The Indemnity Escrowed Funds will be released to Buyer or MEDCO when and as provided in the Escrow Agreement. All costs and expenses, and any indemnities in favor, of the Escrow Agent shall be paid one-half by Buyer, on the one hand, and one-half by MEDCO, on the other hand. If one party pays more than its allocable share of such payments to the Escrow Agent, the other party will promptly reimburse the paying party for the amount of the excess payment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, any unclaimed balance of the Indemnity Escrowed Funds remaining in the possession of the Escrow Agent shall be released to MEDCO.
