6. Resolutions & Disbursement of Claims. If during the Escrow Period Purchaser elects to make a claim for indemnity against the Seller, then the procedures for administering and resolving such claims shall be as follows:

(a) If the Purchaser elects to assert a claim for indemnity (an "Indemnity Claim"), it must (i) simultaneously give written notice of such claim (a "Claim Notice") to the Escrow Agent and the Seller prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period. Such Claim Notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the claim and the basis therefor and the amount, if known, asserted by Purchaser for such claim (including, if appropriate, an estimate of all costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred by Purchaser by reason of such claim). Within thirty (30) calendar days after the date upon which such Claim Notice is delivered to the Escrow Agent (the " Claim Notice Delivery Date"), the Seller  may advise Purchaser and the Escrow Agent in writing whether the Seller  objects to some or all of the Indemnity Claim described in the Claim Notice.

(b) Escrow Agent shall pay an Indemnity Claim to Purchaser in the amount set forth in the Claim Notice (i) if the Escrow Agent has not received from the Seller a response to the Claim Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after the Claim Notice Delivery Date and the Purchaser has provided a written statement to the Escrow Agent stating that Purchaser has delivered the Claim Notice to the Seller on the Claim Notice Delivery Date, and that the Seller has failed to object to the Indemnity Claim; or (ii) pursuant to a Joint Written Direction.

(c) If, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Claim Notice Delivery Date, the Escrow Agent receives from the Seller a written objection (a "Claim Response") to any or all (the "Contested Amount") of the Claim Notice amount, Escrow Agent shall release to the Purchaser the amount set forth in the Claim Notice except for the Contested Amount. Thereafter, Escrow Agent shall release the Contested Amount only pursuant to (i) a Joint Written Direction or (ii) the order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or the award of an arbitrator chosen by Purchaser and Seller.

(d) Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the validity or sufficiency of any Claim Notice or Claim Response or whether any Claim Notice or Claim Response has been received by, or to provide a copy of any Claim Notice or Claim Response to, any of Purchaser, Seller or their respective Representatives.

7. Investment of Funds.  Based upon Purchaser's and Seller's prior review of investment alternatives, in the absence of further specific written direction to the contrary, the Escrow Agent is directed to initially invest and reinvest the Escrow Funds in the investment indicated on Schedule B hereto.  The Seller  may provide written instructions changing the investment of the Escrow Funds to the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that no investment or reinvestment may be made except in the following:  (a) direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America; (b) U.S. dollar denominated deposit accounts and certificates of deposits issued by any bank, bank and trust company, or national banking association (including Escrow Agent and its affiliates), which such deposits are either (i) insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or a similar governmental agency, or (ii) with domestic commercial banks which have a rating on their short- term certificates of deposit on the date of purchase of "A-1" or "A-l+" by S&P or "P-1" by Xxxxx'x and maturing no more than 360 days after the date of purchase (ratings on holding companies are not considered as the rating of the bank); (c) repurchase agreements with any bank, trust company, or national banking association (including Escrow Agent and its affiliates); or (d) institutional money market funds, including funds managed by Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates; provided that the Escrow Agent will not be directed to invest in investments that the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion determines are not consistent with the Escrow Agent's policy or practices.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the Escrow Agent does not have a duty nor will it undertake any duty to provide investment advice.

If Escrow Agent has not received a written instruction from Seller at any time that an investment decision must be made, Escrow Agent is directed to invest the Escrow Funds, or such portion thereof as to which no written investment instruction has been received, in the investment indicated on Schedule B hereto.  All investments shall be made in the name of Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Escrow Agent may, without notice to Purchaser and Seller, sell or liquidate any of the foregoing investments at any time for any

disbursement of Escrow Funds permitted or required hereunder.  All investment earnings shall become part of the Escrow Funds and investment losses shall be charged against the Escrow Funds.  Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for loss in the value of any investment made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, or for any loss, cost or penalty resulting from any sale or liquidation of the Escrow Funds.  With respect to any Escrow Funds received by Escrow Agent after twelve o'clock, p.m., Central Standard Time, Escrow Agent shall not be required to invest such funds or to effect any investment instruction until the next day upon which banks in St. Xxxx, Minnesota and the New York Stock Exchange are open for business.

8. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to Purchaser and Seller specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Similarly, Purchaser and Seller may remove and discharge Escrow Agent from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by jointly giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Escrow Agent specifying a date when such removal shall take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, Purchaser and Seller jointly shall appoint a successor escrow agent hereunder prior to the effective date of such resignation or removal.  If the Purchaser and Seller fail to appoint a successor escrow agent within such time, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor escrow agent, and all costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) related to such petition shall be paid jointly and severally by Purchaser and Seller.  The Escrow Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Funds and shall pay all Escrow Funds to the successor escrow agent, after making copies of such records as the Escrow Agent deems advisable and after deduction and payment to the Escrow Agent of all fees and expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder.  After the Escrow Agent's resignation or removal, the provisions of this Escrow Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement.

9. Binding Effect; Successors.  This Escrow Agreement shall be binding upon the respective parties hereto and their heirs, executors, successors or assigns.  If the Escrow Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including the escrow contemplated by this Escrow Agreement) to another corporation, the successor or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Escrow Agent.

10. Liability of Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied.  The Escrow Agent has no fiduciary or discretionary duties of any kind. 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, including without limitation any other agreement between any or all of the parties hereto or any other persons even though reference thereto may be made herein.  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 sole cause of any loss to the Purchaser or Seller.  Escrow Agent's sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping and disbursement of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein.  Escrow Agent may rely upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same.  In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages or penalties (including, but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages or penalty and regardless of the form of action.  Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control, including without limitation acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terror, epidemics, governmental regulations, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.  Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrow Funds, any account in which Escrow Funds are deposited, this Escrow Agreement or the Underlying Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding.  Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving any party hereto, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully indemnified from any liability whatsoever

in acting in accordance with the advice of such counsel.  Purchaser and Seller, jointly and severally, shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of any such counsel.  Purchaser and Seller agree to perform or procure the performance of all further acts and things, and execute and deliver such further documents, as may be required by law or as Escrow Agent may reasonably request in connection with its duties hereunder.

The Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with final orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Funds, without determination by the Escrow Agent of such court's jurisdiction in the matter.  If any portion of the Escrow Funds is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if the Escrow Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

11. Indemnification of Escrow Agent.  From and at all times after the date of this Escrow Agreement, Purchaser and Seller, jointly and severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation Purchaser, Seller and the Representatives, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance in connection with this Escrow Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Purchaser and Seller further agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of Purchaser's and Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by the Purchaser and Seller jointly and severally.   The obligations of Purchaser and Seller under this Section 11 shall survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

The parties agree that neither the payment by Purchaser or Seller of any claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification hereunder nor the disbursement of any amounts to Escrow Agent from the Escrow Funds in respect of a claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification shall impair, limit, modify, or affect, as between Purchaser and Seller, the respective rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller under the Underlying Agreement.

12. Compensation of Escrow Agent

(a) Fees and Expenses.  Purchaser and Seller agree, jointly and severally, to compensate Escrow Agent on demand for its services hereunder in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto.  Without limiting the joint and several nature of their obligations to Escrow Agent, the Purchaser and Seller agree between themselves that each will be responsible for one-half of Escrow Agent's compensation. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller under this Section 12 shall survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

(b) Disbursements from Escrow Funds to Pay Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent is authorized to, and may disburse to itself from the Escrow Funds, from time to time, the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder).  Escrow Agent shall notify Purchaser and Seller of any disbursement from the Escrow Funds to itself or any Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and shall furnish Purchaser and Seller copies of related invoices and other statements.  Purchaser shall, within 5 business days after receipt of any such notice, deposit with the Escrow Agent one-half of any amount disbursed from the Escrow Funds to the Escrow Agent or an Indemnified Party, and such amount shall become part of the Escrow Funds.

(c) Security and Offset.  Seller, Purchaser and the Representatives hereby grant to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties a security interest in, lien upon and right of offset against the Escrow Funds with respect to any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification hereunder).  If for any reason the Escrow Funds are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly pay such amounts to Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

13. Representations and Warranties.  Purchaser and Seller each respectively make the following representations and warranties to Escrow Agent:

The Escrow Agent may ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.  The parties acknowledge that a portion of the identifying information set forth herein is being requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with the USA Patriot Act, Pub.L.107-56 (the "Act"), and each agrees to provide any additional information requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with the Act or any other legislation or regulation to which Escrow Agent is subject, in a timely manner.

17. Optional Security Procedures.  In the event funds transfer instructions, address changes or change in contact information are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement), whether in writing, by facsimile or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized but shall be under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule C hereto, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated.  The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent and shall be effective only after Escrow Agent has a reasonable opportunity to act on such changes. If the Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the designated representatives identified in Schedule C, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized but shall be under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of Purchaser or Seller's executive officers ("Executive Officers"), as the case may be, which shall include the titles of Chief Executive Officer, President and Vice President, as the Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive Officer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer.

The Escrow Agent in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Purchaser or Seller to identify (a) the beneficiary, (b) the beneficiary's bank, or (c) an intermediary bank.  The Escrow Agent may apply any of the Escrow Funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary's bank or an intermediary bank designated. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that these optional security procedures are commercially reasonable.

18. Amendment, Waiver and Assignment.  None of the terms or conditions of this Escrow Agreement may be changed, waived, modified, discharged, terminated or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by each party to this Escrow Agreement. No course of conduct shall constitute a waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement, unless such waiver is specified in writing, and then only to the extent so specified.  A waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver of the other terms of this Escrow Agreement, or of such terms and conditions on any other occasion. Except as provided in Section 9 hereof, this Escrow Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the written consent of the other parties.

19. Severability.  To the extent any provision of this Escrow Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Escrow Agreement.

20. Governing Law.  This Escrow Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof that would otherwise cause the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

21. Entire Agreement, No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Escrow Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to the holding, investment and disbursement of the Escrow Funds and sets forth in their entirety the obligations and duties of Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Funds.

24. Dealings.  The Escrow Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Escrow Agent may buy, sell, and deal in any of the securities of the Purchaser or Seller and become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Purchaser or Seller may be interested, and contract and lend money to the Purchaser or Seller and otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Escrow Agent under this Agreement.  Nothing herein shall preclude the Escrow Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Purchaser or Seller or for any other entity.

25. Brokerage Confirmation Waiver.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant either the right to receive brokerage confirmations for certain security transactions as they occur, Purchaser and Seller specifically waive receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law.  The Escrow Agent will furnish the Purchaser and Seller periodic cash transaction statements that include detail for all investment transactions made by the Escrow Agent.

If such tax documentation is not so provided, Escrow Agent shall withhold taxes as required by law and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.  Seller and Purchaser have determined that any interest or income on Escrow Funds shall be reported on an accrual basis and deemed to be for the account of Seller.  Seller shall prepare and file all required tax filings with the IRS and any other applicable taxing authority, and Seller shall pay the income taxes that are due and payable on such interest or income on Escrow Funds.  The Escrow Agent shall provide monthly statements to Purchaser and Seller to their notice addresses listed in Section 16 that shall include the amount of any interest or income on Escrow Funds posted each month; provided that the parties further agree that:

DUE UPON EXECUTION OF ESCROW AGREEMENT

II. Annual Administration Fee: $2,500.00

Annual administration fee for performance of the routine duties of the escrow agent associated with the administration of the account.  Administration fee is payable in advance without proration for partial years.  This assumes that the number of subscribers will be limited to one hundred or fewer.  If the number of subscribers exceeds one hundred, then the annual administrative fee shall increase by $1,000 for each incremental group of one to twenty subscribers.

III. Out-of-Pocket Expenses: At Cost

Reimbursement of expenses associated with the performance of our duties, including but not limited to fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other agents, tax preparation, reporting and filing, publications, and filing fees.

Extraordinary services are responses to requests, inquiries or developments, or the carrying out of duties or responsibilities of an unusual nature, including termination, which may or may not be provided for in the governing documents, are not routine or undertaken in the ordinary course of business.  Payment of extraordinary fees is appropriate where particular requests, inquiries or developments are unexpected, even if the possibility of such things could have been foreseen at the inception of the transaction.  Extraordinary services might include, without limitation, amendments or supplements, specialized reporting, non-routine calculations, foreign currency conversions and actual or threatened litigation or arbitration proceedings. A reasonable charge will be assessed and collected by the Escrow Agent based on the nature of the extraordinary service.  At our option, these charges will be billed at a flat fee or at our hourly rate then in effect.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.  For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity we will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. We may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.
