    RECITALS

    


    A. The
Pledgor is the Chief Executive Officer and a principal stockholder of Amber
Alert Safety Centers, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).

    


    B. The
Company is desirous of concluding a private offering of its secured three year
convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”)
to a number of “accredited investors” (the “Investors”), as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

    


    C. To induce
the Investors to purchase the Convertible Notes, the Pledgor has agreed to
guarantee the attainment by the Company of a certain customer and revenue target
(the “Target”),
pursuant to a guarantee of even date herewith (the “Guarantee”) and to
grant a security interest, pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement of even
date herewith (the “Pledge Agreement”)
(capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Pledge Agreement), in 13,814,000 shares (the
“Pledged
Securities”) of the common stock, $0.0001 per share, of the Company owned
by Pledgor, to secure the attainment of the Target.

    


    D. Upon the
execution and delivery of the Pledge Agreement, Pledgor is required to deliver
to the Escrow Agent all certificates evidencing the Pledged Securities (the
“Certificates”)
and stock powers with respect to the Pledged Securities duly endorsed in blank
(together with the certificates, the “Escrow Documents”);
and

    


    E. The
parties hereto hereby agree that their respective rights to the escrow documents
will be governed by the terms hereof.

    


    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants and agreements contained in the Agreement herein, the parties
agree as follows:

    


    1. Concurrently
with or prior to the execution of this Escrow Agreement, Pledgor has delivered
the Escrow Documents to Escrow Agent.

    


    2. The
Escrow Documents shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent at such location as
Escrow Agent shall select until delivered to JTF or Pledgor in accordance with
the terms hereof.

receipt of a written notice from JTF and Pledgor to release the Escrow
Documents, or a portion thereof, to either JTF or Pledgor, or as otherwise
jointly directed by JTF and Pledgor, the Escrow Agent shall promptly thereafter
deliver the Escrow Documents, or a portion thereof, as directed by JTF and
Pledgor.

    


    (b)           If
the Escrow Agent receives notice from JTF (“JTF Notice”)
requesting release of the Escrow Documents, or a portion thereof, Escrow Agent
shall promptly forward the JTF Notice to Pledgor.  If the Escrow Agent
does not receive written notice from Pledgor contesting the instructions
provided in the JTF Notice within ten (10) days after Pledgor’s receipt thereof
from the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Documents, or a
portion thereof, in accordance with the instructions provided for in the JTF
Notice.

requesting release of the Escrow Documents, or a portion thereof, Escrow Agent
shall promptly forward the Pledgor Notice to JTF.  If the Escrow Agent
does not receive written notice from JTF contesting the instructions provided in

    4. Should
any party (other than Escrow Agent) institute any action or proceeding to
enforce this Agreement or any provision hereof, or for damages by reason of any
alleged breach of this Escrow Agreement or of any provision hereof, or for a
declaration of rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action or
proceeding shall be entitled to receive from the other party all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party
in connection with such action or proceeding and the enforcement of any judgment
issued in connection therewith or settlement thereof.  This provision

Agreement.

    


    5. Notwithstanding

    6. If any
dispute concerning (a) receipt or disbursement of the Escrow Documents then held
hereunder and/or (b) this Escrow Agreement arises between any of the parties
hereto, or if Escrow Agent is uncertain as to Escrow Agent’s obligations
hereunder, Escrow Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to refrain
from taking any action other than to continue to hold the Escrow Documents then
held hereunder in escrow until otherwise directed by a final order or judgment
of a New York State Court or by a written agreement signed by the parties
hereto.

    


    7. Escrow
Agent may assume the genuineness of any document or signature which appears to
Escrow Agent to be genuine (whether or not original or
photocopy).  Escrow Agent shall have no obligations other than those
specifically set forth herein.  Escrow Agent shall have no liability
to any party hereto except with respect to actions or omissions taken or
suffered by Escrow Agent in willful disregard of this Escrow Agreement or
involving gross negligence.

    8. Escrow
Agent shall not be obligated to, but may, institute legal proceedings of any
kind that it deems in its reasonable judgment to be necessary or appropriate,
including but not limited to a legal proceeding or action in a court of
competent jurisdiction to determine Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder or to
seek permission to surrender the Escrow Documents in court and be relieved of
all further obligations hereunder.

    


    9. The
signatories hereto acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a
stakeholder at their request and for their convenience; that Escrow Agent shall
not be deemed to be the agent of any of the parties; and that Escrow Agent shall
not be liable to any of the parties hereto for any act or omission on Escrow
Agent’s part unless taken or suffered in willful disregard of this Escrow
Agreement or involving gross negligence.

    


    10. Any
notice or other communication hereunder shall be sent by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, or sent by an overnight express delivery service
(e.g. Federal Express) or by messenger (requiring the signature of the recipient
thereof), to the party for which intended at the address first stated above for
that party or at such other address of which that party gives notice as provided
herein with copies simultaneously sent by like delivery or fax to Escrow Agent.
Notices shall be deemed given on the date said notice is
received.  Escrow Agent’s address for serving any notice or other
communication hereunder on Escrow Agent is as first stated above (Attention:
Mitchell Schuster, Esq.) and any such notice or communication shall be sent as
provided in the preceding sentence.

    


    11. Escrow
Agent may resign hereunder (i) upon 10 days’ written notice to the parties
hereto, subject to the appointment of a substitute escrow agent by the parties
hereto and the acceptance by the substitute escrow agent of such appointment, or
(ii) following the petitioning of a court of competent jurisdiction seeking the
appointment of a substitute escrow agent, upon the appointment by such court of
a substitute escrow agent and the acceptance by such court appointed substitute
escrow agent of such appointment, or (iii) upon the surrender of the Escrow
Documents then held by Escrow Agent with any court having
jurisdiction.

    


    12. This
Escrow Agreement shall terminate upon Escrow Agent’s delivery of all of the
Escrow Documents held hereunder or the transfer of such Escrow Documents to a
substitute escrow agent or a court of competent jurisdiction, in either case,
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement, whether to the
parties provided for herein, or in the case of the transfer of the Escrow
Documents then held hereunder, to a substitute escrow agent or a court of
competent jurisdiction or to such other persons as shall be lawfully entitled to
same, whereupon Escrow Agent’s obligations, responsibilities and liability
hereunder shall terminate.

    


    13. The
signatories hereto acknowledge the fact that Escrow Agent, as a law firm,
represents JTF, and Pledgor irrevocably waives any conflict of interest arising
therefrom, and hereby consents to Meister Seelig & Fein LLP acting as
attorney on behalf of JTF, its principals and/or the Escrow Agent, including in
a dual capacity, in any dispute as to the delivery of any of the Escrow
Documents or any other dispute between the parties relating to this Escrow
Agreement, or otherwise, whether or not Escrow Agent is then in possession of
the Escrow Documents.

    14. JTF and
Pledgor, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for,
and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by

connection with any actions taken by it or any omission by it in connection with

hereunder, except if incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Escrow Agent.  The provisions of this Section 14 shall

be entitled to compensation at its customary rates for all services and
disbursements rendered or incurred by it under this Escrow
Agreement.

agreements, oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

    


    16. If any

person or circumstance shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other
provision of this Escrow Agreement or the application of the invalid provision
in circumstances in which same would be valid, it being agreed that the
provisions of this Escrow Agreement are severable.
