The Placement Agents may sell the Securities through other broker-dealers who are FINRA members (collectively, the “Sub Agents”) and may reallow all or a portion of the Brokers’ Fees (as defined in Section 3(a), 3(b) and 3(d) below) it receives to such other Sub Agents or pay a finders or consultant fee as allowed by applicable law. On the basis of such representations and warranties and subject to such terms and conditions, the Placement Agents hereby accept such appointment and agree to perform the services hereunder diligently and in good faith and in a professional and businesslike manner and in compliance with applicable law and to use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Company in finding subscribers of the Securities who qualify as “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.
