Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 8, 2010, Seafarer Exploration, Inc. (“Seafarer”) entered into an Exploration Agreement with Tulco Resources, Ltd. (“Tulco”) which grants Seafarer the exclusive rights to explore, locate, identify, and salvage a possible shipwreck within the territorial limits of the State of Florida, off of Palm Beach County, in the vicinity of Juno Beach, Florida (the “Exploration Agreement”).
The Exploration Agreement is for a term of three (3) years, which such term may be renewed for an additional three (3) years upon expiration of the initial term, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties to the Exploration Agreement. Pursuant to the Exploration Agreement, Seafarer is to pay Tulco twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per calendar year during the term of the Agreement, subject to possible increases if the recovered items and conservation costs increase. As contemplated by the Exploration Agreement, the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (“FLDHR”) has the right to select up to 20% of the total value of recovered artifacts and treasure for the State's museum collection. After the FLDHR has selected those artifacts and treasure that it feels will complement its collection, then, pursuant to the Exploration Agreement, Seafarer and Tulco have agreed to split the remaining artifacts and treasure, fifty percent (50%) to Tulco and fifty percent (50%) to Seafarer.
Seafarer’s request for renewal of its and Tulco’s agreement with the FLDHR is still being reviewed by the FLDHR. Seafarer cannot conduct artifact recovery operations at the Juno Beach Wreck site unless such renewal is approved.
