NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

2.           Escrow.  Concurrently with the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement and in accordance with the terms and provisions of that certain pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), the Affiliate shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a total of __________ shares of Common Stock of the Company, with not less than three (3) stock powers executed in blank, medallion signature guaranteed, or in other form and substance acceptable for transfer. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor shall deliver the Investor Notes.  The Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to solicit the deposit of the Escrow Property to the Escrow.  The foregoing property received by the Escrow Agent, less any property released in accordance with this Escrow Agreement, is collectively referred to herein as the “Escrow Property.”

4.           Distribution of Escrow Property.  The Escrow Agent shall release the relevant Escrow Property upon receipt of notice from the Investor or the Company, as may be applicable of the satisfaction of the terms of the Transaction Documents. Promptly upon delivery by the Investor or Company to the Escrow Agent of notice that an Event of Default (as defined in the Investor Note or the Debenture) has occurred or that the conditions to the release of Investor  Note or Debenture, as may be relevant have been met, the Escrow Agent shall, upon three (3) business days prior written notice to all other parties, release or deliver the Escrow Property to the respective parties in accordance with the instructions set forth in such notice, unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall have enjoined or stayed such release or delivery.

5.           Termination.  Unless the Escrow Agent earlier resigns, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, upon final distribution of all property in the Escrow Property by the Escrow Agent.

6.           Escrow Agent.

(h)           The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving the Affiliate and the Investor thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof.

 (i)            In the event Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or receive instructions, claims or demands which, in its opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action, other than keep safely the Escrow Shares, until it shall be jointly directed otherwise by the parties hereto or by a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction which order or decree is not subject to appeal.

 (j)           The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to institute legal proceedings of any kind and shall not be required to defend any legal proceeding instituted against it or in respect to the Escrow Property.

7.           Fees.  The Company agrees to pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in connection with the preparation execution, delivery, performance, modification and/or termination of this Escrow Agreement.  This Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation of the Escrow Agent.
