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 Three Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Nine Dollars ($347,299) (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 (a) At the Closing, Acquiror will deposit with the Escrow Agent an amount equal to the sum of (a) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Stakeholders’ Agent Escrow Amount”), plus (b) Fifty Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000) (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount” and collectively with the Stakeholders’ Agent Escrow Amount, the “Escrow Fund”). The Escrow Fund will be governed by the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnity Escrow Amount will be available (i) to indemnify Acquiror pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9, and (ii) to make any payment on behalf of the Former Stakeholders to Acquiror pursuant to Section 2.13. The Stakeholders’ Agent Escrow Amount will be available, without the requirement of any consent or approval by Acquiror, to indemnify and hold the Stakeholders’ Agent harmless against any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense incurred by the Stakeholders’ Agent without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Stakeholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and in no event will any of such liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines, costs or expenses payable to the Stakeholders’ Agent be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Amount.
(b) On the first Business Day following the Initial Claim Termination Date, Acquiror and the Stakeholders’ Agent will be obligated to instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to each Former Stakeholder, in immediately available funds from the Indemnity Escrow Amount of the Escrow Fund, a dollar amount equal to each such Former Stakeholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the difference between (i) the aggregate amount then held in the Indemnity Escrow Amount of the Escrow Fund and (ii) the sum of (A) Twenty Three Million Dollars ($23,000,000) (the “Three Year Escrow Amount”) and (B) a reserve amount equal to the estimate of Damages set forth in the Claims Notices relating to all pending and unresolved Claims. On the first Business Day following the Final Claim Termination Date, Acquiror and the Stakeholders’ Agent will be obligated to instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to each Former Stakeholder, in immediately available funds from the Indemnity Escrow Amount of the Escrow Fund, a dollar amount equal to each such Former Stakeholders’ Pro Rata Portion of the difference between (i) the aggregate amount then held in the Indemnity Escrow Amount of the Escrow Fund and (ii) a reserve amount equal to the estimate of Damages set forth in the Claims Notices relating to all pending and unresolved Claims. Any reserve amounts held in the Indemnity Escrow Amount of the Escrow Fund following the Final Claim Termination Date that are not expended in resolving a Claim shall be disbursed to the Former Stakeholders upon final resolution of the Claim to which it relates or if a reasonable person familiar with such matters would determine that such claim has been fully and finally abandoned or waived by the Third Party asserting the claim. Following the resolution of all Claims, the Stakeholders’ Agent Amount shall be disbursed to the Former Stakeholders as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
Unused Escrow Funds In the event that a Closing does not occur when required under the Contract, or in the event that the Closing does occur but Escrow Funds remain in an account with Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall notify OPWC in writing promptly thereafter. After receipt of such notice, OPWC shall deliver written instructions to Escrow Agent directing Escrow Agent’s release of the Escrow Funds. Immediately upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of such notice from OPWC, Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Funds, or balance thereof, in accordance with OPWC’s written instructions.
