                                ESCROW AGREEMENT
                               (FOR CLASS A UNITS)

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of _______________, by and between MAN-AHL 130, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), MAN INVESTMENTS (USA) CORP.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Managing Member") and SEI PRIVATE TRUST COMPANY, a
limited purpose federal savings bank regulated by the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("SEI" or "Escrow Agent").

                                   WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Company and the Managing Member desire that SEI provide services as
escrow agent for the purpose of receiving subscription funds ("Subscription
Funds") from potential investors in Class A Units of the Company (the "Potential
Investors") during an initial offering period ending June 30, 2007, subject to
extension until September 30, 2007 or earlier termination, as designated by the
Managing Member (the Initial Offering Period") and SEI wishes to provide such
services.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   ACCEPTANCE BY ESCROW AGENT. The Escrow Agent hereby accepts the appointment
     as escrow agent hereunder and agrees to act on the terms and conditions
     hereinafter set forth.

2.   RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ESCROW AGENT. The acceptance by the Escrow
     Agent of its duties hereunder is subject to the following terms and
     conditions, which the parties to this Agreement hereby agree shall govern
     and control the Escrow Agent's rights, duties, liabilities and immunities.

     (a)  The Escrow Agent shall act hereunder as a depositary only, and in its
          capacity as such, it shall not be responsible or liable in any manner
          whatever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of
          any document furnished to the Escrow Agent or any asset deposited with
          it.

     (b)  "Written Instructions" mean written instructions received by the
          Escrow Agent and signed by any person duly authorized by the Managing
          Member to give such instructions on behalf of the Company (each an
          "Authorized Person"). The instructions may be (a) sent by facsimile
          with confirmation of receipt, (b) delivered personally, (c) sent by
          commercial overnight courier with written verification of receipt, or
          (d) sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid and
          return receipt requested. The Escrow Agent shall provide the Managing
          Member with the name of the group or person to whom such instructions
          should be directed. The Managing Member shall file from time to time
          with the Escrow Agent a certified copy of each resolution of the board
          of directors of the Managing Member setting forth the names of the
          Authorized Persons for the purpose of giving Written Instructions.
          Such resolution shall include certified signatures of such Authorized
          Persons. This shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of
          the signatories designated therein to act. Such resolution shall be
          considered in full force and effect with the Escrow Agent fully
          protected in acting in reliance thereon unless and until it receives
          written notice from the Managing Member to the contrary. The Escrow
          Agent may rely

                                                                          Page 1

<PAGE>

          upon and shall be protected for any action or omission it takes
          pursuant to Written Instructions if it, in good faith, believes such
          Written Instructions to be genuine. Unless otherwise provided in this
          Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall act only upon Written Instructions.
          The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to assume that any Written
          Instruction received hereunder is not in any way inconsistent with the
          provisions of the Company's formation documents or this Agreement or
          of any vote, resolution or proceeding of the Company's board of
          directors, unless and until the Escrow Agent receives Written
          Instructions to the contrary.

     (c)  The Escrow Agent shall be obligated to exercise care and diligence in
          the performance of its duties hereunder, to act in good faith and to
          use its best efforts, within reasonable limits, in performing services
          provided for under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be liable
          for any damages arising out if its failure to perform its duties under
          this Agreement to the extent such damages arise out of its willful
          misfeasance, fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
          of such duties.

     (d)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither
          the Escrow Agent nor its affiliates shall be liable to the Company or
          the Managing Member for any consequential, special or indirect losses
          or damages which the Company or Managing Member may incur or suffer by
          or as a consequence of the Escrow Agent's or its affiliates'
          performance of the services provided hereunder, whether or not the
          likelihood of such losses or damages was known by the Escrow Agent or
          its affiliates.

     (e)  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any other
          provision of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for
          losses beyond its control, provided it has acted in accordance with
          the standard of care set forth above; and the Escrow Agent shall not
          be liable for delays or errors or loss of data occurring by reason of
          circumstances beyond its control, including acts of civil or military
          authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties, fire, flood,
          catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots or failure of the
          mails, transportation, telecommunications or power supply.

     (f)  The Managing Member and the Company each agree to indemnify the Escrow
          Agent and hold it harmless from and against any tax, charge, loss,
          liability, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses),
          claim or demand arising directly or indirectly from any action or
          omission to act which the Escrow Agent takes (i) at the request or on
          the direction of or in reliance on the advice of the Managing Member
          or the Company or (ii) upon Written Instructions; provided, however,
          that neither the Escrow Agent, nor any of its affiliates, shall be
          indemnified against any liability (or any expenses incident to such
          liability) arising out of the Escrow Agent's or its affiliates own
          willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
          of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Managing
          Member and the Company shall each indemnify and hold harmless the
          Escrow Agent against and in respect of any liability for taxes and for
          any penalties or interest in respect of taxes attributable to the
          investment of funds held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to
          this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
          contrary, no party shall be liable to any other party for any
          consequential, special or indirect losses or damages which such party
          may incur or suffer, whether or not the likelihood of such losses or
          damages was known by such party. These indemnities shall

                                                                          Page 2

<PAGE>

          survive the resignation of the Escrow Agent and/or the termination of
          this Agreement.

     (g)  The Escrow Agent shall have no duties except those specifically set
          forth in this Agreement.

     (h)  The Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time it deems appropriate
          to seek an adjudication in a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
          respective rights of the parties hereto and shall not be held liable
          by any party hereto for any delay or the consequences of any delay
          occasioned by such resort to court.

     (i)  The Escrow Agent shall notify promptly the Managing Member of any
          discrepancy between the amounts set forth on any remittance advice
          received by Escrow Agent and the sums delivered to it therewith.

3.   DEPOSIT OF ESCROW FUND. The Escrow Agent shall establish an account at
     Wachovia Bank, or a similar banking institution agreed to by the Company,
     in the name of MAN-AHL 130, LLC --Class A Escrow Account for the Benefit of
     Class A Investors (the "Account"). The Escrow Agent shall promptly deposit
     in the Account checks remitted by Potential Investors and made payable to
     the Company. Potential Investors also may deposit monies in the Account by
     wire transfer pursuant to instructions provided to them by the Company.
     Balances on deposit in the Account will earn interest at prevailing market
     rates pursuant to arrangements approved by the Company. Prior to
     distribution to the Company, as described below in Section 5, the Company
     shall have neither title to nor an interest in the funds deposited in the
     Account, and such funds shall under no circumstances be subject to the
     liabilities of the Company.

4.   STATEMENTS. During the term of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall
     provide the Company with (a) monthly statements with respect to
     Subscription Funds in the Account and (b) a daily summary of amounts
     deposited. All such statements shall be sent by mail to the attention of
     Kathy McGuane, Accounting Department, at the following address:

     MAN-AHL 130, LLC
     123 N Wacker Drive, Suite 2800
     Chicago, IL 60606-1743

     or by facsimile to at fax number 312-881-6654. The Company shall be
     responsible for reconciling such statements. The Escrow Agent shall be
     forever released and discharged from all liability with respect to the
     accuracy of such statements, except with respect to any such act or
     transaction as to which the Company shall, within 30 days after the
     furnishing of the statement, file written objections with the Escrow Agent.
     Upon request by the Company, the Escrow Agent shall provide the Company
     with information concerning daily interest earned.

5.   DISTRIBUTIONS AND CLOSINGS.

     (a)  If, prior to the end of the Initial Offering Period, as determined by
          the Managing Member and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
          in the Company's Prospectus, the Managing Member determines that the
          requirements for the release of the Subscription Funds from Escrow set
          forth in the Registration Statement for the Company have been
          satisfied (such requirements being hereinafter referred to as the
          "Minimum Class A Requirements"), then, the

                                                                          Page 3

<PAGE>

          Managing Member shall notify the Escrow Agent that the Minimum Class A
          Requirements have been met and shall provide Written Instructions to
          the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release the
          Subscription Funds to the Company. Upon its receipt of Written
          Instructions, the Escrow Agent will wire principal balances on deposit
          and any accrued interest thereon in the Account, to the account
          designated by the Company.

     (b)  In the event that at the conclusion of the Initial Offering Period, as
          determined by the Managing Member and subject to the terms and
          conditions set forth in the Company's Prospectus, the Managing Member
          determines that the Minimum Class A Requirements have not been met,
          the offering of Class A Units will be terminated, and the Managing
          Member shall notify the Escrow Agent that the Minimum Class A
          Requirements have not been met and the Managing Member shall provide
          Written Instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to
          refund the Subscription Funds to the Potential Investors. Upon its
          receipt of Written Instructions, which instructions should include the
          amount of each refund to be issued to each Potential Investor (which
          amount shall include the amount of the principal balance plus any
          interest that may be due to such Potential Investors), the Escrow
          Agent will return the Subscription Funds received, together with any
          interest earned thereon, to the Potential Investors. The Escrow Agent
          shall have 5 business days from its receipt of such Written
          Instructions to make such refunds.

     (c)  Prior to the release of Subscription Funds, as set forth in 5 (a) or
          (b) above, if Escrow Agent receives funds from a Potential Investor
          who is not admitted into the Company (each an "Unacceptable
          Investor'), the Managing Member shall timely issue, or cause to be
          issued, Written Instructions to the Escrow Agent directing Escrow
          Agent to make a refund to each such Unacceptable Investor, which
          instructions should include the amount of each refund to be issued to
          each such Unacceptable Investor (which amount shall include the amount
          of the principal balance plus any interest that may be due to such
          Unacceptable Investor), and which instructions shall be provided to
          the Escrow Agent prior to the issuance of Written Instructions under
          Section 5(a) or prior to the return of Subscription Funds under 5(b),
          whereupon the Escrow Agent shall issue such refunds. Unless otherwise
          agreed, such refunds shall be made in wire form.

6.   INTEREST. Except with respect to refunds that are made to Potential
     Investors as set forth in Section 5(b) or (c) above, all interest earned on
     the escrow funds deposited in the Account hereunder shall be credited to
     the Company.

7.   TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. All deposits to the Account shall be subject to
     the Escrow Agent's receipt of a valid tax identification number for the
     Company or Potential Investor, as applicable.

8.   COMPENSATION. As compensation for the services rendered by Escrow Agent
     under this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall receive from the Company such fees
     as may be agreed to in writing, from time to time, by the Company and the
     Escrow Agent. The Company shall also be responsible for and shall reimburse
     the Escrow Agent for the Escrow Agent's reasonable costs and expenses
     incurred in connection with the performance of its services under this
     Agreement. The Company has delegated to the Managing Member, and the
     Managing Member has agreed to assume, responsibility for

                                                                          Page 4

<PAGE>

     paying the Escrow Agent the foregoing fees, costs and expenses. It is
     further understood and agreed that standard account transaction charges
     will be billed to the Company as an out-of-pocket expense.

     provision hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in
     writing, signed by all of the parties hereto.

10.  TERMINATION. This Agreement shall continue until the earlier to occur of
     the following:

     (a)  Terminated by either the Escrow Agent or the Managing Member on 30
          days prior written notice as set forth in Section 13 of this
          Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement and upon the
          delivery of the balance of the Account to a successor escrow agent or
          such other person as may be designated by Written Instructions, the
          Escrow Agent shall be released and discharged of any and all further
          obligations hereunder.

          If no successor escrow agent has been designated pursuant to Written
          Instructions to receive the balance of the Account at the expiration
          of the 30-day period, the Escrow Agent shall have no further
          obligation hereunder except to hold the escrow funds as a depositary.
          Upon written notification by the Company of the appointment of the
          successor, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the balance of the
          Account to such successor, and the duties of the resigning Escrow
          Agent shall thereupon in all respects terminate, and it shall be
          released and discharged of any and all further obligations hereunder;
          or

     (b)  Disbursement of all Subscription Funds pursuant to Section 5. Upon
          disbursement of the Subscription Funds as set forth in Section 5
          above, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations
          and released from all liability hereunder.

     Upon termination, the Company and the Managing Member shall execute and
     deliver to the Escrow Agent the Release and Discharge attached hereto as

     and Discharge shall not affect the termination of this Agreement.

                               (FOR CLASS B UNITS)

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of _______________, by and between MAN-AHL 130, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), MAN INVESTMENTS (USA) CORP.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Managing Member") and SEI PRIVATE TRUST COMPANY, a

extension until September 30, 2007 or earlier termination, as designated by the

     conditions, which the parties to this Agreement hereby agree shall govern
     and control the Escrow Agent's rights, duties, liabilities and immunities.

     (a)  The Escrow Agent shall act hereunder as a depositary only, and in its
          capacity as such, it shall not be responsible or liable in any manner
          whatever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of
          any document furnished to the Escrow Agent or any asset deposited with
          it.

     (b)  "Written Instructions" mean written instructions received by the

          with the Escrow Agent a certified copy of each resolution of the board
          of directors of the Managing Member setting forth the names of the
          Authorized Persons for the purpose of giving Written Instructions.
          Such resolution shall include certified signatures of such Authorized
          Persons. This shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of
          the signatories designated therein to act. Such resolution shall be
          considered in full force and effect with the Escrow Agent fully
          protected in acting in reliance thereon unless and until it receives
          written notice from the Managing Member to the contrary. The Escrow
          Agent may rely upon and shall be protected for any action or omission
          it takes pursuant to Written Instructions if it, in good faith,
          believes such Written Instructions to be genuine. Unless otherwise
          provided in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall act only upon
          Written Instructions. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to assume

                                                                          Page 1

<PAGE>

          that any Written Instruction received hereunder is not in any way
          inconsistent with the provisions of the Company's formation documents
          or this Agreement or of any vote, resolution or proceeding of the
          Company's board of directors, unless and until the Escrow Agent
          receives Written Instructions to the contrary.

     (c)  The Escrow Agent shall be obligated to exercise care and diligence in
          the performance of its duties hereunder, to act in good faith and to
          use its best efforts, within reasonable limits, in performing services
          provided for under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be liable
          for any damages arising out if its failure to perform its duties under
          this Agreement to the extent such damages arise out of its willful
          misfeasance, fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
          of such duties.

     (d)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither
          the Escrow Agent nor its affiliates shall be liable to the Company or
          the Managing Member for any consequential, special or indirect losses
          or damages which the Company or Managing Member may incur or suffer by
          or as a consequence of the Escrow Agent's or its affiliates'
          performance of the services provided hereunder, whether or not the
          likelihood of such losses or damages was known by the Escrow Agent or
          its affiliates.

     (e)  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any other
          provision of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for
          losses beyond its control, provided it has acted in accordance with
          the standard of care set forth above; and the Escrow Agent shall not
          be liable for delays or errors or loss of data occurring by reason of
          circumstances beyond its control, including acts of civil or military
          authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties, fire, flood,
          catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots or failure of the
          mails, transportation, telecommunications or power supply.

     (f)  The Managing Member and the Company each agree to indemnify the Escrow
          Agent and hold it harmless from and against any tax, charge, loss,
          liability, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses),
          claim or demand arising directly or indirectly from any action or
          omission to act which the Escrow Agent takes (i) at the request or on
          the direction of or in reliance on the advice of the Managing Member
          or the Company or (ii) upon Written Instructions; provided, however,
          that neither the Escrow Agent, nor any of its affiliates, shall be
          indemnified against any liability (or any expenses incident to such
          liability) arising out of the Escrow Agent's or its affiliates own
          willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
          of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Managing
          Member and the Company shall each indemnify and hold harmless the
          Escrow Agent against and in respect of any liability for taxes and for
          any penalties or interest in respect of taxes attributable to the
          investment of funds held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to
          this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
          contrary, no party shall be liable to any other party for any
          consequential, special or indirect losses or damages which such party
          may incur or suffer, whether or not the likelihood of such losses or
          damages was known by such party. These indemnities shall survive the
          resignation of the Escrow Agent and/or the termination of this
          Agreement.

     (g)  The Escrow Agent shall have no duties except those specifically set
          forth in this Agreement.

     (h)  The Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time it deems appropriate
          to seek an adjudication in a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
          respective rights of

                                                                          Page 2

          the parties hereto and shall not be held liable by any party hereto
          for any delay or the consequences of any delay occasioned by such
          resort to court.

          discrepancy between the amounts set forth on any remittance advice
          received by Escrow Agent and the sums delivered to it therewith.

     the Company. Potential Investors also may deposit monies in the Account by
     wire transfer pursuant to instructions provided to them by the Company.
     Balances on deposit in the Account will earn interest at prevailing market
     rates pursuant to arrangements approved by the Company. Prior to
     distribution to the Company, as described below in Section 5, the Company
     shall have neither title to nor an interest in the funds deposited in the
     Account, and such funds shall under no circumstances be subject to the
     liabilities of the Company.

          requirements for the release of the Subscription Funds from Escrow set
          forth in the Registration Statement for the Company have been
          satisfied (such requirements being hereinafter referred to as the

          Investors. Upon its receipt of Written Instructions, which
          instructions should include the amount of each refund to be issued to
          each Potential Investor (which amount shall include the amount of the
          principal balance plus any interest that may be due to such Potential
          Investors), the Escrow Agent will return the Subscription Funds

          instructions should include the amount of each refund to be issued to
          each such Unacceptable Investor (which amount shall include the amount
          of the principal balance plus any interest that may be due to such
          Unacceptable Investor), and which instructions shall be provided to
          the Escrow Agent prior to the issuance of Written Instructions under
          Section 5(a) or prior to the return of Subscription Funds under 5(b),
          whereupon the Escrow Agent shall issue such refunds. Unless otherwise
          agreed, such refunds shall be made in wire form.

          obligation hereunder except to hold the escrow funds as a depositary.
          Upon written notification by the Company of the appointment of the
          successor, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the balance of the

as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Escrow Account shall be created and maintained
subject to the customary rules and regulations of the Escrow Agent pertaining to such accounts.

          3. Ownership Of Escrow Account. Until such time as the funds deposited in the Escrow

the Escrow Agent shall return to each of the purchasers of the Units in the
Offering, as promptly as possible after such Termination Date and on the basis of
its records pertaining to the Escrow Account: (x) the sum which each purchaser
initially paid in on account of purchases of the Units in the Offering and (y) each
purchaser’s portion of the total interest earned on the Escrow Account as of the
Termination Date, (z) reduced by the transaction fees provided in paragraph 11
hereof. Computation of any purchaser’s share of the net interest earned will be a
weighted average based on the proportion of such purchaser’s deposit in the Escrow
Account from the Offering to all such purchasers’ deposits held by the Escrow Agent
and upon the length of time in days such deposit was held in the Escrow Account as
compared to all such deposits. All computations with respect to each purchaser’s
allocable share of net interest shall be made by the Escrow Agent, which
determinations shall be final and conclusive. Any amount paid or payable to a
purchaser pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be the property of such
purchaser, free and clear of any and all claims of the Company or its agents or
creditors; and the respective purchases of the Units made and entered into in the
Offering shall thereupon be deemed, ipso facto, to be cancelled. At such time as
the Escrow Agent shall have made all the payments called for in this paragraph, the
Escrow Agent shall be completely discharged and released of any and all further
responsibilities hereunder, except that Escrow Agent shall be required to prepare
and issue a single IRS Form 1099 to each investor in the event that funds are
returned to investors.

          9. Liability Of Escrow Agent. It is understood and agreed that the duties of the
Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature. It is further agreed that:

     A. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to enforce any of the terms or
conditions of any other agreement between the Company and any prospective purchaser
or purchaser, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for the performance by the
Company of its respective obligations under this Agreement.

     B. The Escrow Agent may, at its own discretion, refuse to accept any deposits
lacking required documentation or containing discrepancies.

     C. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to collect any check or other
payment instrument delivered to it hereunder that is dishonored, but the Escrow
Agent shall within a reasonable time return to the Company any such check or other
payment instrument together with any information which accompanied such check,
draft or other payment instrument.

     D. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to act in reliance upon any document,
instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and to assume that any person
purporting to give any notice or instructions in accordance with this Agreement or
in connection with any transaction to which this Agreement relates has been duly
authorized to do so. 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.

     E. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
hereunder except in the case of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. 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.

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

          10. Warranties To Escrow Agent. The Company warrants to and agrees with the Escrow
Agent that, unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company has not granted to
any party any lien, claim or security interest in the Escrow Account or any part thereof and has no
direct knowledge of any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code on file in any
jurisdiction claiming a security interest in or describing (whether specially or generally) the
Escrow Account or any part thereof.

          11. Fees And Expenses. In the event the Deposited Funds do not equal or exceed the
Minimum Escrow Deposit before the Termination Date or the Company does

4

 

not receive written debt financing commitments as described herein before the Termination
Date, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to a fee of $25 per purchaser, which fees shall be paid by
the Company. In the event the Escrow Agent renders any service not provided for in this Agreement,
or if the Company requests a substantial modification of its terms, or if any controversy arises,
or if the Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to this
escrow or its subject matter, the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such
extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs, attorney’s fees, including allocated costs of
in-house counsel, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation and the
Escrow Agent shall have the right to retain all documents and/or other things of value at any time
held by the Escrow Agent in this escrow until such compensation, fees, costs and expenses are paid.
The Company promises to pay these sums upon demand. Unless otherwise provided, the Company will pay
all of the Escrow Agent’s usual charges and the Escrow Agent may deduct such sums from the interest
on the Escrow Account only and not from principal deposited to the Escrow Account.

          12. Controversies. If any controversy arises between the Parties to this Agreement,
or with any other Party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions,
the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding
it. The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and funds and may wait for settlement of any such
controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s
discretion, the Escrow Agent may require, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for interest or damage. Furthermore,
the Escrow Agent may at its option file an action of interpleader requiring the Parties to answer
and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit
with the clerk of the court all documents and funds held in escrow, except all costs, expenses,
charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action
and which the Company agrees to pay. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully
released and discharged of and from all obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this
Agreement.

          13. Indemnification Of Escrow Agent. The Company and its successors and assigns agree
jointly and severally to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel
fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on the
Escrow Agent or incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties under
this Agreement, including but not limited to any litigation arising from this Agreement or
involving its subject matter. The Escrow Agent shall have a first lien on the property and papers
held under this Agreement for such compensation and expenses.

          14. Resignation Of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving
at least (30) days written notice to the Company provided, however, that no such resignation shall
become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent which shall be accomplished as
follows: The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain a successor escrow agent within thirty
(30) days after receiving such

5

 

notice. If the Company fails to agree upon a successor escrow agent within such time, the
Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor escrow agent authorized to do business in
the state of Missouri. The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting
such appointment and it shall without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties,
rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent.
The Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged from any further duties and liability under this
Agreement.

          15. Automatic Succession. Any company into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or
with which it may be consolidated, or any company to whom the Escrow Agent may transfer a
substantial amount of its global escrow business, shall be the Successor to the Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the Parties, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

     A. Governing Laws. This Agreement is to be construed and interpreted according
to Missouri law.

     B. Counterpart. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
