Over the period of the past 4 years, GEII and Turner have made allegations and claims against Pfeffer, and Pfeffer has made allegations and claims against GEII and Turner, including, but not limited to, those allegations and claims set out in GEII’s last quarterly report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-QSB on November 19, 2007, but all of which shall be considered included herein and hereinafter shall be referred to as “all allegations, claims, disputes and controversies.”

  C. GEII is indebted to Pfeffer in the amount of $135,000 on a promissory note, with accumulated interest of $30,277.66 (the “Pfeffer promissory note”), as well as $30,156.71 for expenses incurred by Pfeffer during the period of September through December of 2006, which have been added as an addendum to the Pfeffer promissory note (the “Pfeffer 2006 expenses”), and the sum of $35,000 for additional penalties and interest on the Pfeffer promissory note, for a total of $230,434.37 (the “Pfeffer Indebtedness”).

As a means of settling the Litigation; fully and finally resolving and settling any and all of the allegations, claims, disputes and controversies; and fully and finally satisfying any and all amounts that GEII owes, or may owe, to Pfeffer (including, without limitation, the Pfeffer Indebtedness), GEII is willing to issue, and Pfeffer is willing to accept, 57,608,593 shares of Common Stock in GEII (the “Shares”) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, which issuance, with the other transactions contemplated for the settlement of the Litigation, any and all of the allegations, claims, disputes and controversies, and any and all amounts that GEII owes, or may owe, to Pfeffer, is referred to herein as the “Settlement”).

  E. The parties have determined that a settlement of the Litigation; any and all of the allegations, claims, disputes and controversies; and any and all amounts that GEII owes, or may owe, to Pfeffer, on the foregoing terms is in the best interests of GEII and Pfeffer.

  F. GEII has made available to Pfeffer its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, its quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended during the calendar year 2007, and all current reports on Form 8-K GEII has filed during 2007 and subsequently (collectively the “Exchange Act Reports”), as well as all press releases and other information that GEII has publicly released during 2007 (the “Other Public Information”).
