The Escrow Agent In exercising the rights, duties and obligations prescribed or confirmed by this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will act honestly and in good faith and will exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. The Purchaser and the Company jointly and severally covenant and agree from time to time and at all times hereafter well and truly to save, defend and keep harmless and fully indemnify the Escrow Agent, its successors, and assigns, from and against all loss, costs, charges, suits, demands, claims, damages and expenses which the Escrow Agent, its successors or assigns may at any time or times hereafter bear, sustain, suffer or be put unto for or by reason or on account of its acting pursuant to this Agreement or anything in any manner relating thereto or by reason of the Escrow Agent's compliance in good faith with the terms hereof. In case proceedings should hereafter be taken in any court respecting the Subscription Proceeds, the Escrow Agent will not be obliged to defend any such action or submit its rights to the court until it has been indemnified by other good and sufficient security in addition to the indemnity given in Clause 4.2 against its costs of such proceedings. The Escrow Agent will have no responsibility in respect of loss of the Subscription Proceeds except the duty to exercise such care in the safekeeping thereof as it would exercise if the Subscription Proceeds belonged to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may act on the advice of counsel but will not be responsible for acting or failing to act on the advice of counsel. The Escrow Agent will not be bound in any way by any contract between the parties hereto whether or not it has notice thereof or of its terms and conditions and the only duty, liability and responsibility of the Escrow Agent will be to hold the Subscription Proceeds as herein directed and to pay and deliver the same to such persons and other such conditions as are herein set forth. The Escrow Agent will not be required to pass upon the sufficiency of any of the Subscription Proceeds or to ascertain whether or not the person or persons who have executed, signed or otherwise issued or authenticated the said documents have authority to so execute, sign or authorize, issue or authenticate the said documents or any of them, or that they are the same persons named therein or otherwise to pass upon any requirement of such instruments that may be essential of their validity, but it shall be sufficient for all purposes under this Agreement insofar as the Escrow Agent is concerned that the said documents are deposited with it as herein specified by the parties executing this Agreement with the Escrow Agent. In no event will the Escrow Agent be deemed to have assumed any liability or responsibility for the sufficiency, form and manner of making any notice or demand provided for under this Agreement or of the identity of the persons executing the same, but it shall be sufficient if any writing purporting to be such a notice, demand or protest is served upon the Escrow Agent in any manner sufficient to bring it to its attention. In the event that the Subscription Proceeds are attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or if the delivery of such property is stayed or enjoined by any court order or if any court order, judgment or decree is made or entered affecting such property or affecting any act by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, obey and comply with all writs, orders, judgments or decrees so entered or issued, whether with or without jurisdiction, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary. If the Escrow Agent obeys and complies with any such writs, order, judgment or decrees it will not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that such writs, orders, judgments or decrees may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. Except as herein otherwise provided, the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to disregard in its sole discretion any and all notices and warnings which may be given to it by any of the parties hereto or by any other person, firm, association or corporation. It will, however, obey the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, and it is hereby authorized to comply with and obey such orders, judgements or decrees and in case of such compliance, it shall not be liable by reason thereof to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm, association or corporation, even if thereafter any such order, judgment or decree may be reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. If the Escrow Agent receives any written instructions contrary to the instructions contained in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may continue to hold the Subscription Proceeds until the lawful determination of the issue between the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent may resign as Escrow Agent by giving not less then ten (10) days' written notice thereof to each of the Purchaser or the Company. The Purchaser and the Company may terminate the Escrow Agent by giving to the Escrow Agent a notice of termination executed by each of them not less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed date of termination. The resignation or termination of the Escrow Agent will be effective and the Escrow Agent will cease to be bound by this Agreement on the date that is ten (10) days after the date of receipt of the termination notice given hereunder or on such other date as the Escrow Agent, the Purchaser and the Company may agree upon. All indemnities granted to the Escrow Agent will survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or termination of the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent may act upon any written instructions given by the Company and the Purchaser jointly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any dispute arising between the Purchaser and the Company or between any other persons or between any of them with respect to the Subscription Agreement, this Agreement or any matters arising thereto, or with respect to the Subscription Proceeds, the Escrow Agent may in its sole discretion deliver and interplead the Subscription Proceeds into court and such delivery and interpleading will be an effective discharge to the Escrow Agent.

The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to the Issuer or Depositor. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys (and shall be liable only for the careful selection of any such agent or attorney) and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the other parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
