The Escrow Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, institute or defend any legal proceedings which relate to the Company Documents and Buyer Documents. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to retain counsel if it becomes involved in any disagreement, dispute or litigation on account of this Agreement or otherwise determines that it is necessary to consult counsel.
 
7

This Amendment and Waiver to that certain Escrow Agreement dated as of the 12th day of September, 2007 between VirtualScopics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the Buyers identified on Schedule A thereto (each a “Buyer” and collectively “Buyers”), and the law firm of Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP (the "Escrow Agent") is made as of the 13th day of September, 2007. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Escrow Agreement.

WHEREAS, Section 3.1(a) of the Escrow Agreement provides that if the Closing as to at least the Minimum Amount has not occurred by September 13, 2007, then within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall return the Buyer’s Purchase Price and Buyer Documents to the Buyer, and shall return the Company Documents to the Company; and

WHEREAS, the undersigned parties to the Escrow Agreement now contemplate that the Closing will take place on September 14, 2007, and wish to amend the Escrow Agreement to extend the date required for the Closing to occur.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. The last sentence of Section 3.1(a) of the Escrow Agreement is hereby amended to provide as follows: “If the Closing as to at least the Minimum Amount has not occurred by September 14, 2007, then within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall return the Buyer’s Purchase Price and Buyer Documents to the Buyer, and shall return the Company Documents to the Company.”

2. The undersigned hereby waives compliance with Section 3.1(a) as in effect prior to this Amendment and Waiver, insofar as it requires that the Escrow Agent return the Buyer’s Purchase Price and Buyer Documents to the Buyer, and return the Company Documents to the Company, if the Closing has not occurred by September 13, 2007.

3. This Amendment and Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission and delivered by facsimile transmission. This Waiver and Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.
