The Broker Cash Fee shall be paid to the Placement Agents in cash by wire transfer from the escrow account established for the Offering, and as a condition to closing, simultaneous with the distribution of funds to the Company. The allocation of the Broker Cash Fee between the Placement Agents (and their designees, if applicable) shall be provided in writing by the Placement Agents.

(b)          Also, at each Closing, the Company will sell for an aggregate price of $10.00 to the Placement Agents (or their designees), warrants in the form of Attachment I to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal, in the aggregate, to 10% of the number of Securities sold in the Offering, which warrants shall have an initial exercise price equal to the price per share of the Securities (“Brokers Warrants”); except for Securities sold to certain existing investors of Akoustis for which the Placement Agents shall be entitled to warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 2% of such Securities sold. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, all warrants shall permit unencumbered transfer to the respective Placement Agents’ employees and affiliates and the warrants may be issued directly to the respective Placement Agents’ employees and affiliates at the respective Placement Agents’ request. The allocation of the Brokers Warrants between the Placement Agents (and their designees, if applicable) shall be provided in writing by the Placement Agents. The Broker Cash Fee and the Broker Warrants are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Brokers Fees”).

(c)          To the extent there is more than one Closing, payment of the proportional amount of the Broker Cash Fees will be made out of the gross proceeds from any sale of Securities sold at each Closing and the Company will issue to the Placement Agents the corresponding number of Brokers Warrants. All cash compensation and warrants under this Agreement shall be paid directly by the Company to and in the name provided to the Company by the Placement Agents.

(d)  Provided that an Offering is consummated during the Offering Period, the Placement Agents shall be entitled to the Broker Cash Fee and Brokers Warrants, calculated in the manner provided in Paragraph C with respect to any subsequent public or private offering or other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind (“Subsequent Financing”) to the extent that such financing or capital is provided the Company, or to any Affiliate of the Company, by investors whom the Placement Agents had “introduced” (as defined below), directly or indirectly, to the Company during the Offering Period if such Subsequent Financing is consummated at any time within the six-month period following the earlier of expiration or termination of this Agreement or the closing of the Offering, if an Offering is consummated (the “Tail Period”).  A party “introduced” by the Placement Agents shall mean an investor who either (i) met with the Company and/or had a conversation with the Company either in person or via telephone regarding the Offering or (ii) was provided by the Placement Agents with a copy of the Company’s offering memorandum (or other materials prepared and/or approved by the Company in connection with the Offering) based upon such investor expressing an interest, directly or indirectly,  to the Placement Agents in investing in the Offering; and in each instance as listed on an Exhibit that the Placement Agents shall provide in writing to the Company at the closing of the Offering.

(b)          The Company shall make available to the Placement Agents and their representatives such information, including, but not limited to, financial information, and other information regarding the Company (the “Information”), as may be reasonably requested in making a reasonable investigation of the Company and its affairs. The Company shall provide access to the officers, directors, employees, independent accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and consultants of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Placement Agents. The Company recognizes and agrees that the Placement Agents (i) will use and rely primarily on the Information and generally available information from recognized public sources in performing the services contemplated by this Agreement without independently verifying the Information or such other information, (ii) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of the Information or such other information, and (iii) will not make an appraisal of any assets or liabilities owned or controlled by the Company or its market competitors.

(c)          Each prospective purchaser will be required to complete and execute the Subscription Documents, Anti-Money Laundering Form, Accredited Investor Certification and other documents which will be forwarded or delivered to the Placement Agent at the Placement Agent’s offices at the address set forth in Section 12 hereof or to an address identified in the Subscription Documents.

(d)          Simultaneously with the delivery to the Placement Agents of the Subscription Documents, the subscriber’s check or other good funds will be forwarded directly by the subscriber to the escrow agent and deposited into a non interest bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established for such purpose (the “Escrow Agent”). All such funds for subscriptions will be held in the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among the Company, the Placement Agents and the Escrow Agent. The Company will pay all fees related to the establishment and maintenance of the Escrow Account. Subject to the receipt of subscriptions for the amount for Closing, the Company will either accept or reject, for any or no reason, the Subscription Documents in a timely fashion and at each Closing will countersign the Subscription Documents and provide duplicate copies of such documents to the Placement Agents for distribution to the subscribers. The Company will give notice to the Placement Agents of its acceptance of each subscription. The Company, or the Placement Agents on the Company’s behalf, will promptly return to subscribers incomplete, improperly completed, improperly executed and rejected subscriptions and give written notice thereof to the Placement Agents upon such return.

(e)          If subscriptions for at least the Minimum Offering Amount for Closing have been accepted prior to the Termination Date, the funds therefor have been collected by the Escrow Agent and all of the conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are fulfilled, a closing shall be held promptly with respect to the Securities sold (the “First Closing”). Thereafter, the remaining Securities will continue to be offered and sold until the earlier of the Termination Date or the date that additional subscription amounts up to the Maximum Offering amount have been collected by the Escrow Agent. Additional Closings (each a “Closing”, collectively “Closings”) may from time to time be conducted at times mutually agreed to among the Company and the Placement Agents with respect to additional Securities sold, with the final closing (“Final Closing”) to occur within 10 days after the earlier of the Termination Date and the date on which the Maximum Amount has been subscribed for. Delivery of payment for the accepted subscriptions for the Securities from the funds held in the Escrow Account will be made at each Closing at the Placement Agents’ offices against delivery of the Securities by the Company at the address set forth in Section 12 hereof (or at such other place as may be mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Placement Agents), net of amounts agreed upon by the parties herein, including, the Blue Sky counsel as of such Closing. Executed certificates for the shares of Common Stock and the Brokers Warrants will be in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Placement Agents may request on or before the date of each Closing (“Closing Date”). The certificates will be forwarded to the subscriber directly by the stock transfer agent as soon as practicable following each Closing. At each Closing, the Company will (i) deliver irrevocable issuance instruction to its stock transfer agent for the issuance of certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being sold, and (ii) issue and deliver the applicable Brokers Warrants.

(f)          If Subscription Documents for the Minimum Offering Amount for Closing have not been received and accepted by the Company on or before the Termination Date for any reason, the Offering will be terminated, no Securities will be sold, and the Escrow Agent will, at the request of the Placement Agents, cause all monies received from subscribers for the Securities to be promptly returned to such subscribers without interest, penalty, expense or deduction.

5.            Further Covenants. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that:

(a)          Except upon prior written notice to the Placement Agents, the Company shall not, at any time prior to the Final Closing, knowingly take any action which would cause any of the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement not to be complete and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of each Closing with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of each such date (except to the extent any representation or warranty relates to an earlier date).

(b)          If, at any time prior to the Final Closing, any event shall occur that causes a Company Material Adverse Effect which as a result it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Subscription Documents so that the representations and warranties herein remain true and correct in all material respects, or in case it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Subscription Documents to comply with Regulation D or any other applicable securities laws or regulations, the Company will promptly notify the Placement Agents and shall, at its sole cost, prepare and furnish to the Placement Agents copies of appropriate amendments and/or supplements in such quantities as the Placement Agents may reasonably request. The Company will not at any time before the Final Closing prepare or use any amendment or supplement to the Subscription Documents of which the Placement Agents will not previously have been advised and furnished with a copy, or which is not in compliance in all material respects with the Act and other applicable securities laws. As soon as the Company is advised thereof, the Company will advise the Placement Agents and its counsel, and confirm the advice in writing, of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Subscription Documents, or the suspension of any exemption for such qualification or registration thereof for offering in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatened institution of any proceedings for any of such purposes, and the Company will use their best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as reasonably possible the lifting thereof.

(c)          The Company shall comply with the Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, all applicable state securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in the states in which the Company’s Blue Sky counsel has advised the Placement Agents and/or the Company that the Securities are qualified or registered for sale or exempt from such qualification or registration, so as to permit the continuance of the sales of the Securities, and will file or cause to be filed with the SEC, and shall promptly thereafter forward or cause to be forwarded to the Placement Agents, any and all reports on Form D as are required. The Company will pay the attorney’s fee and out of pocket expenses related to the filings for registrations of sale or exemption from such qualifications with any state securities commissions and any other regulatory agencies. Such fees will be paid at the time of invoicing, or at the time of Closing, if known, and if not yet invoiced, funds will remain in escrow to cover the estimated invoice. The Company will pay the invoice or authorize release of the funds from escrow within five (5) days of receipt of invoice.

(d)          The Company, at its own cost and expense, shall use best efforts to qualify the Securities for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as may be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Placement Agents, and the Company will make or cause to be made such applications and furnish information as may be required for such purposes, provided that the Company will not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction or execute a general consent to service of process. The Company will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements and reports as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Placement Agents may reasonably request with respect to the Offering.

(e)          The Company shall place a legend on the certificates representing the shares of the Common Stock and the Brokers Warrants that the securities evidenced thereby have not been registered under the Act or applicable state securities laws, setting forth or referring to the applicable restrictions on transferability and sale of such securities under the Act and applicable state laws.

(f)          The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities for the purposes set forth in the Subscription Documents. Except as set forth in the Subscription Documents, the Company shall not use any of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay indebtedness to officers (other than accrued salaries incurred in the ordinary course of business), directors or stockholders of the Company without the prior written consent of the Placement Agents.

(g)          During the Offering Period, the Company shall afford each prospective purchaser of Securities the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from an officer of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and the opportunity to obtain such other additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the Subscription Documents to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable expense.

(h)          Except with the prior written consent of the Placement Agents, the Company shall not, at any time prior to the earlier of the Final Closing or the Termination Date, except as contemplated by the Subscription Documents (i) engage in or commit to engage in any transaction other than the Merger outside the ordinary course of business as described in the Subscription Documents, (ii) issue, agree to issue or set aside for issuance any securities (debt or equity) or any rights to acquire any such securities, (iii) incur, outside the ordinary course of business, any material indebtedness, (iv) dispose of any material assets, (v) make any material acquisition or (vi) change its business or operations in any material respect.

(i)          Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, or this Agreement is terminated, the Company shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and printing of all necessary offering documents and instruments related to the Offering and the issuance of the Common Stock and the Brokers Warrants and will also pay for the Company’s expenses for accounting fees, legal fees, printing costs, and other costs involved with the Offering. The Company will provide at its own expense such quantities of the Subscription Documents and other documents and instruments relating to the Offering as the Placement Agents may reasonably request. The Company will pay at its own expense in connection with the creation, authorization, issuance, transfer and delivery of the Securities, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of any transfer agent or registrar; the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent; all fees and expenses of legal, accounting and other advisers to the Company; the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions, payable within five (5) days of being invoiced. The Company will pay all such amounts, unless previously paid, at the First Closing, or, if there is no Closing, within ten (10) days after written request therefor following the Termination Date. In addition to any fees payable to the Placement Agents hereunder and regardless of whether a Merger or Offering is consummated, the Company hereby agrees to promptly reimburse the Placement Agents upon written request as follows: Northland’s legal counsel fees in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and Northland’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) and Katalyst’s legal counsel fees in the amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) and Katalyst’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). Out-of-pocket expenses, include, but are not limited to, the fees and disbursements related to travel, database, FedEx, messenger, investor presentations, WebEx presentations, printing and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing the services described herein. This reimbursement obligation is in addition to the reimbursement of fees and expenses relating to attendance by the Placement Agents at proceedings or to indemnification and contribution as contemplated elsewhere in this agreement. In the event either Placement Agent’s personnel must attend or participate in judicial or other proceedings to which we are not a party relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the Company shall pay such Placement Agents an additional per diem payment, per person, at our customary rates, together with reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by it in respect of its preparation for and participation in such proceedings. The Placement Agents’ legal counsel fees do not include the Registration Legal Fees and expenses for the Blue Sky and other regulatory filings to be made in connection with the Offering(s).

(j)          On each Closing Date, the Company permits the Placement Agents to rely on any representations and warranties made by the Company to the investors and will cause its counsel to permit the Placement Agents to rely upon any opinion furnished to the investors in the Private Placement.

(k)          The Company will comply with all of its obligations and covenants set forth in its agreements with the investors in the Offering. If not filed on EDGAR, the Company will promptly deliver to the Placement Agent and their counsel copies of any and all filings with the SEC and each amendment or supplement thereto, as well as all prospectuses and free writing prospectuses, prior to the closing of the Offering and six months thereafter. The Placement Agents are authorized on behalf of the Company to use and distribute copies of any Subscription Documents, including Company’s SEC Filings in connection with the sale of the Securities as, and to the extent, permitted by federal and applicable state securities laws. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents will be relying, without assuming responsibility for independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information that is and will be furnished to them by the Company and the Company will be liable for any material misstatements or omissions contained therein.

8.           Indemnification.

(a)          The Company will: (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agents, jointly and severally, their agents and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, selected dealers and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agents within the meaning of the Act and such agents (each an “Indemnitee” or a “Placement Agent Party”) against, and pay or reimburse each Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions or proceedings or investigations in respect thereof (collectively, “Proceedings”), joint or several (which will, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including appeals), to which any Indemnitee may become subject (a) under the Act or otherwise, in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities and (b) as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company herein or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations under the Agreement, regardless of whether such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses shall result from any claim by any Indemnitee or by any third party; and (ii) reimburse each Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, action, proceeding or investigation; provided, however, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, damage or liability of a Placement Agent is to have resulted from that Placement Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition to the foregoing agreement to indemnify and reimburse, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions or proceedings or investigations in respect thereof), joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including appeals) to which any Indemnitee may become subject insofar as such costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon the claim of any person or entity that he or it is entitled to broker’s or finder’s fees from any Indemnitee in connection with the Offering as a result of the Company obligating itself or any Indemnitee to pay such a fee, other than fees due to the Placement Agents, its dealers, sub-agents or finders. The foregoing indemnity agreements will be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. The Indemnitees are intended third party beneficiaries of this provision.

(b)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, claim, proceeding or investigation (the “Action”), such indemnified party, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, will notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 unless the indemnifying party has been substantially prejudiced by such omission. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof subject to the provisions herein stated, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided, however, that if the indemnified party shall be requested by the indemnifying party to participate in the defense thereof or shall have concluded in good faith and specifically notified the indemnifying party either that there may be specific defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that such Action involves or could have a material adverse effect upon it with respect to matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement, then the counsel representing it, to the extent made necessary by such defenses, shall have the right to direct such defenses of such Action on its behalf and in such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in connection with any such participation or defenses shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No settlement of any Action against an indemnified party will be made without the consent of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in light of all factors of importance to such party, and no indemnifying party shall be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such claim effected without such indemnifying party’s consent. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party requests the indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceedings as contemplated by this indemnity agreement, the indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent if (i) the proposed settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) the indemnifying party has not reimbursed the indemnified party within 30 days of such request for reimbursement, (iii) the indemnified party delivered written notice to the indemnifying party of its intention to settle and the failure to pay within such 30 day period, and (iv) the indemnifying party does not, within 15 days of receipt of the notice of the intention to settle and failure to pay, reimburse the indemnified party for such legal or other expenses and object to the indemnified party’s seeking to settle such Proceedings.

9.           Contribution. To provide for just and equitable contribution, if: (i) an indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8 hereof and it is finally determined, by a judgment, order or decree not subject to further appeal that such claims for indemnification may not be enforced, even though this Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total Brokers’ Fees received by the Placement Agents. The relative fault, in the case of an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission will be determined by, among other things, whether such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agents, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission. The Company and the Placement Agents agree that it would be unjust and inequitable if the respective obligations of the Company and the Placement Agents for contribution were determined by pro rata allocation of the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses or by any other method or allocation that does not reflect the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9. No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agents within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 9. Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent. This Section 9 is intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available. The provisions of Section 9 shall apply to each Placement Agent on a several, and not joint, basis.

10.         Termination.

(a)          The Offering may be terminated by the Placement Agents at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period in the event that: (i) any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein or in the Subscription Documents shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when actually made; (ii) the Company shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or under any other Company Transaction Document or any other transaction document; (iii) there shall occur any event, within the control of the Company that is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated hereunder or the ability of the Company to perform hereunder; or (iv) the Placement Agents determine that it is reasonably likely that any of the conditions to Closing to be fulfilled by the Company set forth herein will not, or cannot, be satisfied.

(b)          This Offering may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to the Termination Date in the event that (i) the Placement Agents shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or (ii) on account of the Placement Agents’ fraud, illegal or willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event of any termination by the Company, the Placement Agents shall be entitled to receive, on the Termination Date, all unpaid Broker Fees earned or accrued through the Termination Date and reimbursement of all expenses as provided for in this Agreement, but shall be entitled to no other amounts whatsoever except as may be due under any indemnity or contribution obligation for provided herein, at law or otherwise. On such Termination Date, the Company shall pay all such unpaid costs and expenses incurred by the Placement Agents in connection with the Offering; provided, however, that such costs and expenses shall not exceed the maximum Placement Agent Expense Allowance, and all unpaid Blue Sky Fees and other expenses set forth in Section 5(i) hereof.

(c)          This Offering may be terminated upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Placement Agents at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period.

(d)          Except as otherwise provided above, before any termination by the Placement Agents under Section 10(a) or by the Company under Section 10(b) shall become effective, the terminating party shall give ten (10) day prior written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate the Offering (the “Termination Notice”). The Termination Notice shall specify the grounds for the proposed termination. If the specified grounds for termination, or their resulting adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereby, are curable, then the other party shall have five (5) days from the Termination Notice within which to remove such grounds or to eliminate all of their material adverse effects on the transactions contemplated hereby; otherwise, the Offering shall terminate.

(e)          Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 10, the Placement Agents and the Company will instruct the Escrow Agent to cause all monies received with respect to the subscriptions for Securities not accepted by the Company to be promptly returned to such subscribers without interest, penalty or deduction.

11.         Survival.

(a)          The obligations of the parties to pay any costs and expenses hereunder and to provide indemnification and contribution as provided herein shall survive any termination hereunder. In addition, the provisions of Sections 3, and 8 through 22 shall survive the sale of the Securities or any termination of the Offering hereunder.

(b)          The respective indemnities, covenants, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Placement Agents set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of, and regardless of any access to information by the Company or the Placement Agents, or any of their officers or directors or any controlling person thereof, and will survive the sale of the Securities or any termination of the Offering hereunder.

18.          Advice to the Board. The Company acknowledges that any advice given by the Placement Agents to the Company is solely for benefit and use of the Company’s board of directors and officers, who will make all decisions regarding whether and how to pursue any opportunity or transaction, including any potential Offering. The Company’s board of directors and management may consider such advice, but will also base their decisions on the advice of legal, tax and other business advisors and other factors which they consider appropriate. Accordingly, as an independent contractor, the Placement Agents will not assume the responsibilities of a fiduciary to the Company or its stockholders in connection with the performance of the services. Any advice provided may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to without prior written consent of the providing party. The Placement Agents do not provide accounting, tax or legal advice. The Company is a sophisticated business enterprise that has retained the Placement Agents for the limited purposes set forth in this Agreement.

In the ordinary course of business, the Placement Agents and their affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for their own account or the accounts of customers, in the Company’s debt or equity securities, its affiliates or other entities that may be involved in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Placement Agents and their affiliates may from time to time perform various investment banking and financial advisory services for other clients and customers who may have conflicting interests with respect to the Company or the Offering. The Company also acknowledges that the Placement Agents and their affiliates have no obligation to use in connection with this engagement or to furnish the Company, confidential information obtained from other companies. Furthermore, the Company acknowledges the Placement Agents may have fiduciary or other relationships whereby their or their affiliates may exercise voting power over securities of various persons, which securities may from time to time include securities of the Company or others with interests in respect of any Offering. The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agents or such affiliates may exercise such powers and otherwise perform our functions in connection with such fiduciary or other relationships without regard to the Placement Agents’ relationship to the Company hereunder.

20.          Research Matters. By entering into this Agreement or serving as a placement agent in the Offering, the Placement Agents do not provide any promise, either explicitly or implicitly, of favorable or continued research coverage of the Company and the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents’ selection as a placement agent for the Offering was in no way conditioned, explicitly or implicitly, on the Placement Agents providing favorable or any research coverage of the Company. In accordance with FINRA Rule 2711(e), the parties acknowledge and agree that the Placement Agents have not directly or indirectly offered favorable research, a specific rating or a specific price target, or threatened to change research, a rating or a price target, to the Company or inducement for the receipt of business or compensation.

21.          Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Placement Agents and of the Company (including any party that acquires the Company or all or substantially all of its assets or merges with the Company). Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person or corporation, other than the parties hereto and parties expressly referred to herein, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect to this Agreement or any provision hereof. The term “successors” shall not include any purchaser of the Securities merely by reason of such purchase. No subrogee of a benefited party shall be entitled to any benefits hereunder. Each party hereto disclaims any an intention to impose any fiduciary obligation on any other party by virtue of the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement.

22.          Future Services. In the event the Company determines to undertake any public offering, any private offering of securities or any merger, acquisition or sale transaction, whether on its own behalf or on behalf of its security holders, at any time within the Offering Period or within two years thereafter, the Company will offer Northland the right to serve as sole bookrunner (in the case of a public offering), as placement agent (in the case of a private or registered direct offering) or as financial advisor (in the case of a merger, acquisition or sale transaction). At the Company’s request, Northland shall agree to act as a co-agent with another agent for the aforementioned public offering, private offering, or merger, acquisition or sale transaction, provided that (a) Northland shall remain the sole bookrunner in the case of a public offering; and (b) Northland shall be entitled to (i) no less than 50% of the total allocation of the securities to the agents or underwriters and (ii) no less than its pro rata portion of the discounts, commissions or fees to the agents or underwriters, based on the percentage of the total offering that Northland actually places or underwrites. If Northland agrees to act in such capacity, the Company and Northland will enter into an appropriate form of separate agreement containing customary terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon. This Agreement is neither an expressed nor implied commitment by Northland to act in any capacity in any such transaction or to purchase any securities in connection therewith, which commitment will only be set forth in a separate agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the right provided by this Section have a duration of more than three years from the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the Offering.
