Gentlemen:
MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a corporation organized under the
Business Corporation Law of New York (the "Corporation") and the undersigned
(the "Holder") have requested that you (the "Escrow Agent") act as their agent
in respect of the conversion of $110,000 Series C Debentures (collectively, the
"Series C Debenture") of the Corporation. An irrevocable treasury order
directing issuance of the Common Shares in the capital of the Corporation
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures is being delivered to you pursuant to
a Resolution of the Board of Directors made on December 15, 1995, and an
Offshore Securities Subscription Agreement delivered by the Holder to the
Corporation (collectively referred to as the "Resolution and Agreement").
The Treasury Order is to be held by you as Escrow Agent until the
Shareholder elects to convert the Debentures in accordance with its terms and
thereafter the Treasury Order is to be delivered by you to American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, the transfer agent for the Corporation in New York, at
40 Wall Street, New York, New York (the "Transfer Agent") with the correct
number of Common Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Debentures shall be
duly entered on the Treasury Order pursuant to instructions to the Corporation
from the Holder. Such calculation shall be by both the Corporation and the
Holder be in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4 of the Debenture, a
copy of which is attached to this Escrow Agreement as Schedule "A". In the
event that there is a difference between the two calculations, you will enter
the large number in the Treasury Order and direct the Transfer Agent in the
Treasury Order to issue a separate share certificate to you representing the
difference between the results of the two calculations (the "Difference
Certificate"). Thereafter, you will deliver the share certificate or
certificates representing the Common Shares except the Difference Certificate as
you are directed by the Holder.
You shall be entitled to act and rely upon any written statement,
request, notice or instructions respecting the transactions covered by this
Escrow Agreement given to you by the Corporation, and/or any of the undersigned,
pursuant to the Resolution and Agreement not only as to the authorization,
validity and effectiveness thereof, but also as to the correctness and
acceptability of any information therein contained.
It is understood that you assume no responsibility or liability to any
person, other than to deal with the Treasury Order deposited with you and the
Debentures deposited with you by the Holder duly endorsed for transfer (the
"Deposit Documents") and share certificates representing Common Shares received
on conversion of the Debentures from the Transfer Agent in accordance with the
provisions hereof. In case of the issuance of a Difference Certificate, the
decision of an independent chartered accountant agreed to by the Corporation and
the Escrow Agent and paid for by the Corporation will be final. You will
deliver the Difference Certificate to the Holder or to the direction of the
Holder if such decision supports the higher result of calculation of the number
of Common Shares issuable on conversion of the Debentures and will surrender it
to the Corporation through the agency of the Transfer Agent for cancellation or
for partial cancellation and/or issue of a smaller or larger number of Common
Shares if such calculation is in favor of a result other than the calculation
upon which issue the Difference Certificate is based.
