A.       The Company proposes to offer for sale to investors, through one or more participating registered broker-dealers up to 250,000, shares of Preferred stock (“Securities”) at a price of $100 per share (the “Proceeds”), as disclosed in its offering circular on Form 1-A (the “Offering Document”) filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

B.       The Placement Agent intends to sell the Securities as the Company’s agent on a “best efforts” “part-or-none” basis in a [public/private] offering (the “Offering”).

 

C.       Subscribers, as defined below, may purchase the Securities in increments of not less than 10 shares in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000, payable in cash pursuant to subscription agreements for the Offering (“Subscription] Agreements”) through twelve (12) months from the time the Qualification Date (defined below) unless terminated sooner by the Company (“Escrow Period”).

 

D.       The Company and the Placement Agent desire to establish an escrow account in which fund(s) received from subscribers will be deposited pending completion of the escrow period. Atlantic Capital Bank agrees to serve as Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

E.       The term “Placement Agent” as used herein shall include the Placement Agent and other sub-placement agents or co-placement agents and/or other selected broker-dealers as part of the selling group. All Placement Agents shall be bound by this Agreement. However, for purposes of communications and directives, the Escrow Agent need only accept those signed by Strategic Capital Investments, LLC.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Establishment of Escrow Account.

 

(a)          On or prior to the date of [the SEC issues a qualification for the sale of the Securities pursuant to the Offering Document (the “Qualification Date”) and the commencement of the Offering, the parties shall establish a non-interest bearing escrow account with the Escrow Agent, which escrow account shall be entitled TerraCycle US Escrow (the “Escrow Account”). All parties agree to maintain the Escrow Account and escrowed funds in a manner that is compliant with SEC Rules 10b-9 and 15c2-4, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”).

 

 

 

 

b)The Placement Agent shall cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent all subscription proceeds received from investors who desire to purchase the securities (the “Subscribers”) to be held in escrow under the terms of this Agreement. The Placement Agent will instruct Subscribers to make checks or wires payable to the order account in the name of the offering from the issuer. Any checks or wires received that are made payable to a party other than the named issuer account shall be returned to the Placement Agent or Subscriber who submitted the check or wire.

 

(b)          On or before the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to the Placement Agent, who will provide to the Escrow Agent a completed Form W-9 or Form W-8, whichever is appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any federal or state tax report or return with respect to any funds held pursuant to this Agreement or any income earned thereon.

 

(c)           The Company shall make a copy of this Agreement available to each Subscriber.

 

2.            Deposits in the Escrow Account.

 

(a)          Until the Contingency is met, the Placement Agent agrees that it shall promptly deliver all monies received from Subscribers for the payment of the Securities to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account by noon of the next business day following the receipt, together with a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among other things, the Subscriber’s name and address, the number of securities purchased, the amount paid thereof, and whether the consideration received was in the form of a check, draft or money order, wire or ACH.

 

(b)          The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for Subscription Proceeds until such proceeds are actually received, clear through normal banking channels and constitute collected funds. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to collect or seek to compel payment of any Subscription Proceeds, except to place such proceeds or instruments representing such proceeds for deposit and payment through customary banking channels.

 

(c)           Any Subscription Agreement may be rejected by the Company in whole or in part. The Placement Agent shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent in writing in the event of any such rejection. Upon the receipt of a payment file from the Placement Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to return funds, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return funds tendered by such Subscriber, without deduction or payment of interest under the terms of Atlantic Capital Bank process and procedures.

 

(d)          In the event of a withdrawal of a Subscription Agreement by a Subscriber, the Placement Agent shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent in writing that a Subscription Agreement has been withdrawn by a Subscriber. Upon the receipt of a payment file from the Placement Agent instructing Escrow Agent to return funds, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return to such Subscriber the Subscription Proceeds tendered therewith, without deduction or payment of interest under the terms of Atlantic Capital Bank process and procedures.

 

(e)          Escrow Agent reserves the right to deny, suspend or terminate participation in the Escrow Account of any Subscriber to the extent the Escrow Agent deems it advisable or necessary to comply with applicable laws or to eliminate practices that are not consistent with securities industry laws, rules, regulations or best practices. The Escrow Agent may at any time reject or return funds to any Subscriber (i) that do not clear background checks (anti-money laundering, USA PATRIOT Act, social security number issues, etc.) to the satisfaction of Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, or, (ii) for which the Escrow Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it would be improper or unlawful for the Escrow Agent to accept or hold the applicable Subscriber’s funds, as the Escrow Agent, due to, among other possible issues, issues with the Subscriber or the source of the Subscriber’s funds. The Escrow Agent shall promptly inform Issuer of any such return or rejection.

 

 

 

 

3.            Escrow Period.

 

The Escrow Period shall begin with the commencement of the Offering and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the following dates:

 

(a)          The date upon which the Escrow Agent confirms that it has received in the Escrow Account gross proceeds of $25,000,000 in deposited funds (the "Maximum Offering Amount") (“Contingency”); or

 

(b)          The expiration of 365 days from the date of commencement of the Offering; or

 

(c)           The date upon which a determination is made by the Company and the Underwriter to terminate the Offering.

 

During the Escrow Period, the Company is aware and understands that it is not entitled to any funds received into escrow and no amounts deposited in the Escrow Account shall become the property of the Company or any other entity, or be subject to the debts of the Company or any other entity.

 

4.            Disbursements from the Escrow Account.

 

(a)          The Company acknowledges that Escrow Agent shall be obligated to disburse Subscription Proceeds only in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(b)          Upon confirmation by the Escrow Agent that the Contingency has occurred, the Escrow Agent shall disburse Subscription Proceeds in its possession to the account of the Company in accordance with the instructions and payment file the Placement Agent provides (the “Initial Disbursement”). The Placement Agent shall notify the Escrow Agent (i) the timing and how to disburse Subscription Proceeds deposited after Initial Disbursement, if applicable, and (ii) upon the final disbursement of Subscription Proceeds, after which this Agreement terminates; provided that in no event will the Escrow Amount be released to the Company until such Escrow Amount is received by the Escrow Agent in collected funds. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "collected funds" shall mean all funds received by the Escrow Agent which have cleared normal banking channels and are in the form of cash.

 

(c)           If the Contingency does not occur and the Placement Agent has not theretofore notified the Escrow Agent in writing of an extension of the Offering, then upon receipt of a payment file from the Placement Agent, the Escrow Agent shall refund to each of the Subscribers the full amount of Subscription Proceeds furnished by each such Subscriber, without deduction, penalty, or expense to the Subscriber, and the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Placement Agent of its distribution of the funds. The purchase money returned to each Subscriber shall be free and clear of any and all claims of the Company or any of its creditors.

 

 

 

 

5.            Investment of Subscription Proceeds; Compensation of Escrow Agent.

 

The Company, the Placement Agent and the Escrow Agent further covenant, warrant and agree that:

 

(a)          The Escrow Agent may invest the Escrow Amount only in such accounts or investments as the Company may specify by written notice, as permitted under SEC Rule 15c2-4. The Company may only specify investment in (1) bank accounts, (2) bank money-market accounts, (3) short time certificates of deposit issued by a bank, or (4) short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the U S Government.

 

(b)          The Placement Agent shall pay the Escrow Agent a fee for its escrow services in amounts based off of the agreed fees and services. If it is necessary for the Escrow Agent to return funds to the Subscribers, the Placement Agent shall pay to the Escrow Agent an additional amount sufficient to reimburse it for its actual cost in disbursing such funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fee, reimbursement for costs and expenses, indemnification for any damages incurred by the Escrow Agent, or any monies whatsoever shall be paid out of or chargeable to the funds on deposit in the Escrow Account.

(d)          The Escrow Agent shall disburse fees to Capital2Market LLC, for all transactional fees incurred through the subscription process from gross subscription proceeds in amounts based on contracted fees and services. These costs include ACH, wire, check and any necessary reports executed for the Company on potential subscribers including AML, OFAC, FinCEN and Suitability reports.

 

6.            Duties of Escrow Agent.

 

(a)          The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no additional duties or obligations shall be implied hereunder. In performing its duties under this Agreement, or upon the claimed failure to perform any of its duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses which may be incurred as a result of the Escrow Agent’s so acting or failing to so act; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability for damages arising from the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(b)          The Escrow Agent shall in no event incur any liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith upon advice of legal counsel, which may be counsel to either party hereto, given with respect to any question relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any instrument delivered to the Escrow Agent and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

 

(c)           As an additional consideration for and as an inducement for the Escrow Agent to serve as escrow agent hereunder, it is understood and agreed that, in the event of any disagreement resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for any money or other property involved in or affected by this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, at the option of the Escrow Agent, to refuse to comply with the demands of any parties so long as such disagreement shall continue. In such event, the Escrow Agent may elect not to make any delivery or other disposition of the disputed Subscription Proceeds or any part of such disputed Subscription Proceeds. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable to such parties or any of them for the failure of the Escrow Agent to comply with the conflicting or adverse demands of such parties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to refrain and refuse to deliver or otherwise dispose of the Subscription Proceed or any part thereof or to otherwise act hereunder, as stated above, unless and until:

Upon such tender, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from all further duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the filing of any such legal proceedings shall not deprive the Escrow Agent of its compensation hereunder earned prior to such filing and discharge of the Escrow Agent of its duties hereunder.

 

(e)          The Placement Agent agrees that in the event any controversy arises under or in connection with this Agreement or the Subscription Proceeds or the Escrow Agent is made a party to or intervenes in any litigation pertaining to this Agreement or the Subscription Proceeds, to pay to the Escrow Agent reasonable compensation for its extraordinary services and to reimburse the Escrow Agent for all costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, associated with such controversy or litigation; provided, however, that such compensation and legal reimbursement shall not apply if the controversy relates to the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(f)            The Escrow Agent may resign at any time from its obligations under this Agreement by providing written notice to the Company and Placement Agent. Such resignation shall be effective on the date set forth in such written notice, which shall be no earlier than ninety (90) days after such written notice has been given. In the event no successor escrow agent has been appointed on or prior to the date such resignation is to become effective, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all assets then held by it hereunder and shall thereupon be relieved of all further duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided however, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to its compensation earned prior thereto. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the appointment of a successor escrow agent hereunder.

 

(g)          The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to take any legal action in connection with this Agreement or its enforcement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any action or legal proceeding which would or might involve the Escrow Agent in any cost, expense, loss or liability unless security and indemnity satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, shall be furnished.
