accordance with the instructions set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto. Such
instructions may be modified only by a written certificate executed by an
authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Escrow Agent; however,

5. Responsibilities and Rights of the Escrow Agent. To induce the Escrow
Agent to act hereunder, it is further agreed by the undersigned that:
(a) The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Escrow Agent shall have no duty or responsibility as regards any: (i)
security as to which a default in the payment of principal or interest has
occurred, to give notice of default, make demand for payment or take any other
action with respect to such default; and (ii) loss occasioned by delay in the
actual receipt of notice of any payment, redemption or other transaction
regarding any item in the Escrow Assets as to which it is authorized to take
action hereunder. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel and shall be fully
protected with respect to any action taken in good faith in accordance with such
advice. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability or responsibility for any
misstatement in, or omission from, the Prospectus.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the Escrowed
Assets held by it hereunder any greater degree of care than it gives its own
similar property and shall not be required to invest any funds held hereunder
except as directed pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. In the event that there is
a change in the investment instructions resulting in uninvested funds, such
uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.
(c) The Escrow Agent does not make any representation or warranty with
regard to the creation or perfection, hereunder or otherwise, of a security
interest in the Escrow Assets or regarding the negotiability or transferability
of, or existence of other interests in the Escrow Assets. The Escrow Agent shall
have no responsibility at any time to ascertain whether or not any security
interest exists in the Escrow Assets or any part thereof or to file any
financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any state with respect
to the Escrow Assets or any part thereof.
(d) The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any judicial
order or legal process which stays, enjoins, directs or otherwise affects the
transfer or delivery of the Escrow Assets or any party hereto and shall incur no
liability for any delay or loss which may occur as a result of such compliance.
(e) The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or responsibility with regard to
any loss resulting from the investment, reinvestment, sale or liquidation of the
Escrow Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent
need not maintain any insurance with respect to the Escrow Assets.
(f) The Escrow Agent shall in no event be liable in connection with its
investment or reinvestment of any cash held by it hereunder in good faith, in
accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, any liability
for any delays (not resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct)
in the investment or reinvestment of the Escrowed Assets, or any loss of
interest incident to any such delays.
(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Escrow Agent is
authorized to execute instructions and take other actions pursuant to this
Agreement in accordance with its customary processing practices for similar
customers and, in accordance with such practices the Escrow Agent may retain
agents, including its own subsidiaries or affiliates, to perform certain of such
functions. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under this Agreement for any
loss or expense other than those occasioned by the Escrow Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct and in any event its liability shall be limited
to direct damages and shall not include any special or consequential damages.
All collection and receipt of funds or securities and all payment and delivery
of funds or securities under this Agreement shall be made by the Escrow Agent as
agent, at the risk of the other parties hereto with respect to their actions or
omissions and those of any person other than the Escrow Agent. In no event shall
the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable for any loss due to force beyond its
control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, fire, nuclear
fusion, fission or radiation, war (declared or undeclared), terrorism,
insurrection, revolution, riot, strikes or work stoppages for any reason,
embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the
like which restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by
this Agreement, inability to obtain equipment or communications facilities, or
the failure of equipment or interruption of communications facilities, and other
causes whether or not
of the same class or kind as specifically named above. In the event that the
Escrow Agent is unable substantially to perform for any of the reasons described
in the immediately preceding sentence, it shall so notify the other parties
hereto as soon as reasonably practicable following its actual knowledge of the
same.
(h) This Escrow Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of the
Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied
duties or obligations shall be read into this agreement against the Escrow
Agent. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Escrow Agent shall not be bound by, or have any responsibility with respect to,
any other agreement or contract among the Company and the Representatives
(whether or not the Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof).
(i) It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with
respect to the payment and/or ownership or right of possession of the Escrow
Assets, or should the Escrow Agent in good faith be in doubt as to what action
it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to retain
in its possession, without liability to anyone, all or any part of the Escrow
Assets until such dispute shall have been settled either by mutual agreement by
the parties concerned or by the final order, decree or judgment of any court or
other tribunal of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America and
time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but the Escrow
Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such
proceedings. Any such court order shall be accompanied by a legal opinion by
counsel for the presenting party satisfactory to the Escrow Agent to the effect
that said court order is final and nonappealable.
(j) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment,
certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it
hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the
correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the
service thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any alteration of
investment or distribution instructions, the Escrow Agent shall have no
responsibility to determine whether the requested alteration was required by the
Board of Directors of the Company to fulfill its fiduciary obligations. The
Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it
to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or
advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the
provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.
(k) The Company shall hold the Escrow Agent and its agents harmless from,
and indemnify and reimburse the Escrow Agent and its agents for all claims,
liability, loss and expense (including reasonable out-of-pocket and incidental
expenses and legal fees), incurred by the Escrow Agent or them in connection
with the Escrow Agent or their acting under this Agreement, provided that the
Escrow Agent or they, as the case may be, have not acted with gross negligence
or willful misconduct with respect to the events resulting in such claims,
liability, loss, and expense.
(l) The Company acknowledges and agree that, except as otherwise provided
in this Section 6(l), the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for taking any
steps, including without limitation, the filing of forms or reports, or
withholding of any amounts in connection with any tax obligations of the Company
or any other party in connection with the Escrow Assets; provided, however, that
the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to take any action such as withholding, that
it deems appropriate
to ensure compliance with its obligations under any applicable tax laws. In no
event shall the Escrow Agent be required to distribute funds from the Escrow
Account to either the shareholders or the Company unless the appropriate
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Form W-9 are received. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall supply any information or documents as may be
reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the Company's preparation
of its tax returns for the Escrow Account. Upon any distribution of Escrow
Assets in accordance with the instructions set forth in Exhibit D attached
hereto, the Escrow Agent shall prepare and deliver to each person receiving a
distribution a completed Form 1099, and shall supply any necessary information
as may reasonably be requested in writing by such persons.
(m) The Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Assets
deposited hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only
possession thereof. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon
request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the Escrow Assets
incurred in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow
Agent from any amounts that it is obligated to pay in the way of such taxes.
This paragraph shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Escrow
Agreement or the resignation of the Escrow Agent.
(n) The Escrow Agent makes no representation as to the validity, value,
genuineness or the collectability of any security or other document or
instrument held by or delivered to it.
(o) The Escrow Agent shall not be called upon to advise any party as to
the wisdom in selling or retaining or taking or refraining from any action with
respect to any securities or other property deposited hereunder.
(p) No printed or other matter in any language (including without
limitation prospectuses, notices, reports and promotional material) which
mentions the Bank's name or the rights, powers, or duties of the Escrow Agent
shall be issued by the other parties hereto or on such parties, behalf unless
the Escrow Agent shall first have given its specific written consent thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Escrow Agent hereby specifically
consents to the use of its name as Escrow Agent as necessary to effectuate the
Company's public offering and a business combination of the Company.
(q) The Company authorizes the Escrow Agent, for any securities held
hereunder, to use the services of any United States central securities
depository it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the Depositary
Trust Company and the Federal Reserve Book Entry System.
6. Instructions: Fund Transfers.
(a) The Escrow Agent is authorized to rely and act upon all instructions
given or purported to be given by one or more officers, employees or agents of
the Company (i) authorized by or in accordance with a corporate resolution
delivered to the Escrow Agent or (ii) described as authorized in a certificate
delivered to the Escrow Agent by the appropriate Secretary or Assistant
Secretary or similar officer (each such officer, employee or agent or
combination of officers, employees and agents authorized pursuant to clause (i)
or described pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 6(a) is hereinafter
referred to as an "Authorized Officer"). (The term "instructions"
includes, without limitation, instructions to sell, assign, transfer, deliver,
purchase or receive for the Escrow Account any and all stocks, bonds and other
securities or to transfer all or any portion of the Escrow Assets.) The Escrow
Agent may also rely and act upon instructions when bearing or purporting to bear
the signature or facsimile signature of any of the individuals designated by an
Authorized Officer regardless of by whom or by what means the actual or
purported facsimile signature or signatures thereon may have been affixed
thereto if such facsimile signature or signatures resemble the facsimile
specimen or specimens from time to time furnished to the Escrow Agent by any of
such Authorized Officers, Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or similar
officer). In addition, and subject to subsection 6(b) hereof, the Escrow Agent
may rely and act upon instructions received by telephone, telex, TXW facsimile
transmission, bank wire or other teleprocess acceptable to it which the Escrow
Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an Authorized Officer or
which are transmitted with proper testing or authentication pursuant to terms
and conditions which the Escrow Agent may specify. The Escrow Agent shall incur
no liability to the Company or otherwise for having acted in accordance with
instructions on which it is authorized to rely pursuant to the provisions
hereof. Any instructions delivered to the Escrow Agent by telephone shall
promptly thereafter be confirmed in writing by an Authorized Officer but the
Escrow Agent shall incur no liability for a failure to send such confirmation in
writing, the failure of any such written confirmation to conform to the
telephone instruction which it received, the failure of any such written
confirmation to be signed or properly signed, or its failure to produce such
confirmation at any subsequent time. The Escrow Agent shall incur no liability
for refraining from acting upon any instructions, which for any reason it, in
good faith, is unable to verify to its own satisfaction. Unless otherwise
expressly provided, all authorizations and instructions shall continue in full
force and effect until canceled or superseded by subsequent authorizations or
instructions received by the Escrow Agent's safekeeping account administrator.
The Escrow Agent's authorization to rely and act upon instructions pursuant to
this paragraph shall be in addition to, and shall not limit, any other
authorization, which the Company may give to it hereunder.
(b) With respect to written or telephonic instructions or instructions
sent by facsimile transmission to transfer funds from the Escrow Account in
accordance herewith (such instructions hereinafter referred to as "Transfer
Instructions"), the security procedure agreed upon for verifying the
authenticity of Transfer Instructions is a callback by the Escrow Agent to any
of the persons designated below, whether or not any such person has issued such
Transfer Instruction. (It is recommended that the persons designated below not
be persons who generally issue Transfer Instructions; whenever possible, the
Escrow Agent will endeavor to call someone other than the issuer of the Transfer
Instructions).
With respect to Transfer Instructions given by the Company pursuant to its
authority under this Agreement:
Name/Title Telephone No.
---------- -------------
Xxxxxx Xxxxx, President (000) 000-0000
Alternatively, at the Escrow Agent's option, the callback may be made to
any person designated in the certified resolutions or other certificates or
documentation furnished to it by a party in connection with the Escrow Account
as authorized to issue Transfer Instructions or otherwise transact business with
respect to the Escrow Account for that party. The Company shall implement any
other authentication method or procedure or security device required by the
Escrow Agent at any time or from time to time.
7. Stockholder Redemption. In the event a stockholder exercises his or her
redemption right upon the Business Combination of the Company, the funds to
repay said stockholder shall be distributed directly from the Escrow Account. As
soon as practicable after the Company receives notice from a stockholder that
the stockholder is exercising its redemption rights, the Company shall instruct
the Escrow Agent to transfer, and (so long as the Escrow Agent has received an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Form W-9) the Escrow Agent shall so
transfer, the funds owed to the stockholder; such instructions to include the
amount to be transferred and delivery instructions. These instructions shall
comply with Section 6 of this Escrow Agreement.
8. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent.
(a) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice to
the Company. The Company may remove the Escrow Agent upon written notice to the
Escrow Agent. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon delivery of the
Escrow Assets to a successor escrow agent designated in writing by the Company,
and the Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged from all obligations under
this Agreement, and shall have no further duties or responsibilities in
connection herewith. The obligations of the Company to the Escrow Agent and the
rights of the Escrow Agent under Sections 5, 6(c), and 6(h) hereof shall survive
termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.
(b) In the event that the Escrow Agent submits a notice of resignation,
its only duty, until a successor Escrow Agent shall have been appointed and
shall have accepted such appointment, shall be to safekeep the Escrow Assets,
and hold, invest and dispose of the Escrow Assets in accordance with this
Agreement, until receipt of a designation of successor Escrow Agent or a joint
written disposition instrument by the other parties hereto or a Final Order of a
court of competent jurisdiction, but without regard to any notices, requests,
instructions, demands or the like received by it from the other parties hereto
after such notice shall have been given, unless the same is a direction that the
Escrow Assets be paid or delivered in its entirety out of the Escrow Account.
The Escrow Agent, upon submission of its resignation in accordance with this
subparagraph (b) may deposit the Escrow Assets with a court of competent
jurisdiction if the Escrow Agent deems such action advisable. The resignation of
the Escrow Agent will take effect on the earlier of (a) the appointment of a
successor (including a court of competent jurisdiction) or (b) the day which is
30 days after the date of delivery of its written notice of resignation to the
other parties hereto. If, at the time the Escrow Agent has not received a
designation of a successor Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent's sole responsibility
after that time shall be to safe-keep the Escrow Assets until receipt of a
designation of a successor Escrow Agent or a joint written disposition
instrument by the other parties hereto or a final order of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
9. Notices. Unless expressly provided herein to the contrary, notices
hereunder shall be in writing, and delivered by telecopier, overnight express
mail, first-class postage prepaid, delivered personally or by receipted courier
service. All such notices which are mailed shall be deemed delivered upon
