4. Release of the Escrow.
a. Shares of Common Stock shall be released from the
Escrow in such number, to such persons or entities and at such times as are
specified in the written instructions that the Company or the Purchaser shall
provide from time to time to the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Instructions"). The
Company or the Purchaser shall provide the Escrow Instructions in accordance
with and as provided in Exhibit A hereto and such Escrow Instructions from the
Purchaser or, if applicable, from the Company shall contain a certification that

Company (or, if applicable, its transfer agent) shall issue stock certificates
in accordance with such Escrow Instructions and deliver the stock certificates
to the applicable persons and/or entities and deliver a certificate for any
balance to the Escrow Agent, in the name of the Purchaser.
b. If either the Company or the Purchaser gives
written notice to the other and the Escrow Agent disputing any Escrow
Instructions (a "Counter Notice") within 20 days following the date the Escrow
Instructions are delivered to the other party, such dispute shall be resolved as
provided in Section 4(c). If no Counter Notice is received by the Escrow Agent
within such 20-day period, then the Escrow Instructions shall be deemed mutually
agreed to for purposes of this Agreement at the end of such 20-day period. The
Escrow Agent shall not inquire into or consider whether the Escrow Instructions
comply with the requirements of the Stock Purchase Agreement or the calculations
set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
c. If a Counter Notice is received, the Escrow Agent

with (i) joint written instructions of the Company and the Purchaser or (ii) a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any court order
shall be accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party
satisfactory to the Escrow Agent to the effect that the order is final and
non-appealable. The Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with such court order
and legal opinion without further question.
d. Notwithstanding the above, the Escrow Agent shall
not release to the Purchaser any of the Common Stock from the Escrow pursuant to
this Section 4 unless and until the Purchaser either (i) exercises its right to
have the Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company (the "Redemption Right") as
provided in the Amended Certificate (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement)
or (ii) waives the Redemption Right through the conversion of the Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Amended Certificate; provided, however,
that, if the Purchaser exercises its Redemption Right and the payment is made
pursuant to Section 3 of the Amended Certificate, the Purchaser shall not be
entitled to any of the Common Stock released from the Escrow and such Common
Stock shall be distributed to the Pre-Closing Shareholders (as defined below) in
accordance with Section 4(e). As applicable, the Company or the Purchaser shall
provide Escrow Instructions in accordance with the foregoing promptly upon the
exercise or waiver of the Redemption Right.
e. For purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow
Instructions, "Pre-Closing Shareholders" shall mean any shareholders owning
stock in the Company both immediately prior to the date hereof and as certified

Escrow Instructions are provided to the Escrow Agent. Any time a distribution is
earned back or required to be made to the Pre-Closing Shareholders pursuant to
this Agreement and Exhibit A hereto, it shall be made to the Pre-Closing
Shareholders that still own shares of the Company's Common Stock on the date the
Escrow Instructions are provided to the Escrow Agent in proportion to the number
of shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by each Pre-Closing Shareholder as
of the close of business on the date the Escrow Instructions are provided to the
Escrow Agent up to but not exceeding the number of shares owned by each such
Pre-Closing Shareholder immediately prior to the date hereof.
5. Matters Relating to the Escrow Agent.
a. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such
duties expressly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. In acting hereunder, the
Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted to be done, by it
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
b. The Escrow Agent may only act on and rely upon the
Escrow Instructions to which no objection has been received pursuant to Section
4, or such other joint written instructions received from the Company and the
Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(c); provided, however, that the Escrow Agent may
also rely upon a final non-appealable court order as provided in Section 4(c).
The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any such writings or instruments or
any signatures thereon which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, and may
assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such
writings or instruments and may assume that any person purporting to give any
writing, notice, advice or instruction in connection with the provisions hereof
has been duly authorized to do so.
c. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with
legal counsel in the event that a question or dispute arises with regard to the
construction of any of the provisions hereof, and shall incur no liability and
shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the advice or opinion of
such counsel.
d. The Company shall pay to the Escrow Agent an
initial fee of $1500 and $2000 per year thereafter for its services hereunder.
In the event the Escrow Agent renders any extraordinary services in
connection with the Escrow at the request of the parties, the Escrow Agent shall
be entitled to additional compensation therefor. The Escrow Agent shall have a
first lien against the Escrow to secure the obligations of the Company
hereunder. The terms of this paragraph shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
e. The Company and the Purchaser, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and
against all liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in
equity, and any other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature,
including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, which the Escrow Agent
may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as escrow
agent under this Agreement or arising out of the existence of the Escrow, except
to the extent the same shall be caused by the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In so agreeing to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the
Escrow Agent, the parties intend thereby to cover all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, and
counsel fees and disbursements, which may be imposed upon the Escrow Agent or
incurred in connection with its acceptance of appointment as escrow agent
hereunder or the performing of its duties hereunder, including any litigation
arising from this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have a first lien against
the Escrow to secure the obligations of the Company hereunder. As between the
Company and the Purchaser, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover any
amounts paid with respect to the indemnification of the Escrow Agent. The terms
of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
f. In the event the Escrow Agent receives conflicting
instructions hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in refraining
from acting until such conflict is resolved to the satisfaction of the Escrow
Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action
contemplated by this Agreement in the event that it becomes aware of any
disagreement between the parties hereto as to any material facts or as to the
happening of any contemplated event precedent to such action, but the Escrow
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge thereof unless and until it has
received notice thereof from any party hereto. The Escrow Agent shall have the
right at any time it deems appropriate to seek an adjudication in a court of
competent jurisdiction as to the respective rights of the parties hereto and
shall not be held liable by any party hereto for any delay or the consequences
of any delay occasioned by such resort to the court. In addition, the Escrow
Agent shall have the right to institute a xxxx of interpleader in any court of
competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties, and the parties
shall pay all costs, expenses and disbursements in connection therewith,
including attorneys' fees.
g. The Escrow Agent may resign as such following the
giving of thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the other parties hereto.
Similarly, the Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced following the giving of
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Escrow Agent by the Company and
the Purchaser. In either event, the duties of the Escrow Agent shall terminate
thirty (30) days after the date of such notice (or as of such earlier date as
may be mutually agreeable), and the Escrow Agent shall then deliver the balance
of the Escrow then in its possession to a successor escrow agent as shall be
appointed by the Company and the Purchaser as evidenced by a written notice
filed with the Escrow Agent.
If the Company and the Purchaser are unable to agree upon a
successor or shall have failed to appoint a successor prior to the expiration of
thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of resignation or removal, the
Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appropriate relief. Any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of
the parties hereto.
Upon acknowledgment by any successor escrow agent of the
receipt of the then remaining balance of the Escrow, the Escrow Agent shall be
fully released and relieved of all duties, responsibilities, and obligations
under this Agreement.
6. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, or other
communication permitted or required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall

EXHIBIT B: EXAMPLE OF CALCULATION
Example Scenario Assumptions
- Company has completed an IPO and is out of an IPO lock-up before the
four-year anniversary of closing.
- Company has reached a "Deemed Market Cap" of $700 million in the sixteenth
quarter which Deemed Market Cap is higher than any prior quarter, such that
none of the threshold levels for escrow release in Exhibit C were previously
achieved.
- Market Cap = $750,000,000
- TFS = Total Fully-Diluted Shares = 28,546,662
Results
- Shares held in escrows A1 & A2 (1,085,514 shares total) are earned back by
the Pre-Closing Shareholders (and therefore immediately released from Escrow
to the Pre-Closing Shareholders), but not escrows B1 & B2.
- Escrow Shares = 1,085,514
- Escrows Left = 1
- Therefore, escrow shares distributed to the Investor at the end of year four:
( ( ( ( (DeemedMktCap - $500m ) )) (1,552,450 ) ) )
( ($60m + ($3.75m x (# EscrowsLeft) x Min (Max(--------------------,0),1))-(---------x MktCap) ) )
( ( ( ( ( $800m ) )) ( TFS ) ) )
Max (Min(-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------,1),0) x EscrowShares
( ( EscrowShares ) )
( ( ------------x MktCap ) )
( ( TFS ) )
( ( ( ( ($700m - $500m ) )) ( 1,552,450 ) ) )
( ($60m + ($3.75m x 1 x Min (Max(-------------,0),1))-(----------x $750m) ) )
( ( ( ( ( $800m ) )) (28,546,662 ) ) )
Max (Min(----------------------------------------------------------------------------,1),0) x 1,085,514
( ( 1,085,514 ) )
( ( ------------x $750m ) )
( ( 28,546,662 ) )
( ($60m + ($3.75m x Min(Max(0.25,0),1)) - (0.054383 x $750m) ) )
Max(Min(---------------------------------------------------------,1),0) x 1,085,514
( ( 0.038026 x $750m ) )
( ($60m + ($3.75m x 0.25) - ($40,787,168) ) )
Max(Min(--------------------------------------,1),0) x 1,085,514
( ( $28,519,464 ) )
( ($20,150,332 ) )
Max(Min(-----------,1),0) x 1,085,514
( ($28,519,464 ) )
0.706547 x 1,085,514 = 766,966
and the remaining 318,548 escrow shares are distributed to the Pre-Closing
Shareholders.
