Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent’s duties pursuant to this Agreement are purely ministerial in nature, and the Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever except for its willful misconduct or gross negligence, so long as the Escrow Agent is acting in good faith. The Parties hereby release the Escrow Agent from any liability for any error of judgment or for any act done or omitted to be done by the Escrow Agent in the good faith performance of its duties hereunder and do each hereby indemnify the Escrow Agent against, and shall hold, save, and defend the Escrow Agent harmless from, any costs, liabilities, and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in serving as Escrow Agent hereunder and in faithfully discharging its duties and obligations hereunder. The Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. If there is any dispute as to whether the Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money or as to whom the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is to be delivered, the Escrow Agent may refuse to make any delivery and may continue to hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money until receipt by the Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by Seller and Buyer, directing the disposition of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, or, in the absence of such written authorization, the Escrow Agent may hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money until a final determination of the rights of the Parties in an appropriate judicial proceeding. If such written authorization is not given, or a proceeding for such determination is not begun, within thirty (30) days after notice to the Escrow Agent of such dispute, the Escrow Agent may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in a court of competent jurisdiction pending such determination. The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, by the Party determined not to be entitled to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. Upon making delivery of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in any of the manners herein provided, the Escrow Agent shall have no further liability or obligation hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall execute the Escrow Receipt attached hereto in order to confirm that it has received the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money and is holding the same on deposit in accordance with the provisions hereof.
