7. Concerning the Escrow Agent.
(a) The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as
are expressly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent.
(b) The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or
instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, may
assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such
a writing or instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any
writing, notice, advice or instructions in connection with the provisions hereof
has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any
manner for the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner, and execution, or
validity of any instrument deposited in this escrow, nor as to the identity,
authority, or right of any person executing the same; and its duties hereunder
shall be limited to the safekeeping of such certificates, monies, instruments,
or other documents received by it as such escrow Pledgee, and for the
disposition of the same in accordance with the written instruments accepted by
it in the escrow.
(c) Pledgee and Pledgor hereby agree, jointly and severally, to
defend and indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all
claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits, or proceedings at law or in equity,
or any other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or nature which it may
incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent
under this Agreement, except where arising out of willful misconduct or gross
negligence; and in connection therewith, to indemnify the Escrow Agent against
any and all expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs of defending any
action, suit, or proceeding or resisting any claim. The Escrow Agent shall be
vested with a lien on all property deposited hereunder, for indemnification of
attorneys' fees and court costs regarding any suit, proceeding or otherwise, or
any other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or nature, which may be
incurred by the Escrow Agent by reason of disputes arising between the makers of
this escrow as to the correct interpretation of this Agreement and instructions
given to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or otherwise, with the right of the Escrow
Agent, regardless of the instructions aforesaid, to hold said property until and
unless said additional expenses, fees, and charges shall be fully paid. Any fees
and costs charged by the Escrow Agent for serving hereunder shall be paid by the
4
Borrower, which fees and costs are specified in the Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement.
(d) If any two parties shall be in disagreement about the
interpretation of this Agreement, or about the rights and obligations, or the
propriety of any action contemplated by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow
Agent may, at its sole discretion deposit the Pledged Materials with the Clerk
of the Circuit Court of Xxxxxx County, New Jersey, and, upon notifying all
parties concerned of such action, all liability on the part of the Escrow Agent
shall fully cease and terminate. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified by the
Borrower and Pledgee for all costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees in
connection with the aforesaid proceeding, and shall be fully protected in
suspending all or a part of its activities under this Agreement until a final
decision or other settlement in the proceeding is received. (e) The Escrow Agent
may consult with counsel of its own choice (and the costs of such counsel shall
be paid by Borrower and Pledgee) and shall have full and complete authorization
and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith
and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. The Escrow Agent shall
otherwise not be liable for any mistakes of fact or error of judgment, or for
any actions or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its willful misconduct or
gross negligence.
(f) The Escrow Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days' written
notice to the parties in this Agreement. If a successor Escrow Agent is not
appointed within this thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent may petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor.
8. Event of Default. An "Event of Default" hereunder shall be deemed
to have occurred upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Convertible Debentures. The Pledgee shall give the Pledgor 60 days advance
written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default prior to taking the
actions specified in Section 9 hereof. Such notice shall be deemed delivered if
the Pledgee delivers notice under any of the Convertible Debentures or other
Transaction Documents. Such notice shall not be in addition to any notice
required under the Convertible Debentures or any of the other Transaction
Documents.
9. In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and
remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement or by law) for the protection
and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under
the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New Jersey, and the Escrow Agent
shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise any or all of the following
rights, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable:
(i) to receive all amounts payable in respect of
the Collateral otherwise payable under Section 6 to such
Pledgor;
(ii) to transfer all or any part of the Collateral
into Escrow Agent's name or the name of its nominee or
nominees;
(iii) to accelerate any Secured Debenture which may
be accelerated in accordance with its terms, and take any
other lawful action to collect upon any Secured Debenture
(including, without limitation, to make any demand for
payment thereon);
5
(iv) to vote all or any part of the Collateral (in
each case whether or not transferred into the name of
Escrow Agent) and give all consents, waivers and
ratification in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act
with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner
thereof (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and
appointing Escrow Agent the proxy and attorney-in-fact of
such Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so);
and
(v) at any time or from time to time to sell,
assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or
any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, at any
public or private sale, without demand of performance or
advertisement or to redeem or otherwise (all of which are
hereby waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for
other property, for immediate or future delivery without
any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices
and on such terms as Escrow Agent in its reasonable
discretion may determine, provided that at least 10 days'
notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be
given to such Pledgor. The Pledgee shall not be obligated
to make such sale of Collateral regardless of whether any
such notice of sale has theretofore been given. Each
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property so sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any
Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the
fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of
redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before
or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of
marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the
Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless
prohibited by applicable law, Escrow Agent may bid for and
purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free
from any such right or equity of redemption. The Pledgee
shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon
any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing
nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action
whatsoever with regard thereto.
10. Remedies, etc., Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of Escrow
Agent provided for in this Agreement or any other Documents, or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent
and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The
exercise or beginning of the exercise by Escrow Agent of any one or more of the
rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Documents
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise
shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Escrow Agent of all
such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of
Escrow Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a
waiver thereof. Unless otherwise required by the Documents, no notice to or
demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any
of the rights of Escrow Agent to any other further action in any circumstances
without demand or notice. The Lender shall have the full power to enforce or to
assign or contract is rights under this Agreement to a third party.
11. Further Assurances; Power-Of-Attorney. (a) Pledgor agrees that it
will join with the Escrow Agent in executing and, at such Pledgor's own expense,
6
file and refile under the Uniform Commercial Code such financing statements,
continuation statements and other documents in such offices as the Escrow Agent
may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate and wherever required or permitted
by law in order to perfect and preserve the Pledgee's security interest in the
Collateral hereunder and hereby authorizes the Escrow Agent to file financing
statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral
without the signature of such Pledgor where permitted bylaw, and agrees to do
such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent such
additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Escrow
Agent may reasonably require or reasonably deem advisable to carry into effect
the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Pledgee
its rights, powers and remedies hereunder or thereunder.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Escrow Agent such
Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, to act from time to time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the
Escrow Agent's reasonable discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument which the Escrow Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish
the purposes of this Agreement.
12. Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any collection, recovery,
receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral shall be applied
by Pledgee as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of all costs, reasonable expenses and
charges of Pledgee and to the reimbursement of Pledgee for the prior payment of
such costs, reasonable expenses and charges incurred in connection with the sale
or any other disposition of any of the Collateral, as well as to the expenses of
any attorneys' fees and reasonable expenses, court costs, any other fees or
expenses incurred or expenditures or advances made by Pledgee in the protection,

(c) Third, to the extent of any surplus to Pledgor or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Indebtedness, Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency plus the costs and fees
of any attorneys employed by Pledgee to collect such deficiency.
13. Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and Pledgor shall pay to
Pledgee on demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses,

all transfer, recording, filing and other charges) of, or incidental to, the
custody, care, transfer, administration of the Collateral or any other
collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or
preservation of the rights or remedies of Pledgee under this Agreement or with
respect to any of the Indebtedness.
