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.
Provisions Concerning the Escrow Agent 10.1. This Escrow Agreement sets forth, exclusively, the duties of the Escrow Agent and no additional duties or obligations shall be inferred herefrom or implied hereby.
Indemnification of the Escrow Agent The Company and the Dealer Manager hereby jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) harmless from and against any and all loss, claim, liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses, which the Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Escrow Agent arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.
Deliveries to the Escrow Agent (a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Holder is delivering the Debentures and the Class B Warrants to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Outstanding Securities.
Resignation of the Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Company. The Company may remove the Escrow Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Escrow Agent. Upon such notice, a successor escrow agent shall be appointed by the Company who shall provide written notice of such to the resigning the Escrow Agent. Such successor escrow agent shall become the escrow agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Company is unable to agree upon a successor escrow agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, deliver the Escrow Property to the Company at the address provided herein or may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief. The costs and expenses (including its attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Company. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Property then held hereunder to the successor Escrow Agent, less the Escrow Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Escrow Agent to be paid from any interest earned in respect of the Escrow Property, or hold any interest earned in respect of the Escrow Property (or any portion thereof), pending distribution, until all such fees, costs and expenses or other obligations are paid. Upon its resignation and delivery of the Escrow Property as set forth in this Section 9, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with the Escrow Property or this Agreement.
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.
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.
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.
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.
