The indemnity provided for in this Section 4.3 shall be independent of and in addition to any other indemnity provision of this Agreement and, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding [including Section 4.4B)(ii) hereof], shall survive indefinitely.

4.4           Conditions of Indemnification.  With respect to any actual or potential claim, any written demand, the commencement of any action, or the occurrence of any other event which involves any matter or related series of matters (a "Claim") against which a party hereto is due to be indemnified (the "Indemnified Party") by the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") under Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 hereof:

(A)           Promptly (and in no event no more than 30 days) after (i) Seller (if Seller are the Indemnified Party), or (ii) the President of the Buyer or the Project (if Buyer or the Project is the Indemnified Party) first receives written documents pertaining to the Claim, or if such Claim does not involve a third party Claim (a "Third Party Claim"), promptly (and in no event no more than 30 days) after (i) Seller (if Seller are the Indemnified Party), or (ii) the President of the Buyer or the Project (if Buyer or the Project is the Indemnified Party) first has actual knowledge of such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Claim in reasonable detail and stating the amount involved, if known, together with copies of any such written documents.

(B)           The Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim if the Indemnified Party fails to give the notice with respect thereto in accordance with Section 4.4(A) hereof.

(C)           If the Claim involves a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole cost, expense and ultimate liability regardless of the outcome, and through counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), to litigate, defend, settle or otherwise attempt to resolve such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if in the Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to select counsel of its own choosing, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party may elect, at any time and at the Indemnified Party's sole cost, expense and ultimate liability, regardless of the outcome, and through counsel of its choice, to litigate, defend, settle or otherwise attempt to resolve such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnified Party so elects (for reasons other than the Indemnifying Party's failure or refusal to provide a defense to such Third Party Claim), then the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, but such disposition will be without prejudice to any other right the Indemnified Party may have to indemnification under Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 hereof, regardless of the outcome of such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party fails or refuses to provide a defense to any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, through counsel of its choice, on behalf of and for the account and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim.  In any event, Buyer, the Project and Seller shall fully cooperate with each other and their respective counsel in connection with any such litigation, defense, settlement or other attempted resolution.

4.5           Taxes and Expenses.

(A)           Seller hereby covenant and agree to assume and pay all taxes arising from or relating to the transactions as contemplated by this Agreement.  Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, Seller shall be individually responsible for and shall personally pay all costs, liabilities and other obligations incurred by Seller in connection with the performance of and compliance with all transactions, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by Seller, including legal and accounting fees.  In no event shall any of such taxes, costs, liabilities or other obligations be paid by or incurred on behalf of the Project.

(B)           Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, Buyer will assume and pay all costs, liabilities and other obligations incurred by Buyer in connection with the performance of and compliance with all transactions, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by Buyer, including legal and accounting fees.

4.6           Exclusive Dealing.

(A)           Prior to the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not authorize or permit, and shall not allow the Project or any officer, director or employee of, or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of any of the foregoing, to (i) solicit or initiate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal (as herein defined) or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonable be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry about or proposal for the acquisition to purchase of a substantial amount of assets of the Project or any type of exchange offer or other offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning any equity interest in the Project, or any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of any material assets, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Project (or equity securities thereof) other than transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any other transaction the consummation of which would reasonable be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or materially delay the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or which would reasonably be expected to dilute materially the benefits to Buyer of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 2.0
ISCAN HYDRO-ELECTRIC PROJECT DESCRIPTION

 
Project:    
Rio Iscan
Type:    Run of the River
              
Location:   Guata, Olancho, Honduras
Status:
Pre Study

Potential:   4.0 MWh
Estimated Cost:  $ 10,000,000

US$ / MWh:  $ 2,500,000
Construction Start:  Pending
 
Project Detail:
 
The Rio Iscan Project (hereinafter the “Project”) is a 4,000 kWh (4.0 MWh) run of the river project.
 
The Project was originated by a group engineers from Honduras. Currently Minerco Resources is in negotiations to acquire up to 90% of the Project’s right, title and interest in consideration of restricted stock and cash.
 
The Project is located in the Department of Olancho, Honduras and has favorable topography. The basin is over 80 km² with good extension and encompasses several protected areas. The basin also enjoys an excellent state of forest conservation which helps maintain water volume and quality.
 
Based on the favorable basin, the Project is anticipated to produce 26,000 MWh of renewable power generation per year.
 
The Project is currently in the Application Phase of Development and is in the process of completing all studies and obtaining all necessary permits and approvals.
 
Project Status:

Completed:
Pre-study

In Process:
Feasibility Study, Environmental Impact Study

Remaining:
Topography Study, Interconnect Study, National Commission Energy (CNE) Approval, 20 Year Operations Contract, Community Approval, Municipal Approval, Land Purchase, Water Contract, Environmental License , Secretary of Natural Resources & Environment (▇▇▇▇▇) Final Approval, Interconnect Permit, PPA, Congressional Approval

Project Highlights:
 
The Project is certified for Carbon Development Mechanism (CDM) which translates to Carbon Emission Reduction (CER) Credits. CERs total over 16,000 tons CO2 per year from generation and forestation.

MINE-ISCAN ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
   Page 18
 
 
 
 

Based on ongoing measurements and the Project’s favorable basin, the Project will likely be capable of additional installed capacity (up to 6.0 MWh total). The conservative 4.0 MWh is based on the Project’s pre-Study.
