The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.
Appointment of the Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent is hereby designated and appointed to act as escrow agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such designation and appointment.
Resignation of the Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent is permitted to resign and be discharged from the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Escrow Agreement at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Parent and the Securityholder Representative specifying a date when such resignation will take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation, Parent and the Securityholder Representative jointly shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement prior to the effective date of such resignation. If Parent and the Securityholder Representative fail to appoint a successor Escrow Agent within such time, the Escrow Agent will be permitted to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Escrow Agent, and Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall, jointly and severally, pay all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) related to such petition. The resigning Escrow Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Fund and shall transfer all of the Escrow Fund to the successor Escrow Agent, after making copies of such records as the resigning Escrow Agent deems advisable and after deduction and payment to the resigning Escrow Agent of all fees and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected in good faith to be incurred by the resigning Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of the resigning Escrow Agent’s duties and the exercise of the resigning Escrow Agent’s rights under this Escrow Agreement. After any resigning Escrow Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Escrow Agreement will inure to such resigning Escrow Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by such resigning Escrow Agent while such resigning Escrow Agent was serving as the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement.
Operation of the Escrow (a) Until such time as the Company has received subscriptions for Shares resulting in gross subscription proceeds equal to the Minimum Amount (as defined below) and the funds in the Escrow Account are disbursed from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, Subscribers will be instructed to make checks, drafts, wires, Automated Clearing House (ACH) or money orders (“Instruments of Payment”) for subscriptions payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Apollo Realty Income Solutions, Inc.” Completed subscription agreements and Instruments of Payment for the purchase price shall be remitted to the address designated for the receipt of such agreements and Instruments of Payment. Any Instruments of Payment made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent as described above shall be returned to the Dealer Manager or the Selected Dealer who submitted such Instrument of Payment. When the Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials (as defined below) are initially received by the Selected Dealer, by the end of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, the Selected Dealer will send to the Escrow Agent such Instruments of Payment along with each Subscriber’s name, address, executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, number and class of Shares purchased and purchase price remitted and any other subscription documentation (the “Subscription Materials”). When the Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the Selected Dealer shall transmit the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, and then the Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials, forward the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Escrow Agent. To the extent that subscription agreements and payments are remitted by the Transfer Agent, the Company, the Dealer Manager or a Selected Dealer, the Transfer Agent, the Company, the Dealer Manager or a Selected Dealer, as applicable, will furnish to the Escrow Agent a list detailing information regarding such subscriptions as set forth in Exhibit A (List of Subscribers). The Transfer Agent will promptly deliver all monies received in good order from Subscribers (or from the Company, the Dealer Manager or the Selected Dealers transmitting monies and subscriptions from Subscribers) for the payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. Deposits shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with this Section 2. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of its affiliates. If any of the Instruments of Payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Transfer Agent and the Company in writing via mail, email or facsimile of such nonpayment, and the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account, as applicable, in the amount of such returned payment as well as any interest earned on the amount of such payment and the Transfer Agent shall delete the appropriate account from the records maintained by the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent will maintain a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among other things, the following information:
Termination of the Escrow Agreement This Agreement, except for Sections 7 and 11 hereof, which shall continue in effect, shall terminate upon written notice from the Company to the Escrow Agent. Unless otherwise provided, final termination of this Agreement shall occur on the date that all funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed either (a) to the Company or to subscribers and the Company has informed the Escrow Agent in writing to close the Escrow Account or (b) to a successor escrow agent upon written instructions from the Company.
Duties of the Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is not a party to, or bound by, any other agreement among the other parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and the Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined solely by reference to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person, other than as provided herein. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to anyone by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document.
Disbursement of the Escrow Shares 3.1 The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares during the period (the “Escrow Period”) commencing on the date hereof and (i) for 50% of the Escrow Shares, ending on the earlier of (x) six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (as described in the Registration Statement, hereinafter a “Business Combination”) and (y) the date on which the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) for the remaining 50% of the Escrow Shares, ending six months after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company shall promptly provide notice of the consummation of a Business Combination to the Escrow Agent. Upon completion of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such amount of each Initial Shareholder’s Escrow Shares (and any applicable share power) to such Initial Shareholder; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated at any time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates representing the Escrow Shares; provided further, however, that if, within six months after the Company consummates an initial Business Combination, the Company (or the surviving entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders of such entity having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of a notice executed by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or other authorized officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent, certifying that such transaction is then being consummated or such conditions have been achieved, as applicable, release the Escrow Shares to the Initial Shareholders. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement or destruction of the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Section 3.1.
Resignation and Termination of the Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice of such resignation to Underwriter and the Company. Upon providing such notice, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder except to hold as depositary the Escrow Funds that it receives until the end of such 30-day period. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, other than receiving and depositing Investors checks and wire transfers in accordance with this Agreement, until the Company has designated a banking corporation, trust company, attorney or other person as successor. Upon receipt of such written designation signed by Underwriter and the Company, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Escrow Funds to such successor and shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder. If such instructions are not received within 30 days following the effective date of such resignation, then the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Funds held by it pursuant to this Agreement with a clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction pending the appointment of a successor. In either case provided for in this Section, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all liability thereafter arising with respect to the Escrow Funds.
Liability of the Escrow Agent The duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder will be limited to the observance of the express provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will not make any payment or disbursement from or out of the Escrow Account except as provided by this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and act upon any instrument received by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement which it reasonably believes to be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent agrees to use the same degree of care and skill as is customary for an escrow agent in similar circumstances. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under the terms hereof in the absence of breach of its obligations hereunder or gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part. In receiving the amounts deposited into the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent acts only as a depository for the Purchaser and the Seller and assumes no responsibility except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. No withdrawals shall be permitted from the Escrow Account except as provided herein or as required by law or court order. All of the terms and conditions in connection with the Escrow Agent's duties and responsibilities, and the rights of the Purchaser and the Seller or anyone else, with respect to the Escrow Account, are contained solely in this Agreement and in any signature card required by the Escrow Agent pertaining to the Escrow Account, and the Escrow Agent is not expected or required to be familiar with the provisions of any other agreement, and shall not be charged with any responsibility or liability in connection with the observance of the provisions of any such other agreement. The Escrow Agent may act or refrain from acting in respect of any matter referred to herein in full reliance upon and by and with the advice of counsel which may be selected by it, and shall be fully protected in so acting or in refraining from acting upon the advice of such counsel. Except as herein expressly provided, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability or expense in the performance of any of its duties hereunder. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to comply with and obey all orders, judgements, decrees or writs entered or issued by any court, and in the event the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment, decree or writ of any court, in whole or in part, it shall not be liable to any of the Parties hereto, nor to any other person or entity, by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that it shall be determined that any such order, judgment, decree or writ be entered without jurisdiction or be invalid for any reason or be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled or vacated. Should any controversy arise between the Purchaser and the Seller or between the Seller, the Purchaser and any other person or entity with respect to this Agreement, or with respect to the ownership of or the right to receive any sums from the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to institute a xxxx of interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the Parties. The Purchaser and the Seller agree that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as an escrow agent hereunder and not as a trustee, and that the Escrow Agent has no fiduciary duties, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.
TERMS OF THE ESCROW 1.1 The parties hereby agree to establish an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent whereby the Escrow Agent shall hold the collected funds deposited into the Escrow Account (the “Escrow Funds”).
