ARTICLE 1 ESCROW DEPOSIT
Section 1.1 Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Parties hereby designate and appoint Escrow Agent as their agent to receive, hold in escrow, and disburse the Escrow Shares in accordance with the term of this Escrow Agreement, and Escrow Agent accepts such appointment.
Section 1.2 Receipt and Deposit of the Escrow Shares; Commencement of Duties; Dividends and Distributions; Certain Rights of Seller.
(a) Receipt and Deposit of the Escrow Shares and Blank Stock Powers; Commencement of Duties.
(i) Subject to execution hereof and pursuant to and on the dates set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, Parent shall deliver to Escrow Agent stock certificates (the “Certificates”) representing the Escrow Shares and fully executed and notarized blank stock powers (the “Stock Powers”), and Escrow Agent shall promptly acknowledge receipt of the Certificates and the Stock Powers. Upon receipt of the Escrow Shares and the Stock Powers by the Escrow Agent, the duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent and the Parties to this Escow Agreement shall commence.
(ii) The Escrow Shares shall be delivered by Parent to Escrow Agent free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (except as may be created by this Escrow Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, or otherwise provided for by any applicable federal or state securities laws). Until the Termination Date, Parent will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any part of the Escrow Shares, except as permitted by and pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
(b) Dividends and Distributions. All dividends and distributions declared by Parent on the Escrow Shares and payable to Parent’s shareholders of record (“Dividends and Distributions”) at any time after the date hereof until the Termination Date (as defined below), shall be deposited with Escrow Agent. If Parent declares a stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or any other change in its capital structure affecting the Initial Consideration Shares of Final Consideration Shares, fifteen (15%) percent of the certificates or other instruments relating thereto shall be immediately deposited by Parent with Escrow Agent as additional Escrow Shares to be held and distributed by Escrow Agent in accordance with this Escrow Agreement.

Section 1.3 Indemnified Losses and Dispute Resolution.
(a) A Buyer Indemnified Party may make a claim based on the indemnification obligations of Article 6 of the Asset Purchase Agreement (a “Claim”), specifying the amount claimed (a “Claimed Amount”) at any time prior to the second anniversary of the date of the issuance of the Final Consideration Shares (the “Termination Date”), by written notice (“Claims Notice”), in form and substance as set forth in Annex I, and attached hereto, to the Seller and to the Escrow Agent together with evidence of the Claim. If Seller does not provide Buyer Indemnified Party and the Escrow Agent with written notice (“Response Notice”), in form and substance as set forth in Annex II and attached hereto, of denial of liability or dispute of the Claimed Amount or evidence of payment of the Claim within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claims Notice, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the number of Escrow Shares in the Claimed Amount (based on the value of the Escrow Shares determined pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof) as if the Escrow Agent had received a Conceded Amount Notice (defined below) for the full Claimed Amount pursuant to Section 1.3(b) hereof on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Escrow Agent received such certain Claims Notice from Parent regarding the Claimed Amount (a “Deemed Concession”).
(b) If Seller has denied liability for, or otherwise disputes the Claimed Amount, in whole or in part, Seller and Parent, on behalf of the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party, shall attempt to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days unless Seller provides evidence of settlement of the Claim and then Parent shall no longer have any right to the Claimed Amount. If the Seller and Parent resolve such dispute and amounts are owed to the Buyer Indemnified Party, they shall deliver to Escrow Agent a written notice signed by each of Seller and Parent (which shall be binding on all the Parties) (the “Conceded Amount Notice”) in form and substance as set forth in Annex III and attached hereto. Such Conceded Amount Notice shall instruct Escrow Agent to deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party the amount, if any, of Escrow Shares agreed to by both the Seller and Parent (which shall be binding on all the Parties) in settlement of such dispute (the “Conceded Amount”). If the Seller and Parent cannot resolve such dispute, the Parties shall attempt to use mutually agreeable third-party methods such as mediation to resolve the dispute in order to obtain a Final Decision (defined below).
(c) Escrow Agent promptly shall deliver the applicable portion of the Escrow Shares and Stock Powers specific below, no later than the fifth (5th) business day following the determination of a Payment Event (as such term is defined below), to the Buyer Indemnified Party from the Escrow Shares: (i) following any concession of liability by Seller, in whole or in part, the Conceded Amount as set forth in the Conceded Amount Notice; (ii) following any Deemed Concession of liability by Seller, the Claimed Amount; or (iii) following receipt by Escrow Agent of any final decision by an arbitrator, mediator or judge and the expiration of any time to appeal or seek to vacate any amount, as the case may be (a “Final Decision”), the amount awarded in the Final Decision (the “Ordered Amount”) to Buyer Indemnified Party (collectively, clauses (i) (ii) and (iii) hereof, the “Payment Events”). Upon the occurrence of a Payment Event, in the event that Escrow Agent must deliver a portion of the Escrow Shares to the Buyer Indemnified Party (with the number of Escrow Shares calculated on the basis of the price set forth in Section 1.5 of this Escrow Agreement) from the Escrow Shares and the applicable Stock Powers, Escrow Agent shall return to Parent the Certificates then held by Escrow Agent (the “Primary Certificates”), and Parent shall deliver the Primary Certificates to _________________ the transfer agent of Parent (the “Transfer Agent”), with a letter of instruction and any other document required by the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, from Parent directing the Transfer Agent to: (i) cancel the Primary Certificates; (ii) if elected by Parent, issue a new stock certificate registered to Parent representing the number of Escrow Shares of the Conceded Amount or Ordered Amount, as applicable, relating to the Payment Event, which shall be delivered by the Transfer Agent to Parent; and (iii) issue new stock certificates registered to Seller representing the Escrow Shares less the shares of the Conceded Amount, or Ordered Amount, as applicable, relating to such Payment Event, which shall be delivered by the Transfer Agent to Escrow Agent to be held in escrow or released in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 2.3 to the Asset Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms set forth herein. At Parent’s or the Escrow Agent’s written request, Seller shall deliver with three (3) business days of such request additional Stock Powers to the Escrow Agent with respect to any remaining Escrow Shares.
(d) For each Claim of a Claimed Amount made prior to the Termination Date for which (i) a Buyer Indemnified Party has provided the Escrow Agent and Seller with written evidence of the Claim and (ii) Seller has not provided evidence of the settlement of the Claimed Amount on the Termination Date, the amount of Escrow Shares equal to the maximum amount of such Claims (with the number of Escrow Shares calculated on the basis of the price set forth in Section 1.5 of this Escrow Agreement) shall continue to be held in escrow (a “Maximum Claimed Amount”). On the thirtieth (30) day from the Termination Date, the balance of the Escrow Shares in escrow less the aggregate of all Maximum Claimed Amounts not otherwise resolved under the terms of this Escrow Agreement shall be released and delivered in accordance with Schedule 2.3 to the Asset Purchase Agreement and all stop-transfer instructions thereon shall be terminated.
Section 1.4 Disbursements.
(a) Upon the earlier of termination of this Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof or written notice from Parent, Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow, any portion of the Escrow Shares then remaining less the aggregate Maximum Claimed Amounts for all then outstanding claims (“Outstanding Claims”) pursuant Section 1.3 of this Escrow Agreement asserted prior to the Termination Date.
(b) Upon receipt of a Conceded Amount Notice with respect to a particular Outstanding Claim, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party the Conceded Amount in accordance with Section 1.3(c) herein.
(c) Upon receipt of a Final Decision with respect to a particular Outstanding Claim, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party, or as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Ordered Amount, if any, in accordance with Section 1.3(d) herein. Any court or arbitrator order shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel for the presenting party that such order is final and non-appealable.
(d) In the event that the Parties jointly instruct Escrow Agent to disburse the Escrow Shares to any Party, Escrow Agent shall comply with such instructions, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(e) If Parent sells any part of the Escrow Shares as permitted by Section 6.9 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, prior to the termination of this Escrow Agreement, the proceeds shall be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall use such proceeds to make disbursements pursuant to this Escrow Agreement in lieu of Escrow Shares.
Section 1.5 Value of Escrow Shares. For purposes of this Escrow Agreement, the value of each Escrow Share shall be equal to the weighted average price per share of the Escrow Shares calculated pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(i) of the Asset Purchase Agreement at the time of issuance to the Escrow Agent.
Section 1.6 Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate upon the disbursement of all Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 1.3 or Section 1.4 hereof, at which time this Escrow Agreement shall be of no further force and effect except that the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof shall survive termination.
