 Monarch Announces Launch of New Bank in OBX 
 CHESAPEAKE, Va., April 2, 2007 – Monarch Bank is launching a new community bank dedicated to the residents and businesses on the Outer Banks of North
Carolina. OBX Bank’s first office will be located in Kitty Hawk and is scheduled to open in May 2007, pending final regulatory approval. 
 “We are
very excited to open a sister bank in the Outer Banks market. There has not been a community bank started in this area that is truly focused on this great resort market,” says president and CEO William F. Rountree. “OBX Bank will swing the
pendulum back to the more traditional ways of banking embedded with the ‘locals serving locals’ philosophy.” 
 W. Ray White, an Outer Banks
native, Nags Head resident and Banking veteran with over 30+ years of experience, will serve as the chairman of the OBX Bank Board of Directors. The board will consist of local community and business leaders who know the Outer Banks market well.
White retired from his last position as regional president of a major bank in 2002, with roots that go back to Planters Bank. 
 “One major advantage to
banking with OBX Bank is that decision-making will be local. Because the bank is locally managed under a chairman and president, we can make lending decisions faster and on a personal basis since we know this market so well,” White states.

 White is active in community and state affairs serving as chairman of the Dare County ABC Board, first district commissioner of the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission and board member of Outer Banks Community Foundation, Dare Education Foundation and The North Carolina Aquarium Society. 

 The company recently leased a two-story; 5,000 square foot building on milepost 4.5 on the Bypass in Kitty Hawk, next to
the Beach Bread Company. The building is slated to be finished by May and should open with about 7 employees. Beyond banking, there are plans to offer mortgages and insurance and investment services. OBX Bank plans to open another Outer Banks office
in 2008. 
 OBX Bank will operate as a division of Monarch Bank, with OBX Bank clients having the ability to utilize all of Monarch’s locations in the
Hampton Roads area. Monarch Bank clients will also be able to do their banking at any OBX Bank office. Once open, OBX Bank will also have seven ATMs in Dare and Currituck Counties with the combined total of shared ATM’s of 50. OBX Bank will
also have access to the latest technology including online cash management, credit card services and remote deposit capture.

 Dr. Fred Warnaars 
 Aurelio Resources Corporation 
 5554 S. Prince Street, Suite 200 

Littleton, Colorado 80120 
 September 1, 2006 
 Dear Fred: 
 I am pleased to submit a proposal to Aurelio Resources
Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its affiliated companies (collectively “Company”) which will create a business relationship between Company and myself. This letter, when accepted by Company, will constitute an agreement between
Company and myself to enter into a relationship under the indicated terms and conditions. The parties understand that David Stafford Johnson (“DSJ”) will represent the Company and not its individual shareholders, directors or employees.
You should encourage each of those persons to seek independent counsel if and when potential conflicts arise among them, or between them and the interests of the Company. 
 Engagement and Services 
 Commencing on the date hereof, Company will retain DSJ to act as General Counsel to the
Company providing certain transaction assistance, legal assistance, general legal advisory assistance and for other business purposes. The parties understand and acknowledge that DSJ will make available to the Company up to twenty five
(25) hours per month of his available time for the provision of such services. Any time spent over twenty five hours will be billed at DSJ’s discounted hourly rate of $125 per hour. 
 For being available to the Company in the manner described in this letter, and for being willing to serve as a Board member of Company, Company agrees to issue DSJ two
hundred fifty thousand (250,000) restricted common shares of the Company and one hundred thousand (100,000) three year options to purchase additional common shares of the Company at an exercise price based on the initial placement price of
the Company (estimated to be approximately $0.40). The parties understand and acknowledge that the aforementioned restricted shares will not be issued to DSJ until the Board of the Company 

 
has determined that the ongoing land acquisition program of the company is completed which the Company contemplates will occur no later than the end of
October, 2006. For actual services provided, Company will pay DSJ a monthly retainer of $2500 plus the above hourly rate for hours in excess of 25 per month Company also agrees to pay DSJ any additional compensation as a Board member similar to
any additional compensation paid to other Board members. Company will also pay DSJ for reimbursable expenses within 30 days of submission of a statement. Travel, telephone, postage (including federal express and courier expenses), filing and
recording fees, copier and facsimile machine charges and other project specific expenses incurred by DSJ on behalf of Company will be paid by Company, in accordance with the foregoing schedule. The parties understand this monthly retainer is based
on the available hours as described above, and may be changed from time to time as actual time spent by DSJ on Company business changes. DSJ reserves the right to charge interest to the Company’s account at the rate of 1% per month on any
amounts not timely paid. Because DSJ works independently, he appreciates and depends upon prompt payment of invoices. 
 Term and
Termination 
 This Agreement is terminable upon delivery by either party to the other of notice in writing specifying such notifying party’s
intention to terminate and the effective date of such termination, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days from the date of notice. 
 Arbitration 
 Fortunately, disputes between DSJ and his clients are rare; nevertheless, I think it is prudent to address that contingency.
It is DSJ’s desire to resolve any disagreements as to fees or services performed by frank and amicable discussion with Company. If any dispute cannot be so resolved, in the interest of prompt, confidential and inexpensive resolution, Company
and DSJ agree that any disputes which may arise concerning the interpretation of the terms of this Agreement shall be resolved by the parties through binding arbitration. The parties agree to submit any issues in dispute to an arbitrator (or panel
of arbitrators) agreed by both parties in Denver, Colorado, with the arbitration governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association. 
 Provisions and Course of Dealing 
 No provision of this Agreement and no course of dealing between Company and DSJ shall be deemed to create
an employee, partnership, agency or joint venture arrangement or relationship. 
 Governing Law 
 This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. 

 Information and Cooperation 
 In connection with DSJ’s activities on behalf of Company, Company will furnish DSJ with such time, access to personnel and other cooperation as DSJ may reasonably request, to allow DSJ to provide services to the
Company effectively. Company will also provide DSJ all information and data concerning Company and any transaction contemplated by Company and will provide DSJ access to Company’s officers, directors, managers, employees, independent
accountants and legal counsel to facilitate information flow. Company represents and warrants that all information made available to DSJ, or contained in any prospectus or other offering memorandum, will be complete and correct in all material
respects and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the statements are made. Company
acknowledges and agrees that, in rendering the services hereunder, DSJ will be using and relying on the information provided to him by Company without independent verification or appraisal. DSJ therefore does not assume responsibility for the
accuracy or completeness of any information regarding Company. 
 Confidentiality 
 DSJ will not disclose to any third party any confidential or proprietary information regarding Company or its business plans or strategies, the financial nature of the
terms of this Agreement, or any information regarding the operations or any prospective investment by Company, without Company’s prior written consent or as required by law. DSJ further agrees not to use any confidential or proprietary
information provided to him by Company for any purpose other than assisting Company in completing the transactions of financings contemplated by Company in the context of its conveyance of confidential or proprietary information to DSJ. 

Indemnification 
 Because DSJ will be acting on
Company’s behalf, it is DSJ’s practice to receive indemnification. As such, DSJ would expect that Company agree to indemnify and hold DSJ harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or costs (and all actions in
respect thereof and any and all legal or other expenses incurred in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise), including the costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim, whether or
not in connection with litigation in which DSJ is a party, as and when it occurs, directly or indirectly caused by, relating to, based upon or rising out of DSJ’s acting for or on behalf of Company,. Company also agrees that DSJ will not have
any liability (whether direct or indirect) to Company for or in connection with DSJ’s engagement by Company. In all cases directly or indirectly relating to the obligations of Company to DSJ under this Agreement, DSJ shall have the right to
retain counsel of DSJ’s choice to represent him, and Company shall pay such fees and expenses of such counsel. Company shall be liable for any settlement of any claim against DSJ made with Company’s consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 

 Modifications, Amendments and Waivers 
 No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure from the provisions hereof will be effective unless the same shall be
in writing. Any such written waiver or consent will be effective only as to the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company understands that due to DSJ’s representation of other entities,
conflicts may arise between and among the Company and the other entities represented by DSJ. In such event, upon notice to the Company by DSJ, Company will deemed to have waived such conflicts unless it promptly notifies DSJ in writing of its
decision not to waive such conflicts. In any event, Company waives any conflicts which may arise from the entities listed below under the section styled “Disclosures”. 
 Successors and Assigns 
 The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
successors and/or assigns and affiliates of Company. DSJ shall not be entitled to assign this Agreement without the consent of Company. 
 Disclosures 
 Company acknowledges that DSJ currently serves as an advisor to Brain Matters, Inc., NYCON Resources Corporation, Tordal
Ventures, LLC, MyE Networks, Inc., Distinctive Brands, Inc., CheckFlix, Inc., and is a Professor at Metro State College, and may serve in director, officer, advisor and other capacities for other private and public entities during the term of this
Agreement, and that DSJ’s priority commitments of time may be to these other entities. Company agrees to exercise its best efforts to coordinate schedules and in all other respects work to accommodate these other commitments.
