This ESCROW AGREEMENT (the “Escrow Agreement”) is effective as of the ___ day of _______ 2020 by and among INUVO, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), the undersigned investor (the “Investor”) and PEARLMAN LAW GROUP LLP, a Florida limited liability partnership (the “Escrow Agent”).


RECITALS
 
WHEREAS, the Corporation is offering (the “Offering”) for sale to investors up to $245,000 of its shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to (a) an effective Registration Statement on Form S‐3, File No. 333-220317 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) (including the prospectus contained therein (the “Base Prospectus”), (b)  a Prospectus Supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”) containing certain supplemental information regarding the Shares and terms of the Offering that has been or will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (c) a Subscription Agreement by and between the Corporation and the Investor dated even herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”).  


WHEREAS, the Investor has subscribed for the number of Shares set forth opposite its name on the signature page of the Subscription Agreement.  


WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Investor have agreed that the Purchaser Aggregate Purchase Price (as that term is defined in the Subscription Agreement) of the Shares will be deposited in escrow (the “Escrow Amount”) to be distributed to the Corporation.


WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Investor asked the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent has agreed, to hold in escrow the Escrow Amount pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement.


NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


1.    Appointment of Escrow Agent.  The Corporation and the Investor hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as escrow agent upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment.  


2.Delivery of Escrow Property.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this Escrow Agreement by the Investor, the Investor shall deposit the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent in immediately available funds (the “Escrow Account”).  The Escrow Amount is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Escrow Property”.  This Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Account created hereunder shall not become effective unless and until the Escrow Property has been deposited with the Escrow Agent.

4.Release of Escrow Property.  The Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Property, at such time as the Escrow Agent has received Investor’s signature page to the Subscription Agreement and written instructions from the Corporation (the “Closing Notice”).  In the event the Escrow Agent does not receive a Closing Notice on or before April 3, 2020, the Escrow Property shall be returned to the Investor without interest or deduction.  Upon disbursement of the Escrow Property as set forth in this Section 4, the obligations of the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement shall terminate.  
5.Disbursement Into Court.  At any time, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in any court it deems appropriate, to determine ownership or disposition of the Escrow Property or it may deposit the Escrow Property with the clerk of any appropriate court or it may retain the Escrow Property pending receipt of a final, non‐appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the parties hereto directing to whom and under what circumstances the Escrow Property are to be disbursed and delivered.  During the pendency of any such action, the Escrow Agent may suspend the performance of any of its 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 have been appointed (as the case may be).  The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to the Corporation, the Investor or any other 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 Account or any delay in or with respect to any other action required or requested of Escrow Agent.  


6.Limitation of Responsibility and Liability and Duties of the Escrow Agent.  The acceptance by the Escrow Agent of its duties as such under this Escrow Agreement is subject to the following terms and conditions, which all parties to this Escrow Agreement hereby agree shall govern and control with respect to the rights, duties, liabilities and immunities of the Escrow Agent:


(a)The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error in judgment or mistake of law or fact, or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted by it, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any delay in delivering Escrow Property as required hereby, absent its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.


(b)The Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent other than itself), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons.  


(c)The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Escrow Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the Corporation and the Investor and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected by any such modification of or waiver under this Escrow Agreement, unless the Escrow Agent shall have given its prior written consent thereto.


(d)The Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depositary only, and shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy, the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible 


2







or liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property paid or delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof.


(e)The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the Corporation and the Investor, that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability for any action taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.


(f)The Escrow Agent shall be severally, and not jointly, indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation and the Investor, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, upon demand by the Escrow Agent, from and against any claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, (collectively, “Damages”) suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way directly or indirectly arises out of or relates to this Escrow Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, the monies or other property held by it hereunder or any such Damages.  Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall, if a claim in respect thereof shall be made against the other parties hereto, notify such parties thereof in writing; but the failure by the Escrow Agent to give such notice shall not relieve any party from any liability which such party may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder, except to the extent of actual prejudice demonstrated by such party.  The obligations of the Corporation and the Investor under this Section 6(f) shall survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation of the Escrow Agent.


(g)From time to time on and after the date hereof, the parties shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request (it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to make such request) to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Escrow Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.


(h)The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto prior written notice of at least seven (7) business days.  As soon as practicable after its resignation, the Escrow Agent shall turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by the other parties hereto, jointly, all of the Escrow Property held hereunder upon presentation of the document appointing the new escrow agent and its acceptance thereof.  If no new escrow agent is so appointed within the seven (7) day period following the giving of such notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Property with any court it deems appropriate.


(i)The Escrow Agent may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the opinion and instructions of such counsel, other than itself.


(j)The Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Property, without determination by the Escrow Agent of such court’s jurisdiction in the matter.  If any portion of the Escrow Property is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or 


3







delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the 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 (other than itself) is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if the 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.
