Escrow Deposit Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Holder will deliver [the sum of ____________________ Dollars ($_____________) in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds] [and] [[ ] Class A Trust Certificates] [and] [[ ] Class B Trust Certificates] in accordance with Section 14 of the Series Supplement] (the "Escrow Deposit"), to Escrow Agent to be held by Escrow Agent in escrow on the terms and conditions hereinafter provided. Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Deposit. Any cash amounts in the Escrow Deposit may be increased or decreased in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02(i)(vi) of the Warrant Agreement and the terms of this agreement will apply with equal force and effect to any such increased or decreased cash amounts in the Escrow Deposit.
Escrowed Shares a. With respect to the Escrowed Shares, upon an event of default as set forth in the Pledge Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall send written notice to the Transfer Agent ("Escrow Notice") to transfer such number of Escrow Shares as set forth in the Escrow Notice to the Buyers. Upon receipt of an Escrow Notice, the Transfer Agent shall promptly transfer such number of Escrow Shares to the Buyers as shall be set forth in the Escrow Notice delivered to the Transfer Agent by the Escrow Agent. Further, the Transfer Agent shall promptly transfer such shares from the Buyers to any subsequent transferee promptly upon receipt of written notice from the Buyers or their counsel. If the Escrow Shares are not registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, then the certificates for the Escrow Shares shall bear the legend set forth in Section 1b.
Escrow Amount At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller shall deposit Ninety Thousand Two Hundred Forty-One Dollars ($90,241) (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated account as security for Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 15 hereof. All interest accruing on the Escrow Amount shall be for the benefit of Seller. In the event Buyer makes a written claim or demand for indemnification under Section 15 hereof (an “Indemnification Claim”), and Seller does not dispute such Indemnification Claim, or is determined to be liable for and in respect of such Indemnification Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Escrow Agent promptly thereafter shall pay such Indemnification Claim in full to Buyer, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement. On the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.06 hereof), fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Amount then remaining in escrow under the Escrow Agreement and not then subject to an outstanding Indemnification Claim shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Seller. The Escrow Agreement shall expire upon the termination of the Survival Period (as defined in Section 15.01 hereof), and immediately thereafter the Escrow Agent shall pay the portion, if any, of the then remaining Escrow Amount not in dispute to Seller; provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, Buyer shall have made an Indemnification Claim or commenced litigation or any other proceeding on account of any such claim, the term of the Escrow Agreement shall be extended, and the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in escrow the portion of the then Escrow Amount in dispute, in each case until the final resolution of such Indemnification Claim or litigation or proceeding relating thereto, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement.
Escrow Fund In addition to the initial deposits with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums made by Borrower to Lender on the date hereof to be held by Lender in escrow, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each calendar month (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the "Escrow Fund"). Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Escrow Fund and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying the Escrow Fund to the payments of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws (defined in Section 3.11), no earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) PETsMART or an Acceptable Replacement Tenant is not in default under the terms of the PETsMART Lease or an Acceptable Replacement Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods set forth therein, and (iii) PETsMART or an Acceptable Replacement Tenant is paying the Taxes pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4 hereof and Insurance Premiums in accordance with the terms of the last sentence of Section 3.3(b) hereof, directly pursuant to the terms hereof, and such Taxes are current, then Borrower shall not be required to make monthly payments into the Escrow Fund.
Holdback Amount Escrow Agent shall hold back in escrow from Seller’s net proceeds at Closing an amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”). The sole purpose for which the Holdback Amount may be applied is as to any amounts which Seller owes to Purchaser for post-Closing claims to the extent allowed and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, the Holdback Amount is intended as a source of payment, but not as a limitation of damages that may be claimed by Purchaser. Except as to any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser which amounts are specifically reflected in a lawsuit commenced against Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for damages based upon the post-Closing claim, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Prior to institution of any such lawsuit, Purchaser shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, specifying the exact amount and nature of any such claim asserted by Purchaser against the Holdback Amount. Any lawsuit commenced against Seller must specifically set forth the exact amount which is claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser, and absent such specific amount being identified, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the entire Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve month (12) month period post-Closing. Any portion of the Holdback Amount which Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.10 after the passage of the twelve (12) month period, shall continue to be held in escrow pending final and unappealable dismissal or judgment in the action or actions timely commenced by Purchaser or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser obtains a final and unappealable judgment in any such action, Escrow Agent is directed to make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount retained in escrow in the amount of the judgment plus any interest, attorney’s fees, and costs to which it is entitled thereon upon presentation to Escrow Agent and Seller of the court order or other evidence of such final and unappealable judgment. Once all such actions are either finally or unappealably dismissed or a final and unappealable judgment is entered therein or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and any amount of damages due to Purchaser is paid, whether from the Holdback Amount or otherwise, Escrow Agent is directed to disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount. The parties shall execute any additional escrow instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing reasonably required by Escrow Agent or either party relating to the Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent’s fees and costs for holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.
Escrow Holder Seller and Buyer covenant and agree that in performing any of its duties under this Agreement, Title Company shall not be liable for any loss, costs or damage which it may incur as a result of serving as Escrow Holder hereunder, except for any loss, costs or damage arising out of its willful default or gross negligence. Accordingly, Title Company shall not incur any liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith upon advice of its counsel given with respect to any questions relating to its duties and responsibilities, or (ii) to any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any document, including any written notice of instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Title Company shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.
Escrowed Funds Upon receipt of the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Funds in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Until such time as the Escrowed Funds shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent as provided herein, the Escrowed Funds shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account or as may otherwise be directed by the Corporation in writing. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to sell or redeem any investment of the Escrowed Funds as necessary to make any distributions required under this Agreement and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such sale or redemption. Interest, if any, resulting from any investment of the Escrowed Funds shall be retained by the Escrow Agent, and shall be distributed according to this Agreement.
Indemnity Escrow At Closing, cash constituting a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Indemnity Escrow”) shall be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account as security for Sellers’ indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement. The terms and conditions for the release or forfeiture of the Indemnity Escrow are more particularly set forth in that certain Indemnity Escrow Agreement which shall be executed and delivered by Purchaser, Sellers and the escrow agent at Closing substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1(b) (the “Indemnity Escrow Agreement”); provided that within one (1) Business Day following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Sellers any amounts remaining in the Indemnity Escrow account, less any amounts that are the subject of a Claim Notice (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date which has not been resolved (“Disputed Amounts”) pursuant to the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement, such resolution to be evidenced by a written instrument signed by Sellers and Purchaser and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Within one (1) Business Day after the resolution of a dispute as to any Disputed Amounts pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release (A) to Purchaser the amount, if any, payable to the Purchaser in connection with such resolved Disputed Amounts and (B) to Sellers, the remaining balance of the Indemnity Escrow plus all accrued interest thereon, minus any remaining Disputed Amounts.
Escrow Shares If any Escrow Shares are deliverable to the Company in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, (i) each Make Good Pledgor covenants and agrees to execute all such instruments of transfer (including stock powers and assignment documents) as are customarily executed to evidence and consummate the transfer of the Escrow Shares from Make Good Pledgor to the Company, to the extent not done so in accordance with Section 2, and (ii) following its receipt of the documents referenced in Section 6(i), the Company and Escrow Agent covenant and agree to cooperate with the Transfer Agent so that the Transfer Agent promptly transfers such Escrow Shares to the Company. Until such time as (if at all) the Escrow Shares are required to be delivered in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, any dividends payable in respect of the Escrow Shares and all voting rights applicable to the Escrow Shares shall be retained by each Make Good Pledgor. Should the Escrow Agent receive dividends or voting materials, such items shall not be held by the Escrow Agent, but shall be passed immediately on to the Make Good Pledgor and shall not be invested or held for any time longer than is needed to effectively re-route such items to the Make Good Pledgor. If the Escrow Agent receives a communication requiring the conversion of the Escrow Shares to cash or the exchange of the Escrow Shares for that of an acquiring company, the Escrow Agent shall solicit and follow the written instructions of each Make Good Pledgor; provided that the cash or exchanged shares are instructed to be redeposited into the Escrow Account. Each Make Good Pledgor shall be responsible for all taxes resulting from any such conversion or exchange.
Escrow Funds To provide for the timely payment of any post-closing claims by Buyer against Seller hereunder, at Closing, Seller shall deposit an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Escrow Funds”) which shall be withheld from the Purchase Price payable to Seller and shall be deposited for a period of one (1) year in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer and Seller (the “Post-Closing Agreement”), which escrow and Post-Closing Agreement shall be established and entered into at Closing and shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligations under this Contract. All earnings accrue to Seller and Seller may direct investment thereof. If no claims have been asserted by Buyer against Seller, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such 1-year period, the Escrow Funds deposited by Seller shall be released to Seller.
