    2.8.           The

    2.12.         It
is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to the

the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed in the

disputes shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the
parties concerned by a final order, decree or judgment or a court of competent
jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been
perfected, but the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute
or defend any such proceedings or (2) to deliver the Escrowed Funds and any
other property held by the Escrow Agent hereunder to a state or Federal court
having competent subject matter jurisdiction and located in the City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan, in accordance with the applicable procedure
therefor.
