In that regard, Casimir may introduce the Company to accredited investors, which may include corporations, partnerships, mutual funds, hedge funds, investment partnerships, securities firms, lending and other institutions and entities, as well as select high net worth individuals (such parties being herein collectively “Casimir Introduced Parties”). For greater certainty it is understood that the parties listed on Schedule A attached hereto shall not be included in the definition of Casimir Introduced Parties. You understand that Casimir will use reasonable efforts with respect to the marketing of the Offering and that the actual terms of the Offering will depend on market conditions, and will be subject to due diligence and negotiation between the Company and prospective investors.

The rights and obligations of either party under this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by such party without the prior written consent of the other party (except by operation of law), and any other purported assignment or delegation shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, then such determination will not affect such provision in any other respect or any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. No material provision of this agreement shall be deemed waived and no breach excused, unless such waiver or consent excusing the breach shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.














This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.




We look forward to working with you and developing a long-term relationship with the Company.


Very truly yours,CASIMIR CAPITAL LPBy:Richard Sands, CEO & President

ANNEX A




INDEMNIFICATION




The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Casimir and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons (Casimir and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable law, or otherwise, which relate to or arise in any manner out of any transaction, financing, or any other matter (collectively, the “Matters”) contemplated by the engagement letter of which this Annex A forms a part and the performance by Casimir of the services contemplated thereby, and will promptly reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) as incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable under the foregoing to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from Casimir’s bad faith or negligence.




The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its security holders or creditors related to, arising out of, or in connection with, any Matters, the engagement of Casimir pursuant to, or the performance by Casimir of the services contemplated by, the engagement letter, except to the extent any loss, claim, damage, liability if found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from Casimir’s bad faith or negligence.




If the indemnification of an Indemnified Party provided for this letter agreement is for any reason held unenforceable, although otherwise applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company agrees to contribute to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for which such indemnification is held unenforceable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and Casimir, on the other hand, of any Matter (whether or not the Matter is consummated) or (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (i) is for any reason held unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and Casimir, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company agrees that for the purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits to the Company and Casimir of any contemplated Matter (whether or not such Matter is consummated) shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value paid or received or to be paid or received by the Company as a result of or in connection with any Matter, bears to the fees paid or to be paid to Casimir under the engagement letter; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Indemnified Parties be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the aggregate fees actually paid to Casimir under the engagement letter of which this Annex A is a part.














The Company agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Casimir, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not Casimir or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of Casimir and each other Indemnified Party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.




If Casimir or any other Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company in which such party is not named as a defendant, the Company will reimburse Casimir for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel.




The provisions of this Annex A shall continue to apply and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any modification or termination of the engagement or engagement letter of which this Annex A is a part or the completion of Casimir’s services thereunder.
