INDEMNIFICATION ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [__________], 2022, by and among Abri Ventures I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Indemnified Party Representative”), solely in its capacity as representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of Abri SPAC I Inc. (the “Parent”) as the Indemnified Party under the Merger Agreement, Erez Simha (the “Securityholder Representative”), solely in his capacity as representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Company Securityholders, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Escrow Agent”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A. Parent, Securityholder Representative, Abri Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), the Indemnified Party Representative and Apifiny Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), have entered into a Merger Agreement, dated as of January 27, 2022 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub, will merge with and into the Company, after which the Company will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and Parent shall change its name to “Apifiny Group Inc.” Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have their respective meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

B. The Merger Agreement provides that Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, the Escrow Shares (as defined below) with the Escrow Agent to serve as security for and a source of payment with respect to the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification under Article XI of the Merger Agreement.

 

C. The Escrow Agent has agreed to accept, hold and disburse the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.Appointment.

 

(a) Each of the Indemnified Party Representative and the Securityholder Representative hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

(b) The Escrow Agent shall act only in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and shall have no duties or obligations with respect to the Merger Agreement.

 

2.Escrow Shares.

 

(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall have deposited in escrow 2,250,000 shares of the common stock of Parent (the “Escrow Shares”) with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Shares and shall hold the Escrow Shares as a book-entry position registered in the name of “Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as Escrow Agent”.

 

(b) During the term of this Agreement, neither the Securityholder Representative nor the Indemnified Party Representative, shall have the right to exercise any voting rights with respect to any of the Escrow Shares. With respect to any matter for which the Escrow Shares are permitted to vote, the Escrow Agent shall vote, or cause to be voted, the Escrow Shares in the same proportion that the number of common shares owned by all other stockholders of Parent are voted, as notified to the Escrow Agent by the Parent. In the absence of notice from the Parent, as to the proportion that the number of common shares of owned by all other stockholders of Parent are voted, the Escrow Agent shall not vote any of the shares comprising the Escrow Shares.

 

 

 

 

(c) Any dividends paid with respect to the Escrow Shares shall be deemed part of the escrow hereunder and be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held in a bank account and be deposited in a non-interest bearing account to be maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the Escrow Agent.

 

(d) In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of the common stock of Parent, other than a regular cash dividend, the Escrow Shares shall be appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

 

3.Disposition and Termination.

 

(a) The Escrow Shares shall serve as security for and a source of payment with respect to the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification under Article XI of the Merger Agreement. Claims under the foregoing rights to indemnification shall hereinafter be referred to, individually as an “Indemnity Escrow Claim” and collectively as “Indemnity Escrow Claims”. For the avoidance of doubt, Indemnity Escrow Claims shall be asserted and resolved solely as set forth in Article XI of the Merger Agreement, in each case subject to the time periods and other restrictions set forth in such Article XI. The Indemnified Party Representative shall notify the Securityholder Representative and Escrow Agent in writing of any sums which the Indemnified Party Representative claims are subject to an Indemnity Escrow Claim (an “Indemnity Escrow Notice”) and its calculation of the number of Escrow Shares needed to cover such sums, calculated in accordance with Section 3(f) below. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to determine whether any Indemnity Escrow Notice accurately describes an Indemnity Escrow Claim or conforms to or is permitted under by or by virtue of the Merger Agreement, but shall be entitled to assume conclusively and without inquiry that any such Indemnity Escrow Notice satisfies the requirements of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not distribute all or a portion of the Escrow Shares except in accordance with Section 3(b).

 

(b) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of either (i) a joint written instruction in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A signed by both the Indemnified Party Representative and the Securityholder Representative (a “Joint Written Instruction”) or (ii) a Final Order (as defined below), a copy of which shall be simultaneously provided to the other parties hereto, in each case specifying the amount, if known, of Escrow Shares asserted by the Indemnified Party Representative for such Indemnity Escrow Claim, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the portion of the Escrow Shares to such parties as provided in the Joint Written Instruction or Final Order, as the case may be. Any Joint Written Instruction shall contain all requisite information needed by the Escrow Agent in order to distribute the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Agreement, including names, addresses, number of shares, and any other information requested by the Escrow Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Agent shall make distributions of the Escrow Shares only in accordance with a Joint Written Instruction or Final Order.

 

(c) Within ten (10) Business Days after the date that is the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date, or (ii) the date of the audited consolidated balance sheet of Parent, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent, for the fiscal year of the Closing (the “Release Date”), the Indemnified Party Representative and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver a Joint Written Instruction to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders) the number of Escrow Shares left in escrow, if greater than zero, equal to (i) the number of Escrow Shares left in escrow, less (ii) any Escrow Shares that are subject to an Indemnity Escrow Claim with respect to which the Escrow Agent shall have received an Indemnity Escrow Notice prior to the Release Date, but which remains unresolved or unsatisfied as of such date (the “Disputed Amount”). With respect to any Disputed Amounts, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amounts in escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until the resolution of such underlying Indemnity Escrow Claims. Such Disputed Amounts, once resolved, shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement or disbursed to the Securityholder Representative pursuant to this Section 3(c), as the case may be.

 

2

 

 

(d) Upon the delivery of all of the Escrow Shares by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and instructions, this Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 6.

 

(e) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Final Order” means a final and nonappealable judgment, award or order of a court of competent jurisdiction (an “Order”), which Order is delivered to the Escrow Agent accompanied by a written instruction from the Indemnified Party Representative or the Securityholder Representative (as applicable) given to effectuate such Order and confirming that such Order is final, nonappealable and issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such confirmation and instruction and shall have no responsibility to review the Order to which such confirmation and instruction refers.

 

(f) The parties agree that the number of Escrow Shares needed to cover any Indemnity Escrow Claim shall be calculated based on the VWAP of the Escrow Shares for each of the following: (i) for the Indemnity Escrow Claim, the Trading Day prior to the date on which the Indemnity Escrow Claim is issued, (ii) for the Joint Written Instruction, the average of the VWAP for the five (5) Trading Days prior to the date on which the Joint Written Instruction was issued, and (iii) for a Final Order, the average of the VWAP for the five (5) Trading Days prior to the date on which the Final Order was issued.

 

4.Escrow Agent.

 

(a) The Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties shall be implied. 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 and any other person or entity, in connection herewith, including the Merger 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 obligation of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement

 

(b) In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement with those of the Merger Agreement, any schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement, or any other agreement between the Indemnified Party Representative, the Securityholder Representative or any other person or entity related to the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

 

(c) 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 any of the parties without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any beneficiary, or other person or entity, for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Shares, or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 9 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 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.

 

(d) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent's fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to any party hereto or any beneficiary of the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents.

(e) 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 reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent's fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to any of the parties hereto or any beneficiary or the Escrow Shares. 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 hereto which, 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 the property held in escrow until it shall be given a direction in writing which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Escrow Agent, until an Order or judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction agrees 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 Indemnified Party Representative, and the Securityholder Representative, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect; provided that such resignation shall not take effect until a successor Escrow Agent has been appointed in accordance with this Section 5. If the Indemnified Party Representative, and the Securityholder Representative 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 or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent's sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Escrow Shares (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 an Order or judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery, the Escrow Agent's obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 7.
