Upon request by the Managing Broker Dealer at any time, the Introducing RIA hereby agrees to (i) furnish a copy of its AML Program and OFAC Program to the Managing Broker Dealer for review and (ii) furnish a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with the Introducing RIA’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program and/or its OFAC Program.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Introducing RIA shall not be required to provide to the Managing Broker Dealer any documentation that, in the Introducing RIA’s reasonable judgment, would cause the Introducing RIA to lose the benefit of attorney-client privilege or other privilege which it may be entitled to assert relating to the discoverability of documents in any civil or criminal proceedings. The Introducing RIA hereby represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML rules and all OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act. The Introducing RIA hereby agrees, upon request by the Managing Broker Dealer to (i) provide an annual certification to the Managing Broker Dealer that, as of the date of such certification (A) its AML Program and its OFAC Program are consistent with the AML Rules and OFAC requirements, (B) it has continued to implement its AML Program and its OFAC Program and (C) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules and OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and (ii) perform and carry out, on behalf of both the Managing Broker Dealer and the Issuer, the Customer Identification Program requirements in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and applicable SEC and Treasury Department Rules thereunder.

In the event the Introducing RIA (or its agent performing due diligence) requests access to additional information or otherwise wishes to conduct additional due diligence regarding the Offering, the Issuer will reasonably cooperate with the Introducing RIA to accommodate such request. All Due Diligence Information received by the Introducing RIA in connection with its due diligence review of the Offering is confidential and shall be maintained as confidential and not disclosed by the Introducing RIA, except to the extent such information is disclosed in the Offering Circular.

2.20 Electronic Delivery of Information; Electronic Processing of Subscriptions.

2.20.1 Pursuant to the Managing Broker Dealer Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to confirm all orders for the purchase of Securities accepted by the Issuer. In addition, the Issuer, the Managing Broker Dealer and/or third parties engaged by the Issuer or the Managing Broker Dealer may, from time to time, provide to the Introducing RIA copies of investor letters, annual reports and other communications provided to the Issuer investors.

In such case it shall be the responsibility of the custodian to distribute the information to the beneficial owners of Securities.

2.20.3 The Introducing RIA agrees and acknowledges that the Managing Broker Dealer may, as a preference but not as a requirement, use an electronic platform to process subscriptions, including but not limited to the Depository Trust Company (DTC) model.

8.1.5 Any fault in electronic signatures and/or stamped signatures in any form which have been used, obtained or relied upon by the Introducing RIA with respect to this Agreement or any Subscription Agreement.

8.2 If any action is brought against any of the Issuer Parties in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Issuer Party shall promptly notify the Introducing RIA in writing of the institution of such action, and the Introducing RIA shall assume the defense of such action. The Issuer Parties shall have the right to employ counsel in any such case. The reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Introducing RIA’s expense, provided that the Introducing RIA will not be obligated to pay for legal fees and expenses for more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions.

8.3 The Introducing RIA agrees to promptly notify the Issuer of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Introducing RIA or any of the Introducing RIA’s managers, members, officers, directors, partners, employees, affiliates, attorneys, accountants, or agents in connection with the Offering of the Securities or in connection with the Offering Circular.

8.4 The indemnity provided to the Issuer Parties pursuant to this Section 8 shall not apply to the extent that any Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact made by the Issuer Parties or any of its agents (other than the Introducing RIA), or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be disclosed by the Issuer or any of its agents (other than the Introducing RIA).

9. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided pursuant to Sections 8 and 9 is for any reason held to be unavailable from the Issuer or the Introducing RIA, the parties shall contribute to the aggregate Loss, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including any amount paid in settlement of any action, suit, or proceeding or any claims asserted) in such amounts as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine (or in the case of settlement, in such amounts as may be agreed upon by the parties) in such proportion to reflect the relative fault of the each party in connection with the events described in Sections 8 and 9, which resulted in such Loss, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any 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 Issuer or the Introducing RIA and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such omission or statement.

10. Suspension, Termination, and Survival. The Introducing RIA will suspend or terminate the Offering upon request of the Issuer or the Managing Broker Dealer at any time and will resume the Offering upon the subsequent request of the Issuer or the Managing Broker Dealer. This Agreement may be terminated by the Managing Broker Dealer at any time upon written notice to the Introducing RIA. Except as the context otherwise requires, all representations, warranties, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties, and agreements at and as of the Offering Termination Date. Furthermore, the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Sections 7, 8, and 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by the Managing Broker Dealer, the Issuer, and/or any controlling person, and shall survive the sale of, and payment for, the Securities.

11. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to conflict of law provisions and any dispute between the parties concerning this Agreement shall come within the jurisdiction of the courts of Illinois.

12. Severability. If any portion of this Agreement shall be held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be considered valid and operative and effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and together which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
