CONSISTING OF
1,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
AND
1,000,000 CLASS E REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
SELECTED DEALERS AGREEMENT
Dear Sirs:
1. Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc., named as the underwriter in the enclosed
Preliminary Prospectus (the "Underwriter"), proposes to offer on a firm
commitment basis, subject to the terms and conditions and execution of the
Underwriting Agreement, approximately 1,000,000 units (including any additional
units offered pursuant to an over-allotment option, the "Firm Units") of Trans
Global Services, Inc. (the "Company") each consisting of one (1) share of common
stock par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") and one (1) Class E
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant"), to purchase one share
of Common Stock. The Firm Units are more particularly described in the enclosed
Preliminary Prospectus, additional copies of which as well as the Prospectus
(after effective date) will be supplied in reasonable quantities upon request.
2. The Underwriter is soliciting offers to buy Units upon the terms and
conditions hereof, from Selected Dealers, who are to act as principals,
including you, who are (i) registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("the Commission") as broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended ("the 1934 Act"), and members in good standing with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("the NASD"), or (ii) dealers
of institutions with their principal place of business located outside the
United States, its territories and possessions and not registered under the 1934
Act who agree to make no sales within the United States, its territories and
possessions or to persons who are nationals thereof or residents therein and, in
making sales, to comply with the NASD's interpretation with respect to
free-riding
1
and withholding. Units are to be offered to the public at a price of $4.00 per
Unit. Selected Dealers will be allowed a concession of ___% of the offering
price. You will be notified of the precise amount of such concession prior to
the effective date of the Registration Statement. The offer is solicited subject
to the issuance and delivery of the Units and their acceptance by the
Underwriter to the approval of legal matters by counsel and to the terms and
conditions as herein set forth.
3. Your offer to purchase may be revoked in whole or in part without
obligation or commitment of any kind by you any time prior to acceptance and no
offer may be accepted by us and no sale can be made until after the registration
statement covering the Units has become effective with the Commission. Subject
to the foregoing, upon execution by you of the Offer to Purchase below and the
return of same to us, you shall be deemed to have offered to purchase the number
of Units set forth in your offer on the basis set forth in paragraph 2 above.
Any oral notice by us of acceptance of your offer shall be immediately followed
by written or telegraphic confirmation preceded or accompanied by a copy of the
Prospectus. If a contractual commitment arises hereunder, all the terms of this
Selected Dealers Agreement shall be applicable. We may also make available to
you an allotment to purchase Units, but such allotment shall be subject to
modification or termination upon notice from us any time prior to an exchange of
confirmations reflecting completed transactions. All references hereafter in
this Agreement to the purchase and sale of the Units assume and are applicable
only if contractual commitments to purchase are completed in accordance with the
foregoing.
4. You agree that in re-offering the Units, if your offer is accepted
after the Effective Date, you will make a bona fide public distribution of same.
You will advise us upon request of the Units purchased by you remaining unsold,
and we shall have the right to repurchase such Units upon demand at the public
offering price less the concession as set forth in paragraph 2 above. Any of the
Units purchased by you pursuant to this Agreement are to be re-offered by you to
the public at the public offering price, subject to the terms hereof and shall
not be offered or sold by you below the public offering price before the
termination of this Agreement.
5. Payment for Units which you purchase hereunder shall be made by you
on such date as we may determine by certified or bank cashier's check payable in
New York Clearinghouse funds to Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. Certificates for the
securities shall be delivered as soon as practicable at the offices of Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx, Inc., Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000. Unless specifically
authorized by us, payment by you may not be deferred until delivery of
certificates to you.
6. A registration statement covering the offering has been filed with
the Commission in respect to the Units. You will be promptly advised when the
registration statement becomes effective. Each Selected Dealer in selling the
Units pursuant hereto agrees (which agreement shall also be for the benefit of
the Company) that it will comply with the applicable requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 and of the 1934 Act and any applicable rules and
regulations issued under said Acts. No person is authorized by the Company or by
the Underwriter to give any
2
information or to make any representations other than those contained in the
Prospectus in connection with the sale of the Units. Nothing contained herein
shall render the Selected Dealers a member of the underwriting group or partners
with the Underwriter or with one another.
7. You will be informed by us as to the states in which we have been
advised by counsel the Units have been qualified for sale or are exempt under
the respective securities or Blue Sky laws of such states, but we have not
assumed and will not assume any obligation or responsibility as to the right of
any Selected Dealer to sell Units in any state.
8. The Underwriter shall have full authority to take such action as we
may deem advisable in respect of all matters pertaining to the offering or
arising thereunder. The Underwriter shall not be under any liability to you,
except such as may be incurred under the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules
and regulations thereunder, except for lack of good faith and except for
obligations assumed by us in this Agreement, and no obligation on our part shall
be implied or inferred herefrom.
9. Selected Dealers will be governed by the conditions herein set forth
until this Agreement is terminated. This Agreement will terminate when the
offering is completed. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed a commitment on
our part to sell you any Units; such contractual commitment can only be made in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof.
10. You represent that you are a member in good standing of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("Association") and registered
as a broker-dealer or are not eligible for membership under Section I of the
By-Laws of the Association who agree to make no sales within the United States,
its territories, or possessions or to persons who are nationals thereof or
residents therein and, in making sales, to comply with the NASD's interpretation
with respect to free-riding and withholding. Your attention is called to the
following: (a) Rules 2730, 2740, 2420 and 2750 of the NASD Conduct Rules of the
Association and the interpretations of said Section promulgated by the Board of
Governors of such Association including the interpretation with respect to
"Free-Riding and Withholding"; (b) Section 10(b) of the 1934 Act and Rules 10b-6
and 10b-10 of the general rules and regulations promulgated under said Act; (c)
Securities Act Release #3907; (d) Securities Act Release #4150; and (e)
Securities Act Release #4968 requiring the distribution of a Preliminary
Prospectus to all persons reasonably expected to be purchasers of Shares from
you at least 48 hours prior to the time you expect to mail confirmations. You,
if a member of the Association, by signing this Agreement, acknowledge that you
are familiar with the cited law, rules, and releases, and agree that you will
not directly and/or indirectly violate any provisions of applicable law in
connection with your participation in the distribution of the Units.
11. In addition to compliance with the provisions of paragraph 10
hereof, you will not, until advised by us in writing or by wire that the entire
offering has been distributed and closed, bid for or purchase Units or its
component securities in the open market or otherwise make a market in such
securities or otherwise attempt to induce others to purchase such securities in
the
3
open market. Nothing contained in this paragraph 11 shall, however, preclude you
from acting as agent in the execution of unsolicited orders of customers in
transactions effectuated for them through a market maker.
12. You understand that the Underwriter may in connection with the
offering engage in stabilizing transactions. If the Underwriter contracts for or
purchases in the open market in connection with such stabilization any Units
sold to you hereunder and not effectively placed by you, the Underwriter may
charge you the Selected Dealer's concession originally allowed you on the Units
so purchased, and you agree to pay such amount to us on demand.
13. You agree that (i) you shall not recommend to a customer the
purchase of Firm Units unless you shall have reasonable grounds to believe that
the recommendation is suitable for such customer on the basis of information
furnished by such customer concerning the customer's investment objectives,
financial situation and needs, and any other information known to you, (ii) in
connection with all such determinations, you shall maintain in your files the
basis for such determination, and (iii) you shall not execute any transaction in
Firm Units in a discretionary account without the prior specific written
approval of the customer.
14. All communications from you should be directed to us at the office
of the Underwriter, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc., Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX
00000. All communications from us to you shall be directed to the address to
which this letter is mailed.
Very truly yours,
XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX, INC.
