Dear Mr. Machulak:



At today's Commerce Group Corp. (Commerce) Directors' meeting, the

Directors were informed about the annual confirmation, disclosure and

status letter from Commerce, its subsidiaries, its affiliates, and the

Joint Venture, and to establish and confirm the amount due and the

collateral pledged along with any other Commerce obligations or

agreements made to the Circular Marketing, Inc. (CMI) and to Edward A.

Machulak (EAM) both referred to as Lenders, as of Commerce's fiscal year

ended March 31, 2008.  Today, Commerce's Directors, by unanimous consent,

approved, ratified and confirmed the contents of this letter and

authorized me to submit its understanding of your status with Commerce,

which is as follows:



1.   Promissory Notes Due to CMI; None due to EAM.



The total amount of all of the open-ended, secured, on-demand

promissory notes (Notes) together with interest due to CMI is

$102,181.46 as of March 31, 2008.  Commerce has renewed this

promissory note as of March 31, 2008 and a copy is attached (Exhibit

A).  A schedule including all of the transactions pertaining to the

activities relating to this Note during this fiscal year ended March

31, 2008 is also attached (Exhibit A-1).  These Note(s) bear

interest, payable monthly, at the rate of 4% over the prime rate

published in the Wall Street Journal, but not less than 16% per

annum.  Commerce is no longer issuing monthly Notes for the payment

of interest, etc., but pursuant to our understanding, Commerce is

augmenting all additions and advances made by CMI, and it will

deduct any payments or credits made by Commerce to the current

open-ended, secured, on-demand, outstanding Notes issued or

obligations owed to CMI and Commerce will provide an annual

accounting and confirmation letter.

2.   Other Debts Due to CMI; None Due to EAM.



In addition to the promissory note, Commerce owes CMI for services

rendered such as the preparation, printing and mailing of Commerce's

Annual Report, and for other services, the following as of March 31,

2008:



Services:  mailings, annual report and other charges       $90,215.00

Service charges as of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008  22,995.05

-----------

Total                                                     $113,210.05



The service charges are based on a charge of 16% per year,

annualized at the end of each fiscal year pursuant to an attached

schedule (Exhibit B)



On May 9, 2005, Commerce's Directors authorized its Officers to

issue renewed annual note(s) (Exhibit B of the May 9, 2005

confirmation letter) so that the Lender will have a current

substituted dated debt instrument.  The Directors acknowledged that

the issuance of note(s) for each transaction are too cumbersome and

are not practicable to manage.  Also, the length of time involved

and the number of transactions make it impractical to devote the

time and effort to issue a note for each transaction.  However,

beginning with the fiscal year which ended March 31, 2007, the

Directors are including the following as Lender(s):  John E.

Machulak and Susan R. Robertson, husband and wife (M&R), the

Machulak, Robertson & Sodos, S.C. Law Firm (Law Firm), Circular

Marketing, Inc.  (CMI) and Edward A. Machulak as an individual

(EAM).  Therefore, the Directors have unanimously agreed to continue

to embrace this resolution which was adopted on May 9, 2005:



WHEREAS, in the past 20 years or more the following parties:

General Lumber & Supply Co., Inc. (GLSCO); Edward L. Machulak  as an

individual and not as a Director or Officer of Commerce (ELM); the

Edward L. Machulak Rollover Individual Retirement Account (ELM

RIRA), the Sylvia Machulak Rollover Individual Retirement Account

(SM RIRA), and Sylvia Machulak, as a consultant and as an individual

(SM), hereafter collectively and individually identified as the

Lender(s), have accounted for advancing cash funds, earning accrued

interest, and for appropriate credit which was reconciled to the

open-ended, secured, on-demand notes(s); and



WHEREAS, the Directors desire to minimize the record keeping in

these transactions without jeopardizing, diminishing, altering,

changing or losing any rights that the Lenders have by changing the

procedures in handling the recording of any notes(s) issued or to be

issued; and



<PAGE>



Mr. Edward A. Machulak

as President of Circular Marketing, Inc.

and as an individual

May 30, 2008

Page 3 of 10 Pages





WHEREAS, in order to provide an easier accounting facility by

renewing the notes(s) on an annual basis to coincide with the

Company's fiscal year (which presently ends on March 31) and to

incorporate said renewed note(s) with the annual confirmation

agreement(s); and



WHEREAS, prior to the change to issue substituted renewed

note(s), the initial promissory note(s) were considered to be

open-ended, secured, on-demand and the additions and deductions were

recognized by separate accounting records; therefore, be it



RESOLVED, That the Directors authorize and empower the

Officers to substitute and issue renewed consolidated

promissory note(s) at the end of each fiscal year beginning

with the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to the

following: General Lumber & Supply Co., Inc. (GLSCO); Edward L.

Machulak  as an individual and not as a Director or Officer of

Commerce (ELM); the Edward L.  Machulak Rollover Individual

Retirement Account (ELM RIRA), the Sylvia Machulak Rollover

Individual Retirement Account (SM RIRA), and Sylvia Machulak,

as a consultant and as an individual (SM), hereafter

collectively and individually identified as the Lender(s); and



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Officers of the Company

are authorized and empowered to assure the Lender(s) that by

substituting and consolidating the existing note(s) and issuing

the renewed note(s) on the last day of the Company's fiscal

year beginning with March 31, 2005 with the understanding that

the intention is that the Lender(s) will not jeopardize, lose,

diminish, risk, alter or change any rights, including the

pledge of collateral, that are inherent with the initial

note(s) by the issuance of annual renewed open-ended, secured,

on-demand promissory note(s); and



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Directors acknowledge

that the only purpose of the change and substitution to issue

annual renewed notes(s) is for the convenience, reduced

accounting and reducing the paperwork involved; and



BE IT FURTHER RESOVED, That the Officers are authorized

and empowered to perform any act that they deem necessary to

accommodate the purpose of issuing annual renewed note(s).

Robertson & Sodos, S.C. Law Firm (Law Firm), Circular Marketing,

Inc. (CMI) and Edward A.  Machulak as an individual (EAM) as of

March 31, 2008, pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Directors:



(1)  Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture (Joint Venture)



Both Commerce and San Sebastian Gold Mines, Inc. have assigned

all of the rights, title, claims, remedies and interest that

each has in the Joint Venture to the Lenders.  Reference is

made to Historical information - San Sebastian Gold Mine

Concession.



(2)  New SSGM Exploration Concession/License (New SSGM) -

approximately 40.7694 square kilometers (10,070 acres)

Government of El Salvador Resolution No. 27.



On October 20, 2002, the Company applied for the New SSGM,

which covers an area of 42 square kilometers and includes

approximately 1.2306 square kilometers of the Renewed SSGM.

The New SSGM is in the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Rosa

de Lima in the Department of La Union and in the Nueva Esparta

in the Department of Morazan, Republic of El Salvador, Central

America.  On February 24, 2003, the El Salvador Department of

Hydrocarbons and Mines (DHM) issued the New SSGM for a period

of four years starting from the date following the notification

of this resolution which was received on March 3, 2003.  The

New SSGM may be extended for two two-year periods, or for a

total of eight years.  Besides the San Sebastian Gold Mine,

three other formerly operative gold and silver mines known as

the La Lola Mine, the Santa Lucia Mine, and the Tabanco Mine

are included in the New SSGM and are being

explored.  The

Company has

complied as required by filing its annual activity report and

it paid the annual surface tax.  This concession had been

assigned collectively to all of the Lenders named herein on May

12, 2003 and the assignment was included in the May 12, 2003

confirmation agreement as Exhibit B.



(3)  Lease agreement by and between Mineral San Sebastian Sociedad

Anomina de Capital Variable (Misanse) and Commerce dated

January 14, 2003



The term of this lease agreement coincides with the term of the

Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession and

consists of 1,470 acres owned by Misanse.  This lease agreement

has been assigned to all of the Lenders named herein on May 12,

2003 and the assignment was included in the May 12, 2003

confirmation agreement as Exhibit B.



(4)  Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession/License

(Renewed SSGM) - approximately 1.2306 square kilometers (304

acres), Department of La Union, El Salvador, Central America

(pledged and assigned as collateral on May 10, 2004) Government

of El Salvador Agreement No. 591.



On September 6, 2002, at a meeting held with the El Salvadoran

Minister of Economy and the DHM, it was agreed to submit an

application for the Renewed SSGM for a 30-year term and to

simultaneously cancel the concession obtained on July 23, 1987.

On September 26, 2002, the Company filed this application.  On

February 28, 2003 (received March 3, 2003) the DHM admitted to

the receipt of the application and the Company proceeded to

file public notices as required by Article 40 of the El

Salvadoran Mining Law and its Reform (MLIR).  On April 16,

2003, the Company's El Salvadoran legal counsel filed with the

DHM notice that it believed that it complied with the

requirements of Article 40, and that there were no objections;

and requested that the DHM make its inspection as required by

MLIR Article 42.  The Company then provided a bond which was

required by the DHM to protect third parties against any damage

caused from the mining operations, and it simultaneously paid

the annual surface t ax.  On August 29, 2003 the Office of the

Ministry of Economy formally presented the Company with the

twenty-year Renewed SSGM which was dated August 18, 2003.  This

Renewed SSGM replaces the collateral that the same parties held

with the previous concession.  On May 20, 2004 (delivered June

4, 2004) the Government of El Salvador, under their Agreement

Number 591, extended the exploitation concession for a period

of 30 years.  A copy of the assignment dated May 10, 2004, is

attached to the May 10, 2004 confirmation letter as Exhibit B

and the Renewed SSGM agreement is attached to Exhibit B and

referred to as Exhibit 1.

(7)  Acknowledgment of collateral provided through March 31, 2008



Commerce's Directors have on May 30, 2008 authorized and

directed Commerce's Officers to assign all of the rights,

titles, claims, remedies and interest in all of its assets that

it has, including any assets owned by the Joint Venture, to

GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA, SM, and from March 31,

2007 to include M&R, the Law Firm, CMI and EAM, collectively

and individually referred to as Lenders, as additional

collateral for all of the outstanding loans and obligations as

of March 31, 2008, including all future advances of any kind.



4.   Cross Pledge Collateral Agreement



GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA and SM individually are

entitled to specific collateral that has been pledged to them by

Commerce, its subsidiaries, affiliates and the Joint Venture.  Upon

default by Commerce, or its subsidiaries or affiliates or the Joint

Venture, then GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA and SM have the

first right to the proceeds from the specific collateral pledged to

each of them.  Commerce, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and the Joint

Venture also have cross-pledged the collateral without diminishing

the rights of the specific collateral pledged to each of the

following:  GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA and SM.  The

purpose and the intent of the cross pledge of collateral is to

assure GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA, and SM, that each of

them would be paid in full; thus, any excess collateral that would

be available is for the purpose of satisfying any debts and

obligations due to each of the named parties.  The formula to be

used (after deducting the payments made from the specific

collateral) is to total all of the debts due to GLSCO, ELM, the ELM

RIRA, the SM RIRA, SM, and from March 31, 2007 to include M&R, the

Law Firm, CMI and EAM, and then to divide this total debt into each

individual debt to establish each individual's percentage of the

outstanding debt due.  This percentage then will be multiplied by

the total of the excess collateral to determine the amount of

proceeds each party should receive from the excess collateral.  Then

the amount due to each of them would be distributed accordingly.

5.   Cancellation of Inter-Company Debts Upon Default



Since certain of the collateral specifically or collectively pledged

to GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA, SM and from March 31, 2007

to include M&R, the Law Firm, CMI and EAM, consists of the common

stock of Homespan, Ecomm, Sanseb, SLE, Misanse, UDI and the interest

in the ownership of the Joint Venture, Commerce agreed, upon default

of the payment of principal or interest to any of the individual

Lender(s) mentioned herein, that it will automatically cancel any

inter-company debts owed to Commerce by any of its wholly-owned

subsidiaries or affiliates or the Joint Venture at such time as any

of the stock or Joint Venture ownership is transferred to the

collateral holders as a result of default of any promissory note.



6.   Guarantors



This agreement further confirms that Commerce and all of the

following are guarantors to the obligations due to CMI and/or EAM

and to the loans made by CMI and/or EAM to Commerce:  Joint Venture,

Homespan, Ecomm, SLE, Sanseb and UDI.  They jointly and severally

guarantee payment of the note(s) that they caused to be issued and

also agree that these note(s) may be accelerated in accordance with

the provisions contained in the agreement and/or any collateral or

mortgages securing these notes.  Also, Commerce, all of its

subsidiaries and the Joint Venture agree to the cross pledge of

collateral for the benefit of GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA,

SM, and from March 31, 2007 to include M&R, the Law Firm, CMI and

EAM.  Reference is made to Exhibit 5 included in the April 9, 1990

confirmation letter.



7.   Re-Execution Agreement(s)



In the event CMI and/or EAM deem that it is necessary or advisable

for CMI and/or EAM to have Commerce re-execute any document(s)

entered into, including, but not limited to the promissory note(s)

or collateral agreement(s), Commerce will re-execute such

document(s) reasonably required by CMI and/or EAM.  Commerce also

acknowledges that Commerce may be liable to pay certain costs

related to any of the transactions entered into with CMI and/or EAM.

If at a later date CMI and/or EAM determine that an error has been

made in the payment of such costs to CMI and/or EAM, then CMI and/or

EAM may demand payment and Commerce does hereby agree to make such

payment forthwith.  All requests for corrections of any errors

and/or payment of costs shall be complied with by Commerce within

seven (7) days of CMI's and/or EAM's written request.  The failure

of Commerce to comply with Commerce's





<PAGE>

as President of Circular Marketing, Inc.

Page 9 of 10 Pages





obligation(s) hereunder shall

constitute a default and shall entitle CMI and/or EAM to the

remedies available for default under any provisions of the

agreements including, but not limited to the promissory note(s)

and/or the collateral pledge agreement(s) and/or any other Commerce

obligation(s).



8.   Omissions



Commerce believes that it has included all of its obligations,

monies due and has listed all of the collateral due to CMI and/or

EAM, however, since these transactions have taken place over  a long

period of time in which changes could have taken place, it is

possible that inadvertently some item(s), particularly collateral,

could have been

omitted.  If that should prove to be a fact, then Commerce, the

Joint Venture, Homespan, Ecomm, SLE, Sanseb, and UDI agree that

those omissions of collateral, if any, are meant to be included as

collateral under this confirmation agreement.



If you are in agreement with the contents of this letter, please sign

below and return one copy to Commerce.



Very truly yours,

EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT 99.5



RENEWED PROMISSORY NOTE





Borrower: Commerce Group Corp.           Lender:  Circular Marketing, Inc.

6001 North 91st Street                  6001 North 91st Street.

Milwaukee, WI  53225                    Milwaukee, WI  53225



Principal Amount:      $102,181.46

Initial Rate:          4.000% + prime rate, but not less than 16.000%

Date of Renewed Note:  March 31, 2008



PROMISE TO PAY.  COMMERCE GROUP CORP. ("Borrower") promises to pay to

CIRCULAR MARKETING, INC. ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the

United States of America, the principal amount of One Hundred Two Thousand One

Hundred Eighty One and 46/100 Dollars ($102,181.46), together with

interest, paid monthly, on the unpaid principal balance from March 31,

2008, until paid in full.



PAYMENT.  This is an open-ended, secured, on-demand payment, renewed

promissory note.  Interest is to be paid monthly.  The Lender, at its

discretion, can add the monthly interest due to the principal balance.

Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be

applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; and then to principal.  The

annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that

is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360

days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the

actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding and the

interest is payable monthly.  Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's

address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in

writing.



VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.  The interest rate on this Note is subject to

change from time to time based on changes in the prime rate as quoted in

the Wall Street Journal plus two percent, but not less than sixteen

percent per annum.  Borrower understands that Lender may make loans to

the Borrower based on other rates as well.  The prime rate as of this

date is 5.250% per annum.  The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid

principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of 2.000 percentage

points over the prime rate, but not less than 16.000% per annum.  NOTICE:

Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than

16.000% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable

law.



PREPAYMENT.  Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the

amount owed earlier than it is due.  Early payments will not, unless

agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation

to pay on demand, the entire amount due.  Rather, any payment will reduce

the principal balance due.  Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments

marked "paid in full," "without recourse," or similar language.  If

Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of

Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to

pay any further amount owed to Lender.



INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon default, including failure to pay on

demand, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law,

increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 6.000 percentage

points over the prime rate or over the 16.000% rate, whichever is higher.

The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by

applicable law.



DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an event of default

("Event of Default") under this Note:



Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when demand is

made under this Note.



Other Defaults.  Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any

other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note

or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform

any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other

agreement between Lender and Borrower.





<PAGE>





Default in Favor of Third Parties.  Borrower or any Grantor defaults

under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or

sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other
