EXHIBIT A


INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS









GOLD AMERICAN MINING CORP ("SILA") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless DANZIG(“DANZIG”), its officers, employees and authorized agents (collectively, “DANZIG”) against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (incurred in any and all actions, suits, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof and any and all legal and other costs, expenses and disbursements in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise), including without limitation, the costs, expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection with any action in which DANZIG is a party), directly or indirectly, caused by, relating to, based upon, arising out of, or in connection with DANZIG's acting as a consultant for the SILA(other than those caused by, relating to, based upon, arising out of, or in connection with DANZIG's gross negligence or willful misconduct), under the Agreement dated February 25, 2013, between SILA and DANZIG to which these indemnification provisions are attached and form a part (the “Agreement”).







Such indemnification does not apply to acts performed by DANZIG, which are in criminal in nature or a violation of law. SILA also agrees that DANZIG shall not have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, or otherwise) to SILA, for, or in connection with, the engagement of DANZIG under the Agreement, except to the extent that any such liability resulted primarily and directly from DANZIG's gross negligence or willful misconduct.







These indemnification provisions shall be in addition to any liability which SILA may otherwise have to DANZIG or the persons indemnified below in this sentence and shall extend to the following:  DANZIG, its affiliated entities, partners, employees, legal counsel, agents and controlling persons (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and the officers, directors, employees, legal counsel, agents, and controlling persons of any of them (collectively, the “DANZIG Parties”).  All references to DANZIG in these indemnification provisions shall be understood to include any and all of the foregoing.







If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which any of the DANZIG Parties propose indemnification under the Agreement, they shall notify SILA with reasonable promptness; provided however, that any failure by the party seeking indemnification to notify SILA shall not relieve SILA from its obligations hereunder.  The DANZIG Parties shall have the right to retain counsel of their own choice (which shall be reasonably acceptable to SILA) to represent them, and SILA shall pay fees, expenses and disbursements of such counsel; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with SILA and any counsel designated by SILA. SILA shall be liable for any settlement of any claim against the DANZIG Parties made with SILA's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. SILA shall not, without the prior written consent of the party seeking indemnification, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any claim, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to the party seeking indemnification of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim.


 




  





9











  











In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to these indemnification provisions is made but it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then SILA, on the one hand, and DANZIG, on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements to which the indemnified persons may be subject in accordance with the relative benefits received by SILA, on the one hand, and DANZIG, on the other hand, and also the relative fault of SILA, on the one hand, and DANZIG, in the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements and the relevant equitable considerations shall also be considered.  No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.







Neither termination nor completion of the engagement of DANZIG referred to above shall effect these indemnification provisions which shall then remain operative and in full force and effect.
