Dear Xxx:
This engagement letter (the “Agreement”) confirms the terms upon which Golden Pacific Capital, LLC (“GPC”) and Golden Pacific Homes, LLC, (the “Fund”) and collectively with GPC, the “Client”) engages Boustead Securities, LLC (“BSL” or the “Placement Agent”). BSL is engaged to act as the exclusive Placement Agent to the Fund in connection with an Offering (as defined below) of securities on behalf of the Fund (the “Potential Transaction”).
Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

The Client acknowledges and agrees that BSL's obligations hereunder are on a best efforts basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by BSL to purchase any Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of any Securities or any portion thereof or the success of BSL with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the Client. BSL will act solely as a broker with respect to any Potential Transaction or Offering. BSL will not act as an underwriter in any Potential Transaction or Offering.
(2)

In connection with the Offering, Placement Agent will:
(i)
familiarize itself to the extent it deems appropriate with the business, operations, financial condition and prospects of the Client and the industry;
1
(ii)
review to its satisfaction the offering documents (the “Offering Materials”) in connection with the offering of the Securities
2
(b)
If Placement Agent is satisfied with the results of its due diligence of Client, Placement Agent will then:
(i)
identify possible investors, which might have an interest in receiving the Offering Materials and evaluating participation in the Offering;
(ii)
contact one or more possible investors in the Securities (the “Potential Investors”) and distribute the Offering Materials to those requesting receipt of the same;
(iii)
attend meetings with Client and Potential Investors;
(iv)
assist the Client in responding to due diligence requests from Potential Investors; and
(v)
assist the Client in closing on the sale of Securities to those Potential Investors accepted by Client in the Offering.
(c)
In connection with the services provided in Paragraph 2(b), Placement Agent will post the Offering Materials, and such other documents as mutually agreed upon by the parties, to an online platform provided and maintained by ASMX, LLC (the “Platform Operator”), which may be accessed by the eligible investing public and/or other broker-dealers that have become referring broker-dealers pursuant to a signed selling agreement entered into with the Placement Agent. The referring broker-dealers will identify and facilitate referrals of Potential Investors and provide information regarding the Client and the Offering to such Potential Investors.
(3)
Compensation.
For the services rendered and to be rendered hereunder by Placement Agent, the Client agrees to compensate Placement Agent as follows (the “Compensation”):
(a)
Placement Fee. The “Placement Fee” shall be equal to 8.25% (if the Minimum Offering amount is met) or 8.95% (if the Maximum Offering amount is met) of the total dollar amount of equity capital raised pursuant to the Potential Transaction, except that with respect to any equity capital raised pursuant to the Potential Transaction from any investor with whom the Client has an existing relationship or the Client brings to the investment (a “Client Introduced Investor”), the Placement Fee shall be equal to four percent (4%) of the total dollar amount of such equity capital. The Client shall provide a list of Client Introduced Investors, initially attached as Schedule A, with such Schedule A being updated from time to time in writing by the Parties. The Placement Fee shall be paid to Placement Agent by Client contemporaneously with each closing of the Offering directly from the escrow account established for such Offering. For purposes of this Agreement, “equity capital raised” means the gross proceeds received and accepted by the Client in connection with the Offering. 0.5% of the Placement Fee shall be paid by the Placement Agent to cover clearing fees associated with the Offering conducted by the Client.

(b)
The Client shall deliver a warrant to the Placement Agent to purchase shares of the Client’s Units equal to __5__% of the number of Units underlying the Securities issued in the Offering, excluding any warrants issued to Investors in the Offering. Such warrants will be issued at each closing, and shall provide, among other things, that the warrants shall, (i) be exercisable at an exercise price equal to the initial price of the Securities (or the exercise price of the Securities) issued to the Investors in the Offering, (ii) expire five (5) years from the date of issuance, (iii) contain standard anti-dilution protection and such other anti-dilution protection provided to the Investors to the extent they exist, (iv) contain provisions for cashless exercise and (v) include other terms as are normal and customary for warrants of this type.

(4)
Expenses.
The Client will reimburse the Placement Agent in a timely manner for all reasonable expenses relating to the Offering, including, but not limited to, printing, road show, travel, virtual data room, legal fees incurred through the underwriting, filing FINRA documents (e.g. 5110 forms, etc.), and SEC forms to be filed for the Client by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering; provided, however, that the Placement Agent will provide prior notification to the Client and receive Client’s approval in advance for any single expense exceeding $1,000.

(b)
Client also agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, of every kind,

For purpose of this paragraph, an Indemnified Party shall include the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons of such Indemnified Party. The foregoing indemnification shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise.
