WHEREAS, Company is in the startup phase of its business seeking a second mortgage on commercial property owned by the Company ("Investments") from individuals or institutions; and

 

WHEREAS, Company desires to engage Finder to introduce to Company any potential investor or lender leads who make an Investment ("Investors"), and Finder desires to accept such engagement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Engagement.

 

(a)           Company hereby engages Finder, and Finder hereby accepts such engagement, to act as Company's non-exclusive finder with respect to Investors to make Investments during the Term, solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Company may in its sole discretion engage any other person or company to also find Investors.

 

Finder shall introduce Company to Investors, and perform such other responsibilities as reasonably directed by Company, including forwarding investment literature, but shall not be required to participate in any meetings or negotiations nor have authority to offer or sell Investments to any Investor.

 

(b)           The prices, terms and conditions under which Company shall agree to mortgage shall be determined by Company in its sole discretion. Company shall have the authority to control all discussions and negotiations regarding any proposed or actual offering or sale of Investments. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Company to consummate any transaction with any Investor. Company may terminate any negotiations or discussions at any time and has the right not to proceed without any liability or obligation to pay compensation to Finder under Section 2 or otherwise.

 

  
 

 

(c)           Finder shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Company, and any of its directors, officers or shareholders, against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorney fees, fees and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Agreement, incurred by Company, arising out or resulting from any claim of a third party related to its obligations under this Agreement.

 

2.             Compensation. In consideration for the services rendered by Finder hereunder, Company shall pay to Finder a ("Finder's Fee") on the completion of a $600,000 Second Mortgage. A Finder's Fee in the amount of 100,000 common shares of the Company will be paid.

 

3.             Independent Contractor. Finder is an independent contractor of Company, and this Agreement shall not be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee or agency relationship between Finder and Company for any purpose. Finder has no authority (and shall not hold itself out as having authority) to bind Company and Finder shall not make any agreements or representations on Company's behalf without Company's prior written consent. Without limiting the above, Finder will not be eligible to participate in any vacation, group medical or life insurance, disability, profit sharing or retirement benefits or any other fringe benefits or benefit plans offered by Company to its employees, and Company will not be responsible for withholding or paying any income, payroll, Social Security or other federal, state or local taxes, making any insurance contributions, including unemployment or disability, or obtaining worker's compensation insurance on Finder's behalf. Finder shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify Company against, all such taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest. Any persons employed or engaged by Finder in connection with the performance of Finder's obligations hereunder shall be Finder's employees or contractors and Finder shall be fully responsible for them and indemnify Company against any claims made by or on behalf of any such employees or contractors.

 

4.             Confidentiality. All non-public, confidential or proprietary information of Company, including, but not limited to, specifications, samples, patterns, designs, plans, drawings, documents, data, business operations, customer lists, pricing, discounts or rebates, disclosed by Company to Finder, whether disclosed orally or disclosed or accessed in written, electronic or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as "confidential," in connection with this Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions and the existence of this Agreement is confidential, solely for the use of performing this Agreement and may not be disclosed or copied unless authorized by Company in writing.
