RE: Legal Services

 

Greetings:

 

The purpose of this letter is to memorialize the fee agreement between Focus
Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (“CLIENT”), and
Weed & Co. L.C., a professional corporation formed in California (“Law Firm”).

 

Commencing June 3, 2013, Law Firm shall render legal services for a fixed
monthly fee of $10,000, payable monthly. Law Firm makes no promises or
guarantees regarding the outcome of matters upon which Law Firm is engaged to
represent CLIENT.

 

To protect both of the parties and to comply with professional obligations, we
have already discussed with each other and resolved any potential conflicts of
interest with present or former clients. The services that Law Firm will provide
shall be in accordance with the following terms and conditions. We advise you to
seek the advice of independent counsel before signing this agreement.

 

Professional Fees

 

Fees will be based upon the reasonable value of Law Firm’s services as
determined in accordance with the American Bar Association Model Code of
Professional Responsibility and the California & Texas Rules of Professional
Conduct. Fees will be based on the rates charged by Law Firm.

 

Law Firm’s rate is $400 per hour. It is anticipated that CLIENT and Law Firm
will agree on a fixed fee for special projects from time to time. The fixed fee
arrangements for special projects will be agreed to in writing. Law Firm's fees
will be paid in cash and as follows:

 

Initial Retainer

 

To insure the availability of Law Firm and to increase Law Firm’s proprietary
interest in the success of CLIENT, thereby encouraging the Law Firm to maintain
the relationship with CLIENT, CLIENT grants Richard O. Weed, as designee for Law
Firm 10,000,000 common stock purchase warrants. The warrants expire in 5 years
and grant the holder the right to purchase 5,000,000 common shares at $.10 per
share and 5,000,000 common shares at $.20 per share. The grant of the warrants
shall be treated as a pure retainer.

Costs and Expenses

 

CLIENT understands that in the course of representation, it may be necessary for
Law Firm to incur certain costs or expenses. CLIENT will reimburse Law Firm for
certain costs or expenses actually incurred and reasonably necessary for
completing the assigned matter, as long as the charges for costs and expenses
are competitive with other sources of the same products or services and approved
by CLIENT in advance. More particularly, CLIENT will reimburse Law Firm in
accordance with the following guidelines:

 

1. Computer-Related Expenses - CLIENT will reimburse Law Firm for computerized
research and research services. However, any charges over $500 per month will
require approval. CLIENT also encourages Law Firm to utilize computer services
that will enable Law Firm to more efficiently manage the projects.

 

2. Travel - CLIENT will reimburse Law Firm for expenses in connection with out
of town travel. However, CLIENT will only reimburse for economy class travel
and, where necessary, for the reasonable cost of a rental car. All related
travel expenses, i.e., lodging and meals, must be reasonable under the
circumstances.

 

3. Filing Fees & Court Costs - CLIENT will reimburse Law Firm for expenses
incurred in connection with filing fees and court costs, if any, but will not be
responsible for sanctions or penalties imposed due to the conduct of Law Firm.

 

CLIENT shall pay and hold Law Firm harmless from all such costs and expenses
incurred on CLIENT's behalf. Law Firm may, but shall not be obligated to,
advance funds on CLIENT's behalf. In such event, CLIENT agrees to reimburse Law
Firm upon demand for the amounts advanced. Substantial outside fees (such as
state filing fees or SEC filing services) may be referred to CLIENT for direct
payment.

 

Billing

 

All bills will include a summary statement of the kinds of services rendered
during the relevant period. CLIENT expects that Law Firm will maintain back-up
documentation for all expenses. CLIENT expects to be billed monthly or at the
conclusion of each project and agrees to pay Law Firm’s invoices within fifteen
days of receipt. Law Firm shall bill in increments of one-quarter (1/4) hour
unless otherwise agreed in writing.

 

Delay in Payment

 

In the event that any of Law Firm's bills remain unpaid for more than 60 days
after receipt by CLIENT, Law Firm shall have the right to discontinue rendering
further services to CLIENT in connection with any matter then being handled for
CLIENT by Law Firm and to take appropriate action to collect such fees.

Involvement of Client

 

CLIENT expects to be kept closely involved with the progress of Law Firm’s
services in this matter. Law Firm will keep CLIENT apprised of all material
developments in this matter, and will provide sufficient notice to enable a
representative to attend meetings, conferences, and other proceedings.

 

There may be times when Law Firm will need to obtain information from CLIENT.
All requests for access to documents, employees, or other information shall be
granted without unreasonable delay.

 

Termination

 

CLIENT shall have the right to terminate Law Firm’s engagement by written notice
at any time. Law Firm has the same right to terminate this engagement, subject
to an obligation to give CLIENT reasonable notice to permit it to obtain
alternative representation or services and subject to applicable ethical
provisions. Law Firm will be expected to provide reasonable assistance in
effecting a transfer of responsibilities to the new service provider.

 

Disputes

 

The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation of this
agreement, including all rules or codes of ethics that apply to the provision of
services. All disputes between us arising out of this engagement that cannot be
settled shall be resolved in a federal or state court located in Orange County,
California.

 

Sincerely yours,
