Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter confirms and comprises the agreement (this “Agreement”) between Cottonwood Multifamily REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Cottonwood Capital Property Management II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cottonwood Management”) and Orchard Securities, LLC (the “Managing Broker-Dealer”), regarding the offering and sale (the “Offering”) by the Company of up to $50,000,000 in Common Stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to the Cottonwood Multifamily REIT II, Inc. Offering Statement dated [ ], 20[ ] (the “Offering Statement”).

1. Appointment of the Managing Broker-Dealer.

1.1 On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Managing Broker-Dealer is hereby appointed and agrees to sell the Shares on an “all-or-nothing minimum, best-efforts maximum” basis through an offering qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and exempt from registration pursuant to (i) Regulation A (“Regulation A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (ii) applicable state blue sky exemptions. The Managing Broker-Dealer is authorized to enlist other members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) acceptable to the Company (the “Selling Group Members”) to sell the Shares.

1.2 It is understood that no sale of the Shares shall be regarded as effective unless and until accepted by the Company. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept or reject any subscription for the Shares (the “Subscription Agreement”) in whole or in part. For any Subscription Agreement received prior to the date the Offering Statement is qualified by the SEC (the “Qualification Date”), the Company shall have a period of 30 days from the Qualification Date to accept or reject the Subscription Agreement. For any Subscription Agreements received after the Qualification Date, the Company shall have a period of 30 days after receipt of the Subscription Agreement to accept or reject the Subscription Agreement. Any proposed subscription for the Shares not accepted within such 30 day period shall be deemed rejected. The Shares will be offered during a period commencing on the date of the Offering Statement and continuing until the earliest of: (i) the sale of $50,000,000 of Shares, (ii) the day before the one year anniversary of the Qualification Date or (iii) a determination by the board of directors to terminate the Offering (the “Offering Termination Date”). If subscriptions for at least $2,000,000 in Shares (the “Minimum Offering Amount”) have not been received and accepted by the Company by [ ], 20[ ], none of the Shares will be sold and all funds tendered for the purchase of the Shares will be refunded in full to cash subscribers without deductions or charges.

1.3 Subject to the performance by the Company of all the obligations to be performed hereunder, and to the completeness and accuracy of all the representations and warranties

contained herein, the Managing Broker-Dealer hereby accepts such agency and agrees on the terms and conditions herein set forth to use its best efforts during the Offering period to find qualified subscribers (the “Subscribers”) for the Shares.

1.4 The Managing Broker-Dealer further understands and agrees that the compensation to the Managing Broker-Dealer for the sale of the Shares described herein is conditioned upon the sale of the Minimum Offering Amount by the Company by [ ], 20[ ] and that the failure to sell the Minimum Offering Amount by the above dates shall relieve the Company and any other party of any obligation to pay the Managing Broker-Dealer for any services rendered by the Managing Broker-Dealer in connection with the sale of the Shares under this Agreement or otherwise.

1.5 The Shares will be offered at a price of $10.00 per Share. Cottonwood Management will pay all amounts due to the Managing Broker-Dealer pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement and will be obligated to pay all organization and offering expenses of the Company. As a result, no Subscriber will be permitted to acquire Shares at a price that is less than $10.00 per Share.

12.2 If any action is brought against the CMBD Parties in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Company or the Managing Broker-Dealer shall promptly notify the applicable Selling Group Member in writing of the institution of such action, and the Selling Group Member shall assume the defense of such action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Selling Group Member shall not affect the provisions in this Section 12 except to the extent such failure to notify the Selling Group Member has a material and adverse effect on the defense of such claims. The affected CMBD Parties shall have the right to employ counsel in any such case. The reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Selling Group Member’s expense and authorized in writing by such Selling Group Member, provided that such Selling Group Member 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.

13. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided pursuant to Sections 10, 11 and 12 is for any reason held to be unavailable from the Company, the Managing Broker-Dealer or the Selling Group Members, as the case

may be, the Company, the Managing Broker-Dealer and the Selling Group Members 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 Company, the Managing Broker-Dealer and the Selling Group Members and their respective owners, managers, members, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants in connection with the events described in Sections 10, 11 and 12, as the case may be, 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 Company, the Managing Broker-Dealer and the Selling Group Members and their respective owners, managers, members, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such omission or statement.
