Release of Escrow Fund (a) On the first Business Day after the date that is six (6) months from the closing of the Merger (the “Termination Date”), the Escrow Agent shall distribute and deliver to each Owner certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the original number of shares placed in such Owner’s account, less that number of shares in such Owner’s account equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares applied in satisfaction of Indemnification Claims made prior to that date and (ii) the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Owner’s account, as provided in the following sentence. If, at such time, there are any Indemnification Claims with respect to which Notices have been received but which have not been resolved pursuant to Section 3 hereof or in respect of which the Escrow Agent has not been notified of, and received a copy of, a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) by a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be (in either case, “Pending Claims”), and which, if resolved or finally determined in favor of Parent, would result in a payment to Parent in excess of the Deductible, the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Pending Claims Reserve that number of shares of Parent Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the dollar amount for which indemnification is sought in such Indemnification Claim in excess of the Deductible to the extent all Established Claims have not exceeded, in the aggregate, the Deductible, allocated pro rata from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner. The Parent Representative and the Holder Representative shall certify to the Escrow Agent the Fair Market Value to be used in calculating the Pending Claims Reserve, and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be retained therefor. Thereafter, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Parent Representative and the Holder Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Parent the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve in respect thereof determined in accordance with paragraph 3(f) above and to deliver to each Owner the remaining shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Pending Claim, all as specified in a Joint Notice. If any Pending Claim is resolved against Parent, the Parent Representative and the Holder Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to pay to each Owner its pro rata portion of the number of shares allocated to such Pending Claim in the Pending Claims Reserve.

If a Determination is received (in the case of a Change Notice), and if such Determination results in no adjustment in any Tax Benefit Payments under this Agreement, and provided that no Reserve Notice has previously been issued and is still outstanding in relation to the same Tax position that was the subject of the Change Notice, then the relevant escrowed funds (along with any net interest earned on such funds, and less the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Holdings or RMCO in administering the escrow) shall be distributed to RIHI.
