Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 25, 2013, the registrant entered into a settlement agreement with Global Arena Investment Management, LLC, (GAIM), a wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant, and with FireRock Capital Inc., a New York Corporation.

Pursuant to this agreement, the registrant has entered into a promissory note to deliver $250,000 to FireRock on or before December 26, 2013, and in return FireRock will deliver 714,286 common shares of the registrant and 25% membership interests in GAIM to the registrant.  At such a time, all claims regarding the original deal will be considered settled.

Should the registrant default, they will forfeit and waive any and all rights, interests, or claims it may have to acquire or repurchase the shares and membership interests from FireRock.  FireRock will then continue to have all ownership rights and interests in the shares and membership interests, and still hold the registrant to their obligations under the $250,000 promissory note.  In addition, in the event of a default, FireRock may elect to convert any amount of the outstanding principal from the promissory note into the registrant’s common shares at price per share of either $0.35 per share or a 10% discount of the market value the day prior to the date of conversion, whichever is lower.

Item 1.02 – Termination of a Material

On November 25, 2013, the registrant, GAIM, and FireRock mutually agreed to terminate and reverse the securities purchase agreement originally entered into on December 31, 2012.  Under the original agreement, FireRock would purchase 714,286 shares of the registrant and 25% membership interests in GAIM from the registrant for $250,000.  This agreement was filed as a Form 8-K on January 7, 2013.

The security purchase agreement provided FireRock an option to require the registrant to repurchase the shares and membership interests.  FireRock demanded to exercise this option, and the registrant has agreed to repurchase all shares and membership interests.  There are no material early termination penalties incurred by the registrant.
