15.Escrow.  

a. Escrow Agent agrees that it shall hold the Earnest Deposit in escrow in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall give notice to Purchaser and Seller of the bank, branch and account number of the account into which the Earnest Deposit is made promptly after making the same. Purchaser shall have the right to direct the form of investment that will be made with the Earnest Deposit while in escrow, except that in no event shall such funds be invested in any time Earnest Deposit or other form of investment that is not immediately available in cash.  All interest earned on the Earnest Deposit while held in escrow shall be for the benefit and account of Purchaser.  Purchaser shall provide such information and execute such forms as may be necessary to properly report such interest income.  All interest earned on the Earnest Deposit shall be deemed part of the Earnest Deposit.

b.At the Closing, the Earnest Deposit shall be paid by Escrow Agent to Seller and applied to the Purchase Price.  If this Agreement terminates pursuant to any provision that expressly requires the Earnest Deposit to be refunded to Purchaser, the Earnest Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser.  If for any reason either Seller or Purchaser makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Earnest Deposit, or if Escrow Agent intends to pay such Earnest Deposit over to either party, Escrow Agent shall give at least five (5) days' written notice to the other party of such demand and of its intention to pay over the Earnest Deposit to the other party on a stated date.  If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection to the proposed payment, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to make such payment. If such other party delivers to Escrow Agent written objection to such payment before the proposed payment date, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Earnest Deposit until otherwise directed by written instructions by all parties or a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.  In the event of such dispute, Escrow Agent may deposit the Earnest Deposit with an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction and, after giving written notice of such action to the parties, Escrow Agent shall have no further obligations with respect to the Earnest Deposit.

c.The duties of Escrow Agent are only as herein specifically provided.  Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any document, instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and signed by either of the other parties or their successors.  Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice of instructions in accordance with the provisions herein, has been duly authorized to do so.  Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, cancellation or rescission of this Agreement unless in writing and signed by the parties to be bound.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error or omission that it may take or fail to take in good faith.  The parties hereto shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, costs or expenses in connection herewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising out of or in connection with Escrow Agent's acceptance of, or the performance of Escrow Agent's duties and obligations under this Agreement, as well as the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability


arising out of or relating to this Agreement, unless the same results from Escrow Agent's negligence or willful breach of its obligations under this Agreement.  Except as set forth in Section 11.5 above, Purchaser and Seller shall share equally in the reimbursement of Escrow Agent except in the event of litigation between the parties, in which event the party determined not to be entitled to the Earnest Deposit shall reimburse Escrow Agent, or if the Earnest Deposit is split between the parties, then such costs of Escrow Agent shall be split between Seller and Purchaser upon the inverse proportionate amount received by each (i.e., if a party is entitled to 90% of the Earnest Deposit, that party pays 10% of Escrow Agent's costs).  The parties hereto each release Escrow Agent from any act done or omitted to be done by Escrow Agent in good faith in the performance of its duties hereunder.  Escrow Agent is acting as stakeholder only with respect to the Earnest Deposit and any other monies delivered to it hereunder.

d.Delivery or disbursement by Escrow Agent of any amount of the Earnest Deposit to be delivered or disbursed by Escrow Agent hereunder, by means of Escrow Agent's check, subject to collection, or by wire transfer, to the party to whom said sum is to be delivered hereunder, shall constitute good and sufficient delivery of said sum for the purposes of this Agreement.
