 WITNESSETH:  
  WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus, the Company desires to sell (the “Offering”) a minimum of 1,166,667 (“Minimum Amount”) shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (“Shares”) in the
amount of $7,000,000 (“Minimum Amount”) and a maximum of 1,333,334 of such shares in the amount of $8,000,000 (“Maximum Amount”). Each Share is being sold at a price of $6.00 per Share; and 
  WHEREAS, unless the Minimum Amount is sold by (the “Termination Date”), or by
                         (the “Final Termination Date”) if the Termination Date has been extended by Company and
the Underwriter, the Offering shall terminate and all funds shall be returned to the Investors in the Offering; and 
 WHEREAS, the
Company and Underwriter desire to establish an escrow account with the Escrow Agent into which the Company and Underwriter shall instruct Investors introduced to the Company by Underwriter (the “Investors”) to deposit checks and
other instruments for the payment of money made payable to the order of “Signature Bank as Escrow Agent for Spheric Technologies, Inc.,” and Escrow Agent is willing to accept said checks and other instruments for the payment of money in
accordance with the terms hereinafter set forth; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Underwriter represent and warrant to the Escrow Agent
that they have not stated to any individual or entity that the Escrow Agent’s duties will include anything other than those duties stated in this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Underwriter warrant to the Escrow Agent that a copy of each document that has been delivered to Investors and third parties that include Escrow Agent’s name and duties, has been
attached hereto as Schedule I. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED as follows: 
 1. Delivery of Escrow Funds. 
 (a) Underwriter and the Company shall instruct Investors to deliver to Escrow Agent checks made payable to the order of “Signature Bank, as Escrow Agent for Spheric Technologies, Inc.,” or wire transfer to Signature Bank, 261
Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016, ABA No. 026013576 for credit to Signature Bank, as Escrow Agent for Spheric Technologies, Inc., Account No., in each case, with the name, address and social security number or taxpayer identification number
of the individual or entity making payment. In the event any Subscriber’s address and/or social security number or taxpayer identification number are not provided to Escrow Agent by the Subscriber, then Underwriter and/or the Company agree to
promptly provide Escrow Agent with such information in writing. The checks or wire transfers shall be deposited into a non interest-bearing account at Signature Bank entitled “Signature Bank, as Escrow Agent for Spheric Technologies, Inc.”
(the “Escrow Account”). The Underwriter shall promptly 








 
deliver to the Escrow Agent all monies which it receives from prospective purchasers of the Shares by noon of the next business day following receipt of such
monies by the Underwriter. 
 (b) The collected funds deposited into the Escrow Account are referred to as the “Escrow
Funds.” 
 (c) The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to enforce the collection or demand payment of any funds
deposited into the Escrow Account. If, for any reason, any check deposited into the Escrow Account shall be returned unpaid to the Escrow Agent, the sole duty of the Escrow Agent shall be to return the check to the Subscriber and advise the Company
and Underwriter promptly thereof. 
 2. Release of Escrow Funds. The Escrow Funds shall be paid by the Escrow Agent in
accordance with the following: 
 (a) In the event that the Company and Underwriter advise the Escrow Agent in writing that
the Offering has been terminated (the “Termination Notice”), the Escrow Agent shall promptly return the funds paid by each Subscriber to said Subscriber without interest or offset. 
 (b) If prior to 3:00 P.M. Eastern time on the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent receives written notice, in the form of Exhibit A,
attached hereto and made a part hereof, and signed by the Company and Underwriter, stating that the Termination Date has been extended to the Final Termination Date, then the Termination Date shall be so extended. 
  (c) Provided that the Escrow Agent does not receive the Termination Notice in accordance with paragraph 2(a) and there is the Minimum
Amount deposited into the Escrow Account on or prior to later of the Termination Date or the date stated in the Extension Notice, if any, received by the Escrow Agent in accordance with paragraph 2(b) above, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify
the Company and the Underwriter that the Minimum Amount has been deposited and cleared banking channels, and then upon receipt of written instructions, in the form of Exhibit B, attached hereto and made a part hereof, or in a form and substance
satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, received from the Company and Underwriter, pay the Escrow Funds in accordance with such written instructions, such payment or payments to be made by wire transfer within one (1) business day of receipt of such
written instructions. Such instructions must be received by the Escrow Agent no later than 3:00 PM Eastern Time on a Banking Day for the Escrow Agent to process such instructions that Banking Day. Such instructions will not be provided by the
Company and Underwriter unless they have received confirmation from the NASDAQ Capital Market that the securities that are the subject of the Prospectus will be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. 
  (d) If by (x) 3:00 pm Eastern time on the Termination Date or the date stated in the Extension Notice, if any, that the Escrow Agent
has received in accordance with paragraph 2(b) above, the total amount of the Escrow Funds is less than the Minimum Amount, or (y) 3:00 pm Eastern Time on the tenth day after the Termination Date or the date stated in the Extension Notice, if
any, that the Escrow Agent has received in accordance with paragraph 2(b) above, the Escrow Agent has not received written instructions from the Company and the Underwriter regarding the disbursement of the Escrow Funds, then the Escrow Agent shall
promptly return the Escrow Funds to the Investors without interest or offset. The Escrow Funds returned to each Subscriber shall be free and clear of any and all claims of the Escrow Agent. 
 (e) The Escrow Agent shall not be required to pay any uncollected funds or any funds that are not available for withdrawal. 
 (f) If the Termination Date, Final Termination Date or any date that is a deadline under this Agreement for giving the Escrow Agent notice
or instructions or for the Escrow Agent to take action is not a Banking Day, then such date shall be the Banking Day that immediately preceding 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 Underwriter 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 Underwriter are stated in Schedule II, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Company and Underwriter 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) Underwriter 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. 
 (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. 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 Underwriter 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 Underwriter 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. 
 5. Termination. The Company and Underwriter 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 Underwriter 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 Underwriter, turn over to such successor escrow agent all of the Escrow Funds; provided, however, that if the Company and Underwriter









 
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.
