Agent); or
(iii) The date upon which a determination is made by the
Company and the Investor(s) to terminate the Offering prior to the sale of all
the Convertible Debentures.

Written Direction directing the Escrow Agent to disburse the Escrow Funds
pursuant to Joint Written Direction signed by the Company and the Investor(s).
In disbursing such funds, Escrow Agent is authorized to rely upon such Joint
Written Direction from the Company and the Investor(s) and may accept any
signatory from the Company listed on the signature page to this Agreement and
any signature from the Investor(s) that the Escrow Agent already has on file.

all claims of the Company, the Investor(s) or any of their creditors.
c. In the event Escrow Agent does receive the amount of the Escrow
Funds prior to expiration of the Escrow Period, in no event will the Escrow

notify the Company of such return.
If the Company rejects any subscription for which the Escrow Agent has
already collected funds, Escrow Agent shall promptly issue a refund check or
wire to the rejected subscriber. If the Company rejects any subscription for
which Escrow Agent has not yet collected funds but has submitted the
subscriber's wire for collection, Escrow Agent shall promptly issue a check or
wire the amount of the subscriber's wire to the rejected subscriber after Escrow
Agent has cleared such funds. If Escrow Agent has not yet submitted a rejected
subscriber's wire for collection, Escrow Agent shall promptly remit the
subscriber's wire directly to the subscriber. The Company shall provide payment
instructions to Escrow Agent.
7. SUSPENSION OF PERFORMANCE: DISBURSEMENT INTO COURT. If at any time,
there shall exist any dispute between the Company and the Investor(s) with
respect to holding or disposition of any portion of the Escrow Funds or any
other obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder, or if at any time Escrow Agent is
unable to determine, to Escrow Agent's sole satisfaction, the proper disposition
of any portion of the Escrow Funds or Escrow Agent's proper actions with respect
to its obligations hereunder, or if the parties have not within thirty (30) days
of the furnishing by Escrow Agent of a notice of resignation pursuant to Section
3
9 hereof, appointed a successor Escrow Agent to act hereunder, then Escrow Agent
may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions:
a. suspend the performance of any of its obligations (including
without limitation any disbursement obligations) under this Escrow Agreement
until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole satisfaction of
Escrow Agent or until a successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed (as the case
may be); provided however, Escrow Agent shall continue to invest the Escrow
Funds in accordance with Section 8 hereof; and/or
b. petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other
appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction in any venue convenient
to Escrow Agent, for instructions with respect to such dispute or uncertainty,
and to the extent required by law, pay into such court, for holding and
disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court, all funds held by
it in the Escrow Funds, after deduction and payment to Escrow Agent of all fees
and expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) payable to, incurred
by, or expected to be incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with performance of
its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder.
c. Escrow Agent shall have no liability to the Company, the
Investor(s), or any person with respect to any such suspension of performance or
disbursement into court, specifically including any liability or claimed
liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of
any delay in the disbursement of funds held in the Escrow Funds or any delay in
with respect to any other action required or requested of Escrow Agent.
8. INVESTMENT OF ESCROW FUNDS. Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow
Funds in a non-interest bearing money market account.

that an investment decision must be made, Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow
Funds, or such portion thereof, as to which no Joint Written Direction has been
received, in investments described above. The foregoing investments shall be
made by Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained, Escrow
Agent may, without notice to the parties, sell or liquidate any of the foregoing
investments at any time if the proceeds thereof are required for any release of
funds permitted or required hereunder, and Escrow Agent shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss, cost or penalty resulting from any such sale or
liquidation. With respect to any funds received by Escrow Agent for deposit into
the Escrow Funds or any Joint Written Direction received by Escrow Agent with
respect to investment of any funds in the Escrow Funds after ten o'clock, a.m.,
New Jersey time, Escrow Agent shall not be required to invest such funds or to
effect such investment instruction until the next day upon which banks in New
Jersey are open for business.
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 Written Direction
to Escrow Agent, at any time by the giving of ten (10) days' prior written
notice to Escrow Agent as provided herein below. Upon any such notice of
resignation or removal, the representatives of the Investor(s) and the Company
identified in Sections 13a.(iv) and 13b.(iv), below, jointly shall appoint a
4
successor Escrow Agent hereunder, which shall be a commercial bank, trust
company or other financial institution with a combined capital and surplus in
excess of $10,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance in writing of any appointment of
Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow 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
Agreement, but shall not be discharged from any liability for actions taken as
Escrow Agent hereunder prior to such succession. After any retiring 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. The retiring Escrow Agent shall
transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Funds and shall pay all funds held
by it in the Escrow Funds to the successor Escrow Agent, after making copies of
such records as the retiring Escrow Agent deems advisable and after deduction
and payment to the retiring Escrow Agent of all fees and expenses (including
court costs and attorneys' fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be
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.
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
5
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

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
6
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, under the Placement Agency Agreement.
