Dear Xxxx:
This engagement letter (the “Agreement”) confirms the terms upon which CapRocq Core REIT, Inc. (the “Client”) engages Boustead Securities, LLC (“BSL”, the “Placement Agent”). BSL is engaged to act as the exclusive Placement Agent to the Client in connection with an Offering (as defined below) of securities on behalf of the Client (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:
| (1) | Scope of Engagement. |
Client and Placement Agent previously entered into that certain original engagement letter dated November 18, 2016 (the “Original Agreement”). Client and Placement Agent previously amended, restated and replaced the Original Agreement with a new engagement letter dated January 13, 2017 (the “Second Agreement”). Client and Placement Agent acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall serve to amend, restate and replace in its entirety the Second Agreement.
Client hereby engages Placement Agent as its exclusive agent in a placement of securities (the “Securities”) in one or more related transactions to purchasers pursuant to a Tier 2 offering of Regulation A, as amended (“Regulation A+”), under Title IV of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act (the “Offering”).
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.
| 1 |
| (2) | Offering Process. |
| (a) | 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; |
| (ii) | review to its satisfaction the offering documents (the “Offering Materials”) in connection with the offering of the Securities; |
| (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 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 eight percent (8%) 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 including without limitation any limited partner of CapRocq Core Real Estate Fund, L.P. or CapRocq Core 2 Real Estate Fund, L.P., or any affiliate of the aforementioned, the Placement Fee shall be equal to four percent (4%) of the total dollar amount of such equity capital raised. The Placement Fee shall be payable only with respect to equity capital raised from investors located in states in which Placement Agent is a registered broker-dealer at the time of the sale of Securities to such investors. The Placement Fee shall be paid to Placement Agent by Client contemporaneously with the 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. |
| 2 |
| (b) | Information. Client shall provide Placement Agent with such data and information (in reasonable detail) from time to time as Placement Agent may reasonably request to calculate and verify payments made and required to be made under Paragraph (3)(a). |
| (4) | Expenses. |
The Client will provide the Placement Agent on each Closing Date with a non-accountable expense allowance of one percent (1.0%). This shall be for reimbursement of 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 of any single expense exceeding $1,000. Such expenses shall not exceed, on an aggregate basis, one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate dollar amount of the Shares sold in the Offering as permitted by FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(B). The parties agree to engage in discussion of all such reasonable expenses from time to time before such expenses are incurred. No reimbursement of expenses shall occur prior to the commencement of the public sale of the securities being offered in Client’s offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client may provide Placement Agent with a reasonable advance against Placement Agent’s out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by the Placement Agent and related persons. An advance of this nature will be returned to the Client to the extent the advance is not used. Any reimbursements for services, which will occur only after the commencement of the public sale of securities being offered in Client’s Offering, shall be made promptly upon submission by the Placement Agent of an appropriate invoice on a 30-day net basis to the Client.
| (5) | Certain Covenants, Representations and Warranties of Client. |
| (a) | In connection with Placement Agent's activities hereunder, Client will cooperate with Placement Agent and provide it reasonable access to the officers, directors, employees and advisers of Client, and furnish to Placement Agent all information and data regarding the business and financial condition of Client that the Placement Agent deems appropriate for purposes of the Offering (the “Information”). |

| (i) | as of each date of offer of the Securities and each date of closing of the Offering, the Offering Materials will be complete and correct in all material respects and, except for those statements for which written supplemental corrections or additions have been made or given to the investors participating in such closing, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and |
| (ii) | any projected financial information or other forward-looking information which the Client provides to Placement Agent will be made by Client in good faith, based on management's best estimates at the time and based on facts and assumptions which management believes are reasonable. A full written discussion by management of the underlying assumptions and risks relating to not achieving such projections will accompany all such projections. |
| (c) | The Client acknowledges and agrees that Placement Agent, in rendering its services hereunder: |
| (i) | will be using and relying on the Information provided by Client (as well as information available from public sources and other sources deemed reliable by Placement Agent) without independent investigation or verification thereof or independent appraisal or evaluation of the Client, or its respective subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective businesses or assets; |
| (ii) | is authorized to transmit to any Potential Investor the Offering Materials and forms of subscription agreements and any other legal documentation supplied to Placement Agent for transmission to any Potential Investor by or on behalf of the Client in connection with the Offering; and |
| (iii) | does not and will not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Offering Materials or any Information or other Information regarding the Client. Placement Agent does, however, reserve the right to investigate and independently verify the Client’s representations and claims. |
Client will be solely responsible for the contents of the Offering Materials (as amended and supplemented and including any information incorporated therein by reference).
| (d) | If at any time prior to the completion of the offer and sale of the Securities an event occurs or circumstance exists and the Offering Materials (as then amended and supplemented) includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Client will promptly notify Placement Agent of such event and Placement Agent will suspend solicitations of prospective purchasers of the Securities until such time as Client shall prepare (and Client agrees that, if it shall have notified Placement Agent to suspend solicitations after Client has accepted orders from prospective purchasers, it will promptly prepare) a supplement or amendment to the Offering Materials which corrects such statement(s) or omission(s). |
| 4 |
| (e) | The Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) any advice rendered or material provided by Placement Agent during the term of this Agreement or during the Offering process was and is intended solely for the benefit and confidential use of the Client and will not be reproduced, summarized, described or referred to or given to any other person or entity for any purpose without Placement Agent's prior written consent; (ii) Placement Agent will act as an independent contractor and is being retained solely to assist Client in its efforts to effect the Offering; (iii) Placement Agent is not and will not be construed as a fiduciary of the Client and will have no duties or liabilities to the equity holders or creditors of the Client or to any other person or entity by virtue of this Agreement, and the retention of Placement Agent hereunder, all of which duties and liabilities are hereby expressly waived; (iv) Placement Agent does not provide legal, accounting and/or tax advice and Client agrees to retain its own counsel concerning any necessary legal, accounting and tax matters; and (v) nothing contained herein shall be construed to obligate Placement Agent to purchase, as principal, any of the Securities offered in the Offering. |
| (f) | The Client represents and warrants to Placement Agent that there are no brokers, representatives or other persons (outside of those contemplated by this Agreement), which have an interest in compensation due to Placement Agent from any transaction contemplated herein. |
| (g) | The Client represents to Placement Agent that it has not knowingly taken, and agrees that it will not knowingly take, any action, directly or indirectly, so as to cause the Offering to fail to be entitled to the exemption from registration afforded by Regulation A+ under Section 401 of the JOBS Act and Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

| (h) | The Client represents and warrants that it does not and will not make any sale of the Securities with a view to distribution of the Securities (until such Securities become appropriately registered), and that this Offering does not and shall not violate any federal, state, local, foreign or other laws, rules, regulations or interpretations, including those rules, regulations and interpretations of the SEC, IRS, FINRA and any other self-regulatory organization or domestic or foreign governmental agency or entity. |
| (i) | The Client will not at any time during the term of this Agreement, or for a period of six (6) months following completion of the placement of Securities contemplated hereby, make any reference publicly to the transactions contemplated hereby, by way of the issuance of a press release, the placement of an advertisement or otherwise, without the prior consent of Placement Agent. |
| 5 |
| (j) | The Client will provide copies to Placement Agent of any current or previous filings with the SEC in the last twelve (12) months from the date of this letter. |

The Client agrees that any representations and warranties made by it to any Potential Investor in the Offering shall be deemed also to be made to Placement Agent for its benefit. |
