(2)           The engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) between The Otto Law Group, PLLC (“OLG”) and the Company provides for legal services to be rendered by OLG to the Company on a periodic basis.  The Company has chosen to compensate OLG for legal services rendered, in part, by issuing 185,000 shares of the Company's common stock to David M.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

David M. Otto of The Otto Law Group, PLLC, which has prepared this Registration Statement and the opinion regarding the authorization, issuance and status of the securities, as fully-paid and non-assessable, covered by this Registration Statement, has represented the Registrant in the past on certain legal matters, and is the recipient and beneficial owner of 185,000 securities of the Company registered hereunder.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, that are incurred in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, known as a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of these actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification if the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.  The statute provides that it is not excluding other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS

The Exhibits required to be filed as part of this Registration Statement are listed in the attached Index to Exhibits and incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

(A)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation  of  Registration  Fee” table in this Registration Statement;

(iii)  To include any  material information  with  respect  to  the  plan  of distribution  not  previously  disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the  Registrant  pursuant  to Section 13 or Section  15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2)  That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment  shall be  deemed to be a new  registration statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  bona fide offering thereof.

(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(B)           The  undersigned Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that,  for  purposes  of determining  any  liability under the Securities Act, each  filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

5


(C)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by  controlling  precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the  final adjudication of such issue.

Re:
Engagement of The Otto Law Group, PLLC

Dear Mr. Tyab:

This engagement agreement (“Agreement”) confirms the principal terms under which Mogul Energy International, Inc. (“Mogul Energy”) agrees to engage The Otto Law Group, PLLC (“Otto Law”).  Under this Agreement, Otto Law will assist Mogul Energy with various matters including, without limitation, the following:

 
1.
Providing legal advice with respect to Mogul Energy’s corporate transactions, securities filing requirements, anticipated financing and other general business matters;

 
2.
Providing legal advice and assisting with certain securities issues, corporate finance issues and investor issues;

 
3.
Providing legal advice with respect to contemplated potential corporate transactions, related business transactions, intellectual property and other general business matters; and

 
4.
Providing any other legal advice or analysis as requested by Mogul Energy.

In connection with the provision of the foregoing services, Otto Law and Mogul Energy agree to the following compensation arrangement:

 
1.
Engagement.  Mogul Energy shall engage Otto Law for legal services required in connection with certain corporate governance, corporate finance, regulatory compliance, securities, contractual and other matters related to Mogul Energy’s operations and financing.

 
2.
Retainer.  Mogul Energy agrees to pay Otto Law a retainer equal to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Retainer”).  Mogul Energy further agrees to deliver to Otto Law full payment of the Retainer within thirty (30) days of Mogul Energy’s execution of this Agreement.  To the extent the Retainer is expended, the amount on deposit as retainer shall always equal $10,000 in cash.  Subject to filing of Mogul Energy’s 15c2-11 information statement and the successful establishment of a market for Mogul Energy stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other public exchange, and in accordance with paragraph 4 below, Mogul Energy may issue to Otto Law Common Stock of Mogul Energy registered on SEC Form S-8 (“S-8 Common Stock”) as payment to replenish the $10,000 retainer amount to the extent the Retainer is expended.

 
 

 

 
3.
Common Stock.  Pursuant to paragraph 2 above, Mogul Energy agrees to issue to Otto Law the equivalent of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) in common stock of Mogul Energy, to be registered on Form S-8.  The value of the stock will be determined by the average of the closing “bid” and “ask” price over the ten-day period prior to the issuance.  Otto Law shall use the S-8 Common Stock or the proceeds thereof to replenish the Retainer for payment of Otto Law’s services.  On a monthly basis, the Otto Law Group shall provide Mogul Energy with an invoice summarizing Otto Law’s services provided to Mogul Energy and shall sell that portion of the S-8 Common Stock (or remaining S-8 Common Stock) sufficient to reimburse Otto Law for its services.  Should, at any time during which this Agreement remains in force, the cumulative value of the S-8 Common Stock fall below that value required to reimburse the Otto Law for legal services actually performed and/or below $10,000 and if, at the time of such deficit, the parties reasonably anticipate Otto Law’s performance of additional services in excess of the cumulative value of the remaining S-8 Common Stock, Mogul Energy agrees to issue to the Otto Law additional S-8 Common Stock equivalent in value to the greater of $10,000 or the value for services actually performed.

 
4.
Hourly Rates.  Mogul Energy agrees to pay Otto Law and Otto Law shall bill Mogul Energy on an hourly basis at Otto Law’s prevailing rates and according to Otto Law’s usual and customary charges (the “Hourly Fees”).  Otto Law’s minimum billing unit for all services is one quarter of one hour.  The current hourly rates are as follows: the rate for senior attorneys are $275.00 to $450.00 per hour, the rate for associates are $195.00 to $250.00 per hour, and the rate for non-attorney members of Otto Law staff are $125.00 to $150.00 per hour.  The rates are subject to change and any such change will be reflected on the monthly billing statements.  In the event of a change in rates, Mogul Energy consents to such change without notice.

 
5.
Expenses and Costs.  In addition to Hourly Fees, Otto Law may incur various costs and expenses in performance of the services under this Agreement.  Mogul Energy agrees to timely pay all such costs, disbursements and expenses.  Generally these costs include, but are not limited to, registration entity filing fees, court filing fees, mailing costs, outside copy services, long distance telephone charges, Lexis-Nexis fees (online legal research tool), travel expenses, fees associated with litigation services, if any, and any and all other hard costs incurred (“Hard Costs”).  The parties further agree that these Hard Costs, when incurred, will be itemized on Mogul Energy’s monthly billing statements and deducted from the Retainer as needed.  Upon exhaustion of the Retainer, Mogul Energy agrees to pay all further Hard Costs that may be incurred prior to Otto Law performing further legal services that may require the payment of any Hard Cost.  In the event that Otto Law does not receive the payments necessary to cover Hard Costs from Mogul Energy, Otto Law is not obligated to pay the Hard Costs, nor is Otto Law obligated to perform further legal services that may require the payment of any Hard Costs.

 
 

 

 
6.
Billing Statements.  Otto Law will post to Mogul Energy monthly billing statements for Hard Costs and Hourly Fees.  Each statement is payable within thirty (30) days.  The statements will include the amount due, including any Hard Costs, the rate and description of services.  If not paid within thirty (30) days, late charges will be assessed at one percent (1%) of the outstanding balance due.

 
7.
Modification.  This Agreement may only be modified by subsequent written agreement signed by Otto Law and Mogul Energy.

 
8.
Entire Agreement.  This Agreement represents the parties entire agreement and supersedes any and all prior agreements, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral, between Mogul Energy and Otto Law.

 
9.
Effective Date.  This Agreement will govern all legal services performed by Otto Law on behalf of Mogul Energy commencing with the date Otto Law first performed such services.  The date indicated on this Agreement is for reference only.

We look forward to working together and helping you achieve your financial and business objectives.  If the proposed terms are acceptable, please sign below and return an executed copy of this Agreement to Otto Law.

 
Very truly yours,

Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns, any remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any term, covenant or condition hereof, as third party beneficiaries or otherwise, and all of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.

11. Cumulative Obligations. Each Party’s obligations hereunder are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any and all of its other obligations and duties to the other party, whether express, implied, in fact or in law.

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the matters discussed herein and shall not be amended or modified except by written instrument duly executed by each of the Parties hereto. Any and all previous agreements and understandings between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement.

13. Dispute Resolution. The Parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to the principle of conflict of laws. All actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement shall be brought and litigated exclusively in the courts located in King County, Washington. The aforementioned choice of venue is intended by the Parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature, precluding litigation between the Parties with respect to any issue arising out of this Agreement in any jurisdiction other than that specified in this paragraph. Each Party hereby waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph, and stipulates that the courts located in King County, Washington shall have personal jurisdiction over each of them for the purpose of litigating any dispute, controversy, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. Each Party hereby authorizes and accepts service of process sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this paragraph by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address specified on the last page of this Agreement or such other address as either party may have given to the other in writing. Any final judgment rendered against a Party in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive as to the subject of such final judgment and may be enforced in other jurisdictions in any manner provided by law. The prevailing Party in a dispute brought in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
