Re:
Indemnity Agreement that is Exhibit D to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), among flexSCAN, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“flexSCAN”); Fuel Corporation of America, a Nevada corporation (“FCA” or the “Company”); and a newly formed Delaware corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCA (“Merger Sub”), and payment of the sum of $550,000 to Tryant LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tryant”)

Gentlemen:

In partial consideration of the closing of the Reorganization Agreement and the delivery of this Indemnity Agreement, for the sum of $550,000 to be paid by flexSCAN and/or FCA to Tryant, $25,000 of which has already been deposited into the Trust Account of Leonard W. Burningham, Esq., counsel for FCA, payable as follows: $325,000 on the Closing of the Merger Agreement (as defined therein), which includes the $25,000 presently on deposit in the Trust Account of counsel for FCA; and $225,000 pursuant to the attached Promissory Note of FCA and flexSCAN.

Subject to payment of the foregoing amounts when the same shall become due, Tryant agrees to pay and indemnify the Company and flexSCAN with respect to any and all past liabilities of any type or nature whatsoever of the Company existing at or arising out of any act or occurrence prior to the Closing of the Merger Agreement and all other related agreements, and which will include but are not limited to the expenses of the Company related to the Closing of the Merger, those expenses owed to Tryant for advances, loans or services or any and all other expenses whatsoever that were incurred prior to Closing.

As a further condition to the execution and delivery of this Indemnity Agreement, and as a condition of Tryant to the Closing of the Merger Agreement, FCA and flexSCAN agree not to effect a reverse split of the outstanding common stock of FCA (or any successor) for a period of 24 months from the Closing of the Merger Agreement. The parties hereto agree that in the event of such a reverse split during such 24 month period, that as liquidated damages and not as a penalty by reason of the fact that the parties cannot quantify the amount or extent of the damages that may be suffered by Tryant as a result thereof, that Tryant, only to the extent that it still owns any of the shares that it owned at the Closing of the Merger (or its designees if it has made any private transfers of such shares and only to the extent that such shares are still then owned by such designees), shall be issued additional fully-paid shares of common stock of FCA in amount sufficient to bring its holdings back to the pre-reverse split number of shares owned, without qualification.
