(D)The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken hereunder except in the case of its gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
(E)The Escrow Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Escrow Fund or income thereon, nor to preserve any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody of any such funds actually in its possession.
(F)As compensation for its services to be rendered under this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed upon request for all expenses, disbursements, and advances, including reasonable fees of outside counsel, if any, incurred or made by it in connection with the preparation of this Escrow Agreement and the carrying out of its duties under this Escrow Agreement. All such expenses shall be the joint and several responsibility of the Borough and the Buyer.
(G)The Buyer and the Borough shall reimburse and indemnify the Escrow Agent for and hold it harmless against any loss, liability, or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees incurred except in connection with gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent arising out of, or in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties and obligations under this Escrow Agreement.

If the Escrow Agent is to resign or be removed, a successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed by the Buyer by written instrument executed by the Borough’s Representative and the Buyer. Such instrument shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent and to such successor Escrow Agent and, thereupon, the resignation or removal of the predecessor Escrow Agent shall become effective and such successor Escrow Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all right, title, and interest to all cash and property held hereunder of such predecessor Escrow Agent. Such predecessor Escrow Agent shall, on the written request of the Borough's Representative, the Buyer, or the successor Escrow Agent, execute and deliver to such successor Escrow Agent all the right, title, and interest hereunder in and to the Escrow Fund of such predecessor Escrow Agent and all other rights hereunder of such predecessor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent is appointed within twenty (20) Business Days of a notice of resignation by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility shall thereafter be to hold the Escrow Fund until the earlier of its receipt of designation of a successor Escrow Agent, a joint written instruction by the Borough’s Representative and the Buyer, or termination of this Escrow Agreement in accordance with its terms.
