(b) If prior to 3:00

Agent.


 


(e)          The Escrow Agent
shall not be required to pay any uncollected funds or any funds that are not available for withdrawal.

that date. A Banking Day is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day that a New York State chartered bank is not legally
obligated to be opened.


 


3.          Acceptance by Escrow Agent.
The Escrow Agent hereby accepts and agrees to perform its obligations hereunder, provided that:


 


(a)          The Escrow Agent
may act in reliance upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and may assume that any person who has been designated by
Placement Agent or the Company to give any written instructions, notice or receipt, or make any statements in connection with the
provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall have no duty to make inquiry as to the genuineness, accuracy
or validity of any statements or instructions or any signatures on statements or instructions. The names and true signatures of
each individual authorized to act singly on behalf of the Company and Placement Agent are stated in Schedule II, which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Company and Placement Agent may each remove or add one or more of its authorized signers
stated on Schedule II by notifying the Escrow Agent of such change in accordance with this Agreement, which notice shall include
the true signature for any new authorized signatories.


 


 


(b)          The Escrow Agent
may act relative hereto in reliance upon advice of counsel in reference to any matter connected herewith. The Escrow Agent shall
not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or law, or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its
willful misconduct or gross negligence.


 


(c)          Placement Agent
and the Company agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, liabilities,
damages, suits, demands, judgments or expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) claimed against
or incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of or related, directly or indirectly, to this Escrow Agreement unless caused by the Escrow
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.


 






    	3



    	 



    
 


(d)          In the event
that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to (i) refrain
from taking any action other than to keep safely the Escrow Funds until it shall be directed otherwise by a court of competent
jurisdiction, or (ii) deliver the Escrow Funds to a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(e)          The Escrow Agent
shall have no duty, responsibility or obligation to interpret or enforce the terms of any agreement other than Escrow Agent’s
obligations hereunder, and the Escrow Agent shall not be required to make a request that any monies be delivered to the Escrow
Account, it being agreed that the sole duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent shall be to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law (i) to accept checks or other instruments for the payment of money and wire transfers delivered to the Escrow Agent
for the Escrow Account and deposit said checks and wire transfers into the non-interest bearing Escrow Account, and (ii) to disburse
or refrain from disbursing the Escrow Funds as stated above, provided that the checks received by the Escrow Agent have been collected
and are available for withdrawal.


 


4.          Escrow Account Statements and
Information. The Escrow Agent agrees to send to the Company and/or the Placement Agent a
copy of the Escrow Account periodic statement, upon request in accordance with the Escrow Agent’s regular practices
for providing account statements to its non-escrow clients and to also provide the Company and/or Placement
Agent, or their designee, upon request other deposit account information, including Account balances, by telephone or by computer
communication, to the extent practicable. The Company and Placement Agent agree to complete and sign all forms or agreements required
by the Escrow Agent for that purpose. The Company and Placement Agent each consent to the Escrow Agent’s release of such
Account information to any of the individuals designated by Company or Placement Agent, which designation has been signed in accordance
with paragraph 3(a) by any of the persons in Schedule II.  Further, the Company and Placement Agent have an option to receive
e-mail notification of incoming and outgoing wire transfers. If this e-mail notification service is requested and subsequently
approved by the Escrow Agent, the Company and Placement Agent agrees to provide a valid e-mail address and other information necessary
to set-up this service and sign all forms and agreements required for such service. The Company
and Placement Agent each consent to the Escrow Agent’s release of wire transfer information to the designated e-mail address(es).
The Escrow Agent’s liability for failure to comply with this section shall not exceed the cost of providing such information.


 


5.          Resignation and Termination of
the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice of such resignation
to Placement Agent and the Company. Upon providing such notice, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder except
to hold as depositary the Escrow Funds that it receives until the end of such 30-day period. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall
not take any action, other than receiving and depositing Investors checks and wire transfers in accordance with this Agreement,
until the Company has designated a banking corporation, trust company, attorney or other person as successor. Upon receipt of such
written designation signed by Placement Agent and the Company, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Escrow Funds to such
successor and shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder. If such instructions are not received within 30 days following
the effective date of such resignation, then the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Funds held by it pursuant to this Agreement
with a clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction pending the appointment of a successor. In either case provided for in this paragraph,
the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all liability thereafter arising with respect to
the Escrow Funds.


 






    	4



    	 



    
 


5.          Termination. The Company and
Placement Agent may terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder upon written notice specifying the date upon which
such termination shall take effect, which date shall be at least 30 days from the date of such notice. In the event of such termination,
the Company and Placement Agent shall, within 30 days of such notice, appoint a successor escrow agent and the Escrow Agent shall,
upon receipt of written instructions signed by the Company and Placement Agent, turn over to such successor escrow agent all of
the Escrow Funds; provided, however, that if the Company and Placement Agent fail to appoint a successor escrow agent
within such 30-day period, such termination notice shall be null and void and the Escrow Agent shall continue to be bound by all
of the provisions hereof. Upon receipt of the Escrow Funds, the successor escrow agent shall become the escrow agent hereunder
and shall be bound by all of the provisions hereof and Signature Bank shall be relieved of all further obligations and released
from all liability thereafter arising with respect to the Escrow Funds and under this Agreement.


 


6.          Investment. All funds received
by the Escrow Agent shall be invested only in non-interest bearing bank accounts at Signature Bank.


 


7.          Compensation.
Escrow Agent shall be entitled, for the duties to be performed by it hereunder, to a fee of $3,500, which fee shall be paid
by the Company upon the signing of this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse
Escrow Agent for all fees, costs and expenses incurred or that become due in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Account,
including reasonable attorney’s fees. Neither the modification, cancellation, termination or rescission of this Agreement
nor the resignation or termination of the Escrow Agent shall affect the right of Escrow Agent to retain the amount of any fee which
has been paid, or to be reimbursed or paid any amount which has been incurred or becomes due, prior to the effective date of any
such modification, cancellation, termination, resignation or rescission. To the extent the Escrow Agent has incurred any such expenses,
or any such fee becomes due, prior to any closing, the Escrow Agent shall advise the Company and the Company shall direct all such
amounts to be paid directly at any such closing.


 


8.          Notices. All notices, requests,
demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
