NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, each Party hereby agrees as follows:
1. Use of Dalmore as broker of record. Crush will recommend, and in order to appear on the Series, each Issuer must have engaged Dalmore as the broker of record for the Issuer’s securities offering(s) that will be featured in the Series conducted pursuant to SEC Regulation A (an “Offering”), pursuant to a Broker of Record Agreement in the form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (“BD Agreement”) as it may be revised by Dalmore. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dalmore may, after conducting its own due diligence of the Issuer and its Offering, decline to serve as broker of record with respect to any Offering in the event that Dalmore determines, in its sole discretion, after a review of the Issuer and the terms of the Offering, not to serve in such role in connection with that Offering.
2. Crush BD. The Parties acknowledge that a Crush subsidiary may subsequently register as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act (the “Crush BD”) and that the Crush BD may also provide broker-dealer services to the Issuers in connection with an Offering on such terms and as may be agreed upon by the Crush BD and the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dalmore will continue to serve as one of the broker(s) of record for all Offerings featured in the Series.
3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and terminate in accordance with Section 8 hereof. Any extension of the term will be subject to mutual written agreement between the Parties.

5. FINRA Advertising Regulation Review. The Parties acknowledge that the Issuer Content constitutes “retail communication” under FINRA Rule 2210 (“Rule 2210”). Dalmore (except as may otherwise be agreed to by Dalmore and the Crush BD, if any) will have responsibility for its compliance with Rule 2210 with respect to the Issuer Content and may, in its sole discretion, submit any or all Issuer Content to FINRA’s Advertising Regulation Department (“Advertising Regulation”) prior to its publication in the Series. Crush will cooperate with Dalmore in making such changes to Issuer Content as Dalmore deems necessary to ensure that Dalmore can determine that such Issuer Content is compliant with the comments received from Advertising Regulation.

Furthermore, each Party shall notify the other Party if it is approached by any such other Party employee with respect to employment. It is understood and agreed that in the event that a Party does solicit and hire an employee of the other Party, the hiring Party’s liability for such breach shall be a payment to the other Party of an amount equal to the hired person’s compensation at non-hiring Party paid to such person in the one-year period immediately preceding such hire.
8. Termination. This Agreement shall take effect immediately and shall continue for an initial term of three (3) years. Thereafter, the Agreement will renew every year unless terminated by the parties in writing. If either Party materially breaches or defaults upon any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement immediately if the breaching Party fails to cure the breach or default within thirty (30) days after having received written notice by the non-breaching Party of the breach or default.
