Amount: $500,000.00Date of Note: February 15, 2013

 

PROMISE TO PAY. PROUROCARE
MEDICAL. INC ("Borrower”) promises to pay to Crown Bank ("Lender”), or order. in lawful money of the United
States of America, the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($500.000.00) together with interest
on the unpaid principal balance from February 15. 2013, until paid in full.

 

PAYMENT. Borrower will
pay this loan in full immediately upon Lender's demand. If no demand is made, subject to any payment changes resulting from changes
in the Index. Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule:

 

11 INTEREST
ONLY PAYMENTS BEGINNING MARCH 15. 2013 AND CONTINUING AT MONTHLY TIME INTERVALS THEREAFTER. A PRINCIPAL PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF
$50.000.00 IS DUE AND PAYABLE JANUARY 15. 2014. A FINAL PAYMENT OF ANY UNPAID PRINCIPAL PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST IS DUE AND PAYABLE
FEBRUARY 15, 2014.

 

Unless otherwise agreed
or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late
charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place
as Lender may designate in writing.

 

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.
The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is Lender's Prime Rate
(the "Index"'). This is the rate Lender charges, or would charge, on 90-day unsecured loans to the most creditworthy
corporate customers. This rate may or may not be the lowest rate available from Lender at any given time. Lender will tell Borrower
the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands
that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 3.250% per annum. Interest on the unpaid
principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using a
rate of 1.000 percentage point over the Index, rounded up to the nearest 0.001 percent, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and
maximum rate limitations described below, resulting in an initial rate of 6.000% per annum based on a year of 360 days. NOTICE:
Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 6.000% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed
by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A)
increase Borrower's payments to ensure Borrower's loan will payoff by its original final maturity date. (B) increase Borrower's
payments to cover accruing interest. (C) increase the number of Borrower's payments, and (D) continue Borrower's payments at the
same amount and increase Borrower's final payment.

 

INTEREST CALCULATION
METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a
year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance
is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method. This calculation method results in a higher
effective interest rate than the numeric interest rate stated in this Note.

 

PREPAYMENT.  Borrower
may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by
Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early
payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send
Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment,
Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further
amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument
that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions
or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Crown Bank, Edina Office. 6600 France
Avenue South Suite 125 Edina. MN 55435.

 

LATE CHARGE. If
a payment is 11 days or more late. Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.

 

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.
Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding an additional
2.000 percentage point margin ("Default Rate Margin"). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest
rate change that would have applied had there been no default. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest
rate limitations under applicable law.

 

DEFAULT. Each of
the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note:

 

Payment Default.
Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

 

Other Defaults.

False Statements.
Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the
related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false
or misleading at any time thereafter.

The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Borrower's property. any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement
of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the
loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event

		(o)	PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The financial statements filed with the Commission as

appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, other

or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company MAE. The Company has not received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit which, individually or in the aggregate,

    	9

    	 

    

 

		(e)	DISCLOSURE. The information under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus
insofar as it relates to the Dealer Manager, and all other information furnished to the Company by the Dealer Manager in writing
specifically for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

		3.	OFFERING AND SALE OF THE SHARES. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement, the Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its agent and exclusive distributor to solicit and to retain
the Soliciting Dealers (as defined in Section 3(a)) to solicit subscriptions for the Shares at the subscription price to
be paid in cash. The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and exclusive distributorship and agrees to use its reasonable best
efforts to sell or cause to be sold the Shares in such quantities and to such Persons in accordance with such terms as are set
forth in this Agreement, the Prospectus and the Registration Statement. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to
Section 10, the Dealer Manager shall use such reasonable best efforts during the Offering Period (as defined below).

 

As used in this Agreement, “Offering
Period” means the period commencing on the initial Effective Date and ending on the earliest to occur of the following:
(1) the acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for 150,000,000 Shares; (2) the termination of the Offering by the Company,
which the Company shall have the right to terminate in its sole and absolute discretion at any time, provided that if the Company
or an affiliate commences a public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement or another registration statement filed pursuant
to the Securities Act within nine months from the date of the termination of the Offering, the Dealer Manager’s exclusive
retention pursuant to this Agreement (and the Offering Period (as defined herein)) shall be reinstated; (3) the termination or
expiration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, provided that if the Company or an affiliate commences a public
offering pursuant to the Registration Statement or another registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act within nine

exclusive retention pursuant to this Agreement and the Offering Period shall be reinstated; and (4) the liquidation or dissolution
of the Company.

 

The number of Shares, if any, to be reserved
for sale by each Soliciting Dealer may be determined, from time to time, by the Dealer Manager upon prior consultation with the
Company. In the absence of such determination, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b), accept Subscription
Agreements based upon a first-come, first accepted reservation or other similar method. Under no circumstances will the Dealer

Manager shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as an underwriter or principal.

		(a)	SOLICITING DEALERS. The Shares offered and sold through the Dealer Manager under this Agreement
shall be offered and sold only by the Dealer Manager and other securities dealers the Dealer Manager may retain (collectively the
“Soliciting Dealers”); provided, however, that (i) the Dealer Manager reasonably believes that
all Soliciting Dealers are registered with the Commission, members of FINRA and are duly licensed or registered by the regulatory
authorities in the jurisdictions in which they will offer and sell Shares or exempt from broker dealer registration with the Commission
and all other applicable regulatory authorities, (ii) all such engagements are evidenced by written agreements, the terms and conditions
of which substantially conform to the form of Soliciting Dealers Agreement approved by the Company and the Dealer Manager (the
“Soliciting Dealers Agreement”), and (iii) the Company shall have previously approved each Soliciting
Dealer (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

		(b)	SUBSCRIPTION DOCUMENTS. Each Person desiring to purchase Shares through the Dealer Manager, or
any other Soliciting Dealer, will be required to complete and execute the subscription documents described in the Prospectus.
	 	 	 

Until the minimum offering of $2,500,000
in Shares has been sold, payments for Shares shall be made by checks payable to “WELLS FARGO BANK, NA, ESCROW AGENT FOR BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA” During such time, the Selected Dealer shall forward original checks together with an
original Subscription Agreement, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Subscription Agreement, to the
Escrow Agent at the address provided in the Subscription Agreement.

 

When a Soliciting Dealer’s
internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Subscription Agreement and check were initially received
by the Soliciting Dealer from the subscriber, the Soliciting Dealer shall transmit the Subscription Agreement and check to the
Escrow Agent by the end of the next business day following receipt of the check and Subscription Agreement. When, pursuant to Soliciting
Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, the Soliciting Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted
at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the Soliciting Dealer shall transmit the check and Subscription
Agreement to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following the Soliciting Dealer’s receipt of the
Subscription Agreement and check. The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the
Subscription Agreement and check, forward both the Subscription Agreement and check to the Escrow Agent. If any Subscription Agreement
solicited by the Soliciting Dealer is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the Subscription Agreement and check
will be returned to the rejected subscriber within ten (10) business days from the date of rejection.

		(c)	COMPLETED SALE. A sale of a Share shall be deemed by the Company to be completed for purposes of

and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement as determined by the Soliciting Dealer, or the Dealer
Manager, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Company has accepted such subscription, and
(iii) such investor has been admitted as a shareholder of the Company. In addition, no sale of Shares shall be completed until
at least five (5) business days after the date on which the subscriber receives a copy of the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept or reject any subscription, in whole
or in part, for any reason whatsoever or no reason, and no commission or dealer manager fee will be paid to the Dealer Manager
with respect to that portion of any subscription which is rejected.

 

		(d)	DEALER-MANAGER COMPENSATION.

 

		(i)	Subject to the volume discounts and other special circumstances described in or otherwise provided
in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus or this Section 3(d), the Company agrees to pay the
Dealer Manager selling commissions in the amount of seven percent (7%) of the selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed
from the Shares offered in the Offering. Alternatively, if the Soliciting Dealer elects to receive selling commissions equal to
seven and one-half percent (7.5%) in accordance with the Soliciting Dealers Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Dealer Manager
selling commissions in the amount of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed
from the Shares offered in the Primary Offering, two and one-half percent (2.5%) of which selling commissions shall be payable
at the time of such sale and one percent (1%) of which shall be paid on each anniversary of the closing of such sale up to and
including the fifth anniversary of the closing of such sale. The Company will pay reduced
selling commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain sales of Shares, including the reduction or elimination of selling
commissions in accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager will reallow all the selling
commissions, subject to federal and state securities laws, to the Soliciting Dealer who sold the Shares, as described more fully
in the Soliciting Dealers Agreement. In no event shall the Dealer Manager be entitled to payment of any compensation in connection
with the Offering that is not completed according to this Agreement; provided, however, that the reimbursement of out-of-pocket
accountable expenses actually incurred by the Dealer Manager or person associated with the Dealer Manager shall not be presumed
to be unfair or unreasonable and shall be payable under normal circumstances.

		(ii)	Subject to the special circumstances described in or otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution”
section of the Prospectus or this Section 3(d), as compensation for acting as the dealer manager, the Company will pay the
Dealer Manager, a dealer manager fee in the amount of three percent (3%) of the selling price of each Share for which a sale is
completed from the Shares offered in the Offering (the “Dealer Manager Fee”). The Dealer Manager may
retain or re-allow all or a portion of the Dealer Manager Fee, subject to federal and state securities laws, to the Soliciting
Dealer who sold the Shares, as described more fully in the Soliciting Dealers Agreement.

 

		(iii)	All sales commissions payable to the Dealer Manager will be paid as dictated by industry practice
after the investor subscribing for the Shares is admitted as a shareholder of the Company, in an amount equal to the sales commissions
payable with respect to such Shares.

 

		(iv)	In no event shall the total aggregate underwriting compensation payable to the Dealer Manager and
any Soliciting Dealers participating in the Offering, including, but not limited to, selling commissions and the Dealer Manager
Fee exceed ten percent (10.0%) of gross offering proceeds from the Offering in the aggregate.
	 	 	 

In connection with the minimum
amount offered by the Company pursuant to the Prospectus and FINRA’s 10% underwriting compensation limitation under FINRA
Rule 2310 (“FINRA’s 10% cap”), the Dealer Manager shall advance all of the fixed expenses, including,
but not limited to, wholesaling salaries, salaries of dual employees allocated to wholesaling activities, and other fixed expenses,
(including, but not limited to, wholesaling expense reimbursements and the Dealer Manager’s legal expenses associated with
filing the Offering with FINRA), that are required to be included within FINRA’s 10% cap to ensure that the aggregate underwriting
compensation paid in connection with the Offering does not exceed FINRA’s 10% cap.

 

The Dealer Manager shall repay
to the Company any excess amounts received over FINRA’s 10% cap if the Offering is abruptly terminated after receiving the
minimum amount offered by the Company pursuant to the Prospectus and before reaching the maximum amount of offered by the Company
pursuant to the Prospectus.

 

		(v)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company pays any selling commission
to the Dealer Manager for sale by a Soliciting Dealer of one or more Shares and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more
of the Shares covered by such subscription, then the Company shall decrease the next payment of selling commissions or other compensation
otherwise payable to the Dealer Manager by the Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the commission rate established
in this Section 3(d), multiplied by the number of Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. If no payment of selling
commissions or other compensation is due to the Dealer Manager after such withdrawal occurs, then the Dealer Manager shall pay
the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days
following receipt of notice by the Dealer Manager from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.

retained by the Dealer Manager and not re-allowed until the full amount of such advances is offset. Such advances are not intended
to be in addition to the compensation set forth in Section 3(d) and any and all monies advanced that are not utilized for
out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred by the Dealer Manager in connection with the Offering (other than reasonable
bona fide due diligence expenses) shall be reimbursed by the Dealer Manager to the Company.

to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. If either party uses or discloses nonpublic personal information
of any customer for purposes other than servicing the customer, or as otherwise required by applicable law, that party will 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.

 

		(p)	DEALER MANAGER’S REVIEW OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS. Prior to amending or supplementing
the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement through incorporation
of any report filed under the Exchange Act), the Company shall furnish to the Dealer Manager for review, a reasonable amount of
time prior to the proposed time of filing or use thereof, a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement, and the Company
shall not file or use any such proposed amendment or supplement without the Dealer Manager’s consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

		(q)	CERTAIN PAYMENTS. Without the prior consent of the Dealer Manager, none of the Company, the Advisor
or any of their respective affiliates will make any payment (cash or non-cash) to any associated Person or registered representative
of the Dealer Manager.

 

		(r)	DEPOSIT ACCOUNT. Once subscription funds from Persons unaffiliated with the Company or the Advisor
in the Escrow Account aggregate $2,500,000 in respect of Shares of the Company (the “Escrow Break Date”),
subject to any continuing escrow obligations imposed by certain states as described in the Prospectus, the Company will deposit
all subsequent subscription funds in the Deposit Account. At all times until the Termination Date, the Deposit Account shall be
subject to the Control Agreement that will provide, among other things, that no funds shall be able to be withdrawn from the Deposit
Account once the Dealer Manager provides notice to the Company and the Escrow Agent that a condition set forth in Section 4
has not been satisfied or waived by the Dealer Manager. Such restriction on withdrawal shall continue until the Dealer Manager
notifies the Company and the Escrow Agent that funds in the Deposit Account can be released upon order of the Company.

 

		(s)	REGULATORY FILINGS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall provide
the Dealer Manager for its prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) with a copy of any notice, filing, application, registration,
document, correspondence or other information that the Company proposes to deliver, make or file with any governmental authority
or agency (federal, state or otherwise) or with FINRA in connection with the Offering, this Agreement or any of the transactions
completed hereby.

 

		6.	COVENANTS OF THE DEALER MANAGER. The Dealer Manager covenants and agrees with the Company
as follows:

 

		(a)	COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; PROSPECTUS DELIVERY. With respect to the Dealer Manager’s participation
and the participation by each Soliciting Dealer in the offer and sale of the Shares (including, without limitation, any resales
and transfers of Shares), the Dealer Manager agrees, and each Soliciting Dealer in its Soliciting Dealer Agreement will agree,
to comply in all material with all applicable requirements of (i) the Securities Act, the Securities Act Rules and Regulations,
the Exchange Act, the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations and all other federal regulations applicable to the Offering, the sale
of Shares and with, (ii) all applicable state securities or blue sky laws and regulations in effect from time to time, and (iii)
the Rules of the FINRA applicable to the Offering, from time to time in effect, specifically including, but not in any way limited
to, Conduct Rules 2340, 2420, 2730, 2740 and 2750 and FINRA Rule 2310 therein. The Dealer Manager will not offer the Shares for
sale in any jurisdiction unless and until it has been advised that the Shares are either registered in accordance with, or exempt
from, the securities and other laws applicable thereto.

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

In addition, the Dealer Manager
shall, in accordance with applicable law or as prescribed by any state securities administrator, provide, or require in the Soliciting
Dealer Agreement that the Soliciting Dealer shall provide, to any prospective investor copies of the Prospectus and any supplements
thereto during the course of the Offering and prior to the sale. The Company may provide the Dealer Manager with certain Approved
Sales Literature to be used by the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers in connection with the solicitation of purchasers
of the Shares. The Dealer Manager agrees not to deliver the Approved Sales Literature to any Person prior to the initial Effective
Date. If the Dealer Manager elects to use such Approved Sales Literature after the initial Effective Date, then the Dealer Manager
agrees that such material shall not be used by it in connection with the solicitation of purchasers of the Shares and that it will
direct Soliciting Dealers not to make such use unless accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus, as then currently in effect, and
as it may be amended or supplemented in the future. The Dealer Manager agrees that it will not use any Approved Sales Literature
other than those provided to the Dealer Manager by the Company for use in the Offering. The use of any other sales material is
expressly prohibited.

 

		(b)	NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. In offering the Shares for sale, the Dealer Manager shall not, and each
Soliciting Dealer shall agree not to, give or provide any information or make any representation other than those contained in
the Prospectus or the Approved Sales Literature. The Dealer Manager will not (i) 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 (ii) show or give to any investor or prospective investor in a particular jurisdiction 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.

 

		(c)	SALES OF SHARES. The Dealer Manager shall, and each Soliciting Dealer shall agree to, solicit purchases
of the Shares only in the jurisdictions in which the Dealer Manager and such Soliciting Dealer are legally qualified to so act
and in which the Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer have been advised by the Company in writing that such solicitations
can be made.

 

		(d)	SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. The Dealer Manager will comply in all material respects with the subscription
procedures and “Plan of Distribution” set forth in the Prospectus. Subscriptions will be submitted by the Dealer Manager
and each Soliciting Dealer to the Company only on the form which is included as Exhibit B to the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager
understands and acknowledges, and each Soliciting Dealer shall acknowledge, that the Subscription Agreement must be executed and
initialed by the subscriber as provided for by the Subscription Agreement.

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

		(e)	SUITABILITY. The Dealer Manager will offer Shares, and in its agreement with each Soliciting Dealer
will require that the Soliciting Dealer offer Shares, only to Persons that it has reasonable grounds to believe meet the financial
qualifications set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company and will only make
offers to Persons in the states in which it is advised in writing by the Company that the Shares are qualified for sale or that
such qualification is not required. In offering Shares, the Dealer Manager will comply, and in its agreements with the Soliciting
Dealers, the Dealer Manager will require that the Soliciting Dealers comply, with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations
relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation the FINRA Conduct Rules and the provisions of Article III.C.
and III.E. of the Omnibus Guidelines of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (the “NASAA
Guidelines”). The Dealer Manager agrees that in recommending the purchase of the Shares to an investor, the Dealer
Manager and each Person associated with the Dealer Manager that make such recommendation shall have, and each Soliciting Dealer
in its Soliciting Dealer Agreement shall agree with respect to investors to which it makes a recommendation shall agree that it
shall have, reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor concerning the investor’s
investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known by the Dealer Manager,
the Person associated with the Dealer Manager or the Soliciting Dealer that: (i) the investor is or will be in a financial position
appropriate to enable the investor to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus, including the tax
benefits where they are a significant aspect of the Company; (ii) the investor has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain
the risks inherent in the program, including loss of investment and lack of liquidity; and (iii) an investment in the Shares offered
in the Offering is otherwise suitable for the investor. The Dealer Manager agrees as to investors to whom it makes a recommendation
with respect to the purchase of the Shares in the Offering (and each Soliciting Dealer in its Soliciting Dealer Agreement shall
agree, with respect to Investors to whom it makes such recommendations) to maintain in the files of the Dealer Manager (or the
Soliciting Dealer, as applicable) documents disclosing the basis upon which the determination of suitability was reached as to
each investor. In making the determinations as to financial qualifications and as to suitability required by the NASAA Guidelines,
the Dealer Manager and Soliciting Dealers may rely on (A) representations from investment advisers who are not affiliated with
a Soliciting Dealer, banks acting as trustees or fiduciaries, and (B) information it has obtained from a prospective investor,
including such information as the investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs of the Person or any
other information known by the Dealer Manager (or Soliciting Dealer, as applicable), after due inquiry. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Dealer Manager shall not, and each Soliciting Dealer shall agree not to, execute any transaction in the Company in a discretionary
account without prior written approval of the transaction by the customer.

 

    	22

    	 

    

 

		(f)	SUITABILITY RECORDS. The Dealer Manager shall, and each Soliciting Dealer shall agree to, maintain,
for at least six years or for a period of time not less than that required in order to comply with all applicable federal, state
and other regulatory requirements, whichever is later, a record of the information obtained to determine that an investor meets
the suitability standards imposed on the offer and sale of the Shares (both at the time of the initial subscription and at the
time of any additional subscriptions) and a representation of the investor that the investor is investing for the investor’s
own account or, in lieu of such representation, information indicating that the investor for whose account the investment was made
met the suitability standards. The Company agrees that the Dealer Manager can satisfy its obligation by contractually requiring
such information to be maintained by the investment advisers or banks referred to in Section 6(e).

 

		(g)	SOLICITING DEALER AGREEMENTS. All engagements of the Soliciting Dealers will be evidenced by a
Soliciting Dealer Agreement.

 

		(h)	ELECTRONIC DELIVERY. If it intends to use electronic delivery to distribute the Prospectus to any
Person, it will comply, with all applicable requirements of the Commission, the Blue Sky laws and/or FINRA and any other laws or
regulations related to the electronic delivery of documents.

 

		(i)	COORDINATION. The Company and the Dealer Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to meet with key personnel of the other on an ongoing and regular basis to discuss the conduct of the officers.

 

		(j)	AML COMPLIANCE. Although acting as a wholesale distributor and not itself selling shares directly
to investors, the Dealer Manager represents to the Company that it has established and implemented anti-money laundering compliance
programs (“AML Program”) in accordance with applicable law, including applicable FINRA Conduct Rules,
Exchange Act Rules and Regulations and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act (USA PATRIOT Act) of 2001, as amended (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), specifically
including, but not limited to, Section 352 of the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of
2001 (the “Money Laundering Abatement Act”, and together with the USA PATRIOT Act, the “AML
Rules”), reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the
offering and sale of the Shares. The Dealer Manager further represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically
including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement
Act, and the Dealer Manager hereby covenants to remain in compliance with such requirements and shall, upon request by the Company,
provide a certification to the Company that, as of the date of such certification (i) its AML Program is consistent with the
AML Rules, and (ii) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer
Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act.

 

    	23

    	 

    

 

		(k)	COOPERATION. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Dealer Manager will
use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company and any other party that may be necessary to accomplish an orderly transfer
and transfer to a successor dealer manager of the operation and management of the services the Dealer Manager is providing to the
Company under this Agreement, provided that the Company shall not be in breach or default of this Agreement. The Dealer Manager
will not be entitled to receive any additional fee in connection with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(k), but
the Company will pay or reimburse the Dealer Manager for any out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Dealer Manager in
connection therewith.

 

		(l)	CUSTOMER INFORMATION. The Dealer Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the
Company with any and all subscriber information that the Company requests in order for the Company to comply with the requirements
under Section 5(m).

 

		7.	EXPENSES.

 

		(a)	Subject to Sections 7(b) and 7(c), the Dealer Manager shall pay all its own costs
and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

		(b)	The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses related to:

 

		(i)	the registration of the offer and sale of the Shares with the Commission;

 

		(ii)	expenses of printing the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto as herein provided;

 

		(iii)	fees and expenses incurred in connection with any required filing with the FINRA;

 

		(iv)	all the expenses of agents of the Company, excluding the Dealer Manager, incurred in connection
with performing marketing and advertising services for the Company; and

 

		(v)	expenses of qualifying the Shares for offering and sale under state blue sky and securities laws,
and expenses in connection with the preparation and printing of the Blue Sky Survey.

 

		(c)	The Company shall reimburse the Dealer Manager and Soliciting Dealers for approved or deemed approved
reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses in accordance with Section 3(e).

 

		8.	INDEMNIFICATION.

 

		(a)	INDEMNIFIED PARTIES DEFINED. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Indemnified Party”
shall mean a Person entitled to indemnification under Section 8, as well as such Person’s officers, directors (including
with respect to the Company, any Person named in the Registration Statement with his consent as about to become a director), employees,
members, partners, affiliates, agents and representatives, and each Person, if any, who controls such Person within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

 

    	24

    	 

    

 

		(b)	INDEMNIFICATION OF THE DEALER MANAGER AND SOLICITING DEALERS. The Company will indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers, and their respective Indemnified Parties, from and against any
losses, claims, expenses (including reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in investigating and defending such claims or
liabilities), damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any such Soliciting Dealers or the Dealer Manager, or their respective
Indemnified Parties, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) in whole or in part, any material
inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by the Company or the Advisor, any material breach of a covenant contained
herein by the Company or the Advisor, or any material failure by the Company or the Advisor to perform, its obligations hereunder
or to comply with state or federal securities laws applicable to the Offering; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained (A) in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (B) in any Approved Sales Literature or (C) in any blue sky application or other
document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Shares for sale
under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon written information furnished by the Company under the securities laws
thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”);
or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereof to make the statements therein not misleading or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required
to be stated in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the prospectus to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company will reimburse each Soliciting Dealer or the Dealer Manager,
and their respective Indemnified Parties, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Soliciting Dealer or the
Dealer Manager, and their respective Indemnified Parties, in connection with investigating or defending such loss, claim, expense,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such loss, claim, expense, damage or liability 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 to the Company by the
Dealer Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the Prospectus or any
such amendment thereof or supplement thereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have.

 

    	25

    	 

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
as required by the Company’s charter and Section II.G. of the NASAA Guidelines, the indemnification and agreement to hold
harmless provided in this Section 8(b) is further limited to the extent that no such indemnification by the Company of a
Soliciting Dealer or the Dealer Manager, or their respective Indemnified Parties, shall be permitted under this Agreement for,
or arising out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are
met: (a) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to
the particular Indemnified Party; (b) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction
as to the particular Indemnified Party; or (c) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the
particular Indemnified Party and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court
considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Commission and of the published position of
any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of
securities laws.

 

		(c)	DEALER MANAGER INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY AND ADVISOR. The Dealer Manager will indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Company, the Advisor, each of their Indemnified Parties and each Person who has signed the Registration Statement,
from and against any losses, claims, expenses (including the reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in investigating and
defending any such claims or liabilities), damages or liabilities to which any of the aforesaid parties may become subject under
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon: (i) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein
by the Dealer Manager or any material breach of a covenant contained herein by the Dealer Manager; (ii) any untrue statement or
any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (B) in any Approved Sales Literature, or (C) any Blue Sky
Application; or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereof to make the statements therein not misleading, or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact required to be stated in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that in each case
described in clauses (ii) and (iii) 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 the Dealer Manager expressly for use in the Registration
Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereof or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto;
or (iv) any use of sales literature, including “broker-dealer use only” materials, by the Dealer Manager that is not
Approved Sales Literature. The Dealer Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred
in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.

 

    	26

    	 

    

 

		(d)	SOLICITING DEALER INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY. By virtue of entering into the Soliciting Dealer
Agreement, each Soliciting Dealer severally will agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager,
each of their respective Indemnified Parties, and each Person who signs the Registration Statement, from and against any losses,
claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Dealer Manager, or any of their respective Indemnified Parties,
or any Person who signed the Registration Statement, may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, as more fully described
in the Soliciting Dealer Agreement.

 

		(e)	ACTION AGAINST PARTIES; NOTIFICATION. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations
hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. 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 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, and unconditional
release of all liabilities from, 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, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

		(f)	REIMBURSEMENT OF FEES AND EXPENSES. An indemnifying party under Section 8 of this Agreement
shall be obligated to reimburse an Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows:

 

		(i)	In the case of the Company indemnifying the Dealer Manager, the advancement of Company funds to
the Dealer Manager for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being
sought shall be permissible (in accordance with Section II.G. of the NASAA Guidelines) only if all of the following conditions
are satisfied: (A) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf
of the Company; (B) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a shareholder of the Company or the legal action
is initiated by a shareholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically
approves such advancement; and (C) the Dealer Manager undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the
applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which the Dealer Manager is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

    	27

    	 

    

 

		(ii)	In any case of indemnification other than that described in Section 8(f)(i) above, the indemnifying
party shall pay all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claims or actions;
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 (in addition to local counsel) that has been participating
by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and if 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.

 

		9.	CONTRIBUTION.

 

		(a)	If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred
by such Indemnified Party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealer, respectively, from the proceeds received in the Offering pursuant to this
Agreement and the relevant Soliciting Dealer Agreement, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

 

    	28

    	 

    

 

		(b)	The relative benefits received by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealer, respectively,
in connection with the proceeds received in the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Soliciting Dealer Agreement
shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering pursuant to this Agreement
and the relevant Soliciting Dealer Agreement (before deducting expenses), received by the Company, and the total selling commissions
and dealer manager fees received by the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealer, respectively, in each case as set forth on the
cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares sold in the Offering as set forth on such cover.

 

		(c)	The relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealer, respectively,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company, by the Dealer Manager
or by the Soliciting Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

		(d)	The Company, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealer (by virtue of entering into the Soliciting
Dealer Agreement) agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions
referred to above in this Section 9. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred
by an Indemnified Party and referred to above in this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission.

 

		(e)	Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting
Dealer shall not be required to contribute any amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold in the Offering to the
public by them exceeds the amount of any damages which the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealer have otherwise been required
to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

		(f)	No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

		(g)	For the purposes of this Section 9, the Dealer Manager’s officers, directors, employees,
members, partners, agents and representatives, and each Person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Dealer Manager, and
each officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives of the Company, each officer of the Company
who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Company. The Soliciting Dealers’
respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the number of Shares sold by
each Soliciting Dealer in the Offering and not joint.

 

    	29

    	 

    

 

		10.	TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

		(a)	TERM; EXPIRATION. This Agreement shall become effective on the initial Effective Date and the obligations
of the parties hereunder shall not commence until the initial Effective Date; provided, however, that the
obligations of the parties under Sections 3(e), 3(f), 7, 8, 9 and 11 and this Section
10 shall commence on, and shall be effective as of, the date that this Agreement is executed. Unless earlier terminated pursuant
to Section 10(b) or 10(c), this Agreement shall expire at the end of the Offering Period (subject to reinstatement
of the Offering Period pursuant to the provisions of Section 3). This Agreement (i) may be earlier terminated by the Company
pursuant to Section 10(b), and (ii) may be earlier terminated by the Dealer Manager pursuant to Section 10(c).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing
and anything herein to the contrary, any reinstatement of the Offering Period pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 shall
be deemed to rescind any expiration of this Agreement. Any such reinstatement of the Offering Period shall not affect the ability
of the Company or the Dealer Manager subsequently to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(b) or 10(c),
respectively.

 

The date upon which this Agreement
shall have expired or been terminated earlier shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Termination Date”.

 

		(b)	TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT BY THE COMPANY. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without
the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days prior written notice, by the Company upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

		(i)	The Dealer Manager or any of its affiliates materially breaches this Agreement; provided,
however, that the party in breach of this Agreement shall have thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of notice of such breach
from the non-breaching party to cure such breach;

 

		(ii)	Any fraud, criminal conduct or willful misconduct by the Dealer Manager in any action or failure
to act undertaken by such party pertaining to or having a detrimental effect upon the Dealer Manager’s ability to perform
its duties provided that Dealer Manager does not cure any such act thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of notice of such
act (or at such later time as stated in the notice) from the Company;

 

		(iii)	The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court of competent jurisdiction in respect of the
Dealer Manager in any involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,

terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.
This Agreement may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement in writing.

 

		(k)	NONWAIVER. The failure of any party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by any other party
of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment
to any extent of such party’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance; rather,
such provision or right shall be and remain in full force and effect.

information to the Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer regarding recordholder information about the clients of such Soliciting
Dealer who have invested with the Company on an on-going basis for so long as such Soliciting Dealer has a relationship with such
clients. The Dealer Manager shall require in the Soliciting Dealer Agreement that Soliciting Dealers not disclose any password
for a restricted website or portion of website provided to such Soliciting Dealer in connection with the Offering and not disclose

each other in good faith in connection with the promotion or advertisement of their relationship in any release, communication,
sales literature or other such materials and shall not promote or advertise their relationship without the approval of the other
party in advance, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
