Exhibit 1.1
SOLICITING DEALER
AGREEMENT
SOLICITING DEALER AGREEMENT,
dated as of February 13, 2008 (“ Agreement
”), between NORTH AMERICAN ROYALTY CORP., a Maryland
corporation (the “ Company ”), and ALARON
FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., (the “ Agent
”). Each of the parties to this Agreement are referred to
herein as a “ Party ” and collectively as
the “ Parties. ”
BACKGROUND
The Company proposes to offer and sell a
minimum of 170,000 shares of Common Stock (the “
Minimum Offering Amount ”) and up to a maximum
of 800,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ Maximum
Offering Amount ”), the “ Shares
”), for a purchase price of $3.00 per Share (unless adjusted
by the mutual agreement of the Parties), pursuant to a registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“ Commission ”) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”) upon
the terms and subject to the conditions as set forth herein (the
“ Offering ”).
The Company has determined to use the
services of the Agent, including other securities dealers which may
be engaged to sell the Offering by virtue of an agreement with the
Agent, as its exclusive agent to solicit subscriptions for the
Shares on a “best efforts” basis for an offering period
which extends for six (6) months following the effective date
of the Registration Statement (defined below), provided however,
that if the Minimum Offering Amount is not sold within one hundred
twenty (120) days of the effective date of the Registration
Statement, the offering period, will end on the one hundred
twentieth day after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (the “ Offering Period ”). The
Agent hereby agrees to act in such capacity and to use its best
efforts to find purchasers for the Shares in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Additionally, the Agent may offer the
Shares on a wholesale basis to other qualified broker/dealers who
are members of the NASD (each a “ Selling Agent
” or “ Co-Underwriter ”), on the
offering date and subsequent thereto, subject to the foregoing and
on the conditions of a Selling Agency Agreement executed with the
Agent. A Selling Agent or a Co-Underwriter may offer Shares to the
public under the same terms and conditions as are established
herein and the laws and regulations of such jurisdiction wherein
such sale is transacted. Accompanying this Agreement is a copy of
the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (including
the Company’s Prospectus relating to the Offering) prepared
for use in conjunction with the offer and sale of the Shares (which
document as may be amended from time to time is herein referred to
as the “ Registration Statement
”).
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to
be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

The Company represents and warrants to

the respective subscribers therefor, the Shares will be validly

(c) When the Registration Statement
becomes effective, and at all times subsequent thereto, and
including the date of the Final Closing, and during such longer
period as the prospectus forming a part of the Registration
Statement (the “ Prospectus ”) may be
required to be delivered in connection with sales by the Agent, and
during such longer period until any post-effective amendment
thereto shall become effective, the Registration Statement (and any
post-effective amendment thereto) and the Prospectus (as amended or

with the Commission any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus) will
contain all statements which are required to be stated therein in
accordance with the Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder
(the “ Regulations ”), will comply with
the Act and Regulations, and will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to

statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

with respect to the Agent by or on behalf of the Agent expressly
for inclusion in any preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
Statement, or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement

(a Stop Order) suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, or any

sale of the Shares, or which, individually or in the aggregate,
would have a material adverse effect on the value of the assets or
the operation of the business of the Company.
(g) Except as otherwise disclosed in the
Registration Statement, all requisite authorizations, approvals or

administrative regulation or court decree (except to the extent
such conflict, breach or default would not have a material adverse
effect on the value of the assets or the operation of the business

(k) The Company represents and warrants
that the financial statements of the Company contained in or

consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby, and
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of the date
indicated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) have been made
which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of such
information for the periods presented. Except for the transactions
contemplated by the Registration Statement, there has been no
material adverse change in the condition of the Company, financial
or otherwise, from that set forth in the Registration Statement.
The accountants whose reports on the audited financial statements
are filed with the Commission as a part of the Registration

other compensation may be paid or awarded to the Agent in
accordance with this Agreement in connection with the sale of the
Shares as described in the Registration Statement.
(o) Any written or oral information
provided to prospective purchasers of Shares by authorized
representatives of the Company other than the Agent (“
Authorized Persons ”) will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or, when taken together with
the information set forth in the Registration Statement, omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
(p) The sale of the Shares has been duly

any Shares of the Company or any security convertible into such
Shares, except as described in the Registration

leasehold title to all real properties and good title to all other

the knowledge of the Company, no real property owned, leased,
licensed, or used by the Company lies in an area which is, or to
the knowledge of the Company will be, subject to zoning, use, or
building code restrictions which would prohibit, and no state of
facts relating to the actions or inaction of another person or
entity or his or its ownership, leasing, licensing, or use of any
real or personal property exists or will exist which would prevent,
the continued effective ownership, leasing, licensing, or use of
such real property in the business of the Company as presently
conducted or as the Prospectus indicates it contemplates
conducting, except as may be properly described in the Prospectus,
or such as in the aggregate do not now have and will not in the
future have a material adverse effect upon the operations,
business, properties, or assets of the Company or except properties
being developed by the Company for which appropriate zoning and
permitting has not yet been obtained.
(r) Neither the Company nor any other
party is now or is expected by the Company to be in violation or
breach of, or in default with respect to complying with, any
material provision of any contract, agreement, instrument, lease,
license, arrangement, or understanding which is material to the
Company, and each such contract, agreement, instrument, lease,
license, arrangement, and understanding is in full force and is the
legal, valid, and binding obligation of the parties thereto and is
enforceable as to them in accordance with its terms. The Company
enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all leases and
licenses under which it is operating. The Company is not a party to
or bound by any contract, agreement, instrument, lease, license,
arrangement, or understanding, or subject to any charter or other
restriction, which has had or which the Company believes may in the
future have a material adverse effect on the financial condition,
results of operations, business, properties, assets, liabilities,
or future prospects of the Company. The Company is not in violation
or breach of, or in default with respect to, any terns of its
Articles of Incorporation (or other charter document) or
by-laws.

and uncontested. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration
Statement, the Intangibles are owned by the Company, free and clear
of all liens, security interests, pledges, and encumbrances. To the
knowledge of the Company, the Company has not infringed and is not
infringing any Intangibles of others and the Company has not
received notice of infringement with respect to asserted
Intangibles of others. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no
infringement by others of Intangibles of the Company. To the

has had or may in the future have a materially adverse effect on
the financial condition, results of operations, business,
properties, assets, liabilities, or future prospects of the
Company.

payment.

officer, director and person or entity that beneficially owns
shares of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the date hereof
his, her or its enforceable written agreement that for a period of

he, she or it will not, without the Agent’s prior written
consent, sell or undertake any related action described in such
written agreement with respect to the Company’s Common Stock
owned by such person prior to the Effective Date; provided,
