Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
In May 2013, First American Bank ("FAB") obtained a $280,000 judgment (the "Judgment") against Cardinal Resources, LLC (the "Debtor") and individuals Kevin Jones, Barbara Jones and Carol McKee (together, the "Guarantors") regarding the settlement of a prior debt owed to FAB by the Debtor and guaranteed by the Guarantors.  In February 2016, Cardinal Resources, Inc. (the "Company"), an affiliate of Debtor, was served with execution documents from FAB in the nature of Interrogatories to Garnishee.  On May 11, 2016, the Company, together with the Debtor and the Guarantors and FAB (collectively the "Parties"), entered into a Settlement Agreement to resolve the Judgment and related execution proceedings to collect the Judgment (the "Settlement Agreement").  The Settlement Agreement became effective on May 13, 2016.


The Parties have entered into the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which: (i) the Company has paid FAB the sum of $153,000 to settle the balance of the judgment amount together with accrued interest and fees; (ii) the Parties have provided mutual releases of claims; (iii) FAB will cause its Judgment to be marked satisfied and all related proceedings to be dismissed with prejudice, including the execution proceedings against Company as garnishee; (iv) FAB will execute and record releases of the Guarantors' guaranties; (v) FAB will notify all garnishees that all garnishments are released and terminated; (vii) FAB will mark the original promissory note as paid in full; and (viii) FAB will terminate its security interest against Debtor's property.
