Shares to the closing agents specified in the associated stock purchase
agreements; but only if a closing agent was specified in the purchase agreement

                          ARTICLE 5. GENERAL PROVISIONS

5.1 All parties understand and agree that Escrow Agent is not a principal,
participant, or beneficiary of the underlying transaction that necessitates this
Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance
of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting on any instrument believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties, their officers, representatives or agents. The Escrow Agent shall not
be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it
to be authorized hereby, nor for action taken or omitted by it in accordance
with the advice of its counsel. Escrow Agent shall be responsible for holding,
investing and disbursing the Escrowed Assets pursuant to the Escrow Agreement,
but in no event shall be liable for any exemplary or consequential damages in
excess of Escrow Agent's fee hereunder.

5.2 Unless otherwise provided herein, the Escrow Agent shall accept the Escrowed
Assets pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and invest such assets at the written
request of the parties hereto specifying with particularity or by accompanying
schedule the type and identity of the assets to be deposited. Acceptance of the
Escrowed Assets shall be communicated by Escrow Agent to parties by account
statement or otherwise in writing as soon as practicable after receipt, and any
discrepancies shall be noted to Escrow Agent by the parties in writing within
forty five (45) days of receiving such communication. Failure to note any
discrepancies shall be deemed confirmation of the description of Escrowed Assets
listed on the report regardless of any variations from the original schedule.
Any request to invest assets shall be in writing or facsimile and specify the
type of investment to be made, the maturity date, and the principal amount to be
invested. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for delay or failure to invest
funds without written instructions or for losses on any investments made by it
pursuant to and in compliance with such instructions.

5.3 Should any controversy arise between the undersigned with respect to this
Escrow Agreement or with respect to the right to receive the Escrowed Assets,
Escrow Agent shall have the right to consult counsel and/or to institute a bill
of interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights
of the parties. In the event it is a party to any dispute, Escrow Agent shall
have the additional right to refer such controversy to binding arbitration.
Should such actions be necessary, or should Escrow Agent become involved in
litigation in any manner whatsoever on account of this Escrow Agreement of the
Escrowed Assets made hereunder, the undersigned hereby bind and obligate
themselves, their heirs and legal representatives to pay Escrow Agent, in
addition to any charge made hereunder for acting as Escrow Agent, reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by Escrow Agent, and any other disbursements, expenses,
losses, costs and damages in connection with and resulting from such actions.

<PAGE>

5.4 The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under, or duty to inquire beyond
the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement, and it is agreed that its
duties are purely ministerial in nature, and that the Escrow Agent shall incur
no liability whatsoever except for willful misconduct or gross negligence so
long as it has acted in good faith. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any
modification, amendment, termination, cancellation, rescission or supersession
of this Escrow Agreement unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all
of the other parties hereto and, if its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder are
affected thereby, unless it shall have given prior written consent thereto.

5.5 The Escrow Agent may at any time resign hereunder by giving written notice
of its resignation to the other parties hereto, at their address set forth
herein, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified for such resignation
to take effect, and upon the effective date of such resignation, the Escrowed
Assets hereunder shall be delivered to such person as may be designated in
writing by the appropriate parties executing this Escrow Agreement, whereupon
all the Escrow Agent's obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. The
Escrow Agent's sole responsibility until such termination shall be to keep
safely all Escrowed Assets and to deliver the same to a person designated by the
appropriate parties executing this Escrow Agreement or in accordance with the
directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

5.6 The parties agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless
from and against any and all loss, damage, tax, liability and expense that may
be incurred by the Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with its
acceptance or appointments as Escrow Agent hereunder, including costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with
its performance hereunder.

5.7 The parties jointly and severally agree to pay to the Escrow Agent its fees
for the services rendered pursuant to the provisions of this Escrow Agreement
and will reimburse the Escrow Agent for reasonable expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection with the negotiations,
drafting and performance of such services. Except as otherwise noted, this fee
covers account acceptance, set up and termination expenses; plus usual and
customary related administrative services such as safekeeping, investment and
payment of funds specified herein or in the exhibits attached. Activities
requiring excessive administrator time or out-of-pocket expenses such as
optional substitution of collateral or securities shall be deemed extraordinary
expenses for which related costs, transaction charges, and additional fees will
be billed at Escrow Agent's standard charges for such items. A fee schedule has
been provided to all parties to this Escrow.

5.8 Escrow Agent is hereby given a lien on all Escrowed Assets for all
indebtedness that may become owing to Escrow Agent hereunder, which lien may be
enforced by Escrow Agent by setoff or appropriate foreclosure proceedings.

5.9 The parties warrant to the Escrow Agent that there are no Federal, State or
local tax liability or filing requirements whatsoever concerning the Escrow
Agent's actions contemplated hereunder and warrant and represent to the Escrow
Agent that the Escrow Agent has no duty to withhold or file any report of any
tax liability under any Federal of State income tax, local or State property
tax, local or State sales or use taxes, or any other tax by any taxing
authority. The parties hereto agree to jointly and severally indemnify the
Escrow Agent fully for any tax liability, penalties or interest incurred by the
Escrow Agent arising hereunder and agree to pay in full any such tax liability
together with penalty and interest if any tax liability is ultimately assessed
against the Escrow Agent for any reason as a result of its action hereunder
(except for the Escrow Agent's individual income tax liability arising from its
income fees).

<PAGE>

beyond its control, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the act,
failure or neglect of any agent or correspondent selected by the Escrow Agent or
the parties hereto; (b) any delay, error, omission or default connected with the
remittance of funds; (c) any delay, error, omission or default of any mail,
telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator; (d) the acts or edicts of any
government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising
governmental powers.

5.11 This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Tennessee. The parties hereto expressly waive such
duties and liabilities, it being their intent to create solely an agency
relationship and hold the Escrow Agent liable only in the event of its gross
negligence or willful misconduct in order to obtain the lower fee schedule rates
as specifically negotiated with the Escrow Agent.
