Escrow. 2.3.1 Purchaser and Seller agree that $400,000, allocated among the two LLC Purchase Agreements and the Stock Purchase Agreement, of the Cash Consideration shall, on the Closing Date, be deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with The Huntington National Bank, a national banking corporation (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller, for the purpose of securing Seller’s and the Company’s representations and warranties made to the Purchaser in Article III hereof. The Escrow Agent shall maintain the Escrow Account for a period of nine months. During such period, if, as a direct result of a material misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller made to the Purchaser in Article III hereof, Purchaser becomes liable for and pays any monetary damages, awards, or settlements of claims, then the Escrow Agent shall, after satisfaction of the provision of paragraph 2.2.3 hereof, pay from the Escrow Account, to the Purchaser, the amount of any such damages, awards, or settlements (“Escrow Payment”). On the first day of the tenth month following the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Seller the amount then on deposit in the Escrow Account, including any earnings thereon. Any dispute between the parties regarding the validity or amount of any damages, awards, or settlements of claims shall be submitted to a panel of arbitrators, one selected by Purchaser, one selected by Seller, and a third to be selected by the two arbitrators selected by Purchaser and Seller, the findings of a majority of which arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties.
2.3.2 In order for Purchaser to assert its right to an Escrow Payment, Purchaser shall have given Seller a written notice of any third party claim or demand which may result in liability to Purchaser pursuant to paragraph 2.2.2. hereof (“Escrow Notice”) subject to Seller’s right to defend in good faith third party claims as hereinafter provided. If after such Escrow Notice Seller has not within thirty (30) days thereof resolved such claim and payment of such claim is made by Purchaser, such sums paid shall qualify as an Escrow Payment and shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser.
2.3.3 If the Purchaser notifies the Seller of any claim or demand pursuant to paragraph 2.3.2 above, and if such claim or demand relates to a claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Purchaser which is a claim or demand for which t...
