Under the terms of the Settlement and Release, the Registrant agreed to issue, and Belmont agreed to accept, 350,000 restricted shares of its common stock in full satisfaction of the Obligation and in exchange for the Registrant releasing Belmont from any claims against Belmont that the Registrant had or has relating to an alleged violation of short swing profit rules enacted under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Belmont disputed any alleged violation of short swing profit rules.

A copy of the Settlement and Release is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.  The foregoing description of the Settlement and Release does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement and Release.
