The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Consultant has no authority to enter into contracts that bind the Company or create obligations on the part of the Company, including, but not limited to, committing Company capital, directing Company personnel, executing securities transactions on behalf of the Company or otherwise exercising discretionary authority over the Company’s asset. No recommendation, analysis, report, valuation, investment thesis, platform opportunity, market commentary, due diligence report or other communication provided by the Consultant shall be deemed binding upon the Company or the Board, nor shall the submission of any recommendation create any presumption that the Board will approve, implement or otherwise act upon such recommendation.

8. Covenant to Protect Confidential Information. The Consultant acknowledges that prior to the date hereof, it and its representatives has had access to, and during the course of its relationship with the Company it will have access to, significant Confidential Information.

(a) During the Term, the Consultant covenants and agrees (i) to maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person, except as necessary in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever except in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations to the Company and (iii) not to disclose or use at any time, either during the Term or thereafter, any Confidential Information of which the Consultant is or becomes aware, whether or not such information was developed by the Consultant.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Consultant shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(a) with respect to any of the following activities by the Consultant:

(i) The Consultant’s disclosure or use of Confidential Information, if such Confidential Information is now or hereafter becomes generally known or available to the public other than as the result of a breach of this Section 8 by the Consultant;

(ii) The Consultant’s disclosure or use of Confidential Information, if such Confidential Information is received after the date of this Agreement from a third party that is not under an obligation of confidentiality to the Company; or

(iii) The Consultant’s disclosure of Confidential Information, if such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by law, court order, or similar compulsion or in connection with any legal proceeding, provided that such disclosure shall be limited to the extent so required and, to the extent reasonably practicable and except to the extent prohibited by law, the Consultant shall give the Company notice of its intent to so disclose such Confidential Information and shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in seeking suitable confidentiality protections.

9. Representations and Warranties. The Consultant hereby represent and warrant to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Consultant does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which it is subject, (ii) the Consultant is not a party to or bound by any non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, no-hire agreement, confidentiality agreement or similar agreement with any other Person that contains any restrictions or limitations on its ability to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, (iii) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of the Consultant; (iv) the Consultant’s performance of the Services under this Agreement will not violate securities laws or other applicable law or professional regulations, and (v) the Consultant is not a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated either (a) as provided in Section 3, or (b) for Cause. As used in this Agreement, “Cause” means the Consultant or representatives of the Consultant are engaging in activities or conduct injurious to the reputation of the Company or its affiliates (or the Consultant or its affiliates) including, without limitation engaging in disparagement, defamatory statements, immoral acts or property crimes which become public knowledge or commission by Consultant or a Consultant representative of an act which constitutes a misdemeanor or a felony.

11. Enforcement.

(a) The Company and the Consultant shall each have and retain all rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or equity, including, without limitation, all actions for specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Because the relationship between the Company and the Consultant is unique and because the Consultant has had access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Consultant of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies it may have, (a) to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of this Agreement (without posting a bond or other security); and (b) to apply for an order requiring the Consultant to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, moneys, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received as a direct result of any transactions constituting a breach of the covenants contained herein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from or limiting the Company in pursuing any other remedies available for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in any litigation arising out of this Agreement, the court shall assess legal fees and expenses throughout all trial and appellate levels against the unsuccessful party and in favor of the successful party, such assessment to be in whole or part as the court evaluates such success in the matter.

12. Indemnification.

(a) The Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any and all liabilities incurred, arising out of any breach by the Consultant of this Agreement, or by any acts or omissions of the Consultant, provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply to any liabilities resulting solely from the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Consultant, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any and all liabilities incurred, arising out of any breach by the Company of this Agreement, or by any acts or omissions of the Company, provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply to any liabilities resulting solely from the Consultant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) The indemnification obligations under this Section 12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Each party shall notify the other party promptly after becoming aware of any claim or liability or other matter for which indemnity may be sought. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

13. Conflicts of Interest. The Consultant acknowledges that it owns and operates the XChange Place Platform and may provide services to other issuers, investment vehicles, sponsors, funds and operating companies. Accordingly, conflicts of interest may arise from time to time. The Consultant shall be required to report any transaction involving the Consultant and the XChange Place Platform, or any affiliate thereof, to the Board. Such transaction must be approved by the majority of the disinterested members of the Board prior to consummation.

14. Non-Exclusive Engagement. It is understood that the Company may engage other consultants, advisers, and third parties from time to time, as deemed advisable by the Board. It is also understood that the Consultant may provide services to other issuers, investment vehicles, sponsors, funds and operating companies, including entities whose activities may compete with those of the Company. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the parties to engage on an exclusive basis during the Term.

15. General Provisions.

(a) Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if at the time of enforcement of this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope and geographical area that are reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope and area, respectively.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the agreements between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Consultant, the Company and their respective successors, assigns, representatives, heirs and estates; provided, that the rights and obligations of the Consultant under this Agreement shall not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company.

(d) Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement, and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(e) Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the Consultant, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(f) Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Company and the Consultant, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns, personal representatives, heirs and estates, as the case may be. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement be relied upon by the Company and be enforced by each such Person against the Consultant as if such Person is a party hereto.

(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

(h) Business Days. If any time period for giving notice or taking action hereunder expires on a day which is not a Business Day, the time period for taking action shall be automatically extended to the next Business Day.

16. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of five (5) years following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
