TRANSFER
AND ASSIGNMENT OF ASSETS AND
ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS
This
Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of
Obligations (“Transfer
and Assumption Agreement”) is made as of September 11, 2008, by Hammer
Handle Enterprises Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Assignor”), and Cove
Park Enterprises Ltd, an Alberta Corpration, (“Assignee”).
WHEREAS,
Assignor is engaged in the business of mining exploration in British Columbia,
and has acquired a 100% interest in the “Pinto” mineral claims, which is
comprised of three contiguous British Columbia mineral tenures occupying an
aggregate of 230 hectares or 569 acres of land located near Grand Forks, British
Columbia (the “Business”);
and
WHEREAS,
Assignor desires to divest, convey, transfer and assign to Assignee, and
Assignee desires to acquire from Assignor, all of the assets of Assignor
relating to the operation of the Business, and in connection therewith, Assignee
has agreed to assume all of the liabilities of Assignor relating to the
Business, and to indemnify Assignor on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as
follows:
Section
1. Assignment.
1.1. Assignment
of Assets. For $2,000, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by
Assignor, Assignor does hereby assign, grant, bargain, sell, convey, transfer
and deliver to Assignee, and its successors and assigns, all of Assignor’s
right, title and interest in, to and under the assets, properties and business,
of every kind and description, wherever located, real, personal or mixed,
tangible or intangible, owned, held or used in the conduct of the Business (the
“Assets”),
including, but not limited to, the Assets listed on Exhibit A
hereto.
1.2 Further
Assurances. Assignor shall from time to time after the date
hereof at the request of Assignee and without further consideration execute and
deliver to Assignee such additional instruments of transfer and assignment,
including without limitation any bills of sale, assignments of leases, deeds,
and other recordable instruments of assignment, transfer and conveyance, in
addition to this Transfer and Assumption Agreement, as Assignee shall reasonably
request to evidence more fully the assignment by Assignor to Assignee of the
Assets.
Section
2. Assumption.
2.1 Assumed
Liabilities. As of the date hereof, Assignee hereby assumes
and agrees to pay, perform and discharge, fully and completely, (i) all
liabilities, commitments, contracts, agreements, obligations or other claims
against Assignor, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, accrued or
unaccrued, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to become
due, and whether contractual, statutory, or otherwise associated with the
Business or operations of Assignor prior to the date hereof (the “Liabilities”),
including, but not limited to, the Liabilities listed on Exhibit
B.
2.2 Further
Assurances. Assignee shall from time to time after the date
hereof at the request of Assignor and without further consideration execute and
deliver to Assignor such additional instruments of assumption in addition to
this Transfer and Assumption Agreement as Assignor shall reasonably request to
evidence more fully the assumption by Assignee of the Liabilities.
Section
3. Indemnification.
3.1 Indemnification. Assignee
covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Assignor,
and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives
and affiliates (collectively, together with Assignor, the “Assignor Indemnified
Parties”) at all times from and after the date of this Transfer and
Assumption Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims,
actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and
expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third party
claim and regardless of any negligence of any Assignor Indemnified Party
(collectively, “Losses”), incurred by
any Assignor Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i) any breach or
nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Assignee under this
Transfer and Assumption Agreement, or (iii) the Assets, the Liabilities or the
Business.
3.2 Third
Party Claims. If any claim or liability (a “Third-Party Claim”)
should be asserted against any of the Assignor Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitee”) by a
third party for which Assignee has an indemnification obligation under the terms
of Section 3.1 above, then the Indemnitee shall notify Assignee (the “Indemnitor”) within
20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said
notification being referred to as a “Claim Notice”) and
give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of
the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and
to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and in connection therewith and
to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or
appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations,
proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party
Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the
defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim
Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the
conduct of such defense, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the
Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as
the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such
Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all
settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the
defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in
Section 3.3 below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any
settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give
the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability
except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely
prejudiced by such failure.
3.3 Failure
to Assume. If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the
defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim
Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue
such defense until the final resolution of such
Third-Party
Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such
manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party
Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate. The
Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all
settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party
Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor
shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim
before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or
otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party
Claim.
3.4 Non-Third-Party
Claims. Upon
discovery of any claim for which Assignee has an indemnification obligation
under the terms of this Section 3 which does not involve a claim by a third
party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to
Assignee of such claim and, in any case, shall give Assignee such notice within
30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing
notice to Assignee shall not excuse Assignee from any indemnification liability
except to the extent that Assignee is materially and adversely prejudiced by
such failure.

Section
6. Counterparts. This Transfer and Assumption
Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be
deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

of an amendment, by each party to this Transfer and Assumption Agreement, or in
the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

8. Successors
and Assigns. The

(including by operation of Law) any of its rights or obligations under this
Transfer and Assumption Agreement without the consent of each other party
hereto.

Party Beneficiaries. This Transfer and Assumption Agreement is for the
sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns

any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder
of the provisions of this Transfer and Assumption Agreement (or the application
of such provision in other jurisdictions or to persons or circumstances other

way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any such provision will be restricted in applicability or
reformed to the minimum extent required for such provision to be enforceable.
This provision will be interpreted and enforced to give effect to the original
written intent of the parties prior to the determination of such invalidity or
unenforceability.
