Promptly following the Threshold Date, and in any event no later than the next business day after the Threshold Date, you shall return directly to each Subscriber by your check the collected funds deposited in the Escrow Account and the PA Escrow Account on behalf of such Subscriber (unless previously disbursed in accordance with Section 3(c) or 3(d) below), or shall return the checks delivered to you if such checks have not been processed for collection prior to such time, together with interest in the amounts instructed by the Dealer Manager pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) for each subscriber at the address given to you by the Dealer Manager. In the event a Form W-9 pertaining to any Subscriber has not been received by you from the Dealer Manager, you shall remit an amount to such Subscriber in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding twenty-eight percent (28%) of any interest income on subscription proceeds attributable to such Subscriber. However, you shall not be required to remit such payments until you have collected funds represented by such payments.

(c)(i) Notwithstanding Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above, if you are not in receipt of evidence of Qualifying Subscriptions received on or before the close of business on such date that is 120 days after the date the Company first receives a Qualifying Subscription from a PA Subscriber (such period, the “Initial Escrow Period”), and checks dated not later than that date, representing aggregate gross proceeds that equal or exceed the PA Required Capital, you shall promptly so notify the Company and the Dealer Manager. Within one business day thereafter, the Dealer Manager shall transmit to you (i) instructions for allocating among the PA Subscribers interest income earned on the subscription proceeds in the PA Escrow Account, which amounts shall be calculated by the Dealer Manager in accordance with Section 8, and (ii) a Form W-9 for each PA Subscriber. The Company shall send to each PA Subscriber by certified mail within 10 calendar days after the end of the Initial Escrow Period a notification in the form of Exhibit A. If, pursuant to such notification, a PA Subscriber requests the return of his or her subscription funds within 10 calendar days after receipt of the notification (the “Request Period”), you shall promptly refund directly to each PA Subscriber the funds deposited in the PA Escrow Account on behalf of such PA Subscriber or shall return the checks delivered, but not yet processed for collection prior to such time, to the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company, together with interest income in the amounts instructed by the Dealer Manager. Notwithstanding the above, if you have not received a Form W-9 for such PA Subscriber from the Dealer Manager, you shall thereupon remit an amount to such PA Subscriber in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding twenty-eight percent (28%) of any interest income earned on subscription proceeds attributable to such PA Subscriber. However, you shall not be required to remit such payments until you have collected funds represented by such payments.

(ii) The subscription funds of PA Subscribers who do not request the return of their subscription funds within the Request Period shall remain in the PA Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (each a “Successive Escrow Period”), each commencing automatically upon the termination of the prior Successive Escrow Period, and the Company and you shall follow the notification and payment procedure set forth in Section 3(c)(i) above with respect to the Initial Escrow Period for each Successive Escrow Period until the occurrence of the earliest of (A) the Offering End Date, (B) the receipt by the Company of Qualifying Subscriptions representing aggregate gross proceeds that equal or exceed the PA Required Capital and the disbursement of the PA Escrow Account on the terms specified herein, or (C) all collected funds held in the PA Escrow Account having been returned to the PA Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(d) If the Company elects to reject any subscription for which you have already collected funds, you shall, upon the written request of the Company, promptly issue a refund check to the rejected Subscriber. If the Company rejects any subscription for which you have not yet collected funds but have submitted the Subscriber’s check for collection, you shall promptly issue a check in the amount of the Subscriber’s check to the rejected Subscriber after you have collected such funds. If you have not yet submitted a rejected Subscriber’s check for collection, you shall promptly return the Subscriber’s check directly to the Subscriber. Such rejected subscriptions shall not be considered Qualifying Subscriptions for the purpose of determining whether the Minimum Required Capital or the PA Required Capital has been raised.

(e) If, at the close of business on the Offering End Date, any funds in the Escrow Account or the PA Escrow Account have not otherwise been disbursed in accordance with this Section 3, you shall promptly refund directly to each Subscriber the funds deposited in the Escrow Account or PA Escrow Account, as applicable, on behalf of such Subscriber or shall return the checks delivered, but not yet processed for collection prior to such time, to the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company, together with interest income in the amounts instructed by the Dealer Manager. Notwithstanding the above, if you have not received a Form W-9 for such Subscriber from the Dealer Manager, you shall thereupon remit an amount to such Subscriber in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding twenty-eight percent (28%) of any interest income earned on subscription proceeds attributable to such Subscriber. However, you shall not be required to remit such payments until you have collected funds represented by such payments.
