Bearclaw will forgive a convertible debenture with current amount owing of $500,000 plus interest of $1,438 (the "Debenture Settlement") if Quartz Mountain completes the following:

• makes a cash payment of $29,793 to Bearclaw;

• issues 6 million shares to HDSI.

Any shares issued in connection with the Debenture Settlement and the Debt Settlement will be issued in reliance of certain prospectus and registration exemptions under applicable securities legislation and are subject to a four month hold period.

Any HDSI principal that is also a member of the Quartz Mountain Board of Directors has abstained from voting on the Debt Settlement.  The Debenture Settlement and Debt Settlement are subject to regulatory approval, including acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
