Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Electric Aquagenics Unlimited, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, desires to offer for sale to the public a minimum of 200,000 and a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, at an offering price of $2.00 per share, for an aggregate of $400,000 minimum and $2,000,000 maximum (the "Shares").
WHEREAS The Company desires to offer such Shares for sale through Nexcore Capital, Inc., (the "Underwriter" "us" or "we"), a NASD registered broker/dealer. The offering will be undertaken by the Underwriter as agent for the Company on a "best-efforts" basis, so that in the event $400,000 for the purchase of Shares is not received within the agreed period, no Shares will be sold, and we will not be entitled to any compensation.
1. We herein confirm our agreement with you. Our appointment as Underwriter was subject to terms and conditions as follows:
(a) The Company employed us as the exclusive agent to sell for the Company's account up to 1,000,000 Shares. We agreed to use our best efforts as agent, promptly following the receipt of written notice of the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, to offer for sale up to 1,000,000 Shares, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.
(b) In the event that we do not find subscribers for the minimum number of Shares having a total aggregate purchase price of $400,000 by May 15, 2003 (or up to 180 days thereafter if mutually agreed to by the Company and us) the Underwriting Agreement shall terminate, and neither party to the Underwriting Agreement shall have any obligation to the other party, except for the obligations to reimburse expenses as provided in subsection 5(n) of the Underwriting Agreement. Appropriate arrangements satisfactory to us have been made for placing the funds received for the Shares in a Escrow Account, until a total of $400,000 in cash have been received and thereafter during the term of the offering, with provision for refund to the purchasers as set forth above or for delivery to the Company of the net proceeds therefrom if the minimum offering of $400,000 in cash has been received from the sale of Shares hereunder. The Escrow Account will be administered by an independent escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), AM Bank in Provo , Utah, in accordance with Rule 15c2-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which will make disbursements among us and the Company in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and any written instructions signed by both us and the Company.
(c) The 1,000,000 Shares shall be offered to the general public at the initial public offering price of $2.00 per Share.
(d) We have agreed to instruct investors to make all checks tendered as payment for the Shares payable to "Electric Aquagenics Unlimited, Inc., Escrow Account," and shall deposit promptly, but in no event later than noon of the next business day following receipt, the gross proceeds from sales of Shares in the Escrow Account until $400,000 are received from said sales. Said deposit shall include the accumulated amount of customer free credit balances, cash, and checks cleared and payment thereof honored by our bank and correspondent banks. We were granted irrevocable authority as agent for the Company to declare any contract to purchase Shares offered to the public hereunder in default if such Shares are not paid for in immediately available funds within three days after the contract date. After the minimum subscriptions of $400,000 have been deposited in good funds into the Escrow Account, those funds, less amounts payable to us, will be disbursed to the Company, and the balance of the funds will be disbursed to us. After achievement of the minimum subscription requirement, gross proceeds from the sale of Shares will continue to be deposited into the Escrow Account during the entire term of the offering, and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement on a weekly basis.
(e) On the date of the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company paid a deposit of $10,000 in cash to us (the "Underwriter Deposit") as reimbursement on an accountable basis of our review costs. Upon receipt of request from the Company, we will submit verification of actual expenses incurred by us to support reimbursement of our review costs. As its additional compensation and subject to the sale of Shares with a public offering price of $400,000, we shall be entitled to receive a commission of 10% of the sales price per Share, or $0.20 per Share, with respect to all Shares sold and for which payment is made to the Company. In addition, we will receive a nonaccountable expense allowance of 3% of the sales price per Share, or $0.06 per Share, for our nonaccountable expenses incurred in connection with the offering. We have the right to reallow all or any portion of our compensation to participating broker-dealers selected by us under subsection 1(h) of the Underwriting Agreement.
(f) We will also be issued warrants to purchase the common stock of the Company in an amount up to 2% of the number of Shares of common stock sold in the offering. The exercise price of the warrants will be equal to $2.50 per share and the exercise period will be five years from the date of issue. We will have the right to reallow all or any portion of those warrants to participating broker-dealers selected by us under subsection 1(h) of the Underwriting Agreement.
(g) The Company agreed to issue or have issued such Shares in such names and denominations as may be specified by us and to deliver certificates representing the Shares against payment to the Company by cash or cashier's check in the amount of the selling price of the Shares less our sales commissions and other compensation as provided in the Underwriting Agreement. Such payment and delivery shall be made to us at such a date and time within three days following the sale of the Shares as provided in subsection 1(b) hereof as shall be agreed on by us and the Company (the "time of closing"). We agreed to deliver certificates to the buyers of the Shares within ten days of the delivery of certificates to us as provided in the Underwriting Agreement. For purposes of expediting the checking and packaging of the certificates, the Company agreed to make the certificates available for inspection by us, the transfer agent, or other authorized representative at the time of closing.
(h) We are authorized to organize a selling group of participating members of the selling group consisting exclusively of members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Such participating members of the selling group are to act as subagents and shall be allowed to purchase on an equal basis from us at a price that provides a concession out of our commission in such amount as we may determine. Each of such participating members of the selling group shall be deemed and considered to be an Underwriter for purposes of sections 6 and 7 hereof.
(i) The Company has appointed or will appoint prior to commencement of the offering a duly qualified, licensed and bonded transfer agent and registrar of the Shares, subject to approval by us.
