3.4 Sales Literature. The Dealer Manager shall use and distribute
in conjunction with the offer and sale of any Units only the Prospectus and such
sales literature and advertising as shall have been previously approved in
writing by the Company.

offered and sold only in those jurisdictions specified in writing by the Company

of its Units has been authorized by the appropriate State Regulatory
Authorities. No Units shall be offered or sold for the account of the Company in
any other states.
3.6 Escrow. All funds received by the Dealer Manager for the sale
of Units shall be deposited in an escrow account established by the Company at
X.X.Xxxxxx Trust Company (the Escrow Agent), by the close of the first business
day following receipt of such funds by the Dealer Manager. Such escrow account
shall be denominated "ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUBSCRIBERS FOR UNITS OF
COMMONWEALTH INCOME & GROWTH FUND VI" Until such time (if any) as the funds held
in escrow are deliverable to the Company pursuant to the Escrow Agreement
between the Company and the Escrow Agent, the Dealer Manager shall, and shall
cause Participating Brokers to, instruct subscribers to make checks for
subscriptions payable to the order of "X.X.XXXXXX TRUST COMPANY, ESCROW AGENT,"
and shall return checks made payable to another party to the Participating
Broker or subscriber who submitted the check. Thereafter, checks may be made
payable to either the Escrow Agent or the Company. The Dealer Manager may
authorize certain Participating Brokers which are "$25,000 broker-dealers" to
instruct their customers to make their checks for Units subscribed for payable
directly to the Participating Broker. In such case, the Participating Broker
will collect the proceeds of the subscribers' checks and issue a check made
payable to the order of the Escrow Agent for the aggregate amount of the
subscription proceeds.
SECTION 4
COMPENSATION
4.1 Commissions. The Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager, as
compensation for all services to be rendered by the Dealer Manager pursuant to
this Agreement, a commission equal to eight percent (8%) of the selling price of
each Unit for which a sale is completed, regardless of whether such Unit is sold
by the Dealer Manager or a Participating Broker: provided, however that the
Company will pay reduced commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain
sales of Units, including the reduction or elimination of commissions in
accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus and the
paragraphs following this Paragraph 4.1, which reduction or elimination of
commissions will not change the net proceeds to the Company. Unitholders who
elect to participate in the Reinvestment Plan will be charged commissions on
Units purchased for their accounts on the same basis as investors who otherwise
purchase Units in the Offering.
4.2 Dealer Manager Fee. The Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager
a nonaccountable fee for expenses incurred in selling and marketing the Units,
including wholesaling expenses, and for bona fide expenses incurred in
connection with due diligence expense reimbursements, which fee shall be equal
to two percent (2.0%) of the selling price of each Unit for which a sale is
completed, regardless of whether such Unit is sold by the Dealer Manager or a
Participating Broker. All due diligence expense reimbursements shall be paid by
the Dealer Manager from this fee.
4.3 Completed Sale.
(a) A sale of a Unit shall be deemed to be completed under Paragraph
4.1 if and only if (i) the Company has received a properly completed and
executed subscription agreement, together with payment of the full purchase
price of each purchased Unit, from or, in accordance with Paragraph 3.3(a), on
behalf of an investor who satisfies the applicable suitability standards and
minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement as
determined by the Dealer Manager in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (ii) the Company has accepted such subscription, and (iii) such
investor has been admitted as a Unitholder of the Company.
(b) The Dealer Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) the Company, in it's sole and absolute
discretion, may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any
reason whatsoever, and no commission will be paid to the Dealer Manager with the
respect to that portion of any subscription, which is rejected;
(ii) no commission will be paid to the Dealer
Manager unless, within one year after the initial date of the Prospectus,
subscriptions for an aggregate of at least 57,500 Units have been received and
accepted; and
(iii) no commission will be paid to the Dealer
Manager prior to acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for the minimum
number of Units specified in subparagraph (ii) above.
4.4 Payment. The commissions specified in Paragraph 4.1 for the
sale of any Unit shall be payable in cash by the Company, as specified in
Paragraph 4.1 no later than the end of the calendar month in which the investor
subscribing for the Unit is admitted as a Unitholder of the partnership.
Investors shall first be admitted as unitholders of the Partnership within 30
days after acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for at least 50 Units. The
Company will accept or reject all subscriptions within 30 days after receipt,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the
Company pays any commission to the Dealer Manager for sale by a Participating
Broker of one or more Units and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more
of the Units covered by such subscription, the Company shall decrease the next
payment of commissions or other compensation otherwise payable to the Dealer
Manager by the Company under this Agreement by an equal amount to the commission
rate established in Paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement, multiplied by the number of
Units as to which the subscription is rescinded. In the event that no payment of
commissions or other compensation is due to the Dealer Manager after such
withdrawal occurs, the Dealer Manager shall pay the amount specified in the
preceding sentence to the Company within ten (10) days following receipt of
notice by the Dealer Manager from the Company stating the amount owed as a
result of rescinded subscriptions.
4.5 Sales Incentives. The Dealer Manager also may provide
incentive items for registered representatives of the Dealer Manager and the
Participating Brokers, which in no event shall exceed an aggregate of $100.00
per annum per participating sales person, and which shall be payable out of the
Dealer Manager Fee received by the Dealer Manager. In the event other incentives
are provided to registered representatives of the Dealer Manager or the
Participating Brokers, they will only be paid in cash and such payments will
only be made to the Dealer Manager or the Participating Brokers rather than
their registered representatives. Before any such sales incentive program is
offered, the Company agrees to obtain prior approval of the terms of such
program from the NASD.
4.6 Due Diligence. Out of the gross offering proceeds of the
Offering, the Company and the Limited Partnership may, through the Dealer
Manager or directly, reimburse Participating Brokers for their bona fide due
diligence expenses, in an amount not to exceed $250,000, which represents 0.5%
of the gross proceeds of the Offering.
4.7 Maximum Compensation. The offering of the units is intended
to be in compliance with Rule 2810 of the Rules of Conduct of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The maximum underwriting compensation
payable under this offering will not exceed 10% of the gross offering proceeds,
plus an additional 0.5% for any additional bona fide due diligence expenses of
the dealer manager or any selected dealer. Total compensation of up to 10.5% of
