A.          NCPS is a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).

B.           Issuer Party is engaging NCPS to serve as the facilitator of escrow as set forth herein through the institution in Section 1(d) below as escrow agent in connection with Issuer’s sale of debt, equity or hybrid securities (“Securities”) in an offering exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, 506(c) of Regulation D, Regulation A or Regulation Crowdfunding, as indicated on the signature page hereto (“Offering”).

C.           In accordance with the private placement memorandum, offering memorandum, Form 1-A or Form C applicable to the Offering provided by Issuer Party for dissemination to investors in connection with the Offering (“Offering Document”), subscribers to the Securities (“Subscribers”) will be required to submit full payment for their respective investments at the time they enter into subscription agreements.

D.           In accordance with the Offering Document, all payments by Subscribers subscribing for Securities shall be sent directly to NCPS as the facilitator of escrow as set forth herein through the institution in Section 1(d) below as escrow agent, and NCPS by this Agreement agrees to accept, hold and promptly disburse or transmit such funds deposited with it with respect thereto (“Escrow Funds”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in compliance with Rule 15c2-4 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and in the case of an Offering pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding, Regulation Crowdfunding Rule 303(e), as applicable, and related SEC guidance and FINRA rules.

E.           If the Offering is being made by Issuer on an “all-or-none” basis or on any other basis that contemplates payments to be made to Issuer only upon the occurrence of some further event or contingency as set forth in Exhibit A, as applicable, NCPS will promptly deposit any and all Escrow Funds NCPS receives into a separate bank escrow account as set forth in Section 1(d) below, for the persons or entities with a beneficial interest therein, until the appropriate event or contingency has occurred, at which time the Escrow Funds will be promptly transmitted to Issuer, else promptly returned to the persons or entities entitled thereto pursuant to Section 3 and 4 below.

NCPS accepts no other role and assumes no other responsibilities related to the Offering, such as managing broker-dealer, placement agent, selling group member or referring broker-dealer, unless and until the roles and responsibilities are expressly delineated in a separately executed placement, managing broker, selling or referral agreement, as the case may be, if any.

NCPS is not responsible for errors in the completion, accuracy or timeliness of any transfer properly initiated by NCPS in accordance with joint written instructions occasioned by the acts or omissions of any third party financial institution or a party to the transaction, or the insufficiency or lack of availability of funds on deposit in any account.

ISSUER PARTY SHALL INFORM ACH SUBSCRIBERS OF THE TIMING OF RETURNS AS PART OF ISSUER PARTY’S SUBSCRIPTION PROCESS.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if NCPS shall not have received an Instruction Letter on or before the Expiration Date or the Termination Date (as defined below), subject to Section 5, NCPS shall, within three Business Days after such Expiration Date or Termination Date and receipt from Subscriber of any required payment instructions, and without any further instruction or direction from Issuer Party, pay to each Subscriber by the same method the amount of the Cash Investment received by NCPS from such Subscriber or promptly return to Subscriber such Subscriber’s Cash Investment Instrument; provided that amounts in excess of $25,000 will be returned via wire transfer upon confirmation by NCPS of Subscriber’s account information.

(d)          Issuer Party shall, or cause Subscriber to, provide NCPS with information sufficient to effect such payment or return to Subscriber as outlined in this Section 4, including, without limitation, updated payment information in the event a payment or return to Subscriber for any reason cannot be made by the same method as received by NCPS.

5.           Suspension of Performance or Disbursement Into Court. If, at any time, (a) there shall exist any dispute between Issuer Party, NCPS, any Subscriber or any other person with respect to the holding or disposition of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds or any other obligations of NCPS hereunder, or (b) NCPS is unable to determine, to NCPS’s reasonable satisfaction, the proper disposition of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds or NCPS’s proper actions with respect to its obligations hereunder, or (c) Issuer Party has not within 30 days of NCPS’s notice of resignation pursuant to Section 7 appointed a successor provider of escrow services or agent to act hereunder, then NCPS may, in its reasonable discretion, take either or both of the following actions: (i) suspend the performance of any of its obligations (including, without limitation, any disbursement obligations) under this Agreement until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole satisfaction of NCPS or until a successor provider of escrow services or agent shall have been appointed (as the case may be); or (ii) petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction in any venue convenient to NCPS, for instructions with respect to such dispute or uncertainty, and to the extent required or permitted by Law, pay into such court all funds held by it in the Escrow Funds for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court. NCPS shall have no liability to Issuer Party, any Subscriber or any other person with respect to any such suspension of performance or disbursement into court, specifically including any liability or claimed liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of any delay in the disbursement of the Escrow Funds or any delay in or with respect to any other action required or requested of NCPS.

6.            No Commingling, Investment of Funds or Interest to Issuer Party. NCPS shall not: (a) commingle Escrow Funds received by it in escrow with funds of others that are not Escrow Funds, including funds received by NCPS in escrow in connection with any other offering of debt, equity or hybrid securities; or (b) invest such Escrow Funds. The Escrow Funds will be held in the Escrow Account, which shall not accrue interest in favor of Issuer Party or any Subscriber.

7.            Resignation of NCPS. NCPS may resign and be discharged from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice to Issuer Party specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation, or upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 17, Issuer Party shall appoint a successor provider of escrow services or agent hereunder prior to the effective date of such resignation or termination. NCPS shall transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Funds and shall pay all Escrow Funds to the successor provider of escrow services or agent, after making copies of such records as NCPS deems advisable. After NCPS’s resignation or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable, and the fulfillment of NCPS’s obligations with respect thereto, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the facilitator of escrow under this Agreement.

8.            Role of NCPS as Facilitator of Escrow.

(a)          NCPS’s sole responsibility as a participant in the Offering under this Agreement is as the facilitator of escrow as set forth herein through the institution in Section 1(d) as escrow agent to facilitate the safekeeping with, and disbursement by, the escrow agent of the Escrow Funds, in accordance with the terms hereto. NCPS shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein. NCPS may rely upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which NCPS shall believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same. NCPS 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 by final unappealed or non-appealable order pursuant to Section 20(a) that NCPS’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence was the primary cause of any Losses (as defined below) to Issuer Party (“Ineligible Losses”).

(b)          NCPS shall not be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrow Funds, any account in which Escrow Funds are deposited, this Agreement or the Offering Document, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding.

(c)          NCPS shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Offering Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, NCPS shall not be responsible for or required to enforce any of the terms or conditions of any subscription agreement with any Subscriber or any other agreement between Issuer Party or any Subscriber. NCPS shall not be responsible or liable in any manner for the performance by Issuer or any Subscriber of their respective obligations under any subscription agreement nor shall NCPS be responsible or liable in any manner for the failure of Issuer Party or any third party (including any Subscriber) to honor any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)          NCPS is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Funds, without determination by NCPS of such court’s jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of the Escrow Funds is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, NCPS is authorized, in its reasonable discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if NCPS complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent legally permissible, NCPS shall provide Issuer Party with prompt notice of any such court order or similar demand and the opportunity to interpose an objection or obtain a protective order.

(e)          NCPS may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving any party hereto, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully indemnified from any liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with the opinion or instruction of such counsel. Issuer Party shall promptly pay, upon demand, the fees and expenses of any such counsel.

(f)           By this Agreement, Subscribers are not customers of NCPS and NCPS shall have no obligation to determine a Subscriber’s suitability to participate in the Offering, whether the Offering complies with Law, verify a Subscriber’s identity or perform anti-money laundering, know your customer or other due diligence, such responsibilities being obligations of Issuer Party or Issuer Party’s agents. Notwithstanding, NCPS may ask Issuer Party to provide, and Issuer Party shall provide promptly upon NCPS’s request, certain information about Subscribers, including, but not limited to, name, physical address, tax identification number, organizational documents, certificates of good standing, financial statements, licenses to do business and other information that will help NCPS to identify and verify a Subscriber’s identity. Any further participation by NCPS in the Offering (if any) other than to facilitate escrow as set forth in this Agreement shall be governed by separate agreement.

(g)          NCPS makes no representation, warranty or covenant as to the compliance of any transaction related to the escrow with any Law. NCPS shall not be responsible for the application or use of any funds released from the Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement.

9.            Indemnification of NCPS.

(a)          Issuer Party (including Issuer Party’s affiliates, collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees (and agrees to cause the other Indemnifying Parties) jointly and severally and at their own cost and expense to release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless NCPS and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, advisors and consultants, and their respective successors and assigns (each, an “NCPS Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by Law, from and against (and no NCPS Party shall be liable for) any Losses, joint or several, in connection with all actions (including equity owner actions), claims, disputes, inquiries, indemnification, proceedings, investigations and other legal process regardless of the source (including NCPS Parties) (collectively, “Actions”) arising out of or relating to the offering of securities, this Agreement, the provision of NCPS’s services hereunder or the engagement of NCPS hereunder (including, without limitation, any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or any representation, warranty or covenant herein, any breach or alleged breach of Law or any rejection of a Cash Investment, or the suspension of performance or disbursement into court pursuant to Section 5), and will reimburse NCPS Parties for all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) as they are incurred by NCPS Parties in connection with investigating, preparing, defending or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such Action whether or not related to a pending or threatened Action in which NCPS is a party. Notwithstanding, Issuer Party will not be responsible for any Ineligible Losses, and NCPS agrees to immediately refund any indemnification payments made to an NCPS Party upon such determination. “Losses” means any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses of whatever kind, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, the costs of enforcing any right hereunder, the costs of pursuing any insurance providers, the costs of collection and the costs of defending against or appearing as a witness, whether direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise. Indemnifying Parties shall pay to NCPS Parties all amounts due under this Section 9 promptly after written demand therefor.

(b)          Promptly after the receipt by any NCPS Party of notice of the commencement of any Action, NCPS shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against the Indemnifying Party, give the Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such Action. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. With respect to any Action in which a NCPS Party may be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party may by written notice to NCPS request to assume the defense of any such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the NCPS Party. If NCPS agrees to the assumption by the Indemnifying Party of the defense of any such Action, the NCPS Party shall have the right to participate in such Action and to retain its own counsel, but the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any fees or expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such NCPS Party in connection with the defense thereof unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the NCPS Party in a timely manner; or (iii) the NCPS Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Indemnifying Party and the NCPS Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the NCPS Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall settle any Action on behalf of a NCPS Party without the prior written consent of such NCPS Party.

(c)          In the event NCPS performs any service not specifically provided hereinabove, or that there is any assignment or attachment of any interest in the subject matter of this escrow or any modification thereof, or that any controversy arises hereunder, or that NCPS is made a party to, or intervenes in, any dispute pertaining to this escrow or the subject matter hereof, NCPS shall be reasonably compensated therefor and reimbursed for all costs and expenses occasioned thereby; and Issuer Party hereto agree jointly and severally to pay the same and to jointly and severally and at their own cost and expense release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the NCPS Parties pursuant to subsection (a) above, it being understood and agreed that NCPS may interplead the subject matter of this escrow into any court of competent jurisdiction, and the act of such interpleader shall immediately relieve NCPS of any duties, liabilities or responsibilities.

(d)          For the sole purpose of enforcing and otherwise giving effect to the provisions of this Section 9, Issuer Party hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and service and venue in any court in which any claim that is subject to this Agreement is brought against any NCPS Party.

(e)          If an Action is commenced or threatened and is ultimately settled, Issuer Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause NCPS and the other NCPS Parties, by name or description, to be included in any release or settlement agreement, whether or not NCPS and the other NCPS Parties are named as defendants in such Action.

10.          Compensation to NCPS.

(a)          Issuer Party shall pay or cause to be paid to NCPS for its services as the facilitator of escrow as outlined in Exhibit B, which may be updated from time to time by NCPS by providing written notice to Issuer Party. Issuer Party’s obligation to pay such fees to NCPS and reimburse NCPS for such expenses is not conditioned upon a successful closing. Upon Issuer Party’s request, NCPS will provide Issuer Party with copies of all relevant invoices, receipts or other evidence of such expenses. The obligations of Issuer Party under this Section 10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of NCPS.

(b)          All of the compensation and reimbursement obligations shall be payable by Issuer Party upon demand by NCPS and will be charged automatically by NCPS to the credit card or other payment method separately provided or as otherwise agreed by the Parties. Issuer Party consents to NCPS retaining and using Issuer Party’s payment information for future invoices and as provided in this Agreement. Issuer Party agrees and acknowledges that NCPS and its third party vendors may retain and use Issuer Party’s payment information to facilitate the payments provided for in this Agreement. Issuer Party agrees to provide NCPS written notice (which may be via email) of any update or changes to Issuer Party’s payment information. Absent current payment information, Issuer Party shall make, or cause to be made, all payments to NCPS within 10 days of receiving an invoice therefor. All payments made to NCPS shall be in US dollars in immediately available funds.

(c)          If Issuer Party fails to make any payment when due then, in addition to all other remedies that may be available: (a) NCPS may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month, calculated daily and compounded monthly, or if lower, the highest rate permitted under Law, which Issuer Party shall pay; such interest may accrue after as well as before any judgment relating to collection of the amount due; and (b) Issuer Party shall reimburse, or cause to be reimbursed, NCPS for all costs incurred by NCPS in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection agency fees; provided that cumulative late payments are subject to the overall limits as may be required by Law as set forth in Exhibit B.

(d)          Only upon the fulfillment of the Minimum Offering, and only when Escrowed Funds are eligible to be released to Issuer in accordance with Section 4(a), and otherwise in compliance with Law, NCPS is authorized to and may disburse from time to time, to itself or to any NCPS Party from the Escrow Funds (but only to the extent of Issuer’s rights thereto), the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which NCPS or any NCPS Party is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof). NCPS shall notify Issuer Party of any disbursement from the Escrow Funds to itself or to any NCPS Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and shall furnish to Issuer copies of all related invoices and other statements.

(e)          Only upon the fulfillment of the Minimum Offering, and only when Escrowed Funds are eligible to be released to Issuer in accordance with Section 4(a), and otherwise in compliance with Law, Issuer shall grant to NCPS and the NCPS Parties a security interest in and lien upon such Escrow Funds (but only to the extent of Issuer’s rights thereto) to secure all obligations hereunder, and NCPS and the NCPS Parties shall have the right to offset the amount of any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof) against the Escrow Funds (but only to the extent of Issuer’s rights thereto). If for any reason the Escrow Funds available to NCPS and the NCPS Parties pursuant to such security interest or right of offset are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Issuer Party shall promptly pay such amounts to NCPS and the NCPS Parties upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

11.          Representations and Warranties.

(a)          Issuer Party jointly and severally represents, warrants and covenants to NCPS as of the Effective Date and at all times during the Term, including, without limitation, at the time of any deposit to or disbursement from the Escrow Funds:

(i)           Issuer Party is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state where it was formed. Issuer Party has all requisite power and authority to own those properties and conduct those businesses presently owned or conducted by it. Issuer Party is duly qualified and properly licensed and registered to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which its ownership of property or the character of its business requires such qualification, licensure or registration, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on Issuer Party or Issuer Party’s business.

(ii)          Manager is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and SIPC. Manager has implemented, and complies with, a written know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance program reasonably designed to comply with the applicable requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and Bank Secrecy Act and the implementing regulations promulgated thereunder, including policies that could be reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions (“Requirements”). Manager maintains in its files documentation supporting these representations and warranties as required by the Requirements, and shall make such information available to NCPS upon reasonable request.

(iii)         Issuer Party has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed by Issuer Party and constitutes the legal, valid, binding, and enforceable obligation of Issuer Party, enforceable against Issuer Party in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and will not: (A) conflict with or violate any of the terms of any organizational or governance document, stakeholder agreement, any court order or administrative ruling or decree to which it is a party or any of its property is subject, any agreement, contract, indenture, or other binding arrangement to which it is a party or any of its property is subject or any Law; or (B) conflict with, or result in a breach or termination of any of the terms of, or result in the acceleration of any indebtedness or obligations under, any agreement, obligation or instrument by which Issuer Party is bound or to which any property of Issuer Party is subject, or constitute a default thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is consistent with and accurately described in the Offering Document as set forth in Section 4(b) and Section 4(c) and has been properly described therein.

(iv)         Issuer Party acknowledges that the status of NCPS is that of agent only for the limited purposes set forth herein to facilitate escrow as set forth herein through the institution in Section 1(d) as escrow agent, and if required by an Offering pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding, NCPS will be the “qualified third party”, as defined in Regulation Crowdfunding Rule 303(e)(2), and hereby represents and covenants that no representation or implication shall be made that NCPS has investigated the desirability or advisability of investment in the Securities or has approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of the investment therein and that the name of NCPS has not and shall not be used in any manner in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities other than to state that NCPS has agreed to serve as the facilitator of escrow for the limited purposes set forth herein. Issuer Party shall comply with all Law in connection with the offering of the Securities. By this Agreement, NCPS accepts no other role and assumes no other responsibilities related to the Offering, including, without limitation, managing broker-dealer, placement agent, selling group member or referring broker-dealer.

(v)          Issuer Party has the obligation to, and shall, determine a Subscriber’s suitability to participate in the Offering, make sure the Offering complies with Law and the Offering Document, verify a Subscriber’s identity and perform anti-money laundering, know your customer and any other due diligence in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Offering. The Offering and any offer or sale in the Offering complies with or is exempt from all applicable registrations or qualification requirements, including, without limitation, those of the SEC or state securities regulatory authorities.

(vi)         No person or entity other than the Parties and the prospective Subscribers have, or shall have, any lien, claim or security interest in the Escrow Funds or any part thereof. No financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code is on file in any jurisdiction claiming a security interest in or describing (whether specifically or generally) the Escrow Funds or any part thereof.

(vii)        Any deposit with NCPS by Subscriber and/or Issuer Party of Cash Investment Instruments pursuant to Section 3 shall be deemed a representation and warranty by Issuer Party that such Cash Investment Instrument represents a bona fide sale to such Subscriber of the amount of Securities set forth therein in accordance with the terms of the Offering Document.

(viii)       In the event Issuer is a Series LLC and/or a series of a Series LLC, Issuer Party shall allocate and/or cause to be allocated any disbursement of Escrow Funds under this Agreement to the appropriate series, and perform any reporting and sub-accounting, all as required by and in compliance with Law and the Offering Document.

(ix)         To the extent Issuer Party will be sharing personal or financial information of a third party with NCPS in connection with this Agreement, Issuer Party shall maintain and obtain the agreement of each such third party, which shall permit the sharing of such third party’s information with NCPS and its affiliates and service providers for NCPS and its affiliates and service providers to use, disclose and retain it in connection with this Agreement and the provision of the services hereunder and as required by Law. NCPS shall be a third party beneficiary to such agreement.

(x)          Issuer Party’s representations, warranties and covenants are continuing and deemed to be reaffirmed each time Issuer Party provides NCPS with any instructions in connection with the Escrow Account. Issuer Party shall immediately notify NCPS if any representation, warranty or covenant ceases to be true, correct, accurate and complete.

(i)           NCPS is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. NCPS is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and SIPC.

(ii)          NCPS has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed by NCPS and constitutes the legal, valid, binding, and enforceable obligation of NCPS, enforceable against NCPS in accordance with its terms. NCPS shall comply with Law in all material respects in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(iii)         NCPS’s representations, warranties and covenants are continuing and deemed to be reaffirmed each time Issuer Party provides NCPS with any instructions in connection with the Escrow Account.

12.          Disclaimer of Advice. Issuer Party is NCPS’s sole customer pursuant to this Agreement. By this Agreement, NCPS is not undertaking to provide any recommendations or advice to any party, including any Subscriber who may be a retail investor, in connection with any offering of securities, NCPS’s engagement hereunder or its provision of the services contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, business, investment, solicitation, legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice). Issuer Party understands that it will be solely responsible for ensuring that any offering and any sale of securities complies with all Law. Issuer Party acknowledges and agrees that it will rely on its own judgment in using NCPS’s services.

13.          Survival. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of NCPS as the facilitator of escrow, the Parties shall continue to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement that reasonably require some action or forbearance (or are required to implement such action or forbearance) after such expiration or termination, including, but not limited to, those related to fees and expenses, indemnities, limitations of and exclusions to liability, warranties, choice of law, jurisdiction and dispute resolution and such provisions shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall survive any disbursement of Escrow Funds and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Except as the context otherwise requires, all representations, warranties and covenants of a Party contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties and covenants during the Term, and such representations, warranties and covenants shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall survive the sale of, and payment for, the securities and the expiration or termination of this Agreement to the extent required for the enforcement thereof.

14.          Assignment. Except as provided in Section 17, no Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or contract or otherwise, without each other Party’s prior written consent; provided NCPS may assign or otherwise transfer its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer its obligations or performance, under this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 or to an affiliated provider of escrow services or agent without any other Party’s consent. Any purported assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of this Section 14 is void. Subject to this Section 14, this Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns irrespective of any change with regard to the name of or the personnel of any Party.

15.          Entirety. This Agreement incorporates by reference NCPS’s and its affiliates’ data privacy policies and website terms of use, as posted on NCPS’s and its affiliates’ website from time to time, with which Issuer Party shall, and shall cause issuers to, comply. This Agreement (including all exhibits, all schedules and NCPS’s and its affiliates’ data privacy policies and website terms of use) constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the acceptance, collection, holding, investment and disbursement of the Escrow Funds and sets forth in their entirety the obligations and duties of NCPS with respect to the Escrow Funds and supersedes and merges all prior and contemporaneous proposals, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the Parties relating to such subject matter.

No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Notwithstanding, Issuer Party may terminate this Agreement: (i) for cause immediately with notice to NCPS upon: (A) NCPS’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence; (B) any material breach by NCPS of this Agreement if such breach is not cured within 10 days of receipt of written notice thereof (to the extent it can be cured); or (C) upon a Bankruptcy Event of NCPS; or (ii) with 30 days’ prior written notice to NCPS in the event of any increase in the amount of fees or expenses pursuant to Section 10(a) and Exhibit B and such increase is not either applicable to NCPS’s escrow services customers generally or reasonably related to the specific services being provided to Issuer Party. Any Party may terminate this Agreement for any other or no reason with 90 days’ prior written notice to each other Party.

(c)          No termination or expiration of this Agreement shall affect the ongoing obligations of Issuer Party to make payments to NCPS in accordance with the terms hereunder and such obligations shall survive. Issuer Party shall pay or shall cause to be paid all previously-accrued but not yet paid fees on receipt of NCPS’s invoice therefor or as otherwise set forth in Exhibit B, Section 9 or Section 10.

NCPS and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of NCPS may buy, sell and deal in any of the securities of Issuer Party and become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which Issuer Party may be interested, and contract and lend money to Issuer and otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the facilitator of escrow under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude NCPS from acting in any other capacity for Issuer Party or any other entity.

Issuer Party shall pay NCPS the Escrow Administration Fee upon execution of this Agreement. In the event the escrow is not funded, the Fee and all related expenses, including attorneys’ fees, remain due and payable, and once paid, will not be refunded. Annual fees cover a full year in advance, or any part thereof, and thus are not pro-rated in the year of termination.

Issuer Party shall pay all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, payment for or reimbursement of any uncollectible Cash Investment Instruments or chargebacks, reversals or other amounts) immediately upon NCPS’s demand, or at NCPS’s option, NCPS may deduct such fees from any disbursement of Escrow Funds from the Escrow Account as provided in Section 10(d).

The fees quoted in this schedule apply to services ordinarily rendered in the administration of an Escrow Account and are subject to reasonable adjustment based on final review of documents, or when NCPS is called upon to undertake unusual duties or responsibilities, or as changes in law, procedures, or the cost of doing business demand. Services in addition to and not contemplated in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, document amendments and revisions, non-standard cash and/or investment transactions, calculations, notices and reports and legal fees, will be billed as extraordinary expenses and capped at $15,000 (except as provided by Section 9).

Extraordinary fees are payable to NCPS for duties or responsibilities not expected to be incurred at the outset of the transaction, not routine or customary, and not incurred in the ordinary course of business. Payment of extraordinary fees is appropriate where particular inquiries, events or developments are unexpected, even if the possibility of such things could have been identified at the inception of the transaction.

Unless otherwise indicated, the above fees relate to the establishment of one escrow account. Additional sub-accounts governed by the same Escrow Agreement may incur an additional charge. Transaction costs include charges for wire transfers, ACHs, checks, internal transfers and securities transactions.

NCPS may increase the amounts set forth in this Exhibit B by providing written notice to Issuer Party such increase to be effective as of such notice, and the fees will be deemed amended accordingly without further notice or consent; provided that Issuer Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 17.

NCPS may submit any payment information provided to it by an Issuer Party in connection with this Agreement against any fees due from such Issuer Party. Each Issuer Party consents to NCPS retaining and using such payment information for future invoices and as provided in this Agreement. All payments shall be in US dollars in immediately available funds.

**Out-Of-Pocket Expenses include any custom features or additional work that the North Capital team may need to perform. These fees are uncommon and will be disclosed in such cases prior to invoicing.
