Unless this Agreement is cancelled by either party pursuant to the terms hereof, the term of this Agreement shall run from the date of receipt by Advisor of the Company’s signed acceptance of this Agreement, until six (6) months thereafter, and will then automatically extend on a month-to-month basis thereafter (“Term”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor shall also be entitled to a cash fee of three (3) percent and warrants to purchase three (3) percent of the securities offered in the offering by the Company for any financing deal the Company consummates with Dominari Securities LLC, with respect to the gross proceeds of investment by investors introduced to the Company by Dominari Securities, LLC from the date hereof through Dominari Securities LLC’s ROFR period. The Company acknowledges that Dominari Securities LLC and any party introduced by Dominari Securities LLC shall be considered a Covered Party as defined by the Letter Agreement as referenced above, and, if Dominari Securities LLC acts as financial advisor to Company with respect to a transaction which is consummated as described in Section 5(a) of the Dominari Agreement (“M&A Transaction”), with a party that is introduced by Dominari Securities LLC, or by the Advisor, the Advisor will be entitled to fees that are equal to three percent (3%) of the Transaction Value.

Property shall be valued at the fair market value thereof as agreed to by the parties hereto or if the parties are unable to agree, as determined by a mutually acceptable independent appraiser, the cost of which shall be borne by the Company. Securities which are publicly traded shall be valued at the closing price of such securities as reported on a national exchange, or if not so listed or quoted, the average of the closing bid and ask prices for the last day prior to the closing date of such transaction; if the securities are not so listed or quoted, the securities shall be valued in the same manner as property described above. All debt instruments or evidences thereof and all amounts payable to shareholders pursuant to any employment agreements, consulting agreements, covenants not to compete, earn-out or contingent payment rights or other similar agreements, arrangements or understanding shall be valued at the aggregate amount payable thereunder, whether such payments are absolute or contingent, and irrespective of the period or uncertainty of payment, the rate of interest, if any, or the contingent nature thereof.
