      underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”),
      pursuant to which, among other matters, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase
      10,000,000 units (“Units”)
      of the
      Company. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par

      333 ___) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Registration
      Statement”).

      Company has also entered into a Private Placement Securities Purchase Agreement
      dated March ___, 2006 with the Representative and GTI, pursuant to which, GTI

      identical to the Units being offered by the Underwriters and (ii) 416,667
      additional Warrants (sold separately and not in combination with the Common
      Stock in the form of the Units).

     

    C. In
      order
      to facilitate the public offering of the Units, GTI has agreed to deposit all
      shares of Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Units, the additional
      Warrants and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
      Warrants comprising the Units and the additional Warrants issued by the Company
      that it owns as of the date hereof (the “Escrow
      Shares”),
      in
      escrow as hereinafter provided.

     

    D. The
      Company and GTI desire that the Escrow Agent accept the Escrow Shares, in
      escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, with reference to the foregoing facts, the parties agree as follows:
      

     

    1.  Appointment
      of Escrow Agent.
      The
      Company and GTI hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and

      such
      appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such
      terms.

     

    2.  Deposit
      of Escrow Shares.
      On or
      before the effective date of the Registration Statement, GTI shall deliver
      to
      the Escrow Agent a certificate representing its Escrow Shares, to be held and
      disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. GTI
      acknowledges that the certificate representing its Escrow Shares is legended
      to
      reflect the deposit of such Escrow Shares under this Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    3.  Disbursement
      of the Escrow Shares.

     

    3.1  The
      Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares from the date of delivery until the
      Release Date (the “Escrow
      Period”).

     

    3.2  For
      purposes of this Agreement: 

     

    3.2.1  “Business

      shares of Common Stock (or successor securities) for cash, securities or other
      property, but excluding a reorganization in which the common stockholders

      substantially the same proportionate interests in the holding company that
      they
      had in the Company (or successor); (b) the liquidation of the Company; or (c)

    3.4  The
      Company agrees to notify the Escrow Agent in advance of any anticipated

      Financial Officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow
      Agent, that certifies that the Release Date has occurred, and shall not be
      required to disburse the Escrow Shares unless and until it receives the

    4.  Rights
      of GTI in Escrow Shares.

     

    4.1  Rights
      as a Stockholder.
      Except
      as provided in this Section 4 and the Private Placement Securities Purchase
      Agreement (as defined below), GTI shall retain all of its rights as a
      stockholder of the Company with respect to its Escrow Shares during the Escrow
      Period, including, without limitation: 

     

    4.1.1  the
      right
      to vote; and 

     

    4.1.2  the
      right
      to receive dividends and distributions, if any, with cash dividends paid to
      GTI
      and dividends paid in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash
      Dividends”)
      delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof (and
      the term “Escrow
      Shares”
shall
      be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed with respect to any
      Escrow Shares held by the Escrow Agent prior to the distribution).

     

    4.2  Restrictions
      on Transfer.
      During
      the Escrow Period, GTI agrees not to sell, transfer or assign any or all of
      its
      Escrow Shares except to its members (and the Escrow Shares may subsequently
      be
      transferred by such members to their ancestors, descendants or spouse
      or
      to trusts established for the benefit of such persons or the member, or to
      affiliated companies);
      provided, however, that such permissive transfers may be implemented only upon
      the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and
      conditions of this Agreement as a stockholder and of the Private Placement
      Securities Purchase Agreement signed by GTI transferring the Escrow Shares.
      During the Escrow Period, GTI agrees that it may not pledge or grant a security
      interest in the Escrow Shares or grant a security interest in its rights under
      this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Private Placement Securities
      Purchase Agreement”
      means
      the agreement between GTI, the Representative and the Company attached as
      Exhibit 10.7 to the Registration Statement setting forth certain rights and
      obligations of GTI in certain events, including but not limited to the
      liquidation of the Company.

     

    5.  Concerning
      the Escrow Agent.

     

    5.1  Good
      Faith Reliance.
      The
      Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good
      faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and 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),
      statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its
      due
      execution and the 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. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice
      or
      demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement
      unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper
      party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected,
      unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

     

    5.2  Indemnification.
      The
      Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against
      any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered
      by
      the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding
      involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of
      or
      relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the
      Escrow Shares held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from
      the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. 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 notify
      the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice,
      the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature
      of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition
      of
      the Escrow Shares or it may deposit the Escrow Shares with the clerk of any
      appropriate court or it may retain the Escrow Shares 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 Shares are
      to
      be disbursed and delivered. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive
      in
      the event the Escrow Agent resigns or is discharged pursuant to Sections 5.5
      or
      5.6 below.

    5.3  Compensation.
      The
      Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Company
      for
      all services rendered by it hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled
      to reimbursement from the Company for all expenses paid or incurred by it in
      the
      administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all
      counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other
      governmental charges.

     

    5.4  Further
      Assurances.
      From
      time to time on and after the date hereof, the Company and GTI 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 to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes
      of
      this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it
      is
      protected in acting hereunder.

     

    5.5  Resignation.
      The
      Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow
      agent hereunder by giving the other parties hereto written notice, and such
      resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided. Such resignation
      shall become effective at such time that the Escrow Agent shall turn over to
      a
      successor escrow agent appointed by the Company the Escrow Shares held
      hereunder. If no new escrow agent is so appointed within the 60-day period
      following the giving of such notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit
      the Escrow Shares with any court it reasonably deems appropriate.

     

    5.6  Discharge
      of Escrow Agent.
      The
      Escrow Agent shall resign and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent
      hereunder if so requested in writing at any time by the Company and the holders
      of a majority of the Escrow Shares, provided, however, that such resignation
      shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by a successor escrow
      agent as provided in Section 5.5.

     

    5.7  Liability.
      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not
      be
      relieved from liability hereunder for its own gross negligence or its own
      willful misconduct.

     

    6.  Miscellaneous.

     

    6.1  Governing
      Law.
      This
      Agreement shall for all purposes be deemed to be made under and shall be
      construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
      effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application
      of
      the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.
