Each Unit will consist of one (1) share of the Company’s Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and a warrant to purchase 0.25 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $2 per share (each a “Warrant” collectively the “Warrants”). The price of a Unit sold to the public will be $10.00 per Unit (the “Offering Price”), in minimum investment amounts of $5,000 (500 Units) per investment, in a public offering exempt from registration under Section 3(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Tier 2 under Regulation A promulgated thereunder (the “Offering”). The Warrants have an expiration date of seven (7) years from the Qualification Date. The “Qualification Date” shall mean the date of qualification of the Units as exempt from registration by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Regulation A. The Units are more fully described in the offering circular that will accompany the offering statement for a Tier 2 offering under Regulation A on Form 1-A dated , 2016 (the “Offering Circular”).

This Agreement is made and entered into by the Company and you, Xxxxxxx Securities Co., Inc. (“Xxxxxxx”), and the foregoing parties agree to the following set forth in this Agreement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxxx has selected The Benchmark Company, LLC (“Benchmark”) to be the co-managing broker-dealer for the Offering in conjunction with Xxxxxxx (Xxxxxxx and Benchmark shall together be defined in this Agreement as the “Sales Agent”). Xxxxxxx and Benchmark have entered

into a Co-Agent Agreement of even date herewith to govern the matters arising between themselves as the Sales Agent herein. Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, the Sales Agent agrees to act as agent of the Company in the sale of the Units on a “best efforts” basis, and “best efforts” herein shall mean commercially reasonable best efforts.

1. The Offering. The Company proposes to offer the Units for sale at the Offering Price, payable in cash pursuant to receipt of payment and execution of subscription order agreements from investors. This Agreement sets forth the terms under which the Company is engaging the Sales Agent as selling agent for the Company in the Offering, and the Sales Agent hereby agrees to serve in such capacity, the terms of which relationship are set forth in this Agreement.

In connection with the Offering, the Sales Agent has assisted and will assist the Company with the following services: (a) assisting, with the Company’s counsel, in its preparation of the offering documentation to be distributed in the Offering; (b) preparing with management of the Company other materials or information provided to potential investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the Offering, including any roadshow or potential investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) (the “Marketing Materials”); and (c) assisting in the coordination of investor meetings. All Marketing Materials shall be subject to approval by the Company and the Sales Agent prior to any public distribution or other use thereof.

2. Retention of the Sales Agent; Compensation; Sale and Delivery of the Units. The Company hereby appoints the Sales Agent as its placement agent and principal distributor for the purpose of selling for cash, on a “best efforts” basis, at the Offering Price a minimum of 300,000 Units totaling $3,000,000 (the “Minimum Offering Amount”) and a maximum of 3,000,000 Units totaling $30,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”) through the Dealers, defined below, all of whom shall be members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Company and the Sales Agent understand and agree that the Sales Agent shall have the right to enter into Participating Dealer Agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Participating Dealer Agreement”) with other broker-dealers participating in the Offering (each dealer being referred to herein, as a “Dealer” and said dealers being collectively referred to herein as the “Dealers”). The Sales Agent may also sell Units for cash directly to its own clients and customers at the Offering Price and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Offering Circular and this Agreement.

On the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sales Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Units on said terms and conditions. It is acknowledged by the Company that the Sales Agent shall not be obligated to purchase any Units for its own account or with a view to distribution and shall not be obligated to take any action which the Sales Agent deems to be inconsistent with any applicable law, regulation, decision or order. Subscriptions will be offered as described in the Offering Circular. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the appointment of the Sales Agent will

terminate upon completion of the Offering. The Company will not sell or agree to sell any debt or equity securities of the Company other than in connection with the grant to the Company’s executive officers and independent directors of options to purchase Common Stock through the Sales Agent during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (i) the Final Closing Date (as defined below) or (ii) the date of termination if the Offering is terminated as provided herein. The Company shall have the right to issue shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants, granted by Xxxxx XxXxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (the “Grantors”) pursuant to an Option Agreement dated March 16, 2016, whereby the Grantors granted to Avon Road Partners, L.P., an affiliate of Mr. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, the right to purchase shares of Common Stock held by the Grantors.

If all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Offering are satisfied, the Company agrees to issue the Units sold in the Offering against payment to the Company by any means authorized pursuant hereto; provided, however, that no funds shall be released to the Company until the conditions specified in Section 9 hereof shall have been complied with, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Sales Agent. It is understood that no sale shall be regarded as effective unless and until accepted by the Company in its sole discretion. Each investor in the offering must invest a minimum of $5,000 per subscription (500 Units).

Promptly after the Qualification Date the Sales Agent and the Dealers shall commence the Offering of the Units for cash to the public in jurisdictions in which the Units are registered or qualified for sale or in which such Offering is otherwise permitted. The first release of Units against payment therefor shall be made on a date (“Initial Closing Date”) acceptable to the Company and the Sales Agent in accordance with the Offering Circular (the “Initial Closing”), provided that the Company has verified subscriptions for Units equal to or greater than the Minimum Offering Amount. Each date upon which the Company shall release or deliver the Units sold in the Offering (each defined herein as a “Closing”), in accordance with the terms herein, is called a “Closing Date.” The “Final Closing Date” shall mean the date on when the last Closing Date of the Offering occurs. In accordance with the terms and conditions hereof the Sales Agent and the Company agree to utilize a platform operated by Folio Investments, Inc. (“Folio”), a FINRA member and SEC-registered broker-dealer and clearing firm. The Company and the Sales Agent agree that investors shall exclusively utilize the Folio platform for the Initial Closing. For Closings after the Initial Closing investors may, but shall not be required to, utilize Folio or may utilize the services of an escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), to be selected by the Sales Agent, provided that an Escrow Agent is deemed appropriate and beneficial for the Offering.

As a condition to the transfer of funds from subscribers to the Company for the Initial Closing only, the total amount of subscriptions accepted by the Company and supported by cleared funds in subscriber brokerage accounts at Folio must be equal to or greater than the Minimum Offering Amount. When funds from all subscriptions in the offering equal or exceed the Minimum Offering Amount are deposited with Folio for the exclusive benefit of customers by no later than the end of the Minimum Offering Period, the funds will be transferred to the Company for the Initial Closing. Funds from subscriptions will be held by Folio in customer accounts for the exclusive benefit of its customers until such time as all conditions to the Initial Closing are met before being transferred to the Company’s account, which the Company shall establish with Folio.

The Initial Closing shall occur after the Minimum Offering Amount of $3,000,000 is raised in accordance with the Plan of Distribution section of the Offering Circular (the “Plan of Distribution”), but in no event will it occur more than six (6) months after the Qualification Date (the “Minimum Offering Period”). If the Minimum Offering Amount is not raised for this Offering prior to or on the last day of the Minimum Offering Period or the Company elects to terminate the Offering prior to the end of the Minimum Offering Period upon payment of an Early Termination Fee as provided for below, the Offering will terminate and the investors will receive a full refund of the amounts which they have invested in the Offering, which means that such funds shall remain in the Folio accounts for the benefit of the investors and shall not be transferred to the Company. The Company has the option to terminate the Offering prior to the expiration of the Minimum Offering Period provided that the Company first pays to the Sales Agent an early termination fee, relating to expenses incurred by the Sales Agent, equal to Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), (the “Early Termination Fee”) which shall be in addition to the payment of the Retainer as defined herein.

The Company and the Sales Agent agree to conduct the Initial Closing so that the investments made as part of raising the Minimum Offering Amount for the Initial Closing will be made through an investment platform operated by Folio, as described in the Plan of Distribution. After the Minimum Offering Amount is raised, investments may be made by Dealers for investors either through the Folio platform or, if requested by a Dealer or investor and deemed appropriate and beneficial for the Offering by the Sales Agent, then through an Escrow Agent, without having to establish an account with Folio. The Sales Agent retains the right to engage an Escrow Agent of its choice to provide escrow services for the Offering if the Sales Agent deems that the use of an Escrow Agent would be appropriate and beneficial for completion on the Offering.

As of the date hereof, the Company has entered into the Issuer Custody and Services Agreement with Folio (the “Custody Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agrees to issue uncertificated securities to be held in the Company’s account at Folio, and the Units held in such account or accounts at Folio will show as an omnibus position on the Company’s records and the transfer agent’s records in the name of “Folio Investments, Inc. for the exclusive benefit of its customers.” The Company’s brokerage account with Folio will hold the Units to be sold in the offering in book-entry form.

After raising the Minimum Offering Amount and completing the Initial Closing, subsequent Closings will occur when: (i) the Company raises an additional $3,000,000 (300,000 Units) over the amount raised in the immediately preceding Closing; or (ii) two (2) months after the immediately preceding Closing, whichever occurs first. The Company and the Sales Agent may jointly agree to conduct a Closing earlier than the two months or the sale of 300,000 incremental Units as provided in the preceding sentence. Prior to raising the Minimum Offering Amount the prospective investors have the right to the return of all invested funds deposited in the prospective investor’s Folio account prior to a Closing, including the Initial Closing. Investors will not have a right to a return of invested funds after a Closing and the invested funds have been transferred to the Company.

After the Initial Closing, if any one of the subsequent Closings fails to result in raising an incremental aggregate amount of at least $3,000,000 or if the Offering is discontinued for any reason prior to raising an incremental aggregate amount of at least $3,000,000, the amount actually raised will be disbursed to the Company and the Units will be issued to the investors. The Offering may be terminated by the Company prior to raising the Maximum Offering Amount. The Offering shall expire twelve (12) months after the Qualification Date (“Offering Expiration Date”). After the Initial Closing the Offering will continue until the first to occur of the following: (i) the raising of the Maximum Offering Amount of $30,000,000; (ii) the termination of the Offering; or (iii) the Offering Expiration Date.

The Sales Agent shall receive the following compensation for its services hereunder, which may be re-allowable in whole or part to Dealers:

(a) The Sales Agent shall receive a commission on each Closing Date equal to six percent (6%) of the aggregate dollar amount of the Units sold in the Offering (the “Sales Fee”). The Sales Agent has received $40,000 as a retainer (the “Retainer”) and the Retainer shall be credited against the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Offering in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(C) and Section 2(c) below.

(b) The Company will provide the Sales Agent on each Closing Date with a non-accountable expense allowance of one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate dollar amount of the gross proceeds of the Units sold during each such Closing (the “Non- Accountable Expenses”) as contemplated by Section 8 hereof and as permitted by FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(B).

(c) The Company shall pay or reimburse the Sales Agent as co-managing broker-dealer of the Offering for all actual, accountable and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Sales Agent (the “Accountable Expenses”) not to exceed one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate dollar amount of the gross proceeds of the Units sold during the Offering to the extent permitted as accountable expenses under FINRA Rules.

(d) The Sales Fee, the payment for Non-Accountable Expenses, the payment for the Accountable Expenses, and all other fees or commissions payable hereunder payable by the Company to the Sales Agent in respect of a Closing shall be paid in same day funds on each applicable Closing Date for the aggregate dollar amount of the gross proceeds of the Units sold at such Closing during the Offering, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Sales Agent in writing.

(e) The Company shall pay Folio for its services in the offering equal to 0.50% (50 basis points) of the aggregate dollar amount of the proceeds of the Units sold in the offering (the “Folio Fee”) pursuant to the Custody Agreement. For this Offering 100% of the 50 basis points compensation paid to FOLIO will be allocated to accountable expenses,

which under the FINRA 5110 filing process are, as of the date hereof, viewed as underwriter compensation. In addition to the Folio Fee, Folio may participate in the offering as a Dealer in the sale of the Units. In its capacity as a Dealer, Folio shall be entitled to receive a reallowance on commissions in accordance with a Participating Dealer and Selling Agreement entered into between the Sales Agent and Folio, which shall be for Folio’s underwriting services as a Dealer and shall be separate and distinct from the Folio Fee.

(f) The Folio Fee of 0.5% (50 basis points) of the aggregate dollar amount of the proceeds of the Units sold in the offering shall be payable by the Company to Folio. The total Accountable Expenses of the Sales Agent as defined by FINRA shall not exceed 1.00% and the Non-Accountable Expenses of the Sales Agent as defined by FINRA shall be 1.00% of the aggregate dollar amount of the Units sold in the offering.

Subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110, except as provided in Section 2(a) hereof, the Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses related to its counsel. The Sales Agent shall pay the fees of its counsel from the funds provided as part of the Accountable Expenses and Sales Fees. Other fees and expenses typical of such an offering will be payable by the Company such as, but not limited to, Escrow Agent fees, if an Escrow Agent is established, Folio Fee, wire transfer fees, CUSIP numbers, valuation fees, due diligence review fees, DTC clearing, RBC clearing, Blue Sky fees and expenses, SEC and FINRA fees and expenses, travel necessary to implement the forgoing, and printing of Offering Circulars and delivery of same. The forgoing fees may be payable from Accountable Expenses to the extent allowed under FINRA Rules but the Accountable Expenses shall not exceed one (1.0%) of the aggregate dollar amount of the Units sold in the Offering. The Company will also be responsible for all accounting and auditing services to be rendered by a United States headquartered accounting firm, for auditing its financial statements and associated costs in connection with the services rendered by an accounting firm in connection with an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation A+.

(g) The Sales Agent may reduce the Sales Fee in its sole discretion with respect to Units sold to: (i) clients of investment advisors registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended or under applicable state securities laws (other than any registered investment advisor that is also registered as a broker-dealer, with the exception of clients who have “wrap” accounts which have asset based fees with such advisor); (ii) registered principals or representatives of the Sales Agent or any Dealer (and immediate family members of any of the foregoing); (iii) the Company’s or its subsidiary’s employees, officers and directors or the affiliates of any of the foregoing entities (and the immediate family members of any of the foregoing persons), any benefit plan established exclusively for the benefit of such persons or entities, and, if approved by the Company’s board of directors, joint venture partners, consultants and other service providers; (iv) any investor in an entity affiliated with the Company; and (v) any other person identified by the Company and agreed to by the Sales Agent.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the Offering, sale of the Units or any other services the Sales Agent may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Sales Agent: (i) no fiduciary relationship exists between the Company or any other related person, on the one hand, and the Sales Agent, on the other hand; (ii) any duties and obligations that the Sales Agent may have to the Company shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iii) the Sales Agent and its affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company.

The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance by the Commission or any state authority of any such order and, if any such order shall at any time be issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest reasonably practicable time.

(b) The Company will deliver to the Sales Agent such number of copies of the Offering Circular, as amended or supplemented, as the Sales Agent may reasonably request. After the Closing of the Offering, the Company shall furnish to all shareholders of the Company, quarterly financial statements accompanied by the Company’s management discussion and analysis of the same as well as annual audited financial statement audited by the Company’s auditors and such other notices that the Sales Agent shall reasonably request or that may be required by law.

(c) The Company will comply in all material respects and will direct its Subsidiary to comply in all material respects with any and all terms, conditions, requirements and provisions with respect to the Offering and the transactions contemplated thereby imposed by the Commission, by applicable federal and state law and regulations, and by applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, to be complied with prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date; and when the Offering Circular is required to be delivered, the Company will comply in all material respects, at its own expense, with all material requirements imposed upon it by the Commission, by applicable state law and regulations and by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, in each case as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales or dealing in the Units during such period in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Offering Circular.

(d) If any event relating to or affecting the Company or the Subsidiary shall occur, as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company or for the Sales Agent, to amend or supplement the Offering Circular in order to make it not misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time of its use, the Company will, at its expense, forthwith prepare and furnish to the Sales Agent, a reasonable number of copies of an amendment or amendments of, or a supplement or supplements to, the Offering Circular (in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Sales Agent after a reasonable time for review) which will amend or supplement the Offering Circular so that as amended or supplemented it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time, not misleading. For the purpose of this subsection, the Company will furnish such information with respect to itself and its Subsidiary as the Sales Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(e) If applicable, the Company will endeavor in good faith, in cooperation with the Sales Agent, to register or to qualify the Units for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of the jurisdictions identified in the Offering Circular, as the same may be amended, in which the Offering will be conducted; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified.

(f) The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used substantially in the manner set forth in the Offering Circular under the caption “Use of Proceeds.”

(g) Prior to any Closing Date, the Company will inform the Sales Agent of any event or circumstances of which it is aware as a result of which the Offering Circular, as then supplemented or amended, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

(h) The Offering Circular shall be acceptable in form and substance to the Sales Agent in its reasonable discretion and will not be amended without the mutual consent of the Company and the Sales Agent; provided, however, that the Company may amend the

Offering Circular without the consent of the Sales Agent in order to comply with requirements of the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations or request of the Commission but only following 5 business days’ notice of such required amendment to the Sales Agent.

(i) The Company will not accept subscriptions for the Units in the Offering until the Company has satisfied or caused to be satisfied each condition set forth in Section 9 hereof, unless such condition is waived in writing by the Sales Agent.

Board meetings will be held at least quarterly and the Sales Agent Observer shall have the right to attend via phone if permitted under Delaware law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may exclude the Sales Agent Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if: (A) the Board concludes in good faith that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel; provided, however, that any such exclusion shall apply only to such portion of the material or such portion of the meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege and not to any other portion thereof; or (B) such portion of a meeting is an executive session limited solely to independent director members of the Board, independent auditors and/or legal counsel, as the Board may designate, and the Sales Agent Observer (assuming the Sales Agent Observer were a member of the Board) would not meet the then-applicable standards for independence adopted by the New York Stock Exchange, or such other exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded. The Sales Agent Observer shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Sales Agent Observer in connection with attendance in person at Board meetings. If the Company becomes a “reporting company” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (a “34 Act Company”), the rights of the Sales Agent Observer to attend meetings of the Company’s board of directors shall end.

(k) The Company shall retain an independent investment research firm approved or acceptable to the Sales Agent, whose approval or acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld, to provide ongoing research information on the Company, provided, however, once the Company is a 34 Act Company, the Company shall no longer be required to retain such independent investment research firm.

(l) The Company, at its expense, shall provide a due diligence report of the Company and the Subsidiary (the “Company’s Due Diligence Report”) by a firm acceptable to both the Company and the Sales Agent to perform and report on its due diligence investigation.

(f) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Sales Agent will not conflict with or constitute a default under any of its organizational documents or other similar agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, or, to the Sales Agent’s knowledge, under any rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Sales Agent, except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 10 of this Agreement may be limited under applicable securities laws.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sales Agent and each of the Dealers and their officers, directors, partners and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, claims (including the reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Dealer or the Sales Agent, or their respective Indemnified Parties, may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by the Company, any material breach of a covenant contained herein by the Company or any material failure by the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or to comply with state or federal securities laws applicable to the Offering, or (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in any Offering Circular or any post-qualification amendment thereto or (ii) in any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company or the Subsidiary or on its or their behalf specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Units for sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction, if required or based upon written information furnished by the Company or the Subsidiary under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”), or (c) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Offering Circular or any post-qualification amendment thereof or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse each Dealer or the Sales Agent, and their respective Indemnified Parties, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Dealer or the Sales Agent, and their respective Indemnified Parties, in connection with investigating or defending such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished either (x) to the Company by the Sales Agent or (y) to the Company or the Sales Agent by or on behalf of any Dealer, in each case expressly for use in the Offering Circular or any post-qualification amendment thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Subsidiary may otherwise have.

(b) The Sales Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its respective Indemnified Parties from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the aforesaid parties may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims (including the

reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by the Sales Agent, any material breach of a covenant contained herein by the Sales Agent, or any material failure by the Sales Agent to perform its obligations hereunder or (b) any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in any Offering Circular or any post-qualification amendment thereto or (ii) any Blue Sky Application, or (c) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Offering Circular or any post-qualification amendment thereof or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided, however, that in each case described in clauses (b) and (c) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Sales Agent expressly for use in the Offering Circular or any such post-qualification amendments thereof, or (d) any use of sales literature by the Sales Agent not authorized or approved by the Company or any use of “broker-dealer use only” materials with members of the public concerning the offered Units by the Sales Agent, or (e) any untrue statement made by the Sales Agent or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Units, or (f) any material violation by the Sales Agent of this Agreement, or (g) any failure by the Sales Agent to comply with applicable laws governing money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts in connection with the Offering, including applicable FINRA Rules, Exchange Act Regulations and the USA PATRIOT Act, or (h) any other failure by the Sales Agent to comply with applicable FINRA, Securities Act or Exchange Act Regulations. The Sales Agent will reimburse the aforesaid parties in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Sales Agent may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection, unless and to the extent that such indemnifying party did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that (i) representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (ii) that there may be legal defenses available

to the indemnified party or parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys together with appropriate local counsel at any time for all indemnified parties not having actual or potential differing interests with any indemnified party. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election so to appoint counsel to defend such action and approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement entered into without its consent and will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). The indemnifying party agrees that, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, it will not enter into any settlement of a lawsuit, claim or other proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated herein unless such settlement (i) includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such lawsuit, claim or other proceeding of such indemnified party and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Sales Agent on the other from the offering of the Units. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Sales Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Sales Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total fees, commissions and other compensation received by the Sales Agent, in each

case as set forth in the table and the footnotes thereto on the cover page of the Offering Circular. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Sales Agent on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Sales Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director, employee and agent of the Sales Agent and each person, if any, who controls the Sales Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of Sales Agent under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Sales Agent may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director, employee and agent of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. All indemnities, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Sales Agent, or any controlling person of the Sales Agent, or the Company or any director, officer or manager or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Units. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, including without limitation any termination pursuant to Section 12, the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 10 and the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect at all times.
