Court for the District of Utah against 21 defendants including F10 Oil & Gas
Properties, Inc., Xxx X. Xxxxxx, the former Chief Executive Officer of F10, Xxxx
X. Xxxxx, the former President of F10, Xxx X. Xxxxxx, a consultant to F10 and
Grateful Internet Associates, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company owed by
Xxx X. Xxxxxx. The complaint alleges that overseas investors were defrauded by a
scheme organized by defendants Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Sukumo Ltd. to
sell securities in five United States-based issuers including F10. F10, with its
former officers Xxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxxxx, are alleged to have made false

injunction against all defendants including F10 and its former officers, Xxx X.
Xxxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxxxx, including the return of "ill gotten" gains, and seeks
asset freezes against 16 of the defendants including F10 and its former
officers.
F10's bank account with a balance of approximately $60,000 is
currently frozen.
The court has scheduled a December 2003 hearing on the SEC's
application for a preliminary injunction.
GFY hereby acknowledges full knowledge of this current action by the
SEC.

shares.
(d) The approval of corporate resolutions to increase the number

date of the execution of this Agreement) would have been required to be set
forth or disclosed in or pursuant to this Agreement or an Exhibit hereto, which
(if existing and known at any time prior to or at the Closing) would make the
performance by any party of a covenant contained in this Agreement impossible or

cause a condition to any party's obligations under this Agreement not to be

MISCELLANEOUS
ss.8.01 BROKERAGE FEES

the Indemnitees against and in respect of any and all claims, suits, actions,
proceedings (formal or informal), investigations, judgments, deficiencies,

arising out of or based upon such claim by such person, and GFY and the

pertaining thereto as it or he may reasonably deem appropriate at the cost and

any such suit, action, or proceeding (in which F10 and all Indemnitees made a
defendant therein or a party thereto were afforded the opportunity to have their
counsel participate in the defense) that F10 or any Indemnitee made a defendant
therein or a party thereto was the sole employer of such broker or finder or
services were performed solely for F10 or any Indemnitee made a defendant
therein or a party thereto, then GFY and the SHAREHOLDERS shall not be

Since a breach of the provisions of this Agreement could not adequately
be compensated by money damages, any party shall be entitled, either before or
after the Closing, in addition to any other right or remedy available to it, to
an injunction restraining such breach or a threatened breach and to specific
performance of any such provision of this Agreement, and in either case no bond
or other security shall be required in connection therewith, and the parties
hereby consent to the issuance of such an injunction and to the ordering of
specific performance.
ss.8.04 SURVIVAL
The covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained in
or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of two
(2) years and any delivery of the purchase price by F10, irrespective of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any party. The statements contained in any
other document executed by GFY, the SHAREHOLDERS or the SHAREHOLDERS relating

contemplated hereby or thereby, or in any statement, certificate, or other
instrument delivered by or on behalf of GFY, the SHAREHOLDERS or the
