neither the Registration Statement nor the Prospectus, nor any amendment or
supplement thereto, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading. In this connection, it is understood by the
Fund and the Manager that Rule 2810(b)(3) of the Conduct Rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. requires that you determine that all
material facts relating to the subject offering are adequately and accurately

than in the ordinary course of business, which is material to the financial
condition of the Manager or the Fund.
(f) The Units conform to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus in
all material respects.
(g) Neither the issuance nor the sale of the Units, nor the consummation of any
other of the transactions herein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the terms

the terms of any indenture, or other material agreement or instrument to which
the Manager or the Fund are, or will be, a party or are, or will be, bound, or,
to the best of the knowledge of the Manager, any order or regulation applicable

Regulations of the Commission and the Constitution, By-Laws and Rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., specifically including and
Rule 15c2-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as interpreted in NASD
Notice to Members 84-64 (which requires that during the escrow period checks be
transmitted by you to the escrow agent as soon as practicable, but in any event
by noon of the second business day following receipt by you).
(c) You will make no sale of the Units unless such sale is preceded or
accompanied by the Prospectus.
(d) You will assist the Fund in qualifying the Units for sale under the laws of
the State of California and such other jurisdictions as the Dealer Manager and
the Manager shall mutually agree.
(e) You will (i) diligently make inquiries as required by law of all prospective
investors in order to ascertain whether a purchase of Units is suitable for the
investors and (ii) inform each prospective investor of all pertinent facts
relating to the liquidity and marketability of the Units during the term of the
investment. In recommending a purchase, sale or exchange of the Units you shall:
(1) have reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained
from the participant concerning his investment objectives, other instruments,
financial situation and needs, and any other information known by you, that:
(i) the participant is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable
him to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus;
(ii) the participant has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks
inherent in the program, including loss of
4
investment and lack of liquidity; and
(iii) the program is otherwise suitable for the participant; and
(2) maintain in your files for at least six years documents disclosing the basis
upon which the determination of suitability was reached as to each participant.
(f) All Subscription Agreements shall be promptly transmitted to the Fund in
accordance with instructions set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and all
funds received by you with respect to any Subscription Agreement shall be
promptly transmitted to the Fund , provided, however, that pending sale of a
minimum of 120,000 Units, all subscription checks shall be made payable to, and
all Subscription Agreements and funds shall be promptly transmitted by you to,
such bank as may be selected to act as escrow agent for the Fund . As used
herein, the term "promptly transmitted" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule
15c2-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(g) You will maintain copies of all Subscription Agreements in your records for
the longer of the periods prescribed by either (i) Rule 17a-4 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or (ii) applicable state blue sky laws.
(h) You will execute no transaction in a discretionary account without prior
written approval of the transaction by the investor.
4. Sale of Units. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein
contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, you agree
to sell the Units on a "best efforts" basis, as agent for the Fund. You are
authorized to enlist other members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("Soliciting Dealers"), acceptable to the Fund, to sell the Units.
As compensation for these services, the Fund agrees that it will pay you a
selling commission in an amount equal to 9.5% of the offering price of the Units
sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, from which you may reallow a
dealer commission of up to 8% of such offering price. You will pay wholesaling
compensation to your personnel out of the selling commissions you will receive
hereunder. You will reimburse the Manager for overhead costs advanced by the
Manager, including salaries and other costs of persons involved in wholesaling
activities. All of such costs will be reimbursed out of wholesaling commissions
and expense reimbursements received by you from the Fund. The Fund may, in the
Manager's sole discretion, reimburse expenses and compensate you and certain
Soliciting Dealers for wholesaling activities in connection with the offering,
provided that the aggregate amount of such reimbursements and compensation, when
added to all other selling compensation paid in connection with the offering,
does not
5
exceed a total equal to 10% of the Gross Proceeds, plus an additional one-half
of 1% as provided in the following sentence. The Fund may, in the Manager's sole
discretion, reimburse the Soliciting Dealers for their bona fide and accountable
expenses for due diligence purposes, in an amount not to exceed one-half of l%
of the offering price of the Units sold pursuant to this Agreement. In addition
to the selling compensation described above, the Fund may establish a non-cash
sales incentive program as described in the Prospectus, subject to the prior
review and approval of the NASD and compliance with all applicable NASD rules
and procedures.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is understood and agreed that the
Manager has reserved the right to accept or reject any subscriptions for Units
as set forth in the Prospectus and no selling commission will be payable to you
or any of the Soliciting Dealers with respect to the tender of any Subscription
Agreement which is rejected by you or the Manager as aforesaid. Furthermore, no
subscription will be deemed binding until at least five days following delivery
of a Prospectus.
The Fund further agrees that it will pay the foregoing selling commission with
respect to the purchase price of each of the Units upon the Manager's acceptance
of the order for such Units; provided, however, that none of such commissions
will be payable or paid until release to the Fund from the escrow account in
which they are to be deposited of proceeds from subscriptions for a minimum of
120,000 Units.
It is understood and agreed that you may, in your discretion, rebate to a
purchaser of Units the selling commissions otherwise payable in connection with
any investment in Units by you, the Manager, a Soliciting Dealer or any
Affiliate or employee of any of the foregoing or certain clients of registered
investment advisors, as more specifically described in the Prospectus under
"Plan of Distribution - Investments by Certain Persons." Any such rebate to you,
the Manager, a Soliciting Dealer or any Affiliate or employee of such person
will only be made if and to the extent that any Soliciting Dealer which would
otherwise be entitled to a selling commission on any such transaction agrees to
such rebate.
5. Certain Covenants of the Fund and the Manager. The Fund and the Manager
covenant and agree with you as follows:
(a) The Fund will not at any time file or make any amendment or supplement to
the Registration Statement or Prospectus of which you shall not have previously
been advised and furnished a copy, or to which you or any Soliciting Dealer
shall object in writing.
(b) The Fund will advise you and each Soliciting Dealer immediately, and confirm
the advice in writing, (i) when the

shall have been filed, (iii) of any request of the Commission for amendment or

The Fund will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop
order or of any order preventing or suspending such use and to obtain as soon as
possible the lifting thereof, if issued.

when requested, such number of copies of the preliminary and amended preliminary

Soliciting Dealer may reasonably request.
(d) The Fund will comply to the best of its ability with the Securities Act and
the Rules and Regulations so as to permit the continuance of sales of and
dealings in the Units under the Securities Act. If at any time when a prospectus
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, an event shall have
occurred as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not untrue or misleading or
to make the Prospectus comply with the Securities Act, the Fund will notify you
and each Soliciting Dealer promptly thereof and will furnish to you an amendment
or supplement which will correct such statement in accordance with the
requirements of Section l0 of the Securities Act.

connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration

the laws of certain jurisdictions as aforesaid, including filing fees and fees
and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith, and the cost of furnishing

material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(iv) On the basis of inquiries of officers of the Fund responsible for financial
and accounting matters and such other procedures as they have deemed adequate in

against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several:
(i) to which you or any Soliciting Dealer may become subject under the
Securities Act, the various State securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any sales literature furnished by us, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; or
(ii) to which you or any Soliciting Dealer may become subject due to the
misrepresentation by the Fund or the Manager or its agents (other than you or
any Soliciting Dealer) of material facts in connection with the sale of the
Units, unless the misrepresentation of such material facts was the direct result
of misleading information provided to the Fund or the Manager or its agents by
you; or
(iii) to which you or any Soliciting Dealer may become subject as a result of
any breach by the Fund or the Manager of the representations, warranties, and
covenants contained herein.
The Manager will reimburse you and any Soliciting Dealers for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof); provided,
however, that the Manager shall not be liable in any such case to the
10
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or such amendment
or supplement or in any sales literature, in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Fund or the Manager by you
specifically for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement shall
be in addition to any liabilities which the Fund or the Manager may otherwise
have in connection with this offering.
The foregoing indemnity agreement shall extend upon the same terms and

controls you or any Soliciting Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(b) You agree and each Soliciting Dealer will agree to indemnify and hold
harmless the Fund and the Manager against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Fund or the Manager may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any sales literature, or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement or in
any sales literature, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Fund or the Managers by you specifically for use in
the preparation thereof; and will reimburse the Fund and the Manager for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect
thereof). This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liabilities which
you or any Soliciting Dealer may otherwise have in connection with this
offering.
The foregoing indemnity agreement shall extend upon the same terms and
conditions to, and shall inure to the benefit of, each person, if any, who
controls the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement
of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the indemnifying party under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
Paragraph 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
thereof;
11
but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
such subparagraph. In case any such action shall be brought against such
indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying
party, similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnifying and indemnified parties, and after the
indemnified party shall have received notice from the agreed upon counsel that
the defense has been so assumed, in the event that the indemnified party
nonetheless elects to participate in the defense of any such action for any
reason other than the presence of a conflict of interest, the indemnifying party
shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof.
8. Non-Circumvention. Neither the Manager, the Fund , nor any affiliates
thereof, will (a) notify or actively solicit any Soliciting Dealer's clients
with respect to any further transactions, or (b) release the name and/or account
information for any of any Soliciting Dealer's clients to any other party unless

Agreement.

shall have no liability for the payment of any commissions or fees hereunder, in
