1. Appointment of the Escrow Agent. Parent and Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as escrow

4. Ownership of Escrow Shares; Voting Rights. Pending distribution of Indemnity Escrow Shares in accordance with this Escrow Agreement, each Indemnifying Stockholder shall be the record and legal owner of the respective number of Indemnity Escrow Shares set forth as to that Indemnifying Stockholder on Schedule A attached to this Escrow Agreement, and shall have all voting rights with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Shares.

5. Distributions in Respect of Indemnity Escrow Shares.

a. Any additional certificates, rights, securities or interests delivered in respect of the Indemnity Escrow Shares while held under this Escrow Agreement as a result of any stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, merger, consolidation or reorganization by Parent shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent (and endorsed for transfer, if applicable) and shall constitute part of the Escrow Assets.

b. Any cash dividends paid on account of Indemnity Escrow Shares or other Escrow Assets while held under this Escrow Agreement shall be paid by Parent to the Indemnifying Stockholders as stockholders of record.

6. Distribution of Escrow Assets.

a. For purposes of this Escrow Agreement, if no claim for either (i)

adjustment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.4 of the Merger Agreement, or (ii) Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Article VII of the Merger Agreement (each such claim under clause (i) or (ii) being a “Claim”), is made by Parent on or before the twelve (12) month anniversary (the “Release Date”) of the date hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute the Indemnity Escrow Shares, within five days, to the respective Indemnifying Stockholders as specified on Schedule A, together with any other Escrow Assets which were derived therefrom or distributed on account thereof.

b. If on or before the Release Date, Parent asserts a Claim, then Parent may send to the Stockholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) (i) describing in brief the basis for its Claim, and (ii) setting forth a request to release Escrow Assets to it in the amount of the Indemnifiable Losses. If the exact amount of Indemnifiable Losses associated with any Claim has not been fixed, then Parent’s Claim Notice shall specify a reasonable estimate of the Indemnifiable Losses.

c. Following the receipt by the Escrow Agent of any Claim Notice on or prior to the Release Date:

d. If, on or prior to the Release Date, the Escrow Agent has received a Claim Notice or Claim Notices and all of the related Claims have either been accepted (or deemed accepted) by the Stockholders’ Representative or resolved by Final Resolution and the related Indemnity Escrow Shares have been distributed, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Indemnifying Stockholders, within five days after the Release Date, the remaining portion, if any, of the 1,000,000 Indemnity Escrow Shares which would have been released to the Indemnifying Stockholders on the Release Date had no Claims been made. In each case provided in this Section 6d., Indemnity Escrow Shares will be distributed to the Indemnifying Stockholders in proportion to their relative Indemnity Escrow Shares as set forth on Schedule A attached to this Escrow Agreement.

e. “Market Value” means, as to the Indemnity Escrow Shares, the average of the closing sales price per share of Parent Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or other applicable market on which shares of Parent Common Stock are traded or quoted, if not the OTC Bulletin Board) for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding: (i) the date on which the Indemnifying Stockholders notify the Escrow Agent that they have no objection to a Claim in accordance with Section 6c(i), if applicable, (ii) the date on which the ten day period described in Section 6c(ii) expires, if applicable, or (iii) the date on which a Final Resolution is delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 6c(iii), if applicable.

As to any Escrow Assets other than Indemnity Escrow Shares, and as to Indemnity Escrow Shares to the extent not traded or quoted on any market, the Market Value shall be the value determined by a Final Resolution.

f. If Parent is entitled to any distribution of less than all remaining Indemnity Escrow Shares in accordance with this Section 6, then (i) Escrow Agent shall deliver the certificates representing the Indemnity Escrow Shares to Parent and Parent shall be responsible for exchanging the certificates delivered to it and returning to the Escrow Agent certificates evidencing the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Shares that were not required to be delivered to Parent; and (ii) the shares to be surrendered to Parent shall be allocated from among the shares of the Indemnifying Stockholders pro rata based upon their relative number of Indemnity Escrow Shares as set forth on Schedule A attached to this Escrow Agreement.

7. Escrow Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate and cease to be of any further force and effect (except as otherwise provided in Section 8f) when the Escrow Agent shall have disposed of all of the Escrow Assets according to this Escrow Agreement (including the deposit of the Escrow Assets with a court of competent jurisdiction).

8. Responsibility and Liability of the Escrow Agent.

a. Duties Limited. The duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be entirely administrative and not discretionary, and the Escrow Agent does not and shall not have any interest in the Escrow Assets. The Escrow Agent’s duties shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein.

b. Reliance. The Escrow Agent may rely upon, and shall not be liable to the parties for acting or refraining from acting upon, any written notice, instruction, certificate, request, consent or other instrument (“Written Evidence”) furnished to it in connection with its duties as the Escrow Agent and believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine. The Escrow Agent may rely on Written Evidence not only as to the due execution, validity and effectiveness thereof but also as to the truth and accuracy of the information contained therein. The Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any Written Evidence in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so or is otherwise the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent may rely on the contents of any Written Evidence of any court, arbitrator or party without any liability therefor. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine the merits of any claim of either party in performing its duties hereunder.

c. No Liability. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any actions taken by it in good faith. The Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities are that of a custodian of the Escrow Assets. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to any third party as a result of any acts taken or omissions made by the Escrow Agent in the performance in accordance with this Escrow Agreement of its duties hereunder and no person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary with respect to this Escrow Agreement. As to any legal questions arising in connection with the Escrow Agent’s performance of its duties and responsibilities hereunder, the Escrow Agent may consult or obtain opinions from legal counsel selected by it, and the Escrow Agent shall be free from any liability for acting in reliance in good faith on such advice of counsel. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of, or demand with respect to, any waiver, modification, amendment, termination, or rescission of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement unless such notice or demand is received by the Escrow

Agent in writing and has been signed by both Parent and Stockholders’ Representative and, if the Escrow Agent’s duties or responsibilities hereunder are affected, unless the Escrow Agent shall have given its express written consent thereto.

d. Waiver. Parent and Stockholders’ Representative each hereby waives any suit, claim, demand or cause of action of any kind which either may have or may assert against the Escrow Agent arising out of or relating to acceptance or performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, unless such suit, claim, demand or cause of action is based upon a claim of the willful neglect, gross negligence or bad faith of the Escrow Agent.

e. Risk of Investment Not the Escrow Agent’s. Any loss or decline in value of any Escrow Assets is the responsibility of the Indemnifying Stockholders and Parent and not the Escrow Agent.

f. Indemnification. Parent and the Indemnifying Stockholders shall indemnify the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors and employees against all taxes, liabilities, damages, losses, actions, proceedings, costs, claims and demands in respect of any matter or thing performed by the Escrow Agent, its officers, directors or employees pursuant to this Escrow Agreement (with Parent, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Stockholders, on the other hand, being responsible for one-half (1/2) of the indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section), other than taxes, liabilities, damages, losses, actions, proceedings, costs, claims or demands arising from a breach of this Escrow Agreement by the Escrow Agent or negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, its officers, directors and employees. The indemnity contained herein shall survive the termination or expiration of this Escrow Agreement.

g. Resignation or Termination of the Escrow Agent; Appointment of Successor. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder for any reason. Such resignation shall be made by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such resignation to Parent and Stockholders’ Representative, specifying the date on which such resignation shall take effect. Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall also have the right, by mutual agreement, to terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder by giving to it notice of such termination, in a writing signed by both Stockholders’ Representative and Parent, specifying the date on which such termination shall take effect and designating a successor Escrow Agent. In any such event, Parent and Stockholders’ Representative shall, by mutual agreement, approve and designate a successor Escrow Agent to such resigning or terminated Escrow Agent. In the event of the Escrow Agent’s intended resignation, if Parent and Stockholders’ Representative cannot agree to a successor Escrow Agent at least ten days before the effective date of such resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Assets with a court of competent jurisdiction or any commercial bank or trust company selected by it that agrees to be bound by this Escrow Agreement. Any successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent then serving a written instrument accepting the appointment and agreeing to the terms of this Escrow Agreement. Upon receipt thereof from such successor Escrow Agent, all Escrow Assets shall be turned over and delivered to such successor Escrow Agent who shall thereupon be bound by all of the provisions hereof as if an original signature hereto, and the Escrow Agent shall be thereafter released of all further

obligations and liability relating to the Escrow Assets arising after the date of such substitution. No resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor the Escrow Agent in the manner provided above.

h. Escrow Agent as Counsel to Parent. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent has been and will continue to be counsel to Parent and nothing herein shall disqualify Escrow Agent from representing Parent in connection with (i) the making or performance of this Escrow Agreement, (ii) in connection with any disputes arising under or as a result of this Escrow Agreement or (iii) in connection with any other matters, any and all objections to such representation are hereby irrevocably waived.
