written consent of the director, the parties hereto, and the holders of the public shares after action taken under the
following conditions. “Public shares” means those shares issued and outstanding, but excluding all shares held by the
promoters, directly or indirectly, beneficially or otherwise, and regardless of whether free of this escrow or not. Such
public shares must be permitted to vote as a class, and a majority of such class must have voted in favor of such action
at a meeting called for that purpose.

3. Shares not transferable:
So long as such escrowed shares remain subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, they shall not be sold,
pledged, hypothecated, transferred, alienated, assigned, or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, in any manner
whatsoever, except by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the director. If any such action is
consented to, the consent of the proposed transferees to execute an identical escrow agreement must be obtained.
4. Give-up shares:
Upon execution of this agreement, it is anticipated that promoters will own, in the form of escrowed promotional

shares (enter a figure not to exceed 33
/
percent)
percent of the total shares (including the shares

deposited herewith) to be issued and outstanding at the conclusion of the public offering. In the event all of the shares
offered are not sold, the promoters will surrender of shares to the company as necessary to maintain the stated give-
up-share percentage. The company agrees that such surrender will be accomplished in the manner set forth in
ORS 60.177.

The escrowed shares shall be considered to be issued and outstanding stock of the company and shall enjoy all voting
rights accorded to all other issued and outstanding shares of the same class. However, the number of such shares so
voted shall not exceed the percentage of the total issued and outstanding shares stated in Paragraph 4. If a reduction of
voting rights in the escrowed shares is required as a result of this limitation, such reduction shall be made on a pro rata
basis according to each promoter's relative percentage ownership. The promoters waive such voting rights in
accordance with this provision.
6. Participation in dividend:
The escrowed shares shall be considered to be issued and outstanding stock of the company and shall enjoy all
dividend privileges accorded to all other issued and out standing shares of the same class. However, the number of
such shares so participating in such dividend shall not exceed the percentage of the total issued and outstanding shares
stated in Paragraph 4. If a reduction of dividend participation in the escrowed shares is required as a result of this
limitation, such reduction shall be made on a pro rata basis according to each promoter's relative percentage of
ownership (see also Paragraph 7). The promoters waive such participation in dividends in accordance with this
provision.
