(b) The Escrow Agent shall accept the Initial Deposit and shall hold such funds, all investments thereof, any Distributions (as hereinafter defined) and the proceeds of the foregoing in the account referred to in Schedule I attached hereto maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the Escrow Agent, acting in such capacity, (such account, the “Escrow Account”) for disbursement in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3, and otherwise to be administered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Account shall be held as a segregated account, maintained by the Escrow Agent as a “special deposit” account, and shall be properly identified by the Escrow Agent on its books and records as an escrow account held for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and subject to its terms.

(e) The Escrow Agent hereby agrees that all property delivered to the Escrow Agent for crediting to the Escrow Account will be promptly credited to the Escrow Account by the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution represents and warrants that it has not entered into, and agrees that it will not enter into, any control agreement or any other agreement relating to the Escrow Account or the other Escrow Property with any other third party without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Trustee. The parties agree that all financial assets (except cash) credited to the Escrow Account will be registered in the name of the Financial Institution or indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Escrow Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to the order of the Issuer or specially indorsed to the Issuer unless such financial asset has been further indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank.

(a) If the Escrow Agent shall have received a certificate from the Issuer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “Anticipated Consummation Release Certificate”), executed by one of the authorized signatories of the Issuer listed on Exhibit E-1 to this Agreement, then the Escrow Agent shall liquidate, release and deliver all Escrow Property in accordance with the instructions and on the date requested therein (or, if such requested date is not a Business Day, on the following Business Day), which requested disbursement date shall be no later than December 30, 2013 (the “Redemption Deadline”) and no earlier than (i) the day on which the Escrow Agent receives the Anticipated Consummation Release Certificate if the Escrow Agent receives the Anticipated Consummation Release Certificate before 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or (ii) on the next Business Day if the Escrow Agent receives the Anticipated Consummation Release Certificate after 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day; provided that upon the request of the Issuer delivered simultaneously with the Anticipated Consummation Release Certificate the Escrow Agent will not liquidate the Escrow Property but instead distribute the Escrow Property to the Issuer in-kind. The Escrow Agent shall confirm in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee that the Escrow Property has been transferred by it to the Issuer in accordance with the Anticipated Consummation Release Certificate.

(c) If there is any Escrow Property in the Escrow Account on or after December 31, 2013 then, notwithstanding any objection, claim, demand or other notice from the Issuer (each of which are hereby waived by the Issuer) or any other person to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall liquidate and transfer to the Paying Agent all Escrow Property on January 3, 2014. The Escrow Agent shall confirm in writing to the Trustee and the Issuer that the Escrow Property has been released by it in accordance with this Section 2.3(c).

(b) Prior to closing, the Issuer shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request. The Issuer understands that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Property.
