5. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE VENDOR
5.01 The
Vendor hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:
(a)
|
it
is a company in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada
and
has the power and authority to enter into this
Agreement;
|
-2-
(b)
|
it
is the recorded and beneficial owner of a 100% interest in and to
the
Property and the Property is not subject to any liens or encumbrances
of
any kind whatsoever;
|
(c)
|
the
Claims set out in Schedule “A” and forming part of the Property have been
validly located and are now duly recorded and in good standing
substantially in accordance with the laws in effect in the jurisdiction
in
which they are situated;
|
(d)
|
the
entering into this Agreement does not conflict with any applicable
law nor
does it conflict with, or result in a breach of or accelerate the
performance required by, any contract or other commitment to which
it is a
party or by which it is bound;
|
(e)
|
it
has the exclusive right to enter into this Agreement and all necessary
authority to assign to the Purchaser all of its right, title and
interest
in and to the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this
Agreement;
|
(f)
|
the
Property is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and all
Claims
are in good standing with assessment work filed for, not less than
one
year following the Closing Date;
|
(g)
|
there
are no outstanding or, to the best of the Vendor’s information, knowledge
and belief, proposed, threatened or contemplated actions or suits
which,
if successful, would or could affect the market value or ownership
of the
Property or any portion thereof;
|
(h)
|
conditions
on and relating to the Property are in compliance with all applicable
laws, regulations and orders relating to environmental matters, including,
but not limited to, waste disposal and storage and the Vendor is
not aware
of any conditions with respect to the Property that could give rise
to
environmental claims that would impair the Purchaser’s title to the
Property;
|
-3-
(i)
|
there
are no reclamation liabilities to be carried out in the future,
outstanding work orders or actions required to be taken relating
to the
condition of the Property, or any operations that have been carried
out
thereon;
|
(j)
|
on
the Closing Date the Vendor will deliver to the Purchaser copies
of all
operating reports and other documents and or materials relating to
the
Property in the Vendor’s
possession.
|
(k)
|
the
Vendor has been informed as to, and is familiar with, the business
activities of the Purchaser and its affiliates, and has had an opportunity
and proceeded, or waived the opportunity, to (i) review the books
and
records of the Purchaser and its affiliates and to ask questions
of, and
receive answers from, appropriate representatives of the Purchaser
and its
affiliates concerning the Purchaser and its affiliates and the terms
and
conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) obtain and review all additional
information relating to the history and proposed business plan of
the
Purchaser and its affiliates that it deems
necessary.
|
(l)
|
the
Vendor fully understands that the Shares have not been registered
under
the Securities Act in reliance upon exemptions therefrom, and,
accordingly, to the extent that it is not supplied with the information
which would have been contained in a registration statement filed
under
the Securities Act, it must rely on its own access to such
information.
|
(m)
|
the
Vendor has had an opportunity to obtain and has obtained a general
and
complete understanding satisfactory to it of the Purchaser, its affiliates
and their services, potential assets, finances, and manner of doing
business sufficient to permit it to evaluate (i) the Purchaser and
its
prospects and (ii) the risks and merits of accepting the Shares on
payment
for the Property.
|
(n)
|
the
Vendor (i) recognizes that accepting the Shares involves risk, (ii)
has
carefully considered whether accepting he Shares is appropriate,
and (iii)
has obtained such individual financial, tax and legal advice as it
deems
|
-4-
necessary
or appropriate to fully understand the risks involved and to evaluate accepting
the Shares.
(o)
|
the
Vendor recognizes that it must bear the economic risk involved in
accepting the Shares for an indefinite period of time because, among
other
reasons, the Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act and
therefore cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed
of
unless (i) they are subsequently registered under the Securities
Act or
(ii) an exemption from such registration is available and an opinion
of
counsel acceptable to the Purchaser that the transfer is not in violation
of any federal securities act or state securities law is provided
to the
Purchaser.
|
(p)
|
the
Vendor recognizes that there is no current market for the Shares;
that
there can be no assurances that such a market will exist any time
in the
future and accordingly it may not be able to sell or dispose of any
of the
Shares even if it had held them for a number of years; that its right
to
transfer the Shares will be restricted by federal and state securities
laws and a legend to this effect will be placed on the certificates
representing the Shares and that such laws impose strict limitations
upon
such transfer; and the Purchaser is under no obligation in connection
with
the subsequent transfer thereof by it or to aid it in obtaining an
exemption from such registration.
|
(q)
|
the
Vendor acknowledges that the Share certificate representing the purchase
price shall be legended with a legend substantially in the following
form:
|
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE
ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITY UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND QUALIFICATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE
STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) AN
-5-
OPINION
OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. ANY PURPORTED
TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
IN ANY MANNER WHICH IS IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS IS INVALID
AND
THE COMPANY WILL NOT TRANSFER SUCH INVALIDLY TRANSFERRED SECURITY ON THE BOOKS
OF THE COMPANY.
5.02 The
representations and warranties hereinbefore set out are conditions upon which
the Purchaser has relied in entering into this Agreement and shall survive
the
Closing Date by a period of 24 months, except that the representation and
warranty of Vendor pursuant to Sections 6.01 (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) shall
survive indefinitely. The Vendor hereby indemnifies and saves the Purchaser
harmless from all loss, damage, costs, actions and suits arising out of or
in

contained in this Agreement.
6. REPRESENTATIONS

6.01 The

(a)
|
it
has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and
the entering into of this Agreement does not conflict with any applicable

result in
a breach of, or accelerate the performance required by any contract
or
other commitment to which it is party or by which it is
