FORM OF
ESCROW AGREEMENT
Between
BANK OF THE WEST
("ESCROW AGENT")
and
CIVILIAN CAPITAL, INC. (THE "UNDERWRITER")
and
XXXXX DEAD, INC. (THE "COMPANY")
I. The Parties.
Civilian Capital Inc., a corporation duly organized and in good standing
under the laws of Delaware (the "Underwriter") and Xxxxx Dead, Inc., a
corporation duly organized and in good standing under the laws of Delaware (the
"Company") (jointly and severally, the "Account Parties"), for the benefit of
investors in the Company's initial public offering of securities (the
"Investors") hereby appoint BANK OF THE WEST ("Escrow Agent") as their Escrow
Agent to render certain services as provided in this Escrow Agreement
("Agreement"), dated June __, 2003.
The Escrow Services under this Agreement will not begin until the Escrow
Agent has received the documentation necessary to establish an account (the
"Account") on its books and has received the escrow property in conformance with
this Agreement.
II. Purpose.
The purpose of this Escrow Agreement is to provide for the escrowing of proceeds
raised in an initial public offering of 900,000 shares of the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock (the "Shares") at a price of $8.75 per share (the "Offering"),
which is being conducted by the Underwriter on a best efforts, "all or none"
basis.
III. The Property.
The Escrow Agent is hereby constituted and appointed the escrow agent hereunder.
As soon as the Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective the
Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 with respect to the Offering (the
"Offering Commencement Date"), the Company will notify the Underwriter and the
Escrow Agent, and will identify the date that is the Offering Commencement Date.
The Underwriter agrees, that at such point, it will deposit all subscriptions
received by it from the Investors ("Offering Proceeds") into an interest bearing
account (the "Escrow Account") to be established by the Escrow Agent for the
benefit of the Investors (the "Escrow Account"). At the time the Underwriter
makes a deposit for a particular Investor, it will forward to the Escrow Agent
the full name and address and taxpayer identification number for such Investor,
together with wire transfer information relating to the Investor's brokerage
account from which its investment in the Offering is being made (the "Brokerage
Account"). From time to time the Underwriter may deliver additional Offering
Proceeds to the Escrow Agent, together with the information referred to in the
preceding sentence. The Underwriter shall transfer to the Escrow Account the
Offering Proceeds from an Investor' Brokerage Account no later than noon of the
next day following the Underwriter's acceptance of an Investor's subscription.
All of the Offering Proceeds, together with any income earned or credited, shall
constitute the assets of the Escrow Account and may be referred to herein as the
"Assets". The Escrow Agent shall provide appropriate delivery instructions to
the Account Parties.
IV. Duration.
A. When the Escrow Agent has received Offering Proceeds representing all of the
Shares being sold in the Offering (an aggregate of $7,875,000), then the Escrow
Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Underwriter, and, at the written
election of the Company (signed by its Chief Executive Officer), the Escrow
Agent will release such Offering Proceeds, together with all interest accrued
thereon, subject to deduction for expenses (including any fees charged by the
Escrow Agent), promptly to the Company. The written instruction from the Company
shall be accompanied by a written opinion of counsel to the
26.
Company and by a written confirmation from the Underwriter that all conditions
to the release of the Offering Proceeds have been satisfied.
B. If the Escrow Agent has not received Offering Proceeds representing all of
the Shares being sold in the Offering by close of business on the 90th day after
the Offering Commencement Date (the "Expiration Date"), which Expiration Date
may be extended for an additional 90 days if so elected in writing by the
Company and the Underwriter, with a copy of such election to extend the
Expiration Date to be delivered by the Company to the Escrow Agent, then the
Escrow Agent will release and return the Offering Proceeds to the Investors'
Brokerage Accounts, based on the amount of each Investor's subscription,
together with all interest accrued thereon and without deduction for any
expenses (including any fees charged by the Escrow Agent). Any such expenses,
including all fees charged by the Escrow Agent, shall be immediately payable by
the Company at such time.
V. Authorized Signers; Reliance by Escrow Agent.
A. The Account Parties agree that they shall provide such resolutions or
certifications and other documents as may be necessary to establish the Account
on the Books of the Escrow Agent. The Account Parties agree to provide, on
Exhibit "A," the names and specimen signatures of those who are authorized to
issue notices and instructions to the Escrow Agent and execute required
documents under this Agreement ("Authorized Signers"). This includes the
authority to act under Articles VI (Investments and Income), VIII
(Disbursements) and XII (Right to Consult with Account Parties). The Escrow
Agent is not liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or
rights of persons executing or delivering, or purporting to execute or deliver,
any written document, notice or communication.
B. The Escrow Agent is entitled to rely on, and shall be fully protected in
relying on: (1) the instructions and notices from any one of the Authorized

authority is revoked in writing, or until successors have been appointed and
identified by notice in the manner described in Article XX, below, (2) any
notice, instruction, instrument, electronic or telephonic transmission, or
signature (including, without limitation, any faxed copy of any such notice,
instruction or instrument) believed by the Escrow Agent in good faith to be
genuine, valid and sufficient, and (3) the information contained in such notices
and instructions. The Escrow Agent has no obligation, duty or responsibility
whatsoever to investigate or determine the accuracy or truthfulness of the
information contained therein.
C. The Escrow Agent may, but is not obligated to, accept oral, electronic, or
facsimile notices and instructions from Authorized Signers. Authorized Signers
will provide the Escrow Agent with written confirmation of all oral notices and
instructions to the Escrow Agent, but the Escrow Agent need not await receipt of
written confirmation of any oral notice or instructions before acting upon them.
A failure on an Authorized Signer's part to provide the Escrow Agent with
written confirmation of any oral notices or instructions shall not invalidate
such notice or instructions, and the Escrow Agent shall incur no liability for
having acted in good faith in the absence of such written confirmation.
VI. Investments and Income.
A. The Escrow Agent shall invest the moneys deposited with the Escrow Agent (and
income earned thereon except as specified below), in government money market

It is understood and agreed that upon the request of any party to this
Agreement, any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind, whether in contract
or in tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable now existing or
hereinafter arising between the parties in any way arising out of, pertaining to
or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved through a two-step
dispute resolution process administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation
Services, Inc. ("J-A-M-S") as follows:
A. Step I - Mediation. At the request of any party to the dispute, claim or
controversy, the matter shall be referred to the nearest office of J-A-M-S for
mediation; that is, an informal, non-binding conference or conferences between
the parties in which a retired judge or justice for the J-A-M-S panel will seek
to guide the parties to a resolution of the case.
B. Step II - Arbitration. Should any dispute, claim or controversy remain
unresolved at the conclusion of the Step I Mediation Phase, then all such
remaining matters shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a
different judicial panelist, unless the parties shall agree to have the mediator
panelist act as arbitrator. The hearing shall be conducted at a location
determined by the arbitrator in Los Angeles, California, and shall be
administered by and in accordance with the then existing Rules of Practice and
Procedure of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Service, Inc., and judgment upon
any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any State or Federal
Court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall determine which is the
prevailing party and shall include in the award that party's reasonable
attorney's fees and costs.
As soon as practicable after selection of the arbitrator, the arbitrator or
his/her designated representative shall determine a reasonable estimate of
anticipated fees and costs of the arbitrator, and render a statement to each
party setting forth that party's pro-rata share of said fees and costs.
Thereafter, each party shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of the statement,
deposit the said sum with the arbitrator. Failure of any party to make such a
deposit shall result in a forfeiture by the non-depositing party of their right
to prosecute or defend the claim which is the subject of the arbitration, but
shall not otherwise serve to xxxxx, stay or suspend the arbitration proceedings.
C. Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. No provision of, or the
exercise of any right(s) under this Article XV, nor any other provision of the

of any party to exercise self-help remedies such as set off, to foreclose
against any real or personal property collateral, or obtain provisional or
ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief or the appointment of a receiver
from any court having jurisdiction before, during or after the pendency of any
arbitration. The institution and maintenance of an action for provisional
remedies, pursuit of provisional or ancillary remedies, or exercise of self help
remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the
plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration.
D. The Account Parties agree that any of the proceedings under this Article XV
shall, for the purposes of Section 47 of the California Civil Code, be a
judicial proceeding.
