herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Parent,
Company, the Representatives and the Escrow Agent (collectively, the
“Parties” and
sometimes, individually, a “Party”),
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
I. |
Appointment.
Parent,
Company and the Representatives hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as escrow
agent, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment, on the terms
and conditions set forth herein. Representatives shall act hereunder as
the attorney-in-fact and agent of Stockholders, which Representatives
shall have full authority to act, by majority vote amongst the
Representatives, for and on behalf of Stockholders with respect to the
Escrow Assets for all purposes of this Agreement. Representatives’
authority to act hereunder shall not be affected by the death, incapacity,
illness, dissolution or other inability to act of any of the
Stockholders. |
II.
Establishment of Escrow.
A. |
Concurrently
herewith, Parent is depositing with the Escrow Agent (i) cash representing
the total amount of the Escrow Cash and (ii) stock certificates
representing the Escrow Stock, together with stock powers executed in
blank related to the Escrow Stock. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges
receipt of cash in an amount of $1,111,430.10 constituting the Escrow
Cash, and stock certificates representing 90,000 Parent Shares
constituting the Escrow
Stock. |
C. |
The
Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest the Escrow Cash as directed in
Section IV. Any earnings on the amount of the Escrow Cash shall be
credited to and become part of the Escrow Cash and may be reinvested as
provided in Section IV and any loss on the investment of the Escrow Cash
shall be charged against the Escrow Cash. |
D. |
The
Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Assets deposited with the Escrow Agent
under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement,
and shall disburse the Escrow Assets only when and to the extent required
by Section 3 hereof. |
2
III. Distributions

A.
|
If
at any time and from time to time Parent advises the Escrow Agent in
writing (with a copy to Representatives in the manner set forth in Section
X hereof) (such notice, a “Claim”)
(a) that Parent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 of
the Merger Agreement, identifying the basis for such claim and the
provision of the Merger Agreement upon which the claim is based, and (b)
of the amount of indemnification due (the “Indemnity
Amount”),
then the Escrow Agent shall, within 15 Banking Days (as defined below)
after the date of the written notice from Parent, deliver Escrow Assets in
an amount equal to the Indemnity Amount to Parent, unless the Escrow Agent
shall have received, within 10 Banking Days after the date of the written
notice from Parent, a written objection from the Representatives to such
delivery setting forth the amount in dispute, in which case the Escrow
Agent shall deliver any undisputed amount to Parent, and shall continue to
hold the disputed amount until either (A) receipt of a certificate signed
by Parent and the Representatives directing the Escrow Agent to deliver
Escrow Assets in an amount equal to the Indemnity Amount set forth in such
certificate to Parent or (B) receipt of a formal order of a court of
competent jurisdiction directing the Escrow Agent to deliver Escrow Assets
in an amount equal to the Indemnity Amount specified in such order to
Parent. Escrow Agent has the right to institute upon a Xxxx of
Interpleader, should a controversy arise. The term “Banking
Days”
shall mean days other than Saturdays, Sundays or days on which banks in
the State of Michigan may be
closed. |
B.
|
The
release of Escrow Assets by the Escrow Agent to Parent of the Indemnity
Amount in respect of any Claim in accordance with this Section III shall
be made from the Escrow Cash and Escrow Stock with an aggregate value
equal to such Indemnity Amount; with the shares of Parent Stock valued at
$8.42 per share (the “Parent
Stock Value”),
in proportion to the respective interests of the Stockholders, as set
forth in Exhibit A and, as to each Stockholder, in the respective
proportion of Escrow Cash and Escrow Stock for such Stockholder set forth
in Exhibit A (in each case as such respective proportion may have been
adjusted by the substitution of cash for Parent Stock as provided in
paragraph C of this Section III), provided
that
at the written direction of the Representatives delivered to the Escrow
Agent within 12 Banking Days after the date of the written notice from
Parent in respect of such Claim, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the
portion of the Indemnity Amount deemed attributable to any Stockholder in
such different proportions of cash and shares of Parent Stock as are
indicated in such direction, provided that in no case can such proportions
exceed as to any Stockholder the Escrow Cash and Escrow Stock deemed
attributable to such Stockholder as set forth in Exhibit A (in each case
as such respective proportion may have been adjusted by the substitution
of cash for Parent Stock as provided in paragraph C of this Section
III). |
3
C.
|
By
written direction of the Representatives delivered at any time to the
Escrow Agent, there may be substituted for all or part of the shares of
Escrow Stock attributable to any Stockholder as set forth in Exhibit A
cash at the rate of the Parent Stock Value for each such share and, upon
receipt of cash in such amount, the Escrow Agent shall release shares of
Parent Stock from the Escrow Stock by delivery to the Representatives of a
certificate for such number of shares of Parent Stock registered in the
name of the Stockholder to whom such shares were attributable. All cash
delivered in substitution shall be Escrow Cash for all purposes hereof and
Escrow Agent shall amend Exhibit A hereto to reflect such
change. |
D.
|
Within
10 days after the date that is the earlier of (a) the 60th day after
Parent files its first Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission after the date of this Agreement and (b) May 31, 2006
(the “Claim Date”), or, if earlier, the date on which Parent and the
Representatives deliver to the Escrow Agent a written statement that no
further liability exists pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Escrow
Agent shall disburse: (i) to each of the Stockholders, in accordance with
the remaining shares of Parent Stock constituting part of the Escrow Stock
and the remaining cash constituting part of the Escrow Cash attributable
to such Stockholder as set forth in Exhibit A, less any amounts that the
Escrow Agent shall have then previously been directed by Parent pursuant
to Section III.A.(b) to hold as security for any claims pending under the
Merger Agreement as of the Claim Date and any amounts as to which Parent
shall have given notice to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 7.2(d)(1)
of the Merger Agreement and less (i) any unpaid Escrow Agent fees or
Escrow Agent expenses payable by the Representatives on behalf of
Stockholders and then (ii) any unpaid Representative claims pursuant to
Section IX or expenses pursuant to Section X
hereto. |
E. |
Upon
receipt by the Escrow Agent from time to time and at any time during the
term of this Agreement of joint written instructions executed by the
Representatives and Parent or a court order or arbitration award directing
disbursement of Escrow Assets, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse
Escrow Assets then held by it to the persons and in the amounts specified
therein. |
F. |
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be
required at any time to disburse more than the aggregate amount of Escrow
Assets then held by
it. |
G. |
Nothing
contained herein shall obligate or be construed to obligate the
Representatives or Parent to submit any dispute or claim to
arbitration. |
4
IV.
Investment of Escrow Cash; Deposit of Escrow Stock.
A.
|
During
the term of this Agreement, at the joint written direction of Parent and
the Representatives, Escrow Cash deposited shall be invested in an
interest bearing money market account or other pooling arrangement that
exclusively purchases and holds investments itemized in Exhibit B.
Periodic statements will be provided to Parent and the Representatives
reflecting transactions executed in the Escrow Cash. Parent and the
Representatives, upon written request, shall receive a statement of
transaction details upon completion of any securities transaction in the
Escrow Cash without any additional cost. The Escrow Agent shall have the
right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds
necessary to make required payments under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent
shall have no liability for any loss sustained as a result of any
investment in an investment indicated on Exhibit B or any investment made
pursuant to the joint written investment instructions of Parent and the
Representatives or as a result of any liquidation of any investment prior
to its maturity or for the failure of the Representatives or Parent to
give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest in the Escrow
Cash. |
B.
|
Any
earnings or loss on investment of the Escrow Cash shall be allocated as to
each Stockholder in the respective proportion of Escrow Cash for such
Stockholder set forth in Exhibit A (in each case as such respective
proportion may have been adjusted by the substitution of cash for Parent
Stock as provided in paragraph C of Section III). The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that any interest or other income earned on the
Escrowed Cash shall constitute gross income of the Stockholders for all
income tax purposes, and the Stockholders shall file all income tax
returns (including without limitation, information returns) in a manner
consistent with such treatment. The Representatives shall provide Escrow
Agent with such written information as is necessary for the Escrow Agent
to determine each Stockholder’s share of any income earned on the Escrowed
Cash for income tax reporting purposes (including, without limitation, the
preparation and filing of all IRS Form 1099s). The Escrow Agent shall
distribute to the Stockholders throughout the term of this Agreement, on
or about each April 1, June 1, September 1 and January 1, 48% of the
interest or other income earned on the Escrowed Cash since the later of
the date hereof or the determination date for the most recent such
payment. |
5
C.
|
The
Escrow Agent shall hold each share of Escrow Stock in a separate account
maintained for the benefit of the Stockholders and Parent. The Escrow
Stock shall not be subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of any
party hereto and shall be used solely for the purpose set forth in this
Agreement. |
D.
|
The
Escrow Agent may make investments permitted by this Section through or
from its own bond department or trust investments department, or its
parent’s or affiliate’s bond department or trust investments department.
Except as otherwise provided hereunder or agreed in writing among the
parties hereto, the Representatives, for and on behalf of the
Stockholders, shall retain the authority to institute, participate and
join in any plan of reorganization, readjustment, merger or consolidation
with respect to the issuer of any securities held hereunder, and, in
general, to exercise each and every other power or right with respect to
each such asset or investment as individuals generally have and enjoy with
respect to their own assets and investment, including power to vote upon
any securities. Parent
and the Representatives acknowledge that regulations of the Comptroller of
the Currency grant the Stockholders the right to receive brokerage
confirmations of the security transactions as they occur. The
Representatives, for and on behalf of the Stockholders, specifically waive
such notification to the extent permitted by law and will receive periodic
cash transaction statements which will detail all investment
transactions. |
V. Responsibilities and Duties of Escrow
Agent.
A.
|
The
Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for following the instructions
herein contained or provided for in any written instructions given jointly
by the Representatives and Parent. In the event that the Escrow Agent
shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, shall fail to
receive written instructions or shall receive instructions, claims or
demands from any other Party that, in its opinion, 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 directed otherwise in writing by
all of the other Parties or by a final order or judgment of a court of
competent
jurisdiction. |
6
B.

or performance as
Representatives
under this Agreement, except as caused by their gross negligence or willful
misconduct, including the legal costs and expenses of defending

against
or initiating any claim or liability in connection with their performance

or provisions of
this
agreement or instrument for any action taken or not taken in performance if

termination of (i) this Agreement and (ii), with respect to claims arising in
connection with the
Representative’s duties while acting as such, the resignation or removal of any
Representative.
X. Discharge and
Resignation of Representatives; Expenses of Representatives. Each
