c. | The Underwriter and any participating broker dealers (the “Members”) shall confirm, via the selected dealer agreement or master selected dealer agreement that it will comply with Rule 15c2-4. As per Rule 15c2-4 and notice to members 84-7 (the “Rule”), all checks that are accompanied by a subscription agreement will be promptly sent along with the subscription agreements to the escrow account by noon the next business day.

Absent unusual circumstances, funds in customer accounts will be transmitted by noon of the next business day. In the event that funds are sent in and the offering does not close for any reason prior to the Termination Date set forth in the final Registration Statement, all funds will be returned to investors promptly in accordance with the escrow agreement terms and applicable law. |
