Promissory Note by and among certain of the Parties of even date herewith (the

otherwise set forth herein, all capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement, the Note
or the Management Agreement, as applicable.
WHEREAS, the Parties have
entered into the Transaction Documents to provide for certain Transactions;
and
WHEREAS, the Transaction
Documents provide, inter
alia, for the placement into escrow of the Purchased Shares, the Note,
and the Subsidiary Shares (collectively, the “Escrowed Items”);
and
WHEREAS, the Parties agree to
place the Escrowed Items in escrow with the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent
agrees to hold and distribute the Escrowed Items, in accordance with the terms
of this Escrow Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:
ARTICLE
1
DEPOSITS
AND DISBURSEMENTS
Section
1.1. Receipt of Escrowed
Items. On
the Closing Date, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (i) the
Purchased Shares, in certificates for the amounts specified hereinafter,
together with executed assignments in blank and executed transfer instructions
instructing the transfer agent to transfer the shares represented by the
certificate in question to the designated person; (ii) the Note; and (iii) the
Subsidiary Shares, represented by one stock certificate, together with an
executed assignment in blank.
Section
1.2 Payments on the
Note.
(a) The
then Obligor for the Note shall pay to the Escrow Agent all Payments due on the

Nonpayment Event (as hereinafter defined), the Obligor responsible for the
Payments shall be Purchaser. Each Payment received by the Escrow
Agent shall be delivered by the Escrow Agent to Subsidiary by transfer of such
Payment to an account maintained by Subsidiary with Escrow Agent.
(b) If
the Escrow Agent does not receive a Payment from Purchaser by the applicable
Payment Date, the Escrow Agent promptly shall provide written notice by
facsimile to all Parties that the Payment has not been received (the “Nonpayment
Notice”). If the Payment is not received within five (5)

Escrow Agent shall deem the Note to have been transferred to Ball as
Obligor. In the event of timely notice of a dispute regarding the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Escrow Holder shall not transfer the Note
until the Escrow Agent either receives joint written instructions from Purchaser
and Ball regarding the Note or receives a copy of a written judgment of the
arbitrator hearing the dispute as to the resolution of such
dispute.
(d) Upon
receipt of the final Payment due with respect to the Note, the Escrow Agent

Purchaser, a certificate for 7,957,217 Purchased Shares. All
Purchased Shares not yet released to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)
shall be referred to sometimes as the “Remaining
Shares.” In the event that there is a dispute regarding the
existence of an Event of Default, any Purchased Shares otherwise to be released
to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.3(b) shall remain in Escrow pending the
resolution of the dispute as provided in Section 6.3 of the Note.

defined in the Note), ownership of the Subsidiary Shares shall transfer to Ball
in accordance with Section 1.04(c) of the Purchase
Agreement. If Escrow Agent receives written notice from a Party
that an Event of Default has occurred, the Escrow Agent shall provide written
notice thereof (the “Default
Notice”) to the other Parties. If any Party gives written
notice to Escrow Agent that it disputes the occurrence of an Event of Default
within ten (10) business days after Escrow Agent delivers the Default Notice,
the Escrow Agent will notify all Parties of the dispute, and it will be the
obligation of the Parties to resolve such dispute by mutual written agreement or
by the decision of an arbitrator pursuant to Section 11.09 of the Purchase
Agreement. A copy of any arbitration decision pursuant to Section
11.09 of the Purchase Agreement shall be delivered to Escrow Agent, and Escrow

Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the conditions for
the disbursement of funds or shares under this Escrow Agreement are not
fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders any service not contemplated in this
Escrow Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter
of this Escrow Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any
material controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to
any litigation pertaining to this Escrow Agreement or the subject matter hereof,
then the Escrow Agent also shall be compensated by such Parties for such
extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, occasioned by any such delay,
controversy, litigation or event. If any amount due to the Escrow
Agent hereunder is not paid within thirty (30) days of the date due, the Escrow
Agent in its sole discretion may charge interest on such amount up to the
highest rate permitted by applicable law.
Section
3.5. Disagreements. If
any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of
the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder
or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow
Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent is
authorized to retain the Escrow Items until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final
non-appealable arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Items, (ii)
receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such
disagreement or dispute directing delivery of the Escrow Items, in which event
the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Items in accordance
with such final court order, arbitration decision, or agreement, or (iii) files
an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the
filing thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the
Escrow Items and shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and
other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader
action. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act on any such
agreement, court order, or arbitration decision without further question,
inquiry, or consent.

corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger,
consolidation or transfer to which the Escrow Agent is a party, shall be and
become the successor escrow agent under this Escrow Agreement and shall have and
succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its
predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the
performance of any further act.

In the event that any Escrow Items shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Items, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, or which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction. In the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm or corporation, should, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding, such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or
conveyance or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally
or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and except as rights of
indemnity or contribution may be limited by federal or state laws or the public
policy underlying such laws.
2. Guaranty. Upon
the occurrence of a Nonpayment Event (as that term is defined in the Escrow
Agreement), in full satisfaction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, Guarantor
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Subsidiary a cash amount equal to one
half of the unpaid balance of the Note as of the date of the Nonpayment Event,

to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of
or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver

default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit,

any provisions or conditions of this Guaranty, must be in writing and shall be

hereto. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT UNDER THIS
SECTION, EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY

entitled to its reasonable costs and expenses in connection with such action,
including reasonable attorney’s fees.

(c) Severability. If
a court or an arbitrator of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this
Guaranty to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid in whole or in part for any
reason, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, to

(including without limitation Ball entering into the other Transaction

Subsidiary Shares (the “Irrevocable Proxy”) on all
matters for which the vote of the Subsidiary Shares is required or

proxy for IFRS with respect to the Subsidiary Shares, will (i) vote the IFRS Sub
Stock to elect Ball as sole director of Subsidiary, (ii) vote the IFRS Shares in
favor of any Subsidiary Distribution proposed by Ball pursuant to Article III

expenses.

II.
2.06 Compliance with Applicable
Law. Subsidiary
shall comply with all applicable law (except where such compliance, individually
and in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on Subsidiary or
IFRS). Such compliance will be at the sole expense of
Subsidiary. While Subsidiary is owned by IFRS, Subsidiary shall
provide IFRS with such IFRS as IFRS shall require to comply with IFRS’ legal
obligations under the federal securities laws and other applicable
laws. No Subsidiary Distribution shall be effected by Subsidiary in
violation of applicable law.

within fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in
the event of a Nonpayment or other Event of Default, the Subsidiary Distribution
shall commence within twenty-four (24) months after the Closing
Date. If a Subsidiary Distribution does not occur within the time
specified herein, any Party hereto may require a Subsidiary Distribution
pursuant to Section 4.06.
3.03 Sale of Assets
of Subsidiary to Ball. Provided that the fair
market value of the assets of Subsidiary is then less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000), as determined by an appraiser selected by Ball and reasonably
acceptable to the Board of Directors of IFRS, Ball shall have the right to
purchase the assets of Subsidiary, subject to indemnification by Ball of
Subsidiary and IFRS for any liabilities at such time of Subsidiary, and the net
proceeds therefrom shall be distributed to the Pre-Transactions IFRS
Stockholders as a Subsidiary Proceeds Distribution.
3.04 Co-Operation of IFRS with
Subsidiary Stock Distribution. In the event that a Subsidiary
Stock Distribution is effected by Subsidiary, IFRS shall reasonably cooperate
with Subsidiary in the effectuation thereof, provided, however, that all
expenses therefor shall be borne by Subsidiary.
3.05 Additional

without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof, as applied
to agreements entered into and to be performed in such state.
4.02 Amendment and Waiver. This
Management Agreement may be amended only if such amendment is set forth in a
writing executed by all Parties. Any provision of this Management
Agreement may be waived, provided that any such waiver shall be set forth in a
writing executed by all affected Parties.
4.03 Binding Agreement; Assignment.
This Management Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns; provided that, except as specifically provided
in this Management Agreement, neither this Management Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without
the prior written consent of the other Parties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of the death of Ball, his spouse may assume all rights
and obligations under this Management Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents by providing written notice to the Parties within thirty (30) days
after Ball’s death that she is assuming such rights and obligations under this

hereby agree to such assignment and assumption.

4.04 Counterparts; Facsimile
Execution. This Management Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of
which shall be considered one and the same Management Agreement. Execution and
delivery of this Management Agreement by facsimile shall be deemed to be
equivalent to the execution and delivery of an original.
4.05 No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided by this Management
Agreement, nothing herein is intended to confer upon any person or entity not a
party to this Management Agreement any rights or remedies under or by reason of
this Management Agreement.
4.06 Disputes.
(a) Arbitration; Attorney
Fees. Any dispute involving the interpretation,
application or enforcement of this Management Agreement shall be submitted to
binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association, whose rules
applicable to commercial disputes shall apply except as modified by this Section
4.06(a). The arbitration hearing shall take place in Las Vegas, Nevada before
one arbitrator, who shall be a retired judge (unless none is reasonably
available). The arbitrator shall comply with the provisions of
section 4.06(b) below, unless the parties to the arbitration consent otherwise.
The arbitrator shall submit a written finding of facts and conclusions of
law. The arbitrator shall have authority only to interpret and apply
provisions of this Management Agreement and shall have no authority to add to,
subtract from or modify terms of this Management Agreement except to the extent
otherwise provided in Section 4.06(c). The judgment of the arbitrator shall be
binding and may be entered as a final judgment by any court having jurisdiction
over the parties hereto. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
UNDER THIS SECTION, EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY ARBITRABLE CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM. In the event that any party to
this Management Agreement shall initiate arbitration based on this Management
Agreement, or take other permitted legal action for the enforcement or
interpretation of any of the provisions of this Management Agreement, including
such suit or action as may be necessary or germane to resolve or address any
issues peculiar to federal bankruptcy law, the prevailing party in such action
shall, in addition to whatever judgment is rendered or award granted on its
behalf, be entitled to its reasonable costs and expenses in connection with such
action, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
(b) Venue. Jurisdiction
and venue for any action will be in Las Vegas, Nevada.
(c) Severability. If
a court or an arbitrator of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this
Management Agreement to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid in whole or in part
for any reason, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if
possible, to achieve the intent of the parties to the extent possible, and in
any event the validity and enforceability of the remaining sections shall not be
affected unless an essential purpose of this Management Agreement would be
defeated by the loss of the illegal, unenforceable, or invalid
provision.
4.07 Survival. All
representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements (and exceptions thereto)
set forth in this Management Agreement shall survive the Closing
Date.
4.08 Injunctive
Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it would be
difficult to fully compensate a Party for damages resulting from the breach or
threatened breach of the provisions of Articles I, II and III and, accordingly,
that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to temporary and injunctive
relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunction and
permanent injunctions, granted by a court of competent jurisdiction, to enforce
these provisions upon proving that it has suffered or that there is a
substantial probability that it will suffer irreparable harm and without the
necessity of posting any bond or other undertaking in connection
therewith. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall
not, however, diminish the right of the non-breaching party to claim and recover
damages. Each party further acknowledges and agrees that it has
carefully read and considered the provisions of Articles I, II and III above
and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth therein are fair and
reasonable and reasonably required.

Agreement, the singular shall include the plural.

Agreement.
