2,000,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants
AGREEMENT AMONG UNDERWRITERS
Boca Raton, Florida
, 1997
-------------
Xxxxxx Xxxxx Securities, Inc.
0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000
Dear Sirs:
1. Underwriting Agreement. We understand that DIDAX
INC. (the "Company"), proposes to enter into an underwriting agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Xxxxxx Xxxxx
Securities, Inc. (the "Representative") and the other underwriters named in
Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriters"), acting severally
and not jointly, with respect to the purchase of an aggregate of 2,000,000
Shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") and 2,000,000 Warrants (the "Warrants").
The Shares and Warrants are hereinafter also referred to collectively as the
"Securities". The Securities and the terms under which they are to be offered
for sale by the several Underwriters are more particularly described in the
Registration Statement, Underwriting Agreement and Prospectus.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term Securities
shall also include an additional 300,000 Shares and an additional 300,000
Warrants (the "Option Securities"), all or any part of which the Representative
and/or the Underwriters are entitled to purchase from the Company upon exercise
of the Representative's over-allotment option referred to in Section 2(b) of
the Underwriting Agreement.
This is to confirm that we agree to purchase, in accordance
with the terms hereof and of the Underwriting Agreement, the number of
Securities set forth opposite our name in Schedule A, plus such number of
Securities, if any, which we may become obligated to purchase pursuant to
Section 2(b) of the Underwriting Agreement and Section 4 hereof ("our
Securities"). The ratio which the number of our Securities bears to the total
number of Securities purchased pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is herein
called "our underwriting proportion".
2. Registration Statement and Prospectus. We have
heretofore received and examined a copy of the registration statement, as
amended to the date hereof, and the related
2
prospectus in respect of the Securities, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The registration statement as amended at the time it
becomes effective, including financial statements and exhibits, is hereafter
referred to as the "Registration Statement", and the prospectus in the form
first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to its Rule
424(b) after the Registration Statement becomes effective is referred to as the
"Prospectus".
We confirm that the information furnished to you by us for use
in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus is correct and is not
misleading insofar as it relates to us. We consent to being named as an
Underwriter in such Registration Statement and we are willing to accept our
responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), as a result
thereof. We confirm that we have authorized you to advise the Company on our
behalf (a) as to the statements to be included in any Preliminary Prospectus
and in the Prospectus under the heading "Underwriting" insofar as they relate
to us and (b) that there is no other information about us required to be stated
in the Registration Statement or Prospectus. We further confirm that, upon
request by you as Representative, we have furnished a copy of any amended
Preliminary Prospectus to each person to whom we have furnished a copy of any
previous Prospectus, and we confirm that we have delivered, and we agree that
we will deliver, all preliminary and final Prospectuses required for compliance
with the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "1934 Act").
3. Authority of the Representative. We authorize you,
acting as Representative of the Underwriters, to execute and deliver on our
behalf, the Underwriting Agreement, and to agree to any variation of its terms
(except as to the purchase price and the number of our Securities) which, in
your judgment, is not a variation which materially and adversely affects our
rights and obligations. We also authorize you, in your discretion and on our
behalf, with approval of counsel for the Underwriters, to approve the
Prospectus and to approve of, or object to, any further amendments to the
Registration Statement, or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus. We
further authorize you to exercise all the authority and discretion vested in
the Underwriters and in you by the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and
to take all such action as you in your discretion may believe desirable to
carry out the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and of this Agreement
including the extension of any date specified in the Underwriting Agreement,
the exercise of any right of cancellation or termination and to determine all
matters relating to the public advertisement of the Securities; provided,
however, that, except with the consent of Underwriters who shall have agreed to
purchase in the aggregate 50% or more of the Securities, no extension of the
time by which the Registration Statement is to become effective as provided in
the Underwriting Agreement shall be for a period in excess of two
3
business days. We authorize you to take such action as in your discretion may
be necessary or desirable to effect the sale and distribution of the
Securities, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
right to determine the terms of any proposed offering, the concession to
Selected Dealers (as hereinafter defined) and the reallowance, if any, to other
dealers and the right to make the judgments provided for in the Underwriting
Agreement.
4. Authority of Representative as to Defaulting
Underwriters. Until the termination of this Agreement, we authorize you to
arrange for the purchase by other persons, who may include you or any of the
other Underwriters, of any Securities not taken up by any defaulting
Underwriter. In the event that such arrangements are made, the respective
amounts of the Securities to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters
and by such other person or persons, if any, shall be taken as the basis for
all rights and obligations hereunder; but this shall not in any way affect the
liability of any defaulting Underwriter to the other Underwriters for damages
resulting from its default, nor shall any such default relieve any other
Underwriter of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Underwriting
Agreement except as herein or therein provided.
In the event of default by one or more Underwriters in respect
of their obligations (a) under the Underwriting Agreement to purchase the
Securities agreed to be purchased by them thereunder, (b) under this Agreement
to take up and pay for any Securities purchased or (c) to deliver any
Securities sold or over-allotted by you for the respective accounts of the
Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, or to bear their respective share of
expenses or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, and to the extent that
arrangements shall not have been made by you for any persons to assume the
obligations of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, we agree to assume
our proportionate share of the obligations of each defaulting Underwriter
(subject in the case of clause (a) above to the limitations contained in the
Underwriting Agreement) without relieving any such defaulting Underwriter of
its liability therefor.
5. Offering of Securities. We understand that you will
notify us when the public offering of the Securities is to be made and of the
initial public offering price. We hereby authorize you to fix the concession
to dealers and the reallowance to dealers and in your sole discretion after the
public offering to change the public offering price, the concession and the
reallowance. The offering price at any time in effect is hereinafter referred
to as the "public offering price". We agree that we will not offer any of the
Securities for sale at a price other than the public offering price or allow
any discount therefrom except as herein otherwise specifically provided.
4
We agree that public advertisement of the offering shall be
made by you on behalf of the Underwriters on such date as you shall determine.
We have not advertised the offering and will not do so until after such date.
We understand that any advertisement we may then make will be on our own
responsibility and at our own expense.
We authorize you to reserve and offer for sale to institutions
and other retail purchasers and to dealers (the "Selected Dealers") to be
selected by you (such dealers may include any Underwriter) such of our
Securities as you in your sole discretion shall determine. Any such offering
to Selected Dealers may be made pursuant to a Selling Agreement, in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B, or otherwise , as you may determine. The form of
Selling Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B is satisfactory to us.
We authorize you to make purchases and sales of the Securities
from or to any Selected Dealers or Underwriters at the public offering price
less all or any part of the concession and, with your consent, any Underwriter
may make purchases or sales of the Securities from or to any Selected Dealer or
Underwriter at the public offering price less all or any of the concession.
We understand that you will notify each Underwriter promptly
upon the release of the Securities for public offering as to the amount of
Securities reserved for sale to Selected Dealers and retail purchasers.
Securities not so reserved may be sold by each Underwriter for its own account,
except that from time to time you may, in your discretion, add to the
Securities reserved for sale to Selected Dealers and retail purchasers any
Securities retained by an Underwriter remaining unsold. We agree to notify you
from time to time upon request of the amount of our Securities retained by us
remaining unsold. If all the Securities reserved for offering to Selected
Dealers and retail purchasers are not promptly sold by you, any Underwriter may
from time to time, with your consent, obtain a release of all or any Securities
of such Underwriter then remaining unsold and Securities so released shall
thereafter be deemed not to have been reserved. Securities of any Underwriter
so reserved which remain unsold, or, if sold, have not been paid for at any
time prior to the termination of this Agreement may, in your discretion or upon
the request of such Underwriter, be delivered to such Underwriter for carrying
purposes only, but such Securities shall remain subject to redelivery to you
upon demand for disposition by you until this Agreement is terminated.
We agree that in connection with sales and offers to sell the
Securities, if any, made by us outside the United States or its territories or
possessions, (a) we will furnish to each person to whom any such offer or sale
is made such Prospectus, advertisement or other offering document containing
information
5
relating to the Securities or the Company as may be required under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which such offer or sale is made and (b) we will furnish to
each person to whom any such offer is made a copy of the then current
Preliminary Prospectus and to each person to whom any such sale is made a copy
of the Prospectus referred to in the Underwriting Agreement (as then amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto). Any Prospectus, advertisement or other offering document (other than
any such preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus) furnished by us to any person in
accordance with the preceding sentence and all such additional offering
material, if any, as we may furnish to any person (i) shall comply in all
respects with the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is so furnished, (ii)
shall be prepared and so furnished at our sole risk and expense, and (iii)
shall not contain information relating to the Securities or the Company which
is inconsistent in any respect with information contained in the then current
Preliminary Prospectus or in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if
the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), as the
case may be.
We recognize the importance of a broad distribution of the
Securities among bona fide investors and we agree to use our best efforts to
obtain such broad distribution and to that end, to the extent we deem
practicable, to give priority to small orders.
We agree that we will not sell to any account over which we
exercised discretionary authority any of the Securities which we have agreed to
purchase pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
6. Compensation to Representative. We authorize you to
charge to our account, as compensation for your services as Representative in
connection with this offering, including the purchase from the Company of the
Securities and the management of the offering, an amount equal to $_____ per
Share and/or $________ per Warrant in respect to each of our Securities.
7. Payment and Delivery. At or about 9:00 a.m., Eastern
Time, on the Closing Dates (including the first Closing Date and any Option
Closing Date, as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), we agree to deliver to
you at your office by wire transfer to the account of the Representative or by
a certified or official bank check payable in New York Clearing House funds to
your order in an amount equal to the initial public offering price, less the
concession to the Selected Dealers in respect of that portion of our Securities
which has been retained by or released to us for direct sales.
In the event that our funds are not received by you when
required, you are authorized, in your discretion, but shall not be obligated,
to make payment for our account pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement by
advancing your own funds. Any such
6
payment by you shall not relieve us from any of our obligations hereunder or
under the Underwriting Agreement.
We authorize you to hold and deliver against payment any of
our Securities which have been sold or reserved for sale to Selected Dealers or
retail purchasers. Any of our Securities not sold or reserved by you as
aforesaid, will be available for delivery to us at your office as soon as
practicable after such Securities have been delivered to you.
Upon the termination of this Agreement, or prior thereto at
your discretion, you will deliver to us any of our Securities reserved by you
for sale to Selected Dealers or retail purchasers but not sold and paid for
against payment by us of an amount equal to the initial public offering price
of such Securities, less the concession to the Selected Dealers in respect
thereof.
8. Authority to Borrow. We authorize you to arrange
loans for our account and to execute and deliver any notes or other instruments
in connection therewith, and to pledge as security therefor all or any part of
our Securities, as you may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the
purchase, carrying and distribution of the Securities, and to advance your own
funds, charging current interest rates.
9. Over-allotment; Stabilization. We authorize you, for
the account of each Underwriter, prior to the termination of this Agreement,
and for such longer period as may be necessary to cover any short position
incurred for the accounts of the several Underwriters pursuant to this
Agreement, (a) to over-allot in arranging for sales of Securities to Selected
Dealers and others and, if necessary, to purchase Securities (whether pursuant
to exercise of the option set forth in Section 2(b) of the Underwriting
Agreement or otherwise) at such prices as you may determine for the purpose of
covering such over-allotments, and (b) for the purpose of stabilizing the
market in the Securities, to make purchases and sales of Securities on the open
market or otherwise, for long or short account, on a when-issued basis or
otherwise, at such prices, in such amounts and in such manner as you may
determine; provided, however, that at no time shall our net commitment, either
for long or short account, under this Section exceed 15% of the amount of our
Securities. Such purchases, sales and over-allotments shall be made for the
respective accounts of the several Underwriters as nearly as practicable to
their respective underwriting proportions. We agree to take up on demand at
cost any Securities so purchased for our account and deliver on demand any
Securities so sold or over-allotted for our account. We authorize you to sell
for the account of the Underwriters any Securities purchased pursuant to this
Section, upon such terms as you may deem advisable, and any Underwriter,
including yourselves, may purchase such Securities. You are authorized to
charge the respective accounts of the Underwriters with broker's commissions or
dealer's xxxx-up on purchases and sales effected by you.
7
If pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph and
prior to the termination of this Agreement (or prior to such earlier date as
you may have determined) you purchase or contract to purchase for the account
of any Underwriter in the open market or otherwise any Securities which were
retained by, or released to, us for direct sale, or any Securities which may
have been issued in exchange for such Securities, we authorize you either to
charge our account with an amount equal to the concession to Selected Dealers
with respect thereto, which amount shall be credited against the cost of such
Securities, or to require us to repurchase such Securities at a price equal to
the total cost of such purchase, including transfer taxes and broker's
commissions or dealer's xxxx-up, if any. In lieu of such action you may, in
your discretion, sell for our account the Securities so purchased and debit or
credit our account for the loss or profit resulting from such sale.
You will notify us promptly if and when you engage in any
stabilization transaction pursuant to this Section or otherwise and will notify
us of the date of termination of stabilization. We agree to file with you any
reports required of us including "Not as Manager" reports pursuant to Rule
17a-2 under the 1934 Act not later than five business days following the date
upon which stabilization was terminated, and we authorize you to file on our
behalf with the Securities and Exchange Commission any reports required by such
Rule.
10. Limitation on Transactions by Underwriters. Except
as permitted by you, we will not during the term of this Agreement bid for,
purchase, sell or attempt to induce others to purchase or sell, directly or
indirectly, any Securities other than (i) as provided in the Underwriting
Agreement and in this agreement, (ii) purchases from or sales to dealers of the
Securities at the public offering price less all or any part of the reallowance
to dealers or (iii) purchases or sales by us of any Securities as broker or
unsolicited orders for the account of others.
We represent that we have not participated in any transaction
prohibited by the preceding paragraph and that we have at all times complied
with the provisions of Rule 10b-6 and Rule 10b-6A under the 1934 Act applicable
to this offering.
We may, with your prior consent, make purchases of the
Securities from and sales to other Underwriters at the public offering price,
less all or any part of the concession to dealers.
11. Allocation and Payment of Expenses. We understand
that all expenses of a general nature incurred by you, as Representative, in
connection with the purchase, carrying, marketing and sale of the Securities
shall be borne by the Underwriters in accordance with their respective share of
the
8
underwriting obligations. We authorize you to charge our account with our
share, based on our underwriting obligation, of the aforesaid expenses
including all transfer taxes paid of our behalf on sales or transfers made for
our account.
As promptly as possible after the termination of this
Agreement, the accounts arising pursuant hereto shall be settled and paid.
Your ascertainment of all expenses and the apportionment thereof shall be
conclusive. Notwithstanding any settlement or settlements hereunder, we will
remain liable for our share of all expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred by or the accounts of the Underwriters, including any expenses and
liabilities referred to in Sections 13 and 14 hereof, which shall be determined
as provided in this Section.
12. Termination. Unless this Agreement or any provision
hereof is earlier terminated by you and except for provisions herein that
contemplate obligations surviving the termination hereof as noted in the next
paragraph, this Agreement will terminate at the close of business on the 45th
day after the date hereof, but in your discretion may be extended by you for a
further period not exceeding 30 days with the consent of the Underwriters who
have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 50% or more of the Securities. No
termination or suspension pursuant to this Section shall affect your authority
to cover any short position under this Agreement.
Upon termination of this Agreement, all authorizations, rights
and obligations hereunder shall cease, except (i) the mutual obligations to
settle accounts under Section 11, (ii) our obligation to pay any transfer taxes
which may be assessed and paid on account of any sales thereunder for our
account, (iii) our obligation with respect to purchases which may be made by
you from time to time thereafter to cover any short position incurred under
this Agreement, (iv) the provisions of Sections 13 and 14 and (v) the
obligations of any defaulting Underwriter, all of which shall continue until
fully discharged.
13. Liability of Representative and Underwriters.
Neither as Representative nor individually shall you be under any liability
whatsoever to any other Underwriter nor shall you be under any liability in
respect of any matters connected herewith or action taken by you pursuant
hereto, except for the obligations expressly assumed by you in this Agreement.
You shall be under no liability for or in respect of the value for the
Securities or the validity of the form thereof, the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, or agreements or other instruments executed by the Company or
others; or for or in respect of the delivery of the Securities; or for the
performance by the Company or others of any agreement on its or their part.
Nothing herein contained shall constitute the several
Underwriters an association, or partners with us or with each
9
other, or, except as herein expressly provided, render any Underwriter liable
for the obligation of any other Underwriter. The rights, obligations and
liabilities of each of the Underwriters are several, in accordance with their
respective obligations, and not joint. Notwithstanding any settlement of
accounts under this Agreement, we agree to pay our underwriting proportion of
the amount of any claim demand or liability which may be asserted against and
discharged by the Underwriters or any of them, based on the claim that the
Underwriters constitute an association, unincorporated business or other
entity, and also to pay our underwriting proportion of expenses approved by you
incurred by the Underwriters, or any of them, in contesting any such claims,
demands or liabilities. If the Underwriters shall be deemed to constitute a
partnership for income tax purposes, it is the intent of each Underwriter to be
excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. Each Underwriter elects to be so
excluded and agrees not to take any position inconsistent with such election.
Each Underwriter authorizes you, in your discretion, to execute and file on
behalf of the Underwriters such evidence of election as may be required by the
Internal Revenue Service.
14. Indemnification and Future Claims.
(a) We agree to indemnify and hold harmless you and each
other Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls you and such other
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, and
to reimburse their expenses, to the extent and upon the terms that we agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and to reimburse expenses as set forth
in the Underwriting Agreement. Our indemnity agreement set forth in this
Section remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of such other Underwriter or controlling person and shall survive
the delivery of and payment for the Securities and the termination of this
Agreement.
(b) In the event that at any time any claim or claims
shall be asserted against you, as Representative, or otherwise involving the
Underwriters generally, relating to the Registration Statement or any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as such may be from time to time
amended or supplemented, the public offering of the Securities or any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, we authorize you to take such
other action as you shall deem necessary or desirable under the circumstances,
including settlement of any such claim or claims if such course of action shall
be recommended by counsel retained by you. We agree to pay to you on request,
our underwriting proportion of all expenses incurred by you (including, but not
limited to, disbursements and fees of counsel so retained) in investigating and
defending against such claim or claims and our underwriting proportion of any
liability incurred by you in respect of such claim or claims, whether such
liability
10
shall be the result of a judgment or as a result of any such settlement.
15. Title to Securities. The Securities purchased by, or
on behalf of, the respective Underwriters shall remain the property of such
Underwriters until sold, and title to any such Securities shall not in any
event pass to the Representative by virtue of any of the provisions of this
Agreement.
16. Blue Sky Matters. It is understood that you assume
no responsibility with respect to the right of any Underwriter or other person
to offer or to sell Securities in any jurisdiction, not withstanding any
information which you may furnish as to the jurisdictions under the securities
laws of which it is believed the Securities may be sold.
17. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.
18. Capital Requirements. We confirm that the incurrence
by us of our obligation under this Agreement and under the Underwriting
Agreement will not place us in violation of the net capital requirements of
Rule 15c3-1 under the 1934 Act or of any applicable rules relating to capital
requirements of any securities exchange to which we are subject.
19. Miscellaneous. Any notice from you to us shall be
deemed to have been duly given if telefaxed, telephoned or telegraphed, and
confirmed by mail to us at the address set forth in the Underwriters
Questionnaire furnished by us to you. Any notice from us to you shall be
deemed to have been duly given if telefaxed or telegraphed, and confirmed by
mail to you at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention:
Xxxxxx X. Xxxx.
We understand that you are a member in good standing of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). We hereby confirm
that we are actually engaged in the investment banking or securities business
and are either (i) a member in good standing of the NASD or (ii) a dealer with
its principal place of business located outside the United States, its
territories and its possession and not registered as a broker or dealer under
the 1934 Act who agrees not to make any sales within the United States, its
territories or its possessions or to persons who are nationals thereof or
residents therein (except that we may participate in sales to Selected Dealers
and others under Section 5 of this Agreement). We hereby agree that if we are
members of the NASD, we will comply with all of the provisions of the NASD
Conduct Rules. If we are a foreign dealer, we agree to comply with Rule 2740
of the NASD Conduct Rules. If we are a foreign dealer and not a member of the
NASD, we agree to comply with the NASD's interpretation with respect to
free-riding and withholding, as though we were a member of the
11
NASD, with the provisions of Rules 2730 and 2750 of the NASD Conduct Rules, and
to comply with Rule 2420 of the NASD Conduct Rules as that applies to a
non-member foreign dealer. In connection with sales and offers to sell
Securities made by us outside the United States, its territories and
possessions (i) we will either furnish to each person to whom any such sale or
offer is made a copy of the then current Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus, as the case may be, or inform such person that such Preliminary
Prospectus or Prospectus will be available upon request, and (ii) we will
furnish to each person to whom any such sale or offer is made such Prospectus,
advertisement or other offering document containing information relating to the
Securities or the Company as may be required under the law of the jurisdiction
in which such sale or offer is made. Any Prospectus, advertisement or other
offering document furnished by us to any person in accordance with the
preceding sentence and any such additional offering material as we may furnish
to any person (i) shall comply in all respects with the law of the jurisdiction
in which it is so furnished, (ii) shall be prepared and so furnished at our
sole risk and expenses and (iii) shall not contain information relating to the
Securities or the Company which is inconsistent in any respect with the
information contained in the then current preliminary Prospectus or in the
Prospectus, as the case may be.
We understand that, in consideration of your services in
connection with the public offering of the Securities, the Company has agreed
with you individually, and not as Representative of the Underwriters (a) to
sell to you the Representative's Warrants referred to in the Underwriting
Agreement for the sum of $10; (b) to pay to you a non-accountable expense
allowance referred to in the Underwriting Agreement; (c) to pay you a financial
advisory fee referred to in the Underwriting Agreement; and (d) to enter into
the Merger and Acquisition Agreement (the "M/A Agreement") referred to in the
Underwriting Agreement. In addition, you may, at your sole discretion, elect
to exercise the over-allotment option individually. We confirm to you that we
shall make no claim to the Representative's Warrants (or any offering of the
Company's securities related thereto, or any right to participate in any
capacity in any offering resulting therefrom), any rights related thereto, the
Company's securities underlying the Representative's Warrants, the
non-accountable expense allowance, the financial advisory fee, or, to the
over-allotment option to the extent you elect to exercise such option
individually, or the M/A Agreement. You confirm to us that we shall have no
obligation or liabilities with respect to the purchase of the Representative's
Warrants, the exercise thereof, the Company's securities underlying the
Representative's Warrants (or any offering of the Company's securities related
thereto, unless we shall subsequently agree to become an underwriter for, or
otherwise participate in any such offering) or the non-accountable expense
allowance, the financial advisory agreement, the M/A Agreement, or, the
over-allotment
12
option, to the extent you elect to exercise such option individually.
Please confirm that the foregoing correctly states the
understanding between us by signing and returning to us a counterpart hereof.
Very truly yours,
