Re:Â Equity
Placement Engagement
______
We are
pleased to confirm the arrangements under which ______, a[n] ______ [entity of
owner], (the "Company") is engaging ______, a[n] ______ [corporation/LLC/GP/LP/other]
("Advisor") as the Company's exclusive financial advisor in
connection with the sale of securities by the Company*[ and/or the Company's
affiliate, ______ ]*.
1.   Appointment
of Advisor
The Company
hereby appoints Advisor, and Advisor agrees to represent the Company, as its
exclusive financial advisor to assist the Company in arranging for the sale of
securities by the Company *[and/or the Company's affiliate, ______ ]*(the
"Securities"), to United States investors, the proceeds of which sale
are to be used to finance ______. Advisor shall have the right during the term
of this letter agreement to represent to the public that it is a financial
advisor to the Company.
2.   Advisor's
General Duties
(a)Â Advisor
shall use its best efforts to introduce the Company to underwriters which may
be interested in underwriting the sale of the Securities to United States
investors. Each underwriter for which introductions are made by Advisor
hereunder shall be a Designated Underwriter and shall be listed by Advisor on
Exhibit ______ hereto.
(b)Â To
perform its duties hereunder, Advisor may perform valuation analysis of the
Company *[ and/or the Company's affiliate]*, make presentations regarding the
Company *[ and/or the Company's affiliate ]*to underwriters, coordinate visits
of potential underwriters with the Company and assist the Company in
negotiating the underwriting arrangements for a sale of the Securities.
*[(c)Â Â Â Â Â Advisor
will deliver copies of the offering Memorandum to each prospective investor in
the
Offering
and will not offer to sell or solicit offers to purchase interests in the Fund
other than through the Memorandum or other material provided or approved by the
Company. The Offering will be made and sold in reliance upon an exemption from
the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and in compliance with all other securities laws applicable to the
Offering. Prospective investors will be limited to entitles and persons meeting
the criteria set forth in the Memorandum.
]*3.       Company
Information
In
connection with Advisor's performance of its duties hereunder, the Company
shall (1) provide Advisor, on a timely basis, all information reasonably
requested by the Advisor, and (2) make its officers and professionals available
to Advisor and the Designated Underwriters at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice.
4.   Confidential
Information
Advisor
acknowledges that, in the course of performing its duties hereunder, it may
obtain information relating to the Company which the Company has marked as
confidential ("Confidential Information"). Advisor shall hold at all
times, both during the term of this letter agreement and at all times
thereafter, such Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, and
shall not use such Confidential Information for any purpose, other than as may
be reasonably necessary for the performance of its duties pursuant to this
letter agreement, without the Company's prior written consent. Advisor shall
not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity, other than
to Advisor's employees or consultants as may be reasonably necessary for
purposes of performing its duties hereunder, without the Company's prior
written consent. The foregoing notwithstanding, the term "Confidential
Information" shall not include information which (1) becomes generally
available to the public, other than as a result of a breach hereof, (2) was
available on a non‑confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Advisor
by the Company, or (3) becomes available to Advisor on a non‑confidential
basis from a source other than the Company, provided that such source is not
bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information. The
foregoing notwithstanding, Advisor may disclose Confidential Information to the
extent required by law, including court orders, subpoenas, civil investigative
demands and interrogatories.
*[5.       Compensation
As
compensation for Advisor's efforts hereunder, the Company shall pay Advisor in
immediately available funds upon the closing of the sale of the Securities by a
Designated Underwriter ("the Closing") the portion of the gross
proceeds from the sale of the Securities as determined in accordance with
Exhibit ______ hereto.
]**[5.   Compensation
Based on Percentage of Offering Placed by Advisor
In the event
that at least 50% of the amount of capital that is committed to the Fund at the
time of formation is committed by investors whom Advisor has first contacted on
our behalf, then Advisor will be entitled to a placement fee of 2% of all
capital committed to the Fund by those investors who are admitted to the Fund
at the time of formation. In the event that less than 50% of the amount of
capital
that is committed to the Fund at the time of formation is committed by
investors whom Advisor has first contacted on our behalf, then Advisor will be
entitled to a placement fee of 2% of all capital committed to the Fund by those
investors who are admitted to the Fund at the time of formation and who were
first contacted by Advisor and shall not be entitled to
any fee with respect to capital committed to the Fund by those investors who
are admitted to the Fund at the time of formation and who were not first
contacted by Advisor.
]**[6.   Expense
Reimbursement
Regardless
of whether a Closing occurs, the Company shall reimburse Advisor periodically
for its reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses (excluding compensation
to Advisor's employees), including the fees and disbursements of Advisor's
attorneys arising from Advisor's performance hereunder*[; provided, however,
that the Company's liability for such out‑of‑pocket expenses shall
not exceed $______]*.
]**[6.   Retainer
Whether or
not the Offering is completed within the time limits of this engagement, Advisor
shall be entitled to a retainer fee of $1,000 per month from the date hereof
and through the termination of this engagement and shall bear all of its
additional expenses without any obligation for repayment by the Company.
]**[7.   Indemnification
The Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless Advisor, its members, officers, employees,
consultants and agents (collectively the "Indemnified Parties")
against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, all losses to the extent of the aggregate
amount paid in settlement of litigation, commenced or threatened, or of any
claim whatsoever, if such settlement is effected with the Company's written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and to reimburse the
Indemnified Parties for all legal and other expenses incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened or any
claim whatsoever, whether or not resulting in any liability, to which the
Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute or at common law or
otherwise, arising out of or based upon the offer and sale of the Securities or
arising out of its acting as exclusive financial advisor hereunder.
If for any
reason the foregoing indemnifications are unavailable to any of the Indemnified
Parties or are insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless, then the
Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand but
also the relative fault of the Company and such Indemnified Party, as well as
any relevant equitable considerations. These indemnification provisions shall
be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns,
heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnified Parties. These
indemnification provisions shall survive any termination of this letter
agreement.
]**[7.   Indemnification
The Company
warrants that the Memorandum will not contain, and during the course of the
Offering the Company will not make, any untrue statement of any material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading. Advisor warrants that during the
course of the Offering, it will not make any untrue statements of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to
make any statement made not misleading concerning the Offering or any matters
set forth in or contemplated by the Memorandum. Each party hereto will
indemnify and hold harmless the other party (including each of its directors,
officers, employees, partners and agents) with respect to any liability (and
actions in respect thereof) incurred by such other party by virtue of the
indemnifying party's breach of the foregoing warranties and shall reimburse
each indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such liability or action,
provided that the indemnifying party shall have the right to control the
defense of any claim giving rise to such liability and no such claim shall be
settled without the consent of the indemnifying party. The foregoing provisions
shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Offering and any
investigation with respect thereto by any party hereto. In addition, Advisor
will indemnify and hold harmless the Company (including its directors,
officers, employees, partners and agents), on the terms and conditions set
forth above, against all liability (and actions in respect thereof) arising out
of or based upon any offering of interests in the Fund by Advisor which is in
breach of any antifraud securities law or regulation applicable to the Offering
or is made in a manner which is contrary to the specifications set forth in the
Memorandum.
]*8.       Other
Engagements
The Company
acknowledges that Advisor is and will be acting as financial advisor to other
business enterprises seeking to place securities in the United States and
agrees that Advisor's provision of services to such enterprises shall not
constitute a breach hereof or of any duty owed to the Company by virtue of this
letter agreement.
9.   Term
This letter
agreement is effective upon execution by the Company as provided below and
shall continue in effect until terminated by either party.
*[10.     Termination
Unless the
Offering is sooner abandoned by the Company as provided above (which
abandonment shall terminate this engagement), this engagement shall
automatically terminate on the date that is one year from the date of this
letter unless extended by the parties in writing, and may be sooner terminated
by the Company in the following circumstances:Â Commencing on the date which
is [spelled number of months] (______) months from the date hereof and at all
times thereafter, the Company shall have the right to terminate this engagement
on [spelled number of days] (______) days written notice to Advisor if (1) the
Company has reasonable grounds to believe that Advisor is devoting less than
its best efforts to locate investors for the Fund; or (2) Advisor has not
identified new investor candidates for a period of [spelled number of days]
(______) consecutive days and has not theretofore identified investors with the
potential to invest capital in the Fund of at least $______;
or (3)
Advisor, by the conduct of its affairs with potential investors or with the
Company, has given either the Company or investors reasonable grounds to
believe that the Offering may not be successfully completed.
]**[10. Termination
Either
party may terminate this letter agreement at any time and for any reason, with
or without cause, effective upon the giving of written notice of termination to
the other party; provided, however, that Advisor shall be entitled to full
compensation as determined pursuant to Section 3 for any Closing that occurs within
one (1) year of the termination date, regardless of the reason for the
termination.
]*11.     General
Provisions
(a)Â This
letter agreement shall be governed by and under the laws of the State of ______
without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. If any provision hereof
is found invalid or unenforceable, that part shall be amended to achieve as

of this letter agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

between the parties, whether written or verbal, express or implied, relating in
any way to the subject matter hereof. Except for amendments of Exhibit ______
by Advisor as provided in Section 2 hereof, this letter agreement may not be
altered, amended, modified or otherwise changed in any way except by a written
agreement, signed by both parties.
(d)Â Any
notice or other communication pursuant hereto shall be given to a party at its

the earlier of the date of actual receipt or three (3) days after the date of

which shall become a binding agreement upon Advisor's receipt.
Advisor is
delighted to accept this engagement and looks forward to working with the
Company on this assignment.
Sincerely,
