The Dealer Manager is authorized to enter into selected dealer agreements (each a “Selected Dealer Agreement”) in a form to be agreed upon by the Company and the Dealer Manager with other broker-dealers acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion who will participate in the Offering (each participating broker-dealer being referred to herein as a “Dealer.”) Each such Dealer shall be a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). The Dealer Manager may also enter into placement agreements in a form to be agreed upon by the Company and the Dealer Manager with registered investment advisers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion. To the extent the Dealer Manager solicits investors or executes trades in connection with the Offering, it will be deemed to be a Dealer in the Offering. In addition, the Dealer Manager shall act as dealer manager and broker-dealer with respect to Shares sold in the states of Arizona and Oregon pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan under the Form S-3 filed with the SEC.

ii.
The Company has provided to NCPS the current version of the Company’s Form 1A Offering Statement for the Offering and the offering circular contained therein (the final version, as amended and supplemented, is referred to as the “Offering Circular”), and the definitive subscription and governance documents for the Company. Upon completion of preliminary due diligence by NCPS, acceptance of the Offering for placement and commencement of NCPS’s participation in the Offering, the Offering Circular and any printed sales literature or other materials authorized by the Company to be used in the Offering (“Authorized Sales Materials”) will comprise the offering materials for the Offering (the “Offering Materials”), which may be made available on the Online Platform, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement with respect to Authorized Sales Materials.
1

NCPS is not, and in its agreements with the Dealers NCPS will require that the Dealers agree that they are not, authorized or permitted to give, and will not give, any information or make any representation (written or oral) concerning the Shares except as set forth in the Offering Materials. NCPS agrees, and in its agreements with the Dealers will require that the Dealers agree, that the Offering Circular will be available to each investor to whom an offer is made prior to accepting a subscription agreement from such investor.

Except for the Authorized Sales Materials, the Company has not authorized the use of any supplemental literature or sales materials in connection with the Offering and NCPS agrees, and in its agreements with the Dealers NCPS will require the Dealers to agree, not to use any material unless it has been authorized by the Company and provided to NCPS or the Dealers by the Company. NCPS agrees, and in its agreements with the Dealers NCPS will require each Dealer to agree, that it will not show or give to any investor or prospective investor or reproduce any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Company and marked “broker-dealer use only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public and such parties agree that they will not make such materials available through the Online Platform. NCPS agrees, and in its agreements with the Dealers NCPS will require each Dealer to agree, that it will not show or give to any investor or prospective investor in a particular jurisdiction, or make available to such investor through the Online Platform, any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Company if such material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public in such jurisdiction. NCPS agrees, and in its agreements with the Dealers NCPS will require each Dealer to agree, that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Shares any material or writing that relates to another company supplied to it by the Company bearing a legend that states that such material may not be used in connection with the offer or sale of any securities of the Company.


iii.
NCPS will undertake due diligence of the Company and the Offering. Upon satisfactory completion of due diligence and subject to approval of the Offering by NCPS in its sole discretion, NCPS will accept the Offering and begin solicitation and participation in the Offering upon the terms set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to the Offering Circular.

3.
Syndication and Submission of Orders.


i.
Each investor who wishes to purchase Shares in the Offering must complete, execute and submit to the Company a subscription agreement as mutually agreed upon by NCPS and the Company (each a “Subscription Agreement”). After an investor submits a Subscription Agreement in respect of the Offering, NCPS and the Company will have 20 days from receipt of such Subscription Agreement and all other documentation required pursuant to the Offering Circular to review and accept or reject (the “Acceptance Period”) such purchase order (“Proposed Subscription”). If accepted by both the Company and NCPS, the Company shall notify the investor of such acceptance via the Online Platform (each, a “Subscribing Investor”). After the expiration of the Acceptance Period, if not accepted the order will be deemed rejected. If accepted and upon payment in full to the Company for the Shares, the Company will issue the applicable Shares to such Subscribing Investor unless Subscribing Investor withdraws such Proposed Subscription before it is accepted.


ii.
All orders received by NCPS, whether initial or additional, and whether solicited or unsolicited, are subject to acceptance by and shall only become effective upon confirmation by the Company as provided above. NCPS agrees, and in its agreements with the Dealers will require the Dealers to agree, that the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, and no commissions will be paid to NCPS or the Dealers with respect to the portion of any subscription that is rejected. Orders not accompanied by a Subscription Agreement with the executed signature page and the required check or wire transfer or such other form of payment as agreed upon by the parties (“instruments of payment”) in payment for the Shares may be rejected. Issuance and delivery of the Shares will be made only after actual receipt of payment therefor. If any check is not paid upon presentment, or if the Company is not in actual receipt of clearinghouse funds or cash, certified or cashier’s check or the equivalent in payment for the Shares, the Company reserves the right to cancel the sale without notice. In the event an order is rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason, NCPS agrees to return to the Company any commissions theretofore paid with respect to such order within 30 days thereafter and, failing to do so, the Company shall have the right to offset amounts owed against future commissions due and otherwise payable to NCPS.
2


iii.
If the Company receives payment from an investor prior to NCPS’s approval as provided in Section 3(i), the Company will not withdraw or otherwise access such funds until NCPS’s approval is received. If a Proposed Subscription is rejected, the Company shall promptly return such funds to the investor.

4.
Compensation.


i.
With respect to any Shares sold by and trades executed by NCPS during the term of this Agreement in the Offering pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay NCPS in accordance with Exhibit A (the “Compensation Schedule”) with respect to Shares sold in the Offering. All commissions shall be based on Shares sold by NCPS and accepted and confirmed by the Company, which commissions will be paid by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no selling commissions, dealer manager fees or other compensation shall be paid with respect to Shares sold through the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. For these purposes, a “sale of Shares” shall occur if and only if a transaction has closed with a subscriber for Shares pursuant to all applicable offering and subscription documents, payment for the Shares has been received by the Company in full in the manner provided in Section 3, and the Company has accepted the Subscription Agreement of such subscriber. The parties hereby agree that the foregoing commissions are not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ compensation received in the sale of securities similar to the Shares, that Dealer Manager’s interest in the Offering is limited to such commissions from the Company and Dealer Manager’s indemnity referred to in Section 9 and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such commissions to the Dealer Manager. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer for direct payment of commissions to any Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment of commissions to Dealers. Notwithstanding the above, at the discretion of the Company, the Company may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of commissions to Dealers on behalf of the Dealer Manager without incurring any liability.


ii.
Payment of the commissions set forth on Exhibit A will be made by the Company to NCPS within the time frame set forth on Exhibit A. The Company, together with its transfer agent, shall be responsible for calculating such commissions. The Company shall provide NCPS with reasonable access to the records used to calculate such fees.


iii.
If any valued added or similar tax (“VAT”) is chargeable in respect of any payments to NCPS, the Company shall be responsible for the payment (or reimbursement) of any VAT imposed on account of any payments to NCPS by or on behalf of the Company.

5.
Offering Expenses. The Company shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse NCPS for any due diligence expenses, except as set forth in Exhibit A.

6.
Confirmation. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Company has assumed the duty to confirm on behalf of NCPS all orders for purchases of Shares accepted by the Company.

7.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of NCPS. NCPS represents and warrants to the Company that:


i.
NCPS is registered, in good standing, and has obtained all approvals and licenses required to offer and sell the Shares and to conduct its business, including payment of all federal, state, and local taxes. NCPS represents and warrants to the Company that it is a properly registered or licensed broker-dealer, duly authorized to offer and sell Shares under federal securities laws and regulations, the securities laws and regulations of all states where it offers or sells Shares and under the rules and regulations of FINRA or any other self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction over NCPS, and that it is a member of FINRA in good standing. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if NCPS ceases to be a member of FINRA in good standing or is subject to a FINRA suspension or if NCPS registration or license under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any state securities laws or regulations is terminated or suspended; NCPS agrees to notify the Company immediately if any of these events occur.

Subject to Section 9(iv) and the limitations below, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Dealers and the Dealer Manager, their affiliates and their employees, officers, directors, agents, advisors, representatives and each person, if any, who controls such Dealer or the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (collectively, the “Losses”), to which such Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in any federal or state securities filing or other document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of exempting any or all of the Shares from the registration requirements under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon information furnished by the Company under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Filing”), or (iii) in any Authorized Sales Materials, (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Filing or Authorized Sales Materials, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, (c) any material violation of this Agreement, (d) any failure to comply with applicable laws, including laws governing privacy issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, (e) any other failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or (f) the Dealer Manager acting as dealer manager and broker-dealer with respect to Shares sold in the states of Arizona and Oregon pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan under Form S-3 filed with the SEC. The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable and documented legal or other reasonable and documented expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending such Loss.
9

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(i), the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished (x) to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager, or (y) to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of any Dealer, specifically for inclusion in the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement thereto, any such Filing or any Authorized Sales Material; and further, the Company will not be liable in any such case if it is finally judicially determined that the Dealer Manager or the Dealer was at fault in connection with the Loss, expense or action, and if so, only to the extent of such fault.

The foregoing indemnity agreement of this Section 9(i) is subject to the further condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in the Offering Circular (or amendment or supplement thereto) that was eliminated or remedied in any subsequent amendment or supplement thereto, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of an Indemnified Person from whom the person asserting any Losses purchased the Shares that are the subject thereof, if a copy of the Offering Circular as so amended or supplemented was not sent or given to such person at or prior to the time the subscription of such person was accepted by the Company, but only if a copy of the Offering Circular as so amended or supplemented had been supplied to the Dealer Manager or the Dealer prior to such acceptance.


ii.
The Dealer Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealers and their employees, officers and directors (including any persons named in the Offering Circular with his consent, as about to become a director), and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Dealer Manager Indemnified Persons”), and from and against any Losses to which any of the Dealer Manager Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) in any Filing or (iii) in any Authorized Sales Materials; (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, in any Filing or in any Authorized Sales Material, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, provided that clauses (a) and (b) apply to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for inclusion in the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any such Filing or Authorized Sales Materials; (c) any use of sales literature not authorized or approved by the Company or any use of “broker-dealer use only” materials with members of the public by the Dealer Manager in the offer and sale of the Shares or any use of sales literature in a particular jurisdiction if such material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public in such jurisdiction; (d) any untrue statement made by the Dealer Manager or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares; (e) any material violation of this Agreement or the Selected Dealer Agreement entered into between the Dealer Manager and the Dealer; (f) any failure to comply with applicable laws, including laws governing privacy issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the SEC, FINRA and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and the regulations and programs administered by the OFAC at the U.S. Department of the Treasury; or (g) any other failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided that the Dealer Manager will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished (x) to the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of the Company or (y) to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of any Dealer specifically for use in the preparation of the Offering Circular or any Authorized Sales Materials or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto. The Dealer Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Dealer Manager may otherwise have; provided that the collective aggregate liability of NCPS under or in connection with this Agreement under any legal or equitable theory shall be limited to the compensation actually received by Dealer Manager under this Agreement, the Prior Agreement and that certain Dealer Management Agreement, dated January 2, 2020, by and between the Parties (which was terminated by the Prior Agreement except as otherwise set forth therein, the “Original Agreement”).
10


iii.
NCPS’s agreements with Dealers will require each Dealer severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each of their employees, officers and directors (including any persons named in the Offering Circular with his consent, as about to become a director), and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Dealer Indemnified Persons”) from and against any Losses to which a Dealer Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) in any Filing, or (iii) in any Authorized Sales Materials; (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement thereto, in any Filing or in any Authorized Sales Materials, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, provided that clauses (a) and (b) apply to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of the Dealer specifically for inclusion in the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement thereto or any such Filing or Authorized Sales Materials; (c) any use of sales literature not authorized or approved by the Company or any use of “broker-dealer use only” materials with members of the public by the Dealer in the offer and sale of the Shares or any use of sales literature in a particular jurisdiction if such material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public in such jurisdiction; (d) any untrue statement made by the Dealer or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares; (e) any material violation of this Agreement or the Selected Dealer Agreement entered into between the Dealer Manager and Dealer; (f) any failure to comply with applicable laws, including laws governing privacy issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the SEC, FINRA and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and the regulations and programs administered by the OFAC at the U.S. Department of the Treasury; or (g) any other failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided that the Dealer will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished (x) to the Dealer by or on behalf of the Company or (y) to the Company or the Dealer by or on behalf of any Managing Dealer specifically for use in the preparation of the Offering Circular or any Authorized Sales Materials or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto. The Dealer will reimburse each Dealer Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that Dealer may otherwise have.


iv.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not indemnify or hold harmless the Dealer Manager, any Dealer or any of their affiliates in any manner that would be inconsistent with the provisions of the Company’s charter in effect as of the date of this Dealer Manager Agreement or Section II.G. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association.
11


v.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action (but in no event in excess of 60 days after receipt of actual notice), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure of an indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party will relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 9 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 9(v)) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnified party.


vi.
The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 9; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

10.
Compliance with this Agreement. Each of the Company and NCPS, on request of the other, agrees to provide reasonable assurances (including written representations) of its compliance with the terms of this Agreement and, in order to verify such compliance, reasonable access to any documents in its possession referring or relating to any investor or prospective investor (whether or not such investor invests in the Offering of the Company).

11.
Agreement not Exclusive. The parties acknowledge and agree that this is not an exclusive agreement. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, NCPS may render solicitation services of the kind contemplated herein for persons other than the Company.

12.
Customer Complaints. Each party agrees to promptly provide to the other party copies of any written or otherwise documented complaints from customers of NCPS received by such party relating in any way to the Offering (including, but not limited to, the manner in which the Shares are offered by NCPS).

13.
Remedies. Subject to the restrictions in the Company’s charter, as amended, nothing contained in this Agreement will limit a party’s right to any other remedies at law or in equity. In any litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding by which one party either seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement (whether in contract, tort, or both) or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees, and costs and expenses incurred, subject to the restrictions in the Company’s charter, as amended. All rights and remedies of the Company herein will be in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance and temporary and permanent injunctive relief. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
12

14.
Confidentiality. In connection with NCPS’s due diligence review of the Offering, NCPS (or its agent performing due diligence) may request receipt of confidential information regarding the Offering, the Company, the Company’s sponsor or the sponsor’s affiliates. The Company will reasonably cooperate with NCPS to accommodate such request; provided, however, any such information provided to NCPS or its agent will continue to be subject to the terms of the confidentiality agreement attached as Appendix A to the Original Agreement (which was terminated by the Prior Agreement except with reference to such appendix and as otherwise set forth in the Prior Agreement).

15.
Termination. Subject to Section 7(i) and Section 7(xviii), this Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time upon the provision of 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the other. If not sooner terminated, the Dealer Manager’s agency and this Agreement shall terminate, and all Selected Dealer Agreements shall terminate, at the close of business on the effective date that the Offering is terminated without obligation on the part of the Dealer Manager or the Company, except as set forth in this Agreement or the Selected Dealer Agreements, as applicable. Upon termination of this Agreement, (a) the Company shall pay to NCPS all earned but unpaid compensation at such times as such amounts become payable in accordance with the terms hereunder, and (b) the Dealer Manager will promptly deliver to the Company all records and documents in its possession or control that relate to the Offering and that are not designated as “dealer” copies. The Dealer Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to accomplish an orderly transfer of management of the Offering to a party designated by the Company.

16.
Publicity. NCPS shall not engage in any press release, announcement, interview, or other publicity regarding the Offering without the Company’s prior written consent.

17.
Changes to Applicable Law. To the extent that the existing law relating to this Agreement changes, and such change affects this Agreement, the parties will use reasonable efforts to negotiate and reform the affected portion of this Agreement to comply with the change.

18.
Disputes. In the unlikely event that a dispute arises concerning any provision of this Agreement, the parties will work together in good faith to resolve the matter internally by elevating the matter to higher levels of management. If the dispute remains unresolved, the Company and NCPS hereby acknowledge and agree that venue for any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall lie exclusively in New York, New York.

19.
Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware; provided, however, that the governing law for causes of action for violations of federal or state securities law shall be governed by the applicable federal or state securities law.

20.
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. Except as provided otherwise in Section 9, in any arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding, informal or formal, by which one party either seeks to enforce this Agreement or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the non-prevailing party will pay the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

21.
Compliance with Laws; Policies and Procedures. All parties agree to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, executive orders and regulations issued, where applicable.

22.
Cooperation. Where agreement, approval, acceptance, consent or similar action by either party hereto is required by any provision of this Agreement, such action will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. Each party will cooperate with the other by, among other things, making available, as reasonably requested by the other, management decisions, information, approvals, and acceptances in order that each party may properly accomplish its obligations and responsibilities hereunder.

23.
Force Majeure; Excused Performance. Neither party will be liable for delays or any failure to perform under this Agreement due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Such delays include, but are not limited to, fire, explosion, pandemic, flood or other natural catastrophe, governmental legislation, acts, orders, or regulation, strikes or labor difficulties, to the extent not occasioned by the fault or negligence of the delayed party. Any such excuse for delay will last only as long as the event remains beyond the reasonable control of the delayed party. However, the delayed party will use its best efforts to minimize the delays caused by any such event beyond its reasonable control.
13

24.
No Waiver. The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement will in no way affect that party’s right to enforce such provisions, nor will the waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver of any further breach of the same provision.

25.
Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications under this Agreement have binding legal effect only if in writing to the address set forth below, or as changed through written notice to the other Party. Notices sent in accordance with this Section 25 will be deemed effectively given: (a) when received, if delivered by hand, with signed confirmation of receipt; (b) when received, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, signature required; (c) on the third day after the date mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) by email (with delivery confirmation). In addition, the Company and NCPS consent to the receipt of notices electronically via email.

26.
Assignment of Agreement. This Agreement and the obligations of each party hereunder are personal to such party. Neither party nor any successor, receiver, or assignee of such party will directly or indirectly assign this Agreement or the rights or duties created by this Agreement, whether such assignment is effected in connection with a sale of such party’s assets or stock or through merger, an insolvency proceeding or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other parties.

27.
Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement. The parties agree that a facsimile signature may substitute for and have the same legal effect as the original signature.

28.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and its attached exhibit constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede any and all previous representations, understandings, or agreements between the Company and NCPS as to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the parties. This Agreement will be construed without regard to the party that drafted it. Any ambiguity will not be interpreted against either party and will, instead, be resolved in accordance with other applicable rules concerning the interpretation of contracts. Unless otherwise stated, any section, exhibit or appendix reference shall be to a section, exhibit or appendix in this Agreement.

29.
Privacy Laws. The Company and NCPS (each referred to individually in this Section 29 as a “party”) agree, and in its agreements with Dealers will require the Dealers to agree, as follows:


i.
Each party agrees to abide by and comply in all respects with (a) the privacy standards and requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLBA”) and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable federal or state law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and (c) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, which are no less rigorous than accepted industry standard policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time.
14


ii.
NCPS and the Dealers shall not disclose nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLBA) of all customers who have opted out of such disclosures, except to service providers (when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA) or as otherwise required by applicable law;


iii.
Except as expressly permitted under the FCRA, NCPS and the Dealers shall not disclose any information that would be considered a “consumer report” under the FCRA;


iv.
NCPS and the Dealers shall be responsible for determining which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving a list of such customers (the “List”) to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. In the event either party expects to use or disclose nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than servicing the customer, or as otherwise required by applicable law, that party must first consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. Each party understands that it is prohibited from using or disclosing any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures.


v.
Each Party shall: (a) comply with all applicable requirements of the CCPA (as defined below), when collecting, using, retaining or disclosing personal information; (b) limit personal information collection, use, retention and disclosure to activities reasonably necessary and proportionate to the performance of this Agreement or other compatible operational purpose; (c) only collect, use, retain or disclose personal information collected in connection with this Agreement; (d) not collect, use, retain, disclose, sell or otherwise make personal information available for such Party’s own commercial purposes or in a way that does not comply with the CCPA as applicable to such Party; (e) promptly comply with another Party’s request or instruction requiring such Party to provide, amend, transfer or delete the personal information, or to stop, mitigate, or remedy any unauthorized processing; (f) reasonably cooperate and assist another Party in meeting any compliance obligations and responding to related inquiries, including responding to verifiable consumer requests, taking into account the nature of such Party’s processing and the information available to such Party; and (g) notify each other Party immediately if it receives any complaint, notice or communication that directly or indirectly relates to any Party’s compliance in connection with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “CCPA” means the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (Cal. Civ. Code Sec.Sec. 1798.100 to 1798.199), and any related regulations or guidance provided by the California Attorney General.


vi.
The provisions of this Section 29 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

30.
Survival of Representations and Warranties. Except as the context otherwise requires, all representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties and agreements at and through the Offering termination date, and such representations, warranties and agreements, the indemnification provisions contained in Section 9, Sections 18-20 and this Section 30 shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall survive the sale of, and payment for, the Shares and the termination of this Agreement.

31.
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs. NCPS’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Company that NCPS has established and implemented an anti-money laundering and customer identification compliance program (“AML Program”) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including federal and state securities laws, applicable rules of FINRA, and the Bank Secrecy Act, Title 31 U.S.C. Sections 5311-5355, as amended by the USA Patriot Act of 2001, and related regulations (31 C.F.R. Part 103), and will continue to maintain its AML Program consistent with applicable laws and regulations during the term of this Agreement. In accordance with these applicable laws and regulations and its AML Program, NCPS agrees to verify the identity of its new customers; to maintain customer records; to check the names of new customers against government watch lists, including the Office of Foreign Asset Control’s (“OFAC”) list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. Additionally, NCPS will monitor account activity to identify patterns of unusual size or volume, geographic factors and any other “red flags” described in the USA Patriot Act as potential signals of money laundering or terrorist financing. NCPS will submit to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network any required suspicious activity reports about such activity and further will disclose such activity to applicable federal and state law enforcement when required by law. Upon request by the Company at any time, NCPS hereby agrees to furnish (a) a copy of its AML Program to the Company for review, and (b) a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with NCPS’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program.
15

32.
No Partnership. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to constitute the Dealer Manager as in association with or in partnership with the Company; instead, this Agreement shall only constitute the Dealer Manager as a dealer authorized by the Company to sell and to manage the sale by others of the Shares according to the terms set forth in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented and in this Agreement.

33.
Fiduciary Matters. The Dealer Manager acknowledges and agrees, and in its agreements with the Dealers will require the Dealers to acknowledge and agree, as follows:


i.
The Company and its affiliates and related parties (collectively, the “Issuer Parties”) may engage in sales and marketing activities with the Dealer Manager and the Dealers. These activities may include, without limitation, attending meetings, conferences and forums, as well as making offering materials, sales literature, educational materials and other resources available in connection with sales and marketing activities regarding the Company to the Dealer Manager, the Dealers and their respective affiliates.


ii.
With respect to any of the Dealer Manager’s or the Dealer’s customers which is a plan, plan fiduciary, plan participant or beneficiary, individual retirement account (“IRA”) or IRA owner subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (collectively, “Retirement Customers”), the Issuer Parties are not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with any transaction in the Company (“Transaction”).


iii.
Certain of the Issuer Parties have financial interests associated with the purchase of Shares, including the fees, expense reimbursements and other payments they anticipate receiving in connection with the purchase of Shares, as described in the Offering Circular.


iv.
The Issuer Parties are not receiving a fee or other compensation directly from the Dealer Manager, the Dealer or any of their Retirement Customers for the provision of investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with any Transaction.


v.
By continuing to advise the Dealer Manager’s or the Dealer’s Retirement Customers with respect to any Transaction in the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Dealer, as applicable, represents and warrants that:


(a)
The Dealer Manager or the Dealer, as applicable, is either (a) a broker dealer registered under the Exchange Act, (b) a “bank” as defined in section 202 of the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), or similar institution that is regulated and supervised and subject to periodic examination by a state or federal agency, (c) an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, or if not so registered by reason of paragraph 1 of Section 203A of the Advisers Act, an investment adviser registered under the laws of the State in which the Dealer Manager or Dealer, as applicable, maintains its principal office and place of business or (d) an independent fiduciary that has a least $50 million in total assets under management or control;


(b)
There is no financial interest, ownership interest, or other relationship, agreement, or understanding that would limit the Dealer Manager’s or the Dealer’s ability to carry out its fiduciary responsibility to any of its Retirement Customers beyond the control, direction, or influence of other persons involved in the Transaction;


(c)
The Dealer Manager and the Dealer, as applicable, is capable of evaluating investment risk independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies; and


(d)
The Dealer Manager or the Dealer, as applicable, is a fiduciary under ERISA or the Code, or both, with respect to the Transaction, and the Dealer Manager or the Dealer, as applicable, is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the Transaction, with respect to its Retirement Customers.
