THIS SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “Settlement Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 16, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Sonora Resources Corp. (the “Company”) and Jamco Capital Partners, Inc. (“Jamco”).

 

 

WHEREAS, Jamco entered into a Consulting Agreement dated July 15, 2011; and

 

 

WHEREAS, the Company owes Jamco $54,000 under the Consulting Agreement; and

 

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Jamco wish to cancel the Consulting Agreement and resolve and settle the $54,000 obligation due by the Company under the Consulting Agreement by issuing 1,040,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in full settlement of the $54,000;

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Jamco hereby agree as follows:

 

 

1. Payments in Satisfaction of $54,000 Obligation.  For and in consideration of the release and agreements set out in this Settlement Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

Within three business days of the execution and delivery of this Settlement Agreement by both parties, the Company shall issue a certificate for 1,040,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. All such shares shall be deemed fully paid upon issuance by the Company.  Jamco acknowledges that the shares will carry a legend restricting their resale except pursuant to an available exemption under applicable securities laws.  The Company agrees that it will use its best efforts to promptly remove such legend at the request of Jamco at such time as the shares are transferable under applicable securities laws.

 

2. Satisfaction of $54,000 Obligation.  Jamco hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Stock Payments shall constitute full and complete satisfaction of all of the $54,000.

 

3. Mutual Non-disparagement.  Each of the Company and Jamco agrees to refrain from making any oral or written statements to any third parties that are disparaging of the other party.

 

4.           Mutual Release.  For and in consideration of the agreements set out in this Settlement Agreement, and conditioned upon the Company’s satisfaction of the $54,000 Obligation by making the payments set forth in Section 1 above, each of the Company and Jamco (each a “Releasing Party”), and any other person or entity who could claim through either of said parties, including but not limited to, their officers, directors, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit, and forever discharge the other party, its successors, assigns, agents, representatives and attorneys (each a “Released Party” and collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, or liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, now existing or arising in the future, at law or in equity, which the Releasing Party ever had or may now have against the Released Parties, including without limitation, any claims, demands, or liabilities (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) arising out of or relating to any of the $54,000 obligation (except for claims arising under this Settlement Agreement).  It is the parties’ intention to fully and finally settle and release each other from any matters and claims relating to the $54,000 obligation, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any additional or different claims or facts.

Each of the Company and Jamco expressly waives any and all rights which it/he may have under any foreign law or any federal statute, state law or common law principle that would otherwise limit the effect of this Settlement Agreement to claims known or suspected as of the date on which the parties execute this Settlement Agreement.  For the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of all Released Parties hereunder, each Releasing Party expressly acknowledges that this Settlement Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which each Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Settlement Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of any and all such claim or claims.

7.           Indemnification.  Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, assessments, penalties, judgments, awards, and other liabilities (collectively, “Liabilities”), and will fully reimburse the other party for any and all fees, costs, expenses and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”), as and when incurred, including  defending any claim, action, suit or proceeding, caused by, relating to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any breach by such first party’s obligations under this Settlement Agreement.

 

 

8.           Attorneys’ Fees.
