      Shane Montalban Settlement
      
       On June 15, 2001 the Company filed a Summons and Complaint against Kelly Shane Montalban in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (CyPost Corp. v. Kelly Shane Montalban, Civ. 5447).
       The Complaint alleged that, between September 1999 and June 15, 2001 (the "Recovery Period"), numerous purchases and sales of the Company's common stock were made in violation of the short swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. "Section 16(b)").
      
       Section 16(b) imposes strict liability on corporate insiders, including principal stockholders, for engaging in short swing trading activities (a sale and purchase or purchase and sale occurring within any six (6) month period) without regard as to whether true profits were realized by the insider from such trading activities. During the Recovery Period, numerous purchases and sales of the Company's common stock were made in violation of Section 16(b). Although the Company did not believe that any of such purchases and sales were based on non-public information, the Company nonetheless required by the strict liability provisions of Section 16(b) to seek recovery. The Company ultimately determined that the amount of short swing profits realized within the Recovery Period was $2,498,449 (the "Recovery Amount"). Mr. Montalban cooperated fully with the Company's investigation and agreed to make payment in full of the Recovery Amount.
      
       Pursuant thereto, on September 20, 2001 the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement. Part of the Recovery Amount was delivered to the Company for cancellation on September 20, 2001, various promissory notes of the Company on which the Company owed an aggregate of $2,344,788 in principal and $44,450 in interest or a total of $2,389,238.
      
       The notes delivered for cancellation included a note which had been assigned to Mr. Montalban by the holder to satisfy an obligation of the holder, notes which had been purchased by Mr. Montalban from various individuals, and a note held by Pacific Gate Capital Corporation, a corporation owned by Mr. Montalban. The balance of the Recovery Amount was paid by the issuance to the Company of a five (5) year, 5% promissory note, dated September 20, 2001, in the principal amount of $109,211. In consideration of the execution of the Settlement Agreement and payment of the Recovery Amount, on October 9, 2001 the Company voluntarily dismissed its action.
