BY THE COURT:

Q             Dr. Speken, do you understand the terms of the settlement?

A             Yes.

Q             And do you agree to these terms, sir?

A             Yes.

Q             And do you understand, as your attorney just indicated, that the full sum of
                the settlement is $500,000 from which there will be a reduction first of any
                disbursements which were laid out on your behalf by your counsel, and then
                the sum will be reduced by your agreement that you have with Mr. Moore in
                terms of his retainer, and the balance will go to you.

A             Yes.

Q             Do you have any questions about that financial arrangement at this point?

A              No.

Q             And, sir, are you doing this of your own free will?

A             Yes.

Q             Has anybody forced you into this?

A             No.

Q             And have you taken any type of medication or alcohol today that would have
                in any way affected your judgment in making this decision?

A             No.

Q             Have you read what is referred to as the General Release, sir, and is that
                your signature on page 3?
