RELEASE OF TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND ESCROWED FUNDS
   
  2.1. Release of Escrow. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.1(d) and 3.2, the Escrow Agent shall release the Transaction Documents and Escrowed Funds as follows:
   
  (a) Release of Transaction Documents and Escrowed Funds upon Closing. Prior to each Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent written instructions ("Instructions") executed by a duly authorized executive officer of the Company which Instructions shall provide the day designated as the Closing date for certain identified subscribers and authorization to arrange for the issuance of Notes to such subscribers as soon as practicable after Closing. The Instructions will also contain the Company's acknowledgement and agreement that as of the Closing, the Closing Conditions have been or will be fully satisfied as to the identified subscribers and shall specify the time, place and method of delivery of the Transaction Documents and Escrowed Funds. Prior to each Closing, the Company shall also deliver to the Escrow Agent, such instruction letter and other documentation required for the issuance of the Notes being closed on at such Closing. The Escrow Agent shall, at the time and place and by the method specified in the Instructions, deliver the Transaction Documents and Escrowed Funds to the Company and arrange with the Company for the issuance of Notes being closed on to the applicable subscribers.
   
  (b) Return of Escrowed Funds on Termination of Offering. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice executed by a duly authorized executive officer of the Company indicating that Offering has been terminated and designating a termination date, the Escrow Agent shall return to each Subscriber, the Purchase Price (without interest or deduction) and Transaction Documents delivered by such Subscriber to the Escrow Agent. The Company shall provide the Escrow Agent with time, place and method of delivery for each Subscriber whose purchase price and Transaction Documents the Escrow Agent is to deliver pursuant to this Section.
   
  (c) Return of Escrowed Funds and Transaction Documents on Rejection of Subscription. In the event the Company reasonably determines it is necessary or appropriate to reject the subscription of any Subscriber for whom the Escrow Agent has received Escrowed Funds and Transaction Documents, the Company shall deliver written notice of such event to the Escrow Agent which notice shall include the reason for such rejection and the time, place and method of delivery for the return to such Subscriber of the Purchase Price and Transaction Documents delivered by such Subscriber. The Escrow Agent shall deliver such funds (without interest or deduction) and documents pursuant to such written notice.
   
  (d) Delivery Pursuant to Court Order. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a final and non-appealable judgment, order, decree or award of a court of competent jurisdiction (a "Court Order"), the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Transaction Documents and the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the Court Order. Any Court Order shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel for the party presenting the Court Order to the Escrow Agent (which opinion shall be satisfactory to the Escrow Agent) to the effect that the court issuing the Court Order has competent jurisdiction and that the Court Order is final and non-appealable.

  (a) The Company and the Subscribers acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent (i) shall not be responsible for or bound by, and shall not be required to inquire into whether the Company is entitled to receipt of the Transaction Documents or Escrowed Funds pursuant to any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically assumed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, instrument, statement, request or document furnished to it hereunder and believed by the Escrow Agent in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or party, without being required to determine the authenticity or correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof; (iv) may assume that any person believed by the Escrow Agent in good faith to be authorized to give notice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof is so authorized; (v) shall not be under any duty to give the property held by the Escrow Agent hereunder any greater degree of care than the Escrow Agent gives its own similar property, but in no event less than a reasonable amount of care; and (vi) may consult counsel satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, the opinion of such counsel to be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Escrow Agent hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
   
  (b) The Company and the Subscribers acknowledge that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by the Escrow Agent in good faith and believed by the Escrow Agent to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon the Escrow Agent by this Agreement. The Company and the Subscribers agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and any of the Escrow Agent's partners, employees, agents and representatives for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Escrow Agent or any of them hereunder, including the fees of outside counsel and other costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability under this Agreement, except in the case of gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement on the Escrow Agent's part committed in its capacity as the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Company and the Subscribers under this Agreement and to no other person.

  (c) The Escrow Agent may at any time resign as the Escrow Agent hereunder by giving five days prior written notice of resignation to the Company. Prior to the effective date of the resignation as specified in such notice, the Company will issue to the Escrow Agent an Instruction authorizing delivery of the Transaction Documents and the Escrowed Funds to a substitute escrow agent selected by the Company. If no successor escrow agent is named by the Company, the Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York for appointment of a successor escrow agent, and to deposit the Transaction Documents and Escrowed Funds with the clerk of any such court.
   
  (d) The Escrow Agent does not have and will not have any interest in the Transaction Documents or the Escrowed Funds, but is serving only as escrow agent, having only possession thereof.
   
  (e) This Agreement sets forth exclusively the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent thereto, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement.
   
  (f) The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive the resignation of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.
   
  3.2. Dispute Resolution; Judgments. Resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
   
  (a) If any dispute shall arise with respect to the delivery, ownership, right of possession or disposition of the Transaction Documents or the Escrowed Funds, or if the Escrow Agent shall in good faith be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be authorized, without liability to anyone, to (i) refrain from taking any action other than to continue to hold the Transaction Documents or the Escrowed Funds pending receipt of an Instruction from the Company, or (ii) deposit the Transaction Documents and Escrowed Funds with any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, in which event the Escrow Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Company and shall thereupon be relieved and discharged from all further obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, institute or defend any legal proceedings which relate to the Transaction Documents or the Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to retain counsel if it becomes involved in any disagreement, dispute or litigation on account of this Agreement or otherwise determines that it is necessary to consult counsel.
   
  (b) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey any Court Order. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with a Court Order, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Subscribers, the Company or to any other person, firm, corporation or entity by reason of such compliance.
   
  3.3. Fees and Expenses of Escrow Agent. The Company shall pay the Escrow Agent a fee for serving as Escrow Agent of $1,500 payable at the Initial Closing. The Company shall also reimburse the Escrow Agent for all of its out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, telephone and facsimile transmission costs, postage (including express mail and overnight delivery charges), copying charges and the like, incurred or that become due in connection with this Agreement or the escrow account. Neither the modification, cancellation, termination or rescission of this Agreement nor the resignation or termination of the Escrow Agent shall affect the right of the 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. If no Closing is held, the Escrow Agent shall advise the Company of any such fees, and the Company shall direct all such amounts to be promptly paid.
