NUMBER OF UNITS PURCHASED. You must purchase at least 4 units. Your ownership interest may not exceed 20% of all our outstanding membership units. We presently have units outstanding.

D.	ESCROW PROCEDURES. Proceeds from subscriptions for the units will be deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account that we have established with Fifth Third Bank, as escrow agent under a written

escrow agreement. When (1) the proceeds deposited in the escrow account equal at least $10,000,000 in subscription proceeds (exclusive of interest) and (2) we have received written debt financing commitments providing for sufficient debt financing which, combined with the subscribed for offering proceeds and funds we raised in previous private placement offerings, are equal to at least our then estimated total ethanol plant project cost, we will mail written notice to all subscribers that the payment of the remainder of the purchase price is due to be paid to the escrow agent within 15 days. The escrow agent will not release funds from the escrow account to Liberty until (1) the total subscription proceeds for fully-paid units deposited in the escrow account equals or exceeds $50,000,000 (exclusive of interest) and (2) the escrow agent receives a copy of Liberty’s written debt financing commitments. When these conditions are met (the “Escrow Release Date”), the escrow account will close and all proceeds will be distributed to Liberty.
