The validity of the common stock has been passed upon by Krys Boyle

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other
arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of the
Company is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he
may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:
(a) The Company has the power under the Colorado Business Corporation
Act to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of the Company or was serving at its request in a similar
capacity for another entity, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection therewith if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful. In case of an action brought by or in the right of the
Company such persons are similarly entitled to indemnification if they acted in
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of
the Company but no indemnification shall be made if such person was adjudged to
be liable to the Company for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his
duty to the Company unless and to the extent the court in which such action or
suit was brought determines upon application that despite the adjudication of
liability, in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnification. In such event, indemnification is
limited to reasonable expenses. Such indemnification is not deemed exclusive of
any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under the Articles
of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise.
(b) The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company generally
allow indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent allowed by
law.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.
Exhibits
4.1 Worldwide Petromoly, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
5.1 Opinion of Krys Boyle Freedman & Sawyer, P.C. regarding the legality
of the securities being registered by the Registrant.
23.1 Consent of Krys Boyle Freedman & Sawyer, P.C. (included in Exhibit
5.1 hereof)
23.2 Consent of BKD, LLP
23.3 Consent of Jackson & Rhodes P.C.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(a) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the Registrant'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 the 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.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant 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 Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
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 Registrant 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
