3. | No Other Representations. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in Section 1 and Section 2, none of the TP Parties or the GB Parties or any of their respective affiliates, nor any person acting on behalf of any of them or any of their respective affiliates has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such TP Party or GB Party, as the case may be, and/or this Agreement, as applicable, and the parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. |
4. | Backstop and Other Commitments. |
(a) | Each TP Party shall not, directly or indirectly, elect to redeem any shares of FPAC Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation in connection with the Business Combination. |
(b) | As promptly as practicable following the date hereof and in any event within one (1) Business Day, Cloudbreak and Globetrotter shall each agree to and enter into an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Cloudbreak and Globetrotter (the Escrow Agreement) with an affiliate of JPMorgan (or another financial institution selected by Globetrotter and reasonably acceptable to Cloudbreak) as escrow agent (the Escrow Agent). The Escrow Agent will establish an escrow account (Escrow Account) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Within one (1) Business Day of establishment of the Escrow Account, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, Cloudbreak and/or its affiliates shall, and the TP Funds, severally and not jointly, shall cause Cloudbreak and/or its affiliates to, deposit, by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available |
3
funds, $61,000,000 (the Escrow Amount) into the Escrow Account. Cloudbreak and Globetrotter each agree, and the Escrow Agreement shall provide, that upon Globetrotters delivery of a direction letter (the Direction Letter) confirming to the Escrow Agent that the Closing is scheduled to be consummated on the next Business Day and directing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Account the Escrow Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse from the Escrow Account the Escrow Amount to FPAC to be held by FPAC in escrow and applied to the purchase of the Forward Purchase Shares in accordance with the Forward Purchase Agreement immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date. If the Forward Purchase Price (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) is less than the Escrow Amount, then Cloudbreak and Globetrotter shall, no later than the Closing Date, deliver a Direction Letter (signed by each of them) to the Escrow Agent to disburse the amount equal to the excess of the Escrow Amount over the Forward Purchase Price to Cloudbreak on or promptly after the Closing Date. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that, if the Merger Agreement has been terminated (as may be confirmed to the Escrow Agent by any party to the Escrow Agreement), then the Escrow Amount will be immediately (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) returned to Cloudbreak. The TP Funds, severally and not jointly, shall cause Cloudbreak to pay its portion of any fees, costs, expenses and charges of whatever nature (the Escrow Costs) that are payable pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and shall, severally and not jointly, make available to Cloudbreak any funds as are necessary for Cloudbreak to pay the Escrow Costs. |
(c) | In consideration of the provisions of this Agreement, immediately upon consummation of the Closing pursuant to the Merger Agreement on the Closing Date, the Founder shall, and Cloudbreak and the TP Funds shall cause the Founder to, transfer to Globetrotter (or its designees) all New Topco Shares received by them in respect of the Founder Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all FPAC Founder Contingent Shares, if applicable, and all FPAC Warrants in respect of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), other than the New Topco Shares received by the Founder in respect of 4,316,321 Founder Shares (the Surviving Founder Shares), which shall be retained by the Founder and transferred to, or otherwise allocated by the Founder for the benefit of, Thomas W. Farley, David Bonanno and Kelly Vallante as described in, and be subject to the provisions described in, the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit B (the Term Sheet). |
(d) | To the extent applicable, each TP Party and any of their respective affiliates shall, if it has not already done so, promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the date hereof) submit (and not revoke) a duly completed proxy to cause all FPAC Shares owned by it to be voted for the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (each as defined in the effective Registration Statement on Form F-4 (Registration No. 333-236581). |
(e) | Subject to compliance by the TP Parties with their obligations in this Agreement and the consummation of the Forward Closing (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) with respect to $61,000,000 of Forward Purchase Shares or such lesser amount as shall be required to be purchased pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement (such compliance and consummation, the Performance Condition), each GB Party hereby agrees not to enforce any of its rights or claim any damages against any Third Point Releasee pursuant to: |
4
(i) | any TP Transaction Document or with respect to any matters arising therefrom; and |
(ii) | the Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of January 16, 2020, by and among the TP Funds, New Topco, Cayman Holdings and FPAC (the Holding Share Purchase Agreement) and the Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of January 16, 2020, by and among the TP Funds, New Topco, Globetrotter and FPAC (the Globetrotter Share Purchase Agreement and, together with the Holding Share Purchase Agreement, the Share Purchase Agreements) or with respect to any matters arising therefrom. |
(f) | Subject to the Performance Condition, each of the TP Parties, Cayman Holdings and Globetrotter (each, a SHA Party) hereby agrees that, immediately upon the Shareholders Agreement becoming effective pursuant to Section 4.2 thereof (the SHA Effective Date), each of the TP Parties is and shall be released and discharged from any and all liabilities and obligations, and shall cease to have any rights or benefits, under the Shareholders Agreement, and shall cease to be a party to the Shareholders Agreement. Immediately upon the SHA Effective Date, the SHA Parties further agree that all references, terms, rights and other provisions set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 (and rights of approval or consent under Article III) of the Shareholders Agreement pertaining to each of the TP Parties is and shall be terminated. Each SHA Party agrees that this Section 4(f) shall meet, and be deemed to meet, all requirements in respect of amendment contained in the Shareholders Agreement. |
(g) | Each of New Topco, Globetrotter and the Founder (each, a Relationship Party) hereby agrees that the Founder hereby is and shall be released and discharged from any and all liabilities and obligations, and shall cease to have any rights or benefits, under the Relationship Agreement, and shall cease to be a party to the Relationship Agreement. The Relationship Parties further agree that all references, terms, rights and other provisions of the Relationship Agreement pertaining to the Founder, and the participation by the Founder in the Relationship Agreement hereby is and shall be terminated. Each Relationship Party agrees that this Section 4(f) shall meet, and be deemed to meet, all requirements in respect of amendment contained in the Relationship Agreement. |
(h) | Each TP Party hereby agrees that such TP Party shall cease to have any rights or benefits it may have under the Board Rules (as defined in the Relationship Agreement), and that all references, terms, rights and other provisions of the Board Rules pertaining to any of them is and shall be terminated. |
5
(i) | The TP Parties agree not to discuss or communicate with any existing or potential source of debt or equity financing for the Transactions with respect to the Transactions, except with Globetrotters prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Globetrotters sole discretion and may be conditioned upon Globetrotter participating in such discussion or communication). |
5. | Backstop Subscriber Amount Acknowledgement. Each TP Party agrees and acknowledges that as a result of the TP Funds not providing cash funding in excess of the Escrow Amount to Cloudbreak to purchase shares of FPAC Common Stock under the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller Parties shall receive an increased amount of Stock Consideration upon consummation of the Closing under the Merger Agreement in accordance with Article II of the Merger Agreement. The GB Parties represent and warrant that the capitalization table sent from ***@*** of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP to ***@*** of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP by email at or about 10:36 p.m. Eastern time on August 15, 2020 accurately reflects, in all material respects, as of the date sent and based upon the assumptions described therein, the expected capitalization of New Topco immediately following the Closing, assuming a maximum redemption scenario. |
6. | Bank of Italy and Other Conditions; Termination of Merger Agreement. |
(a) | Each TP Party agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, assert or knowingly encourage FPAC, any other TP Party or any other party to any TP Transaction Document or Transaction Document (other than a GB Party) to assert that any condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the TP Transaction Documents and/or the Transaction Documents has not been satisfied. |
(b) | Each of the TP Parties shall, and shall cause their affiliates to, promptly take any and all reasonable actions (without prejudice to its rights under this Agreement), as may be reasonably requested by any GB Party to enable the Specified Condition and the other conditions to consummation of the Transactions set forth in any TP Transaction Document or Transaction Document to be satisfied or waived as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of the conditions in Section 10.01(a) of the Merger Agreement, as requested to enable any party to obviate the need for such condition to be satisfied), including without limitation, if requested by any GB Party, supporting a reverse stock split of the FPAC Common Stock with a view to enabling the New Topco Shares to meet the minimum share price listing standards of the NYSE, including by voting its shares of FPAC Common Stock, if necessary, to approve or facilitate such a reverse stock split. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the TP Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall cause their controlled affiliates not to, do or cause to be done anything that such party reasonably expects might undermine or make more difficult the satisfaction of any condition to consummation of the transactions set forth in any TP Transaction Document or Transaction Document on or prior to the Closing Date. |
6
(c) | Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that the two provisos at the end of each of Sections 5(a) and (b) of the TPB Letter shall be deemed to be deleted from the TPB Letter. |
(d) | Each of the TP Parties acknowledges that FPAC has confirmed and agreed that it will not exercise any right it may have to terminate the Merger Agreement prior to September 11, 2020, provided that FPAC is not prevented from taking any actions required pursuant to the terms of the FPAC Organizational Documents and/or the Trust Agreement. |
(e) | If at the Closing the listing approval condition set forth in Section 10.01(e) of the Merger Agreement has not been satisfied, then after the Closing, New Topco agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek and obtain approval for listing on the NYSE, NYSE American, NASDAQ, or another nationally or internationally recognized stock exchange (each, a Preferred Venue) or another stock exchange or the over-the-counter market, which may include OTCBB or pink sheets (each, a Another Venue); provided that New Topco agrees to continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek and obtain approval for listing on a Preferred Venue even if it has already obtained approval for listing on Another Venue. New Topcos obligations under the first sentence of this Section 6(e) shall terminate upon the earliest of: (i) twelve (12) months after the Closing Date whether or not approval of such a listing has been obtained; (ii) obtaining approval for listing on a Preferred Venue (whether before, at or after Closing), provided that the penultimate sentence of this Section 6(e) will apply one time; and (iii) consummation of any merger, consolidation or similar business combination involving New Topco and as a result of which Globetrotter and its Affiliates cease to own more than 50% of the outstanding New Topco Shares, or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of New Topco and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (such earliest date, the Termination Date). New Topco will not be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts under this Section 6(e) during any period when the conditions described in the definition of Blackout Period in the Registration Rights Agreement would be met. Following listing on a Preferred Venue, New Topco will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing until the earlier to occur of clause (i) and clause (iii) of the immediately foregoing sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, upon termination of New Topcos obligations under this Section 6(e) (whether before, at, or after Closing), New Topco is not obligated to maintain any listing (or to seek to obtain any other listing). If a listing has been obtained in the twelve (12)-month period after the Closing Date, but New Topco is de-listed (without voluntarily having sought such a de-listing) during such twelve (12)-month period, then, in one instance only, the obligations in this Section 6(e) will be reinstated until the Termination Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the proviso in clause (ii) above will no longer apply). If New Topco determines voluntarily to seek a de-listing and at such time Cloudbreak and its Affiliates still own in aggregate at least 25% of the number of New Topco Shares they owned immediately following the Closing, then New Topco will notify Third Point LLC of such determination and use its commercially reasonable efforts not to be delisted until ninety (90) days following the date of such notice, except with the written consent of Third Point LLC, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that New Topcos obligations in this sentence will terminate in any case on the earlier of two (2) years after the Closing Date and a Termination Date under clause (iii) above. |
7
(f) | Globetrotter agrees to comply with its waivers and commitments in, and to exercise all rights and powers that it has as a shareholder of the Company and New Topco to cause the Group to enter into the agreements contemplated by and to perform, that certain Waiver Letter dated July 13, 2020 from Globetrotter to FPAC. |
7. | Shareholders Agreement Acknowledgement. The TP Parties acknowledge and agree that no TP Party has or will have any rights under the Shareholders Agreement arising with respect to or in connection with any Transfer (as defined in the Shareholder Agreement) of New Topco Shares by Globetrotter, Cayman Holdings or any of their affiliates to one or more direct or indirect investors in Globetrotter or Cayman Holdings. |
8. | Other Agreements Acknowledgement. The TP Parties acknowledge and agree that no TP Party has or will have any rights under any TP Transaction Document or Transaction Document arising with respect to or in connection with any amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification of any PIPE Agreement (other than the Share Purchase Agreements) or any of the terms or conditions of any PIPE Agreement (other than in respect of the Share Purchase Agreements), whether before or after the Closing. |
9. | Agreement Regarding FPAC Transaction Expenses. The TP Parties agree that if the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of outside counsel to FPAC incurred on or prior to the Closing Date or with respect to post-closing work performed by the Persons who served as outside counsel to FPAC prior to Closing (the Legal Expenses) exceed $12,000,000, then within five (5) Business Days following a written notice from Globetrotter setting forth the amount by which the Legal Expenses exceed $12,000,000 (such amount, an Excess), together with a calculation of each such Excess and reasonable supporting documentation (it being agreed that, without limitation, copies of invoices (with appropriate redactions for privileged or confidential information) will be deemed to be reasonable supporting documentation), the TP Funds shall, severally and not jointly, pay (or cause to be paid) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts of the payee in respect of such Legal Services, as shall be reflected in the invoice therefrom, provided that if a GB Party has paid such payees then the TP Funds shall, severally and not jointly, promptly pay (or cause to be paid), as a reimbursement, the amount such GB Party has paid for such Legal Services by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as Globetrotter shall direct in such notice. Globetrotter may deliver notices under this Section 9 more than once and from time to time as amounts of Excess become due and payable and shall use reasonable efforts to provide no more than two such notices in any calendar month. The TP Parties obligations under this Section 9 shall expire four (4) months after the Closing Date, provided that any accrued but unpaid obligations with respect to any notices duly received on or before the date that is four (4) months after the Closing Date shall not expire unless and until such obligations have been paid in full in accordance with this Section 9. The TP Parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, to reasonably cooperate with the GB Parties with respect to discussions involving the Deferred Discount (as defined in the Trust Agreement). |

The Third Point Releasors further covenant and agree that (i) they will not sue or bring any action or cause of action, including by way of third-party claim, cross-claim, or counterclaim, against any of the Globetrotter Releasees in respect of any of the claims released in this Section 10(a); (ii) they will not initiate or participate in bringing or pursuing any class, collective, private attorney general, or other representative action against any of the Globetrotter Releasees in respect of any of the claims released in this Section 10(a); and (iii) they will not assist any third party in initiating or pursuing a class, collective, private attorney general, or other representative action in respect of any of the claims released in this Section 10(a). |

Exhibit A
Escrow Agreement
ESCROW AGREEMENT
THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is entered into as of August [], 2020, by and among Cloudbreak Aggregator LP (Party A), SL Globetrotter, L.P. (Party B and together with Party A, sometimes referred to individually as Party and collectively as the Parties) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Escrow Agent).
WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to deposit in escrow certain funds and wish such deposit to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
1. Appointment. The Parties hereby appoint Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2. Escrow Deposit; Investment. (a) Party B agrees to direct Party A to deposit, within one (1) Business Day following the establishment of the demand deposit account (the Escrow Account), with Escrow Agent the sum of $61,000,000 (the Escrow Deposit). Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Deposit in one or more demand deposit accounts. No investment of the Escrow Deposit will be permitted during the term of this Agreement.
(b) The Parties hereby represent to Escrow Agent that no tax withholding or information reporting of any kind is required by Escrow Agent.
3. Disposition and Termination. (a) The Parties shall act in accordance with, and Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Deposit or portion thereof in this Section 3(a) as follows:
(i) Party B will deliver a written direction letter, with e-mail being sufficient, in substantially the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto (the Direction Letter) to Escrow Agent (i) confirming to Escrow Agent that the closing under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 16, 2020 (the Merger Agreement) by and among Party B, Far Point Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (FPAC) and the other parties thereto is scheduled to be consummated on the next Business Day following delivery of the Direction Letter and (ii) directing Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Account the Escrow Deposit to the account of FPAC specified herein (the FPAC Account). Following receipt of the Direction Letter, Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse, via wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Escrow Deposit to the FPAC Account and provide to Party A and Party B federal reference numbers for the wire transfer. If the Forward Purchase Price (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement dated as of May 18, 2018 between FPAC and Party A) is less than the Escrow Deposit, then Party A and Party B shall, no later than the Closing Date, deliver a direction letter (signed by each of them) to Escrow Agent to disburse the amount equal to the excess of the Escrow Deposit over the Forward Purchase Price to Party A on or promptly after the Closing Date. If the Merger Agreement has been terminated (as may be confirmed to Escrow Agent by Party A or Party B), then the Escrow Deposit will be immediately (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) returned to Party A. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Party A shall have no right to object to any Direction Letter and any objection or other instruction which attempts to prevent or delay the release of any such funds pursuant to any Direction Letter shall be ignored by the Escrow Agent without any liability. Escrow Agent may rely upon the validity, accuracy, and content of the statements contained in any Direction Letter or confirmation delivered pursuant to this Section 3. Party B shall simultaneously provide a copy of any Direction Letter to Party A. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively presume that Party A contemporaneously received each Direction Letter received by Escrow Agent.
(ii) Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Deposit, or any portion thereof, to Party A upon the joint written instruction of both Party A and Party B in substantially the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto (a Joint Instruction).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 8, and other than as set forth above, any instructions setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Deposit, must be in writing and executed by the appropriate Party or Parties as evidenced by the signatures of the person or persons signing this Agreement or one of the designated persons as set forth on the Designation of Authorized Representatives attached hereto as Schedule 1-A and 1-B (each an Authorized Representative), and delivered to Escrow Agent only by confirmed facsimile or as a Portable Document Format (PDF) attached to an
email only at the fax number or email address set forth in Section 8 below. Each Designation of Authorized Representatives shall be signed by a Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or other duly authorized person of the named Party. No instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Deposit shall be deemed delivered and effective unless Escrow Agent actually shall have received it by facsimile or as a PDF attached to an email only at the fax number or email address set forth in Section 8 and in the case of a facsimile, as evidenced by a confirmed transmittal to the Partys or Parties transmitting fax number. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Deposit if delivered to any other fax number or email address, including but not limited to a valid email address of any employee of Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent (i) shall have no obligation to take any action in connection with this Agreement on a non-Business Day and any action Escrow Agent may otherwise be required to perform on a non-Business Day may be performed by Escrow Agent on the following Business Day and (ii) may not transfer or distribute the Escrow Deposit until Escrow Agent has completed its security procedures.
(b) Each Party authorizes Escrow Agent to use the funds transfer instructions (Initial Standing Instructions) specified for it below to disburse any funds due to FPAC without a verifying call-back or email confirmation as set forth below:
FPAC: |
Bank Name: |
Bank Address: |
ABA number: |
Credit A/C Name: |
Credit A/C # |
If Applicable: |
FFC A/C Name: |
FFC A/C #: |
FFC A/C Address: |
(c) In the event any funds transfer instructions other than the Initial Standing Instructions are set forth in a permitted instruction from a Party or the Parties in accordance with this Agreement (any such additional funds transfer instructions, Additional Standing Instructions and, together with the Initial Standing Instructions, the Standing Instructions), Escrow Agent will confirm such Additional Standing Instructions by a telephone call-back or email confirmation to an Authorized Representative of such Party or Parties, and Escrow Agent may rely and act upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be that Authorized Representative. No funds will be disbursed until such confirmation occurs. Each Party agrees that after such confirmation, Escrow Agent may continue to rely solely upon such Additional Standing Instructions and all identifying information set forth therein for such beneficiary without an additional telephone call-back or email confirmation. Further, it is understood and agreed that if multiple disbursements are provided for under this Agreement pursuant to any Standing Instructions, only the date, amount and/or description of payments may change without requiring a telephone call-back or email confirmation.
(d) The persons designated as Authorized Representatives and telephone numbers for same may be changed only in a writing executed by an Authorized Representative or other duly authorized person of the applicable Party setting forth such changes and actually received by Escrow Agent via facsimile or as a PDF attached to an email. Escrow Agent will confirm any such change in Authorized Representatives by a telephone call-back or email confirmation to an Authorized Representative and Escrow Agent may rely and act upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be that Authorized Representative.
(e) Escrow Agent, any intermediary bank and the beneficiarys bank in any funds transfer may rely upon the identifying number of the beneficiarys bank or any intermediary bank included in a funds transfer instruction provided by a Party or the Parties and, if applicable, confirmed in accordance with this Agreement. Further, the beneficiarys bank in the funds transfer instructions may make payment on the basis of the account number provided in such Partys or the Parties instruction and, if applicable, confirmed in accordance with this Agreement even though it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary.
(f) Business Day shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banks are required or authorized to be closed in New York, New York. The Parties acknowledge that the security procedures set forth in this Section 3 are commercially reasonable. Upon delivery of the Escrow Deposit in full by Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 3, this Agreement shall terminate, and all the related account(s) shall be closed, subject to the provisions of Sections 6 and 7.
2
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that an electronic signature is affixed to any instruction, which instruction is not the Initial Standing Instructions (a Non-Initial Standing Instruction), issued hereunder to disburse or transfer funds, such Non-Initial Standing Instruction shall be confirmed by a verifying call-back (or email confirmation) to an Authorized Representative.
4. Escrow Agent. 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, including but not limited to any fiduciary duty, shall be implied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Escrow Agent has no knowledge of, nor any obligation to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for determining the meaning of any capitalized term not entirely defined herein, nor shall Escrow Agent be required to determine if any Party has complied with any other agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of any other agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control the actions of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon any written notice, document, instruction or request delivered by the Parties believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by an Authorized Representative(s), as applicable, without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind and 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. Any notice, document, instruction or request delivered by a Party but not contemplated under this Agreement may be disregarded by Escrow Agent. 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 Escrow Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct was the cause of any direct loss to either Party. Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents. In the event Escrow Agent shall be uncertain, or believes there is some ambiguity, as to its duties or rights hereunder or receives instructions, claims or demands from any Party hereto which in Escrow Agents judgment conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, or if Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions from the Parties, Escrow Agent shall be entitled either to: (a) refrain from taking any action until it shall be given (i) a joint written direction executed by Authorized Representatives of the Parties which eliminates such ambiguity or conflict or (ii) a court order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction (it being understood that Escrow Agent shall be entitled conclusively to rely and act upon any such court order and shall have no obligation to determine whether any such court order is final); or (b) file an action in interpleader. Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Deposit, including, without limitation, the Escrow Deposit nor shall Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any amounts deposited with it hereunder. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
5. Succession. Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving no less than thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties or may be removed, with or without cause, by the Parties at any time after giving not less than thirty (30) days advance joint written notice to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agents sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Escrow Deposit (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute escrow agent, if any, appointed by the Parties, or such other person designated by the Parties, or in accordance with the directions of a final, non-appealable court order, at which time of delivery, Escrow Agents obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. If prior to the effective resignation or removal date, the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent, or to instruct Escrow Agent to deliver the Escrow Deposit to another person as provided above, or if such delivery is contrary to applicable law, at any time on or after the effective resignation date, Escrow Agent may either (a) interplead the Escrow Deposit with a court located in the State of New York and the costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys fees which are incurred in connection with such proceeding may be charged against and withdrawn from the Escrow Deposit; or (b) appoint a successor escrow agent of its own choice. Any appointment of a successor escrow agent shall be binding upon the Parties and no appointed successor escrow agent shall be deemed to be an agent of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposit to any appointed successor escrow agent, at which time Escrow Agents obligations under this Agreement shall cease and terminate. Any entity into which 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 Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.
6. Compensation; Acknowledgment. (a) Upon the earlier of closing of the transactions pursuant to the Merger Agreement or within 30 days of the date hereof, Party A and Party B shall be severally and not jointly liable to pay Escrow Agent fifty (50) percent of the fees set forth in Schedule 2.
(b) Each of the Parties further agrees to the disclosures and agreements set forth in Schedule 2.
3
7. Indemnification and Reimbursement. Party A and Party B shall be severally and not jointly liable for fifty (50) percent of any fees, costs and expenses to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse Escrow Agent and its affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, directors, agents and employees (the Indemnitees) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys fees) (collectively Losses), resulting directly or indirectly from (a) Escrow Agents performance of this Agreement, except to the extent that such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, breach of this Agreement or bad faith of such Indemnitee; and (b) Escrow Agents following, accepting or acting upon any instructions or directions, whether joint or singular, from the Parties received in accordance with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not have any right of set-off against the Escrow Deposit for the payment of any claim for indemnification, fees, expenses and amounts due to Escrow Agent or an Indemnitee. The obligations set forth in this Section 7 shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.
8. Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3, all communications hereunder shall be in writing or set forth in a PDF attached to an email, and shall be delivered by facsimile, email or overnight courier only to the appropriate fax number, email address, or notice address set forth for each party as follows:

9. Compliance with Directives. In the event that a legal garnishment, attachment, levy, restraining notice, court order or other governmental order (a Directive) is served with respect to any of the Escrow Deposit, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by a Directive, Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all such Directives so entered or issued, and in the event that Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such Directive it shall not be liable to any of the Parties hereto or to any other person by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such Directive be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
4
10. Miscellaneous. (a) The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented only by a writing signed by Escrow Agent and the Parties. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior consent of Escrow Agent and the other Party and any assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be ineffective and void. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York. Each Party and Escrow Agent irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of New York. To the extent that in any jurisdiction either Party may now or hereafter be entitled to claim for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment (before or after judgment) or other legal process or immunity from liability, such Party shall not claim, and hereby irrevocably waives, such immunity. Escrow Agent and the Parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Agreement.
(b) No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control. This Agreement and any joint instructions from the Parties may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument or instruction, as applicable. This Agreement may be executed and transmitted by facsimile or as a PDF attached to an email and each such execution shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed original, wet-inked signature. All signatures of the parties to this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or as a PDF attached to an email, and such facsimile or PDF will, for all purposes, be deemed to be the original signature of such party whose signature it reproduces, and will be binding upon such party. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The Parties each represent, warrant and covenant that (i) each document, notice, instruction or request provided by such Party to Escrow Agent shall comply with applicable laws and regulations; (ii) such Party has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of the duties and obligations to be performed by it hereunder; and (iii) the person(s) executing this Agreement on such Partys behalf and certifying Authorized Representatives in the applicable Schedule 1 has been duly and properly authorized to do so, and each Authorized Representative of such Party has been duly and properly authorized to take actions specified for such person in the applicable Schedule 1. Except as expressly provided in Section 7 above, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than Escrow Agent and the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of the Escrow Deposit or this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 2
Schedule of Fees for Escrow Agent Services
Account Acceptance Fee $4,000 (the Account Acceptance Fee)
Encompassing review, negotiation and execution of governing documentation, opening of the account, and completion of all due diligence documentation. Payable pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement.
Annual Administration Fee Waived
The Administration Fee covers our usual and customary ministerial duties, including record keeping, distributions, document compliance and such other duties and responsibilities expressly set forth in the governing documents for each transaction. Payable upon closing and annually in advance thereafter, without pro-ration for partial years.
Extraordinary Services and Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates may receive compensation with respect to any investment directed hereunder including without limitation charging any applicable agency fee or trade execution fee in connection with each transaction. Any additional services beyond our standard services as specified above, and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses including attorneys or accountants fees and expenses will be considered extraordinary services for which related costs, transaction charges, and additional fees will be billed at Escrow Agents then standard rate. Escrow Agent may impose, charge, pass-through and modify fees and/or charges for any account established and services provided by Escrow Agent, including but not limited to, transaction, maintenance, balance-deficiency, and service fees, agency or trade execution fees, and other charges, including those levied by any governmental authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of any fees, charges, compensation, indemnification and expenses, including attorneys or accountants fees and expenses, that are in excess of the Account Acceptance Fee shall not exceed $5,000. Pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Party A and Party B shall be severally, and not jointly liable, for fifty (50) percent of any fees, charges, compensation and expenses that are payable to Escrow Agent under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not have any right of set-off against the Escrow Deposit for the payment of any fees, charges, compensation and expenses payable to Escrow Agent under this Agreement.
Fee Disclosure & Assumptions: Please note that the fees quoted are based on a review of the transaction documents provided and an internal due diligence review, and assumes the escrow deposit will not be invested. Escrow Agent reserves the right to revise, modify, change and supplement the fees quoted herein if the assumptions underlying the activity in the account, level of balances, market volatility or other factors change from those used to set the fees described herein.
Payment of the invoice is due upon receipt.
Disclosures and Agreements:
Taxes. The Parties shall duly complete such tax documentation or other procedural formalities necessary for Escrow Agent to complete required tax reporting and for the relevant Party to receive interest or other income without withholding or deduction of tax in any jurisdiction. Should any information supplied in such tax documentation change, the Parties shall promptly notify Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, including without limitation, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.
Representations Relating to Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Rule 15Ba1-1 et seq.) (the Municipal Advisor Rule). Each Party represents and warrants to Escrow Agent that for purposes of the Municipal Advisor Rules, none of the funds (if any) currently invested, or that will be invested in the future, in money market funds, commercial paper or treasury bills under this Agreement constitute or contain (i) proceeds of municipal securities (including investment income therefrom and monies pledged or otherwise legally dedicated to serve as collateral or a source or repayment for such securities) or (ii) municipal escrow investments (as each such term is defined in the Municipal Advisor Rule). Each Party also represents and warrants to Escrow Agent that the person providing this certification has access to the appropriate information or has direct knowledge of the source of the funds to be invested to enable the forgoing representation to be made. Further, each Party acknowledges that Escrow Agent will rely on this representation until notified in writing otherwise.
Know Your Customer. To assist in the prevention of the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, applicable law may require financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for the Parties: when the Parties open an account, Escrow Agent may ask for each Partys name, address, date of birth (for natural persons), and/or other information and documents that will allow Escrow Agent to identify such Party. Escrow Agent may also request and obtain certain information from third party vendors regarding any Party. To fulfill Escrow Agents know your customer responsibilities and in connection with its performance of this Agreement, Escrow Agent may request information
17
and/or documentation from each Party from time to time, including, without limitation, regarding such Partys organization, business and, to the extent applicable, beneficial owner(s) of such Party, including relevant natural or legal persons, and such Party shall procure and furnish the same to Escrow Agent in a timely manner. Any information and/or documentation furnished by any Party is the sole responsibility of such Party and Escrow Agent is entitled to rely on the information and/or documentation without making any verification whatsoever (except for the authentication under the security procedures, as applicable). Each Party represents and warrants that all such information and/or documentation is true, correct and not misleading and shall advise Escrow Agent promptly of any changes and, except as prohibited by applicable law, such Party agrees to provide complete responses to Escrow Agents requests within the timeframes specified. If any Party fails to provide or consent to the provision of any information required by this paragraph, Escrow Agent may suspend or discontinue providing any service hereunder and resign pursuant to this Agreement.
OFAC Disclosure. Escrow Agent is required to act in accordance with the laws and regulations of various jurisdictions relating to the prevention of money laundering and the implementation of sanctions, including but not limited to regulations issued by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. Escrow Agent is not obligated to execute payment orders or effect any other transaction where the beneficiary or other payee is a person or entity with whom Escrow Agent is prohibited from doing business by any law or regulation applicable to Escrow Agent, or in any case where compliance would, in Escrow Agents opinion, conflict with applicable law or banking practice or its own policies and procedures. Where Escrow Agent does not execute a payment order or effect a transaction for such reasons, Escrow Agent may take any action required by any law or regulation applicable to Escrow Agent including, without limitation, freezing or blocking funds. Transaction screening may result in delays in the posting of transactions.
Abandoned Property. Escrow Agent is required to act in accordance with the laws and regulations of various states relating to abandoned property, escheatment or similar law and, accordingly, shall be entitled to remit dormant funds to any state as abandoned property in accordance with such laws and regulations. Without limitation of the foregoing, notwithstanding any instruction to the contrary, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party for any amount disbursed from an account maintained under this Agreement to a governmental entity or public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheatment or similar law.
Information. The Parties authorize Escrow Agent to disclose information with respect to this Agreement and the account(s) established hereunder, the Parties, or any transaction hereunder if such disclosure is: (i) necessary in Escrow Agents opinion, for the purpose of allowing Escrow Agent to perform its duties and to exercise its powers and rights hereunder or for operational or risk management purposes or compliance with legal, tax and regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, FATCA; (ii) to a proposed assignee of the rights of Escrow Agent; (iii) to a branch, affiliate, subsidiary, employee or agent of Escrow Agent or to their auditors, regulators or legal advisers or to any competent court; (iv) to the auditors of any of the Parties; or (v) required by applicable law, regardless of whether the disclosure is made in the country in which each Party resides, in which the Escrow Account is maintained, or in which the transaction is conducted. The Parties agree that such disclosures by Escrow Agent and its affiliates may be transmitted across national boundaries and through networks, including those owned by third parties.
Foreign Exchange. If Escrow Agent accepts a funds transfer instruction under this Agreement for payment in a currency (the Non-Account Currency) other than the currency of the account (the Account Currency), Escrow Agent is authorized to enter into a foreign exchange transaction to sell to the Party or Parties the amount of Non-Account Currency required to complete the funds transfer and debit the account for the purchase price of the Non-Account Currency. If Escrow Agent receives a payment to the account in a Non-Account Currency, Escrow Agent is authorized to purchase the Non-Account Currency from the Party or Parties, and to credit the purchase price to the account in lieu of the Non-Account Currency. The applicable foreign exchange rate and spread for any of the foregoing transactions shall be determined by Escrow Agent in its sole discretion and may differ from foreign exchange rates and spreads at which comparable transactions are entered into with other customers or the range of foreign exchange rates or spreads at which Escrow Agent otherwise enters into foreign exchange transactions on the relevant date. Escrow Agent may generate additional profit or loss in connection with Escrow Agents execution of a foreign exchange transaction or management of its risk related thereto in addition to the applicable spread. Further, (i) Escrow Agent has full discretion to execute such foreign exchange transactions in such manner as Escrow Agent determines in its sole discretion and (ii) Escrow Agent may manage the associated risks of Escrow Agents own position in the market in a manner it deems appropriate without regard to the impact of such activities on the Parties. Any such foreign exchange transaction will be between Escrow Agent and a Party or Parties as principals, and Escrow Agent will not be acting as agent or fiduciary for the Parties.
Acknowledgment of Compensation and Multiple Roles. Escrow Agent is authorized to act under this Agreement notwithstanding that Escrow Agent or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (such subsidiaries and affiliates hereafter individually called an Affiliate and collectively called Affiliates) may (A) receive fees or derive earnings (float) as a result of providing an investment product or account on the books of Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement or for providing services or referrals with respect to investment products, or (B) (i) act in the same transaction in multiple capacities, (ii) engage in other transactions or relationships with the same entities to which Escrow Agent may be providing escrow or other services under this Agreement, (iii) refer clients to an Affiliate for services or (iv) enter into agreements under which referrals of escrow or related transactions are provided to Escrow Agent. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. may earn compensation from any of these activities in addition to the fees charged for services under this Agreement.
FDIC Disclosure. In the event Escrow Agent becomes insolvent or enters into receivership, Escrow Agent may provide to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) account balance information for any account governed by this Agreement, as reflected on Escrow Agents end-of-day ledger balance, and the customer name and tax identification number associated with such accounts for the purposes of determining the appropriate deposit insurance coverage. Funds held in such accounts will be insured by the FDIC under its applicable rules and limits.
18
THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED UNDER APPLICABLE U.S. REGULATIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATION D. WHERE SPECIFIC INVESTMENTS ARE NOTED BELOW, THE DISCLOSURES APPLY ONLY TO THOSE INVESTMENTS AND NOT TO ANY OTHER INVESTMENT.
Demand Deposit Account Disclosure. Escrow Agent is authorized, for regulatory reporting and internal accounting purposes, to divide an escrow demand deposit account maintained in the U.S. in which the Escrow Deposit is held into a non-interest bearing demand deposit internal account and a non-interest bearing savings internal account, and to transfer funds on a daily basis between these internal accounts on Escrow Agents general ledger in accordance with U.S. law at no cost to the Parties. Escrow Agent will record the internal accounts and any transfers between them on Escrow Agents books and records only. The internal accounts and any transfers between them will not affect the Escrow Deposit, any investment or disposition of the Escrow Deposit, use of the escrow demand deposit account or any other activities under this Agreement, except as described herein. Escrow Agent will establish a target balance for the demand deposit internal account, which may change at any time. To the extent funds in the demand deposit internal account exceed the target balance, the excess will be transferred to the savings internal account, unless the maximum number of transfers from the savings internal account for that calendar month or statement cycle has already occurred. If withdrawals from the demand deposit internal account exceeds the available balance in the demand deposit internal account, funds from the savings internal account will be transferred to the demand deposit internal account up to the entire balance of available funds in the savings internal account to cover the shortfall and to replenish any target balance that Escrow Agent has established for the demand deposit internal account. If a sixth transfer is needed during a calendar month or statement cycle, it will be for the entire balance in the savings internal account, and such funds will remain in the demand deposit internal account for the remainder of the calendar month or statement cycle.
Unlawful Internet Gambling. The use of any account to conduct transactions (including, without limitation, the acceptance or receipt of funds through an electronic funds transfer, or by check, draft or similar instrument, or the proceeds of any of the foregoing) that are related, directly or indirectly, to unlawful Internet gambling is strictly prohibited.
Recordings. Each Party and Escrow Agent consent to the other party or parties making and retaining recordings of telephone conversations between any Party or Parties on one hand and Escrow Agent on the other hand in connection with Escrow Agents security procedures.
Use of Electronic Records and Signatures. As used in this Agreement, the terms writing and written include electronic records, and the terms execute, signed and signature include the use of electronic signatures. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the attached Exhibits and Schedules, any electronic signature that is presented as the signature of the purported signer, regardless of the appearance or form of such electronic signature, may be deemed genuine by Escrow Agent in Escrow Agents sole discretion, and such electronic signature shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed, original, wet-inked signature; provided, however, that any such electronic signature must be an actual and not a typed signature. Any electronically signed agreement shall be an electronic record established in the ordinary course of business and any copy shall constitute an original for all purposes. The terms electronic signature and electronic record shall have the meanings ascribed to them in 15 USC § 7006. This Agreement and any instruction or other document furnished hereunder may be transmitted by facsimile or as a PDF file attached to an email.
