2. Acquisition of Replacement Property.
(a) Identification. At such time or times as Party A locates
other assets, including without limitation, stocks, bonds, promissory notes and
all other types of property, real, personal, tangible or intangible which it
desires for Escrow Holder to cause to be acquired and conveyed to it pursuant to

and (ii) with respect to more than one asset. Any Identification Notice may be
revoked by Party A within forty-five (45) days of Closing but thereafter may not
be revoked.
(b) Acquisition. Subject to the limitations of Section 2(c)
and (d) hereof, if Party A provides to Escrow Holder an Identification Notice

be required to (I) enter into any agreement to acquire the Replacement Property
which is not reasonably acceptable to it, (ii) assume any loan secured by the
Replacement Property or to execute any promissory note or other evidence of
indebtedness in connection with its acquisition or acquisitions which would
impose any liability upon Escrow Holder or (iii) execute any agreement or

Holder, would require Escrow Holder to engage in any unlawful or fraudulent
actions.
(e) Limitation Period. Upon the expiration of one hundred eighty
(180) days after the Closing, Party A shall have the right to require Escrow
Holder to transfer to it the Exchange Credit then unexpended in the acquisition
of the Replacement Property; provided, however, if Party A has not identified
Replacement Property by the end of the Identification Period, then Party A shall
have the right to require Escrow Holder to transfer to it the balance of the
Exchange Credit then unexpended in the acquisition of the Replacement Property.
Escrow Holder shall transfer all amounts due Party A pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence within five (5) days of written demand therefor from Party A.

e. Tax Matters. Party A hereto shall provide Escrow Holder with its
taxpayer identification number or certification of foreign taxpayer exemption at
the execution hereof. Failure to so provide such forms may prevent or delay
investment of the Deposit and/or final disbursement of the Deposit and may incur
a penalty and cause Escrow Holder to be required to withhold tax on any interest
payable hereunder. All interest, if any, earned on the Deposit shall be paid to
Party A.
f. Scope of Undertaking. Escrow Holder's and Escrow Holder's duties
and responsibilities shall be purely ministerial and shall be limited to those
expressly set forth in this Agreement. Escrow Holder is not a principal,
participant or beneficiary of any transaction underlying this Agreement and
shall have no duty to inquire beyond the terms and provisions hereof. Escrow
Holder and Escrow Holder shall have no responsibility or obligation of any kind
in connection with this Agreement or the Deposit, and shall not be required to
deliver the same or any part thereof or take any action with respect to any
matters that might arise in connection therewith, other than to receive, hold,
invest and deliver the Deposit as herein provided. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the
parties hereto that Escrow Holder shall not be required to exercise any
discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility
and, accordingly, shall have no duty to, or liability for its failure to,
provide investment recommendations or investment advice to the parties or either
of them. Escrow Holder shall not be liable for any error in judgment, any act or
omission, any mistake of law or fact, or for anything it may do or refrain from
doing in connection herewith, except for, subject to Section 4 hereinbelow, its
own willful misconduct. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Escrow
Holder shall not be required to use, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the
exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder.
4. Reliance; Liability. After Escrow Holder receives the consent of
Party A, Escrow Holder shall not be liable for following the instructions
contained in any written notice, instruction or request or other paper furnished
to it hereunder or pursuant hereto and believed by it to have been signed or
presented by the proper part. Escrow Holder shall be responsible for holding,
investing, reinvesting and disbursing the Deposit; provided, however, that in no
event shall Escrow Holder be liable for any lost profits, lost savings or other
special, exemplary, consequential or incidental damages in excess of Escrow
Holder's fee hereunder and provided, further, that Escrow Holder shall have no
liability for any loss arising from any cause beyond its control, including, but
not limited to, the following: (a) acts of God, force majeure, including,
without limitation, war (whether or not declared or existing), revolution,
insurrection, riot, civil commotion, accident, fire, explosion, stoppage of
labor, strikes and other differences with employees; (b) the act, failure or
neglect of any other party or any agent or correspondent or any other person
selected by Escrow Holder; (c) any delay, error, omission or default of any
mail, courier, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator; or (d) the acts
or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity
exercising governmental powers. Escrow Holder is not responsible or liable in
any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity
of the subject matter of this Agreement or any part hereof or for the
transaction or transactions requiring or underlying the execution of this
Agreement, the form or execution hereof or for the identity or authority of any
person executing this Agreement or any part hereof or depositing the Deposit.
5. Right of Interpleader. Should any controversy arise involving the
parties hereto or any other person, firm or entity with respect to this
Agreement or the Deposit, or should a substitute Escrow Holder fail to be
designated as provided in Section 8 hereof, or if Escrow Holder should be in
doubt as to what action to take, Escrow Holder shall have the right, but not the
obligation, either to (a) withhold delivery of the Deposit until the controversy
is resolved, the conflicting demands are withdrawn, or its doubt is resolved, or
(b) institute a xxxx of interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction to
determine the rights of the parties hereto. The right of Escrow Holder to
institute such a xxxx of interpleader shall not, however, be deemed to modify
the manner in which Escrow Holder is entitled to direct disbursements of the
Deposit as herein set forth other than to tender the Deposit into the registry
of such court. In the event Escrow Holder is a party to any dispute, Escrow
Holder shall have the additional right to refer such controversy to binding
arbitration. Should a xxxx of interpleader be instituted, or should Escrow
Holder be threatened with litigation or become involved in litigation or binding
arbitration in any manner whatsoever in connection with this Agreement or the
Deposit, then, Party A agrees to pay Escrow Holder from the Deposit its
attorney's fees and any and all other disbursements, expenses, losses, costs and
damages of Escrow Holder in connection with or resulting from such threatened or
actual litigation or arbitration prior to any disbursement hereunder.

by Escrow Holder without notice, by set off, or by appropriate foreclosure
proceedings.

faith upon the advice of such counsel.

written notice to Party A. If Party A fails to designate a substitute Escrow
Holder within 10 days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Holder may
institute a xxxx of interpleader as contemplated by Section 5 hereof. Escrow
Holder's sole responsibility after the notice period expires shall be in
accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction, at which time Escrow Holder's obligations hereunder
shall cease and terminate.

set forth herein, Party A shall not have the right following the Closing to

interpretation or enforcement of its terms, shall be determined and settled by

Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall be held in Willemstad, Curacao. Any
reward rendered in such arbitration shall be final and binding on each of the
parties and judgment may be entered thereon in a court of competent
jurisdiction.
