AGF Realty Solutions LLC. On January 0xx, 0000, Xxxxxxxx entered into a Consulting Agreement with, inter alia, AGF Realty Solutions LLC, a non-licensed consultant based in Waterford Works, NJ (“AGF”).

While no claim has been legally launched by AGF against Aquiror, AGF claims to be owed the sum of approximately $83,000. Section 13 of the Consulting Agreement requires all disputes or controversies in connection with the Consulting Agreement to be submitted to an arbitration panel in Delaware.

SECTION 2.12 S.E.C. Enforcement/Xxxxx Notice.

S.E.C. procedures allow any recipient of a Xxxxx Notice to respond to S.E.C. staff prior to a formal recommendation being made by S.E.C. staff and, after two and one-half years of correspondence on this matter, on September 2, 2008, Acquiror received a letter from the S.E.C. advising Acquiror that “the investigation has been completed as to U.S. Canadian Minerals, Inc. against whom we do not intend to recommend any enforcement action by the Commission”.

The giving of consent by a Joint Venturer in any one instance shall not limit or waive the necessity to obtain such Joint Venturer's consent in any future instance.

SECTION 7.7 REMEDIES IN EQUITY.

The rights and remedies of any of the Joint Venturers hereunder shall not be mutually exclusive, i.e., the exercise of one or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise of any other provisions hereof. Each of the Joint Venturers confirm that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, the respective rights and obligations hereunder shall be enforceable by specific performance, injunction, or other equitable remedy, but nothing herein contained is intended to, nor shall it, limit or affect any rights at law or by statute or otherwise of any party aggrieved as against the other for a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, it being the intention by this Section to make clear the agreement of the Joint Venturers that the respective rights and obligations of the Joint Venturers hereunder shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or otherwise.

Each Joint Venturer (Indemnifying Venturer) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the other Joint Venturers and the Joint Venture harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, and rights of action (including attorneys fees and costs) that shall or may arise by virtue of anything done or omitted to be done by the Indemnifying Venturer (through or by its agents, employees, or other representatives) outside the scope of, or in breach of the terms of, this Agreement; provided, however, that the other Joint Venturers shall be notified promptly of the existence of any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action and shall be given reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense thereof. In the event that one Joint Venturer shall be held severally liable for the debts of the joint venture he shall be awarded contribution from the other Venturers so that each Joint Venturer shall only be obligated to pay that portion of such liability as shall be proportion to such Joint Venturers interest in the Joint Venture.
