Agreement to Lend Lender hereby agrees to lend up to but not in excess of the Loan Amount to Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to borrow such sum from Lender, all upon and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such sum to be evidenced by the Note. No principal amount repaid by Borrower may be reborrowed by Borrower. Borrower's liability for repayment of the interest on account of the Loan shall be limited to and calculated with respect to Loan proceeds actually disbursed to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Note and only from the date or dates of such disbursements. After notice to Borrower, Lender may, in Lender's sole discretion, disburse Loan proceeds by journal entry to pay interest and financing costs and, following an uncured Event of Default, disburse Loan proceeds directly to third parties to pay costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor for Total Operating Expenses to the extent that Total Operating Expenses (including the Asset Management Fee), in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income for that period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. Reimbursement of all or any portion of the Total Operating Expenses that exceed the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence may, at the option of the Advisor, be deferred without interest and may be reimbursed in any subsequent Expense Year where such limitation would permit such reimbursement if the Total Operating Expense were incurred during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that all or a portion of such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, the Excess Amount may be reimbursed to the Advisor. If the Independent Directors determine such excess was justified, then, after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which there is an Excess Amount for the 12 months then ended paid to the Advisor, the Advisor, at the direction of the Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed in the next quarterly report of the Company or in a separate writing and sent to the Stockholders within 60 days of such quarter end, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such Excess Amount was justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee. All figures used in any computation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
Agreement to Act as Placement Agent (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Placement Agent shall be the exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the offering and sale by the Company of the Securities pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-221741) (as amended from time to time and including the exhibits thereto at any given time, the “Registration Statement”), with the terms of such offering (the “Offering”) to be subject to market conditions and negotiations between the Company, the Placement Agent and the prospective Investors. The Placement Agent will act on a reasonable best efforts basis and the Company agrees and acknowledges that there is no guarantee of the successful placement of the Securities, or any portion thereof, in the prospective Offering. Under no circumstances will the Placement Agent or any of its “Affiliates” (as defined below) be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Securities for its own account or otherwise provide any financing. The Placement Agent shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as principal. The Placement Agent shall have no authority to bind the Company with respect to any prospective offer to purchase Securities and the Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Securities and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Securities shall be made at one or more closings (each a “Closing” and the date on which each Closing occurs, a “Closing Date”). As compensation for services rendered, on each Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent the fees and expenses set forth below: (i) A cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Securities at the Closing. (ii) The Company also agrees to reimburse Placement Agent’s expenses (with supporting invoices/receipts) up to a maximum of $90,000, payable immediately upon a Closing of the Offering. (b) In addition to the foregoing fees and expenses, the Company acknowledges that at the first Closing, the Company shall pay the Placement Agent an additional $60,000, representing fees earned by the Placement Agent for serving as placement agent to the Company in the private placement of the Company’s securities pursuant to its securities purchase agreement dated October 26, 2017 (the “October 2017 Placement”). The balance of the fees payable to the Placement Agent pursuant to the October 2017 Placement, or $60,000, shall be payable upon the closing of the Company’s next public or private offering of securities, including, without limitation, any Future Offering (as defined below). (c) The term of the Placement Agent’s exclusive engagement will be until the completion of the Offering. The Placement Agent shall be entitled to collect all fees under this Agreement earned through termination. In addition to the foregoing, the Company hereby grants to the Placement Agent the exclusive right (such right, the “Right of First Refusal”), for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the date hereof, to provide investment banking services to the Company on an exclusive basis in all matters involving the Company’s equity securities or other instruments that may at any time be convertible into, exchangeable for, or otherwise entitle the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, equity securities of the Company, for which investment banking services are sought by the Company (a “Future Offering”). In connection with the Right of First Refusal, investment banking services shall include, without limitation, (i) acting as lead, book-running manager for any underwritten public offering; (ii) acting as exclusive placement agent or financial advisor in connection with any private offering of securities of the Company; and (iii) acting as financial advisor in connection with any sale or other transfer by the Company, directly or indirectly, of a majority or controlling portion of its capital stock or assets to another entity, any purchase or other transfer by another entity, directly or indirectly, of a majority or controlling portion of the capital stock or assets of the Company, and any merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity. At any time during such period that the Company contemplates conducting a Future Offering, the Company shall deliver to the Placement Agent a written notice (the “Notice”) stating its intention to conduct the Future Offering, the material terms and conditions thereof, including the amount to be raised and the type of security to be issued and the compensation requested by the competing broker-dealer firm if any, and an offer to the Placement Agent to manage the Future Offering pursuant to this Right of First Refusal. At any time within 30 days after receipt of the Notice, the Placement Agent may, by giving written notice to the Company, elect to exercise this Right of First Refusal. The failure of the Placement Agent to exercise this Right of First Refusal within such 30 day period will be deemed a rejection of the offer solely with respect to the applicable Future Offering. Any decision by the Placement Agent to act in any such capacity shall be contained in separate agreements, which agreements would contain, among other matters, provisions for customary fees for transactions of similar size and nature, as may be mutually agreed upon, and indemnification of the Placement Agent and its Affiliates and shall be subject to general market conditions. If the Placement Agent declines to exercise the Right of First Refusal (which it may do in its sole and absolute discretion), the Company shall have the right to retain any other person or persons to provide such services on terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to such other person or persons than the terms declined by the Placement Agent. (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of the Placement Agent or its Affiliates to pursue, investigate, analyze, invest in, or engage in investment banking, financial advisory or any other business relationship with Persons (as defined below) other than the Company. As used herein (i) “Persons” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind and (ii) “Affiliate” means any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Indemnification of the Agent The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Agent or such officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or the laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Shares have been offered or sold or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and to reimburse the Agent and each such officer, employee and controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Agent) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Agent or such officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any such Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Agent to the Company consists of the information described in subsection (b) below.
