Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a corporation to provide indemnification

if such party acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be

Michael
Golightly, Esq., counsel to American Energy has passed upon the validity of the
shares registered pursuant to this Registration Statement.
Item 6.
Indemnification
      of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a corporation to provide indemnification
to a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,
if such party acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful as determined in accordance with the statute, and except
that with respect to any action which results in a judgment against the person
and in favor of the corporation the corporation may not indemnify unless a court
determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to the
indemnification. Section 145 further provides that indemnification shall be
provided if the party in question is successful on the
merits.
Our certificate of incorporation
provides that members of our board of directors are protected against personal
liability to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware
corporate law.
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors,
officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provision or
otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Undertakings
.
American Energy Production, Inc. hereby
undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement 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 the Registration
Statement;
-3-
(2) That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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;
(4) That, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial
bona
fide
offering
thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of American Energy pursuant to the
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise, American Energy
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by American Energy of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of American Energy
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, American Energy 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.
