By executing and delivering this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent accepts the duties and obligations of Escrow <br />Agent hereunder. <br />Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, and no additional duties or obligations shall be <br />implied hereunder. In performing its duties under this Escrow Agreement, or upon the claimed failure to perform any of its duties <br />hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses which may be incurred as a result of <br />Escrow Agent so acting or failing to so act; provided, however, Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability for damages arising <br />out of its proven gross negligence or willful misconduct under this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall in no event incur any <br />liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith upon advice of legal counsel, which may be counsel to <br />any party hereto, given with respect to any question relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent hereunder or (ii) any <br />action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any instrument delivered to Escrow Agent and believed by it to be genuine and to <br />have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by any agreement or <br />contract between Lessor and Lessee, including the Master Lease, whether or not Escrow Agent has knowledge of any such agreement <br />or contract. <br />Section 2.2. Authority. Each of the parties has authority to enter into this Escrow Agreement, and has taken all actions necessary to <br />authorize the execution of this Escrow Agreement by the representatives whose signatures are affixed hereto. <br />ARTICLE III. EQUIPMENT ACQUISITION FUND <br />Section 3.1. Equipment Acquisition Fund. Escrow Agent shall establish a special escrow account designated as the "Equipment <br />Acquisition Fund" (the "Equipment Acquisition Fund"), shall keep such Equipment Acquisition Fund separate and apart from all other <br />funds and moneys held by it and shall administer such Equipment Acquisition Fund as provided in this Escrow Agreement. <br />Section 3.2. Deposit. Upon execution of the Lease and delivery to Lessor by Lessee of all documents required to be delivered thereunder, <br />Lessor shall deposit or cause to be deposited with Escrow Agent an amount equal to the Initial Deposit Amount. Escrow Agent shall credit <br />such amount to the Equipment Acquisition Fund. The Initial Deposit Amount is to be sent by Lessor to Escrow Agent by wire transfer to: <br />SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, ABA# 061000104, Account# 9443001321, Account Name: Escrow Services Richmond, <br />Beneficiary as shown on Schedule I, Attention: Matthew Ward. <br />Section 3.3.

Escrow Agent shall use the moneys in the Equipment Acquisition Fund from time to time to pay the <br />Acquisition Cost of each item of Equipment, within a reasonable time of receipt with respect thereto of a Payment Request Form executed <br />by Lessor and Lessee. Upon receipt of a Payment Request Forth executed by Lessor and Lessee, an amount equal to the Acquisition Cost <br />as shown therein shall be paid directly by Escrow Agent to the person or entity entitled to payment as specified therein. Although the <br />Payment Request Form may have schedules, invoices and other supporting document attached to it, Lessor will send to Escrow Agent only <br />the page or pages showing the signatures of Lessor and Lessee, the Acquisition Cost and related payment information, without such <br />schedules, invoices or other supporting documentation. Escrow Agent may act and rely upon the signed Payment Request Forth without <br />the need to review or verify any such schedules, invoices or other supporting documentation. <br />Section 3.4. Transfers Upon Completion. Unless all of the funds deposited by Lessor in the Equipment Acquisition Fund have been <br />previously disbursed pursuant to Section 3.3 or paid to Lessor pursuant to Section 3.5, on the Ending Date shown on Schedule I, Escrow <br />Agent shall pay upon written direction all remaining moneys in the Equipment Acquisition Fund to Lessor or its assignee for application as <br />a prepayment of the unpaid Principal under the related Lease. Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be subject to a <br />prepayment fee equal to two percent (2 %) of such amount. Lessor shall apply amounts received under this Section 3.4 first to unpaid fees, <br />late charges and collection costs, if any, which have accrued or been incurred under the Master Lease, then to overdue Principal and <br />Interest on the Lease and then, in the sole discretion of Lessor, either (i) to Principal payments thereafter due under the Lease in the inverse <br />order of their maturities or (ii) proportionately to each Principal payment thereafter due under the Lease. In the event that Lessor elects to <br />apply any such amounts in accordance with clause (i) of the preceding sentence, Lessee shall continue to make Rental Payments as <br />scheduled in the applicable Payment Schedule. In the event that Lessor elects to apply such amounts in accordance with clause (ii) of this <br />Section 3.4, Lessor shall provide Lessee with a revised Payment Schedule which shall reflect the revised Principal balance and reduced <br />Rental Payments due under the Lease. Capitalized terms used in this Section 3.4, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings given to <br />such terms in the Lease. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to see to the appropriate application of any moneys returned under this <br />Section 3.4. <br />28 <br />5/16/ 2013: BQ- ESCfamtem.D0C /rev.01 /04.st1 <br />
