            1.         Hemings is permanently enjoined from offering or selling securities, annuities, or any other investment products in the State of Maine.  This injunction does not prohibit an employer of Hemings from offering or selling securities, annuities, or other investment products in Maine so long as:

                        b.         Hemings has no involvement in the offer or sale; and

                        c.         Hemings is not a partner, a director, or an officer with any role in the management of the employer.

            2.         Hemings shall pay $8,000 in restitution to the Securities Administrator for distribution to the two Maine residents who purchased U.S. Capital Funding, Inc. notes.  Hemings shall pay this restitution according to the following schedule:

                        a.         $3,000 within 30 days after entry of this Consent Judgment on the docket;

                        b.         $2,500 on or before February 1, 2006; and

                        c.         $2,500 on or before February 1, 2007.

            3.         Should Hemings fail to make any of the restitution payments as set forth above, all remaining restitution shall become due and owing and Hemings shall reimburse Plaintiffs for any and all attorneys fees and costs incurred in collecting the balance.

            4.         Hemings shall fully cooperate with Plaintiffs in any investigation or legal action taken against other persons in connection with U.S. Capital Funding, Inc. note sales.
