Qualified Independent Underwriter The Company hereby confirms that at its request and pursuant to a letter agreement dated October 15, 2003 among the Company, Xxxxxxxx and the QIU, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, the QIU acted as "qualified independent underwriter" within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules of the NASD in connection with the Public Offering. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the QIU and each person who controls the QIU within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the QIU may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the QIU's acting (or alleged failing to act) as such "qualified independent underwriter" and will reimburse the QIU for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the QIU in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the QIU or any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by the QIU under the terms of such letter agreement. As compensation for the services of the QIU hereunder, Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay the QIU $50,000 on the Closing Date and to reimburse the QIU for all reasonable expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by it as the QIU. The price at which the Shares will be sold to the public shall not be higher than the maximum price recommended by the QIU.
Issuer-Directed Offering; No Underwriter Subscriber understands that the offering is being conducted by the Company directly (issuer-directed) and the Company has not engaged a selling agent such as an underwriter or placement agent.
UNDERWRITERS’ INFORMATION The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Underwriters’ Information consists solely of the following information in the Prospectus: the statements concerning the Underwriters contained in the fourth, seventh through eleventh and fourteenth through nineteenth paragraphs under the heading “Underwriting.”
Qualified Purchaser Subscriber will generally qualify as a “qualified purchaser” if Subscriber falls within one or more of the following categories:
Underwriter No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting U.S. Underwriter from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the U.S. Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant U.S. Option Securities, as the case may be, either the U.S. Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term "U.S. Underwriter" includes any person substituted for a U.S. Underwriter under this Section 10.
Underwriters The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the U.S. Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
Underwriters’ Warrants The Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Underwriter on the Closing Date warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to an aggregate of 10% of the amount of Public Securities sold in the Offering, including all Option Shares (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”). The Underwriter’s Warrants as evidenced by the Underwriter’s Warrant Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing one (1) year after the Effective Date and expiring five (5) years after the Effective Date at an initial exercise price per share of Common Stock of $_______ [120% of the public offering price of the Public Securities]. The Underwriter’s Warrants and the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise thereof (“Warrant Shares”) are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Warrant Securities.” The Underwriter understands and agrees that there are significant restrictions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 against transferring the Warrant Securities and by its acceptance thereof shall agree that it will not, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate the Warrant Securities, or any portion thereof, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities other than in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110.
Relationship Among Underwriters and Selected Dealers We shall have full authority to take such actions as we deem advisable in all matters pertaining to any Offering under this Master SDA. You are not authorized to act as an agent for us, any Underwriter or the Issuer or other Seller of any Securities in offering Securities to the public or otherwise. Neither we nor any Underwriter will be under any obligation to you except for obligations assumed hereby or in any Wire from us in connection with any Offering, and no obligations on our part as the Manager will be implied hereby or inferred herefrom. Nothing contained in this Master SDA or any Wire shall constitute the Selected Dealers an association or partners with us or any Underwriter or with one another, and the obligations of you and each of the other Selected Dealers or any of the Underwriters are several and not joint. If the Selected Dealers, among themselves, with us or with the Underwriters, should be deemed to constitute a partnership for federal income tax purposes, then you elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and agree not to take any position inconsistent with such election. You authorize the Manager, in its discretion, to execute on your behalf such evidence of such election as may be required by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In connection with any Offering, you will be liable for your proportionate share of the amount of any tax, claim, demand or liability that may be asserted against you alone or against one or more Selected Dealers participating in such Offering, or against us or the Underwriters, based upon the claim that the Selected Dealers, or any of them, constitute an association, an unincorporated business or other entity, including, in each case, your proportionate share of the amount of any expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending against any such tax, claim, demand or liability.
Offering by the Initial Purchasers The Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Notes at the price and upon the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum as soon as practicable after this Agreement is entered into and as in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers is advisable.

The Underwriter’s Warrant, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the five-year anniversary from the date that the Commission (as defined herein) declared the Registration Statement (as defined herein) effective (the “Effective Date”) at an initial exercise price equal to 110% of the Per Share Price (as defined below) of the Securities. The Underwriter’s Warrant shall include a “cashless” exercise feature.

Delivery of the Underwriter’s Warrant shall be made on a Closing Date and shall be issued in the name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Underwriter may request.
