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.

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.

F.

             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.
