Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall be authorized to withhold the appropriate number of Escrow Shares for transfer to Company's designee without further authorization from any party.

6. The Agent shall have no duties or obligations hereunder except those specifically set forth herein and such duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Escrow Agreement. The Agent shall not be liable for anything it may do or refrain from doing in connection with its duties hereunder except as a result of its own willful misconduct or fraud. The Agent shall not be required to defend any legal proceedings which may be instituted against it in respect of the subject matter of these instructions unless requested to do so by the undersigned parties and indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost and expense of such defense. The Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of any kind, and shall have no responsibility to verify the genuineness or validity of any document or signature or other item deposited with or submitted to it under this Escrow Agreement. Each party agrees to indemnify the Agent from all costs and expenses associated with the performance of the Agent's duties under this Escrow Agreement including the fees of counsel of this Escrow Agreement. Any action brought which involves the Agent shall be brought only in Collin County, Texas.
7. Communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if personally delivered or sent by telecopy, overnight courier or certified mail, postage prepaid to such addresses shown below or as shall be furnished in writing by any party in the manner for giving notices hereunder, and any such communication shall be deemed to have been given (i) upon receipt, if personally delivered, (ii) on the day after dispatch, if sent by overnight courier, (iii) upon dispatch, if transmitted by telecopy and receipt is confirmed by telephone and (iv) three (3) days after mailing, if sent by certified mail.

9. The Escrow Shareholders acknowledge that the Agent currently serves as legal counsel for the Company and that no attorney-client relationship exists, or is created by this Escrow Agreement, between the Escrow Shareholders and the Agent. The parties agree that, in the event a conflict should arise between the parties, the Agent shall, in any event, remain bound by the terms of this Escrow Agreement, but will not be disqualified from also acting as legal counsel for the Company. The Escrow Shareholders agree not to communicate any confidential information to the Agent at any time, beyond that which is necessary for the Agent to carry out his duties under this Escrow Agreement.
10. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States of America.
11. This Escrow Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by facsimile signature, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing the same (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
12. From time to time on and after the date hereof, the parties shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request in the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder (it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to make any such request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder).
13. This Escrow Agreement, along with the Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and the Escrow Shareholders, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect of the subject matter hereof and may not be changed or modified except by a written agreement signed by all the parties hereto.
