Each Buyer represents and warrants to the Company, that:

5.1 Investment Purpose. Each Buyer is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, each Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. The Buyer acknowledges that a legend will be placed on the certificates representing the Securities in the following form:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE REASONABLE SATISFACTION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER.

5.2 Accredited Investor Status. Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

5.3 Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the Units are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and each Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of each Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of each Buyer to acquire the Units.

5.4 Information. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and other information each Buyer deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Units, which have been requested by each Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of the SEC Documents. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries, nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by any Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives, shall modify, amend or affect each Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s and Operating Sub’s representations and warranties contained in Article VI below. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Units.

5.5 No Governmental Review. Each Buyer understands that no United States federal or state Governmental Authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Units, nor have such Governmental Authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units.

5.6 Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of each Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of each Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

5.7 General Solicitation. The Buyer is not purchasing the Units as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Units published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. The Buyer represents that it has a relationship preceding its decision to purchase the Units with the Company.

None of the Insurance Policies will lapse or terminate as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company has complied with the provisions of such Insurance Policies.

(i) Removal of Restrictive Legends. In the event that any Buyer has any shares of the Company’s Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and such Buyer, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or otherwise, and the Company and or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason (except to the extent that such refusal or failure is based solely on applicable Law that would prevent the removal of such restrictive legends) to render an opinion of counsel or any other documents or certificates required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that such Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to such Buyer render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by such Buyer, and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified by such Buyer, certificates, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.

(iii) Injunction and Specific Performance. The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provision of this Section 7.3(c), each Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 7.3(c) by the Company, each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to all other rights or remedies such Buyer may have, at law or in equity, an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Section 7.3(c).

MATTERS RELATING TO THE BUYERS

11.1 Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any one or more of the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase the Units pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by each such Buyer independently of any other Buyer and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its subsidiaries, if any, which may have been made or given by any other Buyer or any of their respective officers, directors, principals, employees, agents, counsel or representatives (collectively, including the Buyer in question, the “Buyer Representatives”). No Buyer Representative shall have any liability to any other Buyer or the Company relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions, if any. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of such other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in the Units or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company and each of the Buyers acknowledge that, for reasons of administrative convenience the Company has elected to provide each of the Buyers with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company and the Buyers acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

11.2 Equal Treatment of Buyers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Buyer to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents, unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the other Buyers parties to the Transaction Documents.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

SUBSCRIPTION ESCROW AGREEMENT

This Subscription Escrow Agreement (this “Escrow Agreement”), dated as of the effective date (the “Effective Date”) set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto (“Schedule 1”), by and among the corporation identified on Schedule 1 (the “Issuer”), the corporation identified on Schedule 1 (the “Depositor”) and Delaware Trust Company, as escrow agent hereunder (the “Escrow Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Issuer will offer to certain accredited investors, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, as may be subsequently amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), the subscription and sale of a minimum of $7 million of Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), and one investor warrant to purchase up to one share of Common Stock, at a price per Unit as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Units”); and

WHEREAS, the Depositor has been named as the placement agent in connection with the proposed offering of the Units.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment. The Issuer and Depositor hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. Escrow Fund. The Issuer and Depositor shall instruct the subscribers under the Purchase Agreement to deliver to the Escrow Agent checks made payable to the order of “Delaware Trust Company, as Escrow Agent for Resonant Inc.” or wire transfers to Delaware Trust Company, Name of Bank: PNC Bank; Bank Address: 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000; ABA# 000000000; Account Name: Delaware Trust Company; Account Number: [·]; OBI: FFC: Resonant Inc. Subscription Escrow: [·] for credit to Delaware Trust Company as Escrow Agent for Resonant Inc., Account No. [·], in each case, with the name, address and tax identification number (“TIN”) of the individual or entity making payment (such payments, the “Escrow Deposit”). The Escrow Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, hold the Escrow Deposit and any proceeds thereof (the “Escrow Fund”) as directed in Section 3.

3. Investment of Escrow Fund. During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund shall be held in a non-interest bearing account by the Escrow Agent as indicated on Schedule 1 or such other non-interest bearing investments as shall be directed in writing jointly by the Issuer and the Depositor and as shall be acceptable to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may earn compensation in the form of short-term interest (“float”) on items like uncashed distribution checks (from the date issued until the date cashed), funds that it is directed not to invest, deposits awaiting investment direction or received too late to be invested overnight in previously directed investments.

4. Disposition and Termination. The Depositor and the Issuer agree to jointly notify the Escrow Agent in writing of the closing date of the offering (the “Offering Closing Date”) and whether or not the Issuer received subscriptions that will result in the Issuer receiving gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000 (the “Minimum Subscription Amount”). Upon receipt of such written notification the following procedure will take place.

Exhibit C-1

(i) If the Escrow Agent receives into the Escrow Fund subscriptions for the Minimum Subscription Amount on or before September 30, 2017, which date may be extended upon the joint written instructions of the Issuer and Depositor (such date, as it may be extended, “Outside Date”), the Escrow Fund will be promptly paid to or credited to the accounts of, or otherwise transferred to, the Issuer and the Depositor pursuant to the joint instructions from the Issuer and the Depositor.

(ii) If (a) the Issuer does not receive into the Escrow Fund subscriptions for the Minimum Subscription Amount by the Outside Date, (b) any subscription is not accepted by the Issuer or (c) the offering is abandoned or terminated, the Issuer and Depositor shall notify the Escrow Agent pursuant to a joint written instruction. Escrow Agent shall also be provided by Depositor with suitable notice and, to the extent not previously provided pursuant to Section 2 above, a list containing the amount received from each subscriber whose funds have been deposited with the Escrow Agent (with respect to each subscriber the “Subscriber Investment Amount”) and the name, address and TIN of each subscriber. The aggregate of all Subscriber Investment Amounts shall not exceed the amount of the Escrow Fund on the Offering Closing Date or date of termination or abandonment thereof. The Escrow Agent shall distribute to each subscriber the appropriate Subscriber Investment Amount without interest or deduction within 10 days of receipt of the information described in this Section 4(ii).

(iii) If any date that is a deadline under this Escrow Agreement is not a Business Day, then such date shall be the Business Day that immediately follows that date. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which the Escrow Agent located at the notice address set forth on Schedule 1 is authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

Upon delivery of the Escrow Fund to the Issuer or the subscribers as the case may be, by the Escrow Agent, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8.

5. Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Issuer and Depositor. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to the Issuer or Depositor. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys (and shall be liable only for the careful selection of any such agent or attorney) and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to (i) refrain from taking any action other than keeping safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by the Issuer and the Depositor or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) deliver the Escrow Fund to a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Exhibit C-2

6. Succession and Termination.

(a) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving 30 days’ advance notice in writing of such resignation to the other parties hereto specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon providing such notice, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder except to hold as depository the Escrow Fund until the end of such 30-day period. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, other than receiving and depositing subscribers’ checks and wire transfers in accordance with this Escrow Agreement, until the Issuer has designated a banking corporation, trust company, attorney or other person as successor escrow agent. Upon receipt of such written designation signed by the Depositor and the Issuer, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Escrow Fund to such successor and shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder. If such instructions are not received within 30 days following the effective date of such resignation, then the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Fund held by it pursuant to this Escrow Agreement with a clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction pending the appointment of a successor. In either case provided for in this section, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all liability thereafter arising with respect to the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold an amount equal to any amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

(b) The Issuer and the Depositor may terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder upon written notice specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect, which date shall be at least 30 days from the date of such notice. In the event of such termination, the Issuer and the Depositor shall, within thirty (30) days of such notice, appoint a successor escrow agent and the Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of written instructions signed by the Issuer and the Depositor, turn over to such successor escrow agent all of the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that if the Issuer and the Depositor fail to appoint a successor escrow agent within such 30-day period, such termination notice shall be null and void and the Escrow Agent shall continue to be bound by all of the provisions hereof. Upon receipt of the Escrow Fund, the successor escrow agent shall become the escrow agent hereunder and shall be bound by all of the provisions hereof and Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all liability thereafter arising with respect to the Escrow Fund and under this Escrow Agreement.

7. Fees. The Issuer agrees to pay the Escrow Agent upon execution of this Escrow Agreement and from time to time thereafter reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, which unless otherwise agreed in writing shall be as described in Schedule 1 attached hereto. Provided the Minimum Subscription Amount is received and an Offering Closing Date is established, upon such closing the Escrow Agent is authorized to deduct such fees from the Escrow Fund without upon prior written notice to the Issuer and Depositor.

8. Indemnity. The Issuer and the Depositor shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and save harmless the Escrow Agent and its directors, officers, agents and employees (the “indemnitees”) from all loss, liability or expense (including the fees and expenses of in house or outside counsel) arising out of or in connection with (i) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Escrow Agreement, except in the case of any indemnitee to the extent that such loss, liability or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent, or (ii) its following any instructions or other directions from the Issuer or the Depositor, except to the extent that its following any such instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

Exhibit C-3

9. TINs. The Issuer and the Depositor each represent that its correct TIN assigned by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority is set forth in Schedule 1. All interest or other income earned under the Escrow Agreement, if any, shall be allocated to the Issuer and reported, to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS or any other taxing authority, as applicable, on IRS form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow Fund by the Issuer whether or not said income has been distributed during the year. Unless otherwise indicated in writing by the parties hereto, no taxes or other withholdings are required to be made under applicable law or otherwise with respect to any payment to be made by Escrow Agent. All documentation necessary to support a claim of exemption or reduction in such taxes or other withholdings has been timely collected by Issuer and copies will be provided to Escrow Agent promptly upon a request therefor. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Escrow Agent, all tax returns required to be filed with the IRS and any other taxing authority as required by law with respect to payments made hereunder shall be timely filed and prepared by Issuer, including but not limited to, any applicable reporting or withholding pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Reporting Act (“FATCA”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the preparation and/or filing of any tax return or any applicable FATCA reporting with respect to the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate, including but not limited to required withholding in the absence of proper tax documentation, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities as it determines may be required by any law or regulation in effect at the time of the distribution.

10. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given and received:

(i) upon delivery if delivered personally or upon confirmed transmittal if by facsimile or by other electronic means;

(ii) on the next Business Day if sent by overnight courier; or

(iii) four (4) Business Days after mailing if mailed by prepaid registered mail, return receipt requested, to the appropriate notice address set forth on Schedule 1 or at such other address as any party hereto may have furnished to the other parties in writing by registered mail, return receipt requested.

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of communications delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10, such communications shall be deemed to have been given on the date received by the Escrow Agent. In the event that the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine that an emergency exists, the Escrow Agent may use such other means of communication as the Escrow Agent deems appropriate.

11. Security Procedures. In the event Escrow Fund transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on schedule 2 hereto (“Schedule 2”), and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing by Issuer and Depositor actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Issuer or the Depositor to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

Exhibit C-4

12. Miscellaneous. The provisions of this Escrow Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto. Neither this Escrow Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by any party, except as provided in Section 6, without the prior consent of the other parties. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Delaware. The parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Escrow Agreement. No party to this Escrow Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Escrow Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, floods, strikes, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control. This Escrow Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other person has any right, benefit, priority or interest under or because of the existence of this Escrow Agreement. This Escrow Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
