action required or requested of Escrow Agent.
8.
Investment

Escrow
Agent shall deposit the Escrow Funds in a non-interest bearing account.

in a
non-interest bearing account.
9.
Resignation
and Removal of Escrow Agent.
Escrow
Agent may resign from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by
giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties or may be removed,
with or without cause, by the parties, acting jointly, by furnishing a Joint

appoint a successor Escrow Agent hereunder, which shall be a commercial bank,
trust company or other financial institution with a combined capital and surplus

Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Escrow

incurred by the retiring Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of
its
duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder.
10.
Liability
of Escrow Agent.
4
a.
Escrow
Agent shall have no liability or obligation with respect to the Escrow Funds
except for Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent’s
sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping, investment, and disbursement
of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow
Agent
shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with
knowledge or notice or any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth
herein. Escrow Agent may rely upon any instrument, not only as to its due
execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy
of
any information contained herein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe
to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by the person or parties
purporting to sign the same and conform to the provisions of this Agreement.
In
no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, and
consequential or punitive damages. 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 Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or
proceeding. Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in any event
of any dispute or question as to construction of any of the provisions hereof
or
of any other agreement or 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
opinion or instructions of such counsel. The Company and the Investor(s) jointly
and severally shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses
of any such counsel.
b.
Escrow
Agent is hereby authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with orders issued
or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Funds, without
determination by 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 any 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,
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, binding upon it, without the need for appeal or other action;
and if 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 Agreement, the parties jointly and
severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law and to the extent
provided herein, 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, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including
without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses) incurred by
or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date
hereof, 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 the parties to this Agreement, 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 of this Agreement or any transaction
contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to
any
such action or 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 liability finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted from
the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. If any such
action or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party,
such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company and the Investor(s)
hereunder in writing, and the Investor(s) and the Company shall assume the
defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all
expenses. Such Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right
to employ separate counsel (who may be selected by such Indemnified Party in
its
sole discretion) in any such action and to participate and to participate in
the
defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by
such
Indemnified Party, except that the Investor(s) and/or the Company shall be
required to pay such fees and expense if (a) the Investor(s) or the Company
agree to pay such fees and expenses, or (b) the Investor(s) and/or the Company
shall fail to assume the defense of such action or proceeding or shall fail,
in
the sole discretion of such Indemnified Party, to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in any such action or proceeding, (c)
the
Investor(s) and the Company are the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding
or (d) the named or potential parties to any such action or proceeding
(including any potentially impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified
Party, the Company and/or the Investor(s) and the Indemnified Party shall have
been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available
to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Company
or the Investor(s). The Investor(s) and the Company shall be jointly and
severally liable to pay fees and expenses of counsel pursuant to the preceding
sentence, except that any obligation to pay under clause (a) shall apply only
to
the party so agreeing. All such fees and expenses payable by the Company and/or
the Investor(s) pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be paid from time
to
time as incurred, both in advance of and after the final disposition of such
action or claim. The obligations of the parties under this section shall survive
any termination of this Agreement, and resignation or removal of the Escrow
Agent shall be independent of any obligation of Escrow Agent.
The
parties agree that neither payment by the Company or the Investor(s) of any
claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification hereunder shall impair, limit, modify,
or affect, as between the Investor(s) and the Company, the respective rights
and
obligations of Investor(s), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other
hand.
