ESCROW AGREEMENT    
    

        This Escrow Agreement (the "Agreement") is made by and between the Riggs Bank, N.A. (the "Escrow Agent"), Washington, D.C., and Gemini Partners, Inc. (the
"Issuer"), a Delaware corporation. 

W
I T N E S S E T H: 

        WHEREAS,
the Issuer has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), Washington, D.C., an SB-2 Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement"),
and related Prospectus, File No. 333-            , in connection with an initial public offering of the Issuer's securities, comprising 200,000 units, each unit consisting of
five shares of common stock, $.001 par value, and five redeemable warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, and 5,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 redeemable
warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, offered by selling security holders of the Issuer (the "Securities"); 

        WHEREAS,
the Issuer proposes to offer the Securities to the public on a "best efforts, minimum/maximum" basis as set forth in the Registration Statement; 

        WHEREAS,
the Issuer proposes to establish an escrow account (the "Escrow Account"), to which subscription funds which are received by the Escrow Agent in connection with such public
offering are to be credited, and the Escrow Agent is willing to establish the Escrow Account on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and 

        WHEREAS,
the Escrow Agent will establish an Escrow Account into which the subscription funds, which are received by the Escrow Agent and credited to the Escrow Account, are to be
deposited. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, and other valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

        1.0    The Registration Statement.    

        1.1   The
Issuer has filed the Registration Statement with the Commission and is included herein as Exhibit A to this Agreement, and is made a part hereof. 

        2.0    Establishment of the Escrow Account.    

        2.1   The
Issuer shall establish a non-interest-bearing Escrow Account at the Escrow Agent. The purpose of the Escrow Account is for (a) the deposit of all
subscription funds (checks, cash or wire transfers) which are received by the Issuer from prospective purchasers of the Securities and are delivered by the Issuer to the Escrow Agent; (b) the
holding of amounts of subscription funds which are collected through the banking system, and (c) the disbursement of collected funds, all as described herein. 

        2.2   On
or before the date of the initial deposit in the Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer shall notify the Escrow Agent in writing of the effective date
(the "Effective Date") of the Registration Statement, and the Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept any amounts for credit to the Escrow Account or for deposit in the Escrow Account prior to
its receipt of such notification. 

        2.3   The
offering period (the "Offering Period"), which shall be deemed to commence on the Effective Date, shall consist of the number of calendar days or business days as
set forth in the Registration Statement. The Offering Period shall be extended by an extension period only if the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice thereof at least five business days
prior to the expiration of the Offering Period. The extension period, which shall be deemed to commence the next calendar day following the expiration of the Offering Period, shall consist of the
number of calendar days or business days set forth in the Registration Statement. The last day of the Offering Period, or the last day of the extension period, is referred to herein as the
"Termination Date." Except as provided in Section 4.3 hereof, after the Termination Date, the Issuer shall not deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall not accept, any additional amounts
representing payments by prospective purchasers. 

        3.0    Deposits to the Escrow Account.    

        3.1   The
Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent all funds which it receives from prospective purchasers of the Securities, which funds shall be in the form of
checks, cash or wire transfers. Upon the Escrow Agent's receipt of such funds, they shall be credited to the Escrow 

 

Account.
All checks delivered to the Escrow Agent shall be made payable to the "Riggs Bank, N.A. / First United States Corporation Escrow Account." Any checks payable other than to the Escrow Agent as
required hereby shall be returned to the prospective purchaser. 

        3.2   Promptly
after receiving subscription funds as described in Section 3.1, the Escrow Agent shall deposit the same into the Escrow Account. Amounts of funds so
deposited are hereinafter referred to as "Escrow Amounts." The Escrow Agent shall cause to process all Escrow Amounts for collection through the banking system. Simultaneously with each deposit to the
Escrow Account, the Issuer shall inform the Escrow Agent in writing of the name and address of the prospective purchaser, the amount of Securities subscribed for by such purchaser, and the aggregate
dollar amount of such subscription (collectively, the "Subscription Information"). 

        3.3   The
Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept for credit to the Escrow Account checks which are not accompanied by the appropriate Subscription Information. Wire
transfers and cash representing payments by prospective purchasers shall not be deemed deposited in the Escrow Account until the Escrow Agent has received in writing the Subscription Information
required with respect to such payments. 

        3.4   The
Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept in the Escrow Account any amounts representing payments by prospective purchasers, whether by check, cash or wire,
except during the Escrow Agent's regular business hours. 

        3.5   Only
those Escrow Amounts, which have been deposited in the Escrow Account and which have cleared the banking system and have been collected by the Escrow Agent, are
herein referred to as the "Fund." 

        3.6   All
Securities issued in connection with the offering, whether or not for cash consideration, and any other securities issued with respect to such securities, including
securities issued with respect to stock splits, stock dividends or similar rights, shall be deposited directly into the Escrow Account promptly upon issuance. The identity of the purchaser of the
securities shall be included on the stock certificates or other documents evidencing such securities. 

        3.7   If
the proposed offering is terminated before the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall refund any portion of the Fund prior to disbursement of the Fund in accordance
with Article 4 hereof upon instructions in from the Issuer. 

        4.0    Disbursement from the Escrow Account.    

        4.1   Subject
to Section 4.3 below, if by the close of regular banking hours on the Termination Date the Escrow Agent determines that the amount in the Fund is less
than the minimum amount of the offering, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund to each prospective purchaser the amount of payment received from such purchaser which is then held in the Fund or
which thereafter clears the banking system, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom, by drawing checks on the Escrow Account for the amounts of such payments and transmitting them to the
purchasers. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of its distribution of the Fund. 

        4.2   The
terms of the offering must provide, and the Issuer must satisfy, the following conditions: 

        within
five business days after the effective date of the post-effective amendment, the Issuer shall send by first class mail to each purchaser of securities held in escrow,
a copy of the prospectus contained in the post-effective amendment and any amendment or supplement thereto; 

        each
purchaser shall have no fewer than 20 business days and no more than 45 business days from the effective date of the post-effective amendment to notify the Issuer in
writing that the purchaser elects to remain an investor. If the Issuer has not received such written notification by the 45th business day following the effective date of the
post-effective amendment, funds and interest or dividends, if any held in escrow shall be sent by first class mail or other equally prompt means to the purchaser within five business days; 

2

 

        the
acquisition meeting the criteria set forth above will be consummated if a sufficient number of purchasers confirm their investment with the Issuer; and 

        if
a consummated acquisition meeting the requirements above has not occurred by a date 18 months after the effective date of the Issuer's initial registration statement, funds
held in escrow shall be returned by first class mail to the purchasers with five business days following that date. 

        Funds
held in the escrow account may be released to the Issuer and securities may be delivered to the purchaser only at the same time as or after: 

        the
escrow agent has received a signed representation from the Issuer, together with other evidence acceptable to the escrow agent, that the requirements of paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2)
of Rule 419 have been met; and 

        the
escrow agent has received a signed representation from the Issuer, together with other evidence acceptable to the escrow agent, that the requirements of
paragraph (e)(2)(iii) of Rule 419 have been met. 

        4.3   If
the Escrow Agent has on hand at the close of business on the Termination Date any uncollected amounts which when added to the Fund would raise the amount in the Fund
to the minimum offering amount, and result in the Fund representing the sale of the minimum offering amount, the Collection Period, consisting of the number of business days set forth in the
Registration Statement, shall be utilized to allow such uncollected funds to clear the banking system. 

        4.4   Upon
disbursement of the Fund pursuant to the terms of this Article 4, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all
liability under this Agreement. It is expressly agreed and understood that in no event shall the aggregate amount of payments made by the Escrow Agent exceed the amount of the Fund. 

        5.0    Rights, Duties and Responsibilities of the Escrow Agent.    

        5.1   The
Escrow Agent shall notify the Issuer on a regular basis of the escrow amounts which have been deposited in the Escrow Account and of the amounts, constituting the
Fund, which have cleared the banking system and have been collected by the Escrow Agent. 

        5.2   The
Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of the terms or conditions of the Agreement with respect to the Issuer. 

        5.3   The
Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept from the Issuer any subscription information pertaining to prospective purchasers unless such Subscription Information
is accompanied by checks, cash or wire transfers meeting the requirement of Section 3.1, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to keep records of any information with respect to payments
deposited by the Issuer, except as to the amount of such payments; however, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Issuer within a reasonable time of any discrepancy between the amount set forth in any
subscription information and the amount delivered to the Escrow Agent therewith. Such amount need not be accepted for deposit in the Escrow Agent until such discrepancy has been resolved. 

        5.4   The
Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder. The Escrow Agent, within a reasonable time, shall
return to the Issuer any check received which is dishonored, together with the Subscription Information which accompanied such check. 

        5.5   The
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy, act in reliance upon the contents, and assume the genuineness of any notice, instruction, certificate,
signature, instrument or other document which is given to the Escrow Agent by the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement without the necessity of the Escrow Agent verifying the truth or accuracy thereof.
The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to make any inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or identity of any person purporting to give any such notice or instructions or to execute any such
certificate, instrument or other document. 

3

 

        5.6   If
the Escrow Agent is uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions with respect to the Escrow Account, the escrow amounts of the Fund
which, in its sole determination, are in conflict either with other instructions received by it or with any provision of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to hold the escrow amounts, the Fund or a
portion thereof, in the Escrow Account pending the resolution of such uncertainty to the Escrow Agent's sole satisfaction, by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise; or the
Escrow Agent, at its sole option, may deposit with the Clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to which all parties in interest are joined. Upon the deposit by the Escrow Agent of
the Fund with the Clerk of any court, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all liability hereunder. 

        5.7   The
Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted hereunder, or for the misconduct of any employee, agent or attorney appointed by it, except in the
case of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with counsel of its own choosing and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
in accordance with the advice of such counsel. 

        5.8   The
Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility at any time to ascertain whether or not any security interest exists in the escrow amounts, the Fund or any part thereof or
to file any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Fund or any part thereof. 

        6.0    Amendment; Resignation.    

        6.1   This
Agreement may be altered or amended only with the written consent of the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent may resign for any reason upon five business days' written
notice to the Issuer. Should the Escrow Agent resign as herein provided, it shall not be required to accept any deposit, make any disbursement or otherwise dispose of the escrow amounts, but its only
duty shall be to hold the escrow accounts until they clear the banking system and the Fund for a period of not more than five business days following the effective date of such resignation, at which
time (a) if a successor escrow agent shall have been appointed and written notice thereof shall have been given to the resigning escrow agent by the Issuer and such successor escrow agent, then
the resigning escrow agent shall pay over to the successor escrow agent the Fund, less any portion thereof previously paid out in accordance with this Agreement; or (b) if the resigning escrow
agent shall not have received written notice signed by the Issuer and a successor escrow agent, then the resigning escrow agent shall promptly refund the amount in the Fund to each prospective
purchaser, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom, and the resigning Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of its liquidation and distribution of the Fund; whereupon, in either case,
the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all liability under this Agreement. Without limiting the provisions of Section 8 hereof, the resigning Escrow
Agent shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer for any expenses incurred in connection with its resignation, transfer of the Fund to a successor escrow agent or distribution of the Fund
pursuant to this Section 6. 

        7.0    Representations and Warranties.    

        7.1   The
Issuer represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that no party other than the parties hereto and the prospective purchasers have, or shall have, any claim or
security interest in the Fund or any part thereof. 

        7.2   No
financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code is on file in any jurisdiction claiming a security interest in or describing the Fund or any part thereof. 

        7.3   The
Subscription Information submitted with each deposit shall, at the time of submission and at the time of the disbursement of the Fund, be deemed a representation and
warranty that such deposit represents a bona fide payment by the purchaser described therein for the amount of Securities set forth in such Subscription Information. 

        7.4   All
of the information contained in the Registration Statement is, as of the date hereof, and will be, at the time of any disbursement of the Fund, true and correct.

Escrow Agent shall be entitled to an acceptance fee of $1,000 and an annual administrative fee of $2,000, payable upon the execution of this Agreement. In addition,
the Issuer agrees to reimburse the Escrow Agent for any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement.

        9.1   This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the District of Columbia and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that any assignment or transfer by any party of its rights under this Agreement or with respect to the Fund shall be void as against the Escrow
Agent unless (a) written notice thereof shall be given to the Escrow Agent; and (b) the Escrow Agent shall have consented in writing to such assignment or transfer. 

        10.0    Notices.    

        10.1 All
notices required to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by hand delivery with

any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
of this Agreement or the application of such provision to persons of circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Agreement may be executed in several counterparts or by separate instruments, all of such counterparts and instruments shall constitute one agreement, binding on
