NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants

Sheet. Any payments received by the Issuer shall be promptly transmitted to the
Trustee.
3.2 The Trustee shall promptly deposit all monies received pursuant to
this Section 3 in a segregated, interest bearing bank account constituting a
"deposit" as that term is in Section defined in (3) (l) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act. Such monies (the "Deposited Proceeds") shall be held in such bank
account until distributed in accordance with this agreement.

address of the prospective purchaser, the number of Securities subscribed for by
such purchaser, and the aggregate dollar amount of such subscription
(collectively, the "Subscription Information")
3.4 The Trustee shall not be required to accept for deposit into the
Trust Account checks which are not accompanied by the name and address of the
Subscriber, the number of Securities subscribed for, and the aggregate dollar
amount of such subscription (collectively, the "Subscription Information"). The
Trustee shall advise the Issuer of any payments which are not accompanied by
such information, giving the Issuer the opportunity to solicit such information;
if such information is not received within five (5) business days of the
payment, such payment shall be returned to the person tendering such payment.

representing payments except during Trustee's regular business hours. Checks,

domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules
thereunder.

representations that:

Act of 1933.
(c) The Issuer mailed a copy of the prospectus which was part of such
post effective amendment (the "Rule 419 Prospectus") to all Subscribers within
five (5) days of the date such post effective amendment became effective (the
"Effective Date"), and a sufficient number of subscribers confirmed their
investment during a stated period not less within 20 nor more than 45 days from
such Effective Date, to permit consummation of the merger or acquisition
agreement(s).

Issuer's representations pursuant to this Section 5.2, which confirmation may be
based on representations of officers of the Issuer with respect to factual
matters.
5.3 In the event that number of Securities constituting the Minimum
Offering have not been sold as of the close of business on the Termination Date,

deduction therefrom except for payments made to the Issuer in accordance with
Section 5.1 above .

of its obligations under this Agreement.

Information pertaining to any Subscriber unless such Subscription Information is
accompanied by a check or money order representing
-4-
full payment for the Securities subscribed for. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Issuer of any discrepancy between the amount received by the Trustee
and the number of Securities subscribed for. Such amount need not be accepted
for deposit in the Trust Account until such discrepancy has been resolved.
6.3 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of any check or money
order which is dishonored, but shall not be obliged to enforce any subscription

within a reasonable time, shall return to the Subscriber any check which is
dishonored, together with the Subscription Information, if any, which
accompanied such check.
6.4 The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy, act in
reliance upon the contents, and assume the genuineness of any notice,
instruction, certificate, signature, instrument or other document which is given
to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement without the necessity of verifying the

inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or identity of any person
purporting to give any such notice or instructions or to execute any such
certificate, instrument or other document.
6.5 In the event that the Trustee shall be uncertain as to its duties
or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions with respect to the Trust
Account or the Deposited Proceeds which are in conflict either with other
instructions received by it or with any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
may deposit the Proceeds (and any other amounts that thereafter become part of
the Deposited Proceeds) with the registry of a court of competent jurisdiction
in a proceeding to which all parties in interest are joined. Upon the deposit by
the Trustee of the Deposited Proceeds with the registry of any court, the
Trustee shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all
liability hereunder.
6.6 The Trustee shall be entitled to consult with counsel of its own
choosing and shall not be liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or
omitted by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

whether or not any security interest exists in the Deposited Proceeds or any
part thereof or to file any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial
Code with respect to the Deposited Proceeds or any part thereof.
6.8 The Trustee shall determine whether or not the Offering has been
successful, and if it determines that less than the minimum number of the
Securities being offered have been sold during the Offering Period and any
Extension Period, thus rendering the Offering unsuccessful, the Trustee shall
return the proceeds of the Offering to the investors on a pro-rata basis, with
interest pro-rata.
7. Amendment; Resignation. This Agreement may be altered or amended
only with the written consent of the Issuer and the Trustee. The Trustee may
resign for any reason upon seven (7) business days written notice to the Issuer.

any deposit, make any disbursement or otherwise dispose of the Deposited
Proceeds, but its only duty shall be to hold the Deposited Proceeds for a period
of not more than ten (10) business days following the effective date of such
resignation, at which time (a) if a successor Trustee shall have been appointed
and written notice thereof (lncluding the name and address of such successor
Trustee) shall have been given to the resigning Trustee by the Issuer and such
successor Trustee, the resigning Trustee shall pay over to the successor Trustee
the Deposited Proceeds, less any portion thereof previously paid out in
accordance with this Agreement, or (b) if the resigning Trustee shall not have
received written notice signed by the Issuer and a successor Trustee, then the
resigning Trustee shall promptly refund the remaining amount in the Deposited
Proceeds to each prospective purchaser with interest thereon and without
deduction therefrom, and the resigning Trustee shall notify the Issuer in
writing of its liquidation and distribution of the Deposited Proceeds;
whereupon, in either case, the Trustee shall be relieved of all further
obligations and released from all liability under this Agreement.

liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable
counsel fees, which the Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of any action,

way to any actions or omissions of the Issuer.

enclosing a copy of all papers served. In case any such action, suit or
proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee and it shall notify the
Issuer of the commencement thereof, the Issuer shall be entitled to participate
in and, to the extent that they shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall have the right to
employ counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel

by such Indemnitee has been authorized by the Issuer, (ii) the Indemnitee shall
have concluded reasonably that there may be a conflict of interest among the
Issuer and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action (in which
case the Issuer shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on
behalf of the Indemnitee), or (iii) the Issuer in fact shall not have employed
counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees
and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the Issuer.

Agreement, shall be void unless the Issuer shall have consented in writing to
