W I T N E S S E T H
-------------------
1. Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust are parties to a Share Exchange
Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2001, (the "Exchange Agreement")
pursuant to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received 1,785,000 shares of Special
Common Stock $.001 par value ("Common Stock") and the Trust has
received 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
2. Spacial desires to obtain certain financing wherein it wishes to sell
up to 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock (the "Financing").
3. Due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and the Trust's ownership of a substantial number of
shares of Common Stock, each of them would benefit materially if
Spacial completed the Financing.
4. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust wish to expedite the Financing without affecting
the ownership interest of other Spacial shareholders in Spacial.
5. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust have agreed to deposit in escrow
with the Escrow Agent a total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
received by them under the Exchange Agreement, part or all of which
shall be returned to Spacial for cancellation in the event the
Financing is consummated, all as provided in this Agreement.
6. The Escrow Agent has agreed to act as escrow agent to hold the shares
of Spacial Common Stock to be held in escrow in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
1
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. Deposit of Escrow Shares; Establishment of Escrow.
--------------------------------------------------
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is
delivering to the Escrow Agent Spacial Stock Certificate No. 1044 representing
151,464 shares of Common Stock, together with a stock power executed in blank by
▇▇▇▇▇▇, and the Trust is delivering to the Escrow Agent Spacial Stock
Certificate No. 1043 representing 848,536 shares of Common Stock, together with
a stock power executed in blank by the trustee on behalf of the Trust (such
certificates together with the shares represented thereby being referred to
herein as the "Escrow Shares"). The parties hereby appoint Snow ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
P.C. as the Escrow Agent (i) to hold the Escrow Shares, the stock powers and
such other securities or property (other than cash) delivered to the Escrow
Agent in connection with or with respect to such Escrow Shares (the "Escrow
Property") and (ii) to distribute the Escrow Property as herein provided. The
Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Property.
2. Release of Escrow Shares.
------------------------
(a) If Spacial expects to close the Financing within 90 days after the date
hereof, Spacial shall give a notice to the Escrow Agent, not later than five (5)
business days before the proposed closing date of such Financing (the "Proposed
Closing Date"), instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver the Escrow Property to
Spacial at the closing of such Financing (the "Closing"), which notice shall
also specify the Closing Date, the location of the Closing, and the total number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued to investors at such Closing. Spacial
shall send a copy of such notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust.
(b) If the Escrow Agent receives the notice provided for in Section 2(a)
(the "Closing Notice") and has not received by 5:00 p.m. New York time on the
business day immediately preceding the Proposed Closing Date a written notice
from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Trust objecting to Spacial's instructions, then the Escrow
Agent shall deliver the Escrow Property to Spacial at the Closing. If Spacial's
Closing Notice states that Spacial will be issuing fewer than 1,000,000 shares
of Common Stock at the Closing, then as a condition to the Escrow Agent's
delivery of the Escrow Property to Spacial, Spacial shall deliver to the Escrow
Agent (i) one or more certificates registered in the name of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ representing
a number of shares of Common Stock (and such other securities or property
constituting the Escrow Property delivered to Spacial) equal to 15.1464% of the
difference between 1,000,000 and the number of shares issued at such closing
(such difference being referred to herein as the "Excess Amount") and (ii) one
or more certificates registered in the name of the Trust representing a number
of shares of Common Stock (and such other securities or property constituting
the Escrow Property delivered to Spacial) equal to 84.8536% of the Excess
Amount. Promptly after the Escrow Agent's receipt of such stock certificates and
other property, if any, delivered to it pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
2
Escrow Agent shall deliver such stock certificates and other property to ▇▇▇▇▇▇
and the Trust, as applicable.
(c) If the Escrow Agent receives, on or before 5:00 p.m. New York time on
the business day immediately preceding the Proposed Closing Date, a written
notice from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Trust, with a copy thereof sent to Spacial, objecting
to Spacial's Closing Notice, the Escrow Agent shall take no action and make no
delivery of the Escrow Property except in accordance with (A) written
instructions signed by the Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust or (B) an order of a
court of competent jurisdiction. In the event of such an objection to notice,
the Escrow Agent shall be empowered in its sole discretion to deposit the Escrow
Property with a court of competent jurisdiction and to institute an action of
interpleader or other such action to resolve the dispute.
(d) If no Financing is scheduled to occur within 90 days after the date
hereof, but during such period Spacial has entered into a letter of intent or
other agreement with a person or entity that proposes to provide or obtain
Financing for Spacial, then Spacial shall send a notice thereof to the Escrow
Agent, with a copy thereof to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust. If a Closing of the sale of
Common Stock as contemplated by such letter of intent is scheduled to occur
within 180 days after the date of such letter of intent, then Spacial shall give
a Closing Notice to the Escrow Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust as provided in
Section 2(a) with respect to such Closing.
(e) If Spacial fails to provide a Closing Notice to the effect that the
Closing of the contemplated financing is scheduled to occur within 90 days after
the date hereof or within 180 days after the date of a letter of intent as
provided in Section 2(d), then the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow
Property to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust within ten (10) days after expiration of the
applicable period.
3. Adjustments to the Number of Escrow Shares.
-------------------------------------------
If Spacial shall effect any stock split, distribution, recapitalization,
subdivision, reclassification or other similar event during the term of this
Agreement, the Escrow Shares shall be subject to pro rata adjustment so
immediately thereafter the Escrow Shares held in escrow shall be correspondingly
increased to reflect an increase in the outstanding Common Stock or decreased to
reflect a decrease in the outstanding Common Stock.
4. Rights Regarding Escrow Shares.
-------------------------------
For so long as the Escrow Agent is holding the Escrow Shares under this
Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust shall retain full voting rights with respect to
the Escrow Shares registered in their respective names, and Spacial shall pay
all cash dividends or other property distributions other than securities issued
with respect to its stock, with respect to the Escrow Shares directly to ▇▇▇▇▇▇
and the Trust, as the case may be. If Spacial issues securities or distributes
property other than cash to the holders of its Common Stock, Spacial shall
deliver the securities issuable or
3
other property distributable with respect to the Escrow Shares to the Escrow
Agent, which securities or other property shall be registered in the names of
▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust, as appropriate, and held in escrow as herein provided. In
the event of a reverse stock split or other reorganization that results in a
smaller number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or other
securities, the Escrow Shares shall automatically represent such smaller number
of shares without any requirement on the part of the Escrow Agent to deliver or
exchange the Escrow Shares for other shares of Common Stock or other securities.
The Escrow Agent shall possess no right to tender or otherwise transfer the
Escrow Shares other than as set forth in this Agreement, and if the Escrow Agent
receives instructions on tender or other transfer thereof other than as
contemplated by Section 2, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify Spacial,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust in writing thereof, but shall not take any other action
with respect thereto, except as provided in this Escrow Agreement or as
instructed by Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust.
5. Term.
----
This Escrow Agreement shall continue in effect until the earlier of (i) the
Escrow Agent's delivery of all Escrow Property in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement or (ii) the Escrow Agent's receipt of written notice of
termination signed by Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust, directing the disposition
of the Escrow Shares, and the disposition thereof by the Escrow Agent pursuant
to such direction.
6. Obligations of the Escrow Agent.
-------------------------------
The Escrow Agent shall not have any liability under, or duty to inquire
into, the terms and provisions of any agreement, other than this Agreement. Its
duties are ministerial in nature, and the Escrow Agent shall not incur any
liability whatsoever so long at it has acted in good faith, except for willful
misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities hereunder except as expressly set forth herein; shall have no
investment responsibility with respect to funds or other property held
hereunder; and shall have no responsibility for ascertaining or taking any
action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or
other matters relating to any property held by it hereunder, whether or not the
Escrow Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge or notice of such matters, or
taking any steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any
property held by it hereunder.
The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its choice, including in-house
counsel, and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
in accordance with the advice of such counsel. The Escrow Agent shall not be
bound by any modification, amendment, termination, cancellation, rescission or
supersession of this Agreement unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Trust and the Escrow Agent, if its duties as Escrow Agent
hereunder are affected thereby, unless it shall have given its prior written
consent thereto.
In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or
rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party
to this Agreement which, in the
4
Escrow Agent's opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement,
it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation
shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed
otherwise in writing by the parties or by a final order or judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction. Alternatively, the Escrow Agent may, in its sole
discretion, deposit with the Clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction, any
and all funds, securities and other property held by it pursuant thereto and
thereupon and, shall stand fully relieved and discharged of any further duties
hereunder.
The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for following the
instructions herein contained or expressly provided for, or written instructions
given by Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Trust. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon any notice, certificate, affidavit, letter, document, or other
communication which is, upon reasonable verification, believed by the Escrow
Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper party or
parties, and may rely on statements contained therein without further inquiry or
investigation. Release by the Escrow Agent of the Escrow Shares shall not
constitute a distribution by Escrow Agent, or a legal opinion of Escrow Agent
that said release is lawful, or that said release does not violate any
Securities laws, or other agreements.
The Escrow Agent shall not have any responsibility for the genuineness or
validity of any document or other item deposited with it and any liability for
action in accordance with any written instructions or certificates given to it
hereunder and believed by it to be signed by the proper parties.
The Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of
any kind and shall not be required to initiate or defend any legal proceedings
or enforcement/investigatory actions of any kind which may be instituted against
it in respect of the subject matter of these instructions. If it does elect to
act it will do so only if it is indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost
and expense of such defense or initiation.
7. Release of Escrow Agent.
-----------------------
The Escrow Agent may at any time resign hereunder by giving written notice
of its resignation to Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust, at their addresses set
forth in this Agreement, at least 30 days prior to the date specified for such
resignation to take effect, and upon the effective date of such resignation, all
property then held by the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be delivered by it to
such person as may be designated by Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, or the Trust in writing,
whereupon all the Escrow Agent's obligations hereunder shall cease and
terminate. If no such person shall have been designated by such date, all
obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall nevertheless cease and
terminate. The Escrow Agent's sole responsibility thereafter shall be to keep
safely all property then held by it and to deliver the same to a person
designated by Spacial, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trust or in accordance with the directions
of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

legal costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
