if Escrow Agent is authorized to execute the payment order under this Section 1.4. Any action taken by Escrow Agent pursuant to this paragraph prior to Escrow Agent’s actual receipt and acknowledgement of a notice of revocation, cancellation or amendment of a Written Direction shall not be affected by such notice.
(e) The security procedures set forth in this Section 1.4 are intended to verify the authenticity of payment orders provided to Escrow Agent and are not designed to, and do not, detect errors in the transmission or content of any payment order. Escrow Agent is not responsible for detecting an error in the payment order, regardless of whether any of the Parties believes the error was apparent, and Escrow Agent is not liable for any damages arising from any failure to detect an error.
(f) When instructed to credit or pay a party by both name and a unique numeric or alpha-numeric identifier (e.g. ABA number or account number), Escrow Agent, and any other banks participating in the funds transfer, may rely solely on the unique identifier, even if it identifies a party different than the party named. Each Party agrees to be bound by the rules of any funds transfer network used in connection with any payment order accepted by Escrow Agent hereunder.
(g) Escrow Agent shall not be obliged to make any payment requested under this Escrow Agreement if it is unable to validate the authenticity of the request by the security procedures set forth in this Section 1.4. Escrow Agent’s inability to confirm a payment order may result in a delay or failure to act on that payment order. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall not be required to treat a payment order as having been received until Escrow Agent has authenticated it pursuant to the security procedures in this Section 1.4 and shall not be liable or responsible for any losses arising in relation to such delay or failure to act.
