Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 16, 2011, Registrant entered into a Nonexclusive Patent License and Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") relating to an action brought by Asentinel LLC, against Registrant and AnchorPoint, a division of MTS, and CASS Information Systems (the "Lawsuit"), alleging infringement of two patents held by Asentinel concerning systems and methods for identifying and processing billing exceptions in telecommunications invoices (the "Patents"). That litigation was disclosed in Registrant’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Commission on March 29, 2011.

The material terms of the Settlement Agreement are:

1. Asentinel granted Registrant a fully paid-up license under the Patents to make, use, sell, and offer for sale the products and services that, but for the license, would infringe the Patents ("Licensed Products").

2. Asentinel waived all claims for damages for prior infringements of the Asentinel Patents by Registrant and its predecessors, successors, agents, attorneys, distributors, insurers, servants, licensees, service providers, retailers, suppliers, employees, officers, directors, users and customers.

3. Registrant agreed to pay Asentinel $500,000. Of that amount, $250,000 was paid upon execution of the Settlement Agreement and $250,000 is payable without interest (other than after the occurrence of an event of default) on June 16, 2012, and is represented by Registrant’s promissory note.

4. Asentinel agreed to grant a license to any entity hereafter acquired by the Registrant to sell Licensed Products [*] .

5. The Lawsuit is dismissed as against Registrant.

Registrant intends to file a copy of the Settlement Agreement as an Exhibit to its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2011.

* denotes redacted information





Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Registrant issued to Asentinel its promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000, due June 16, 2012 (the "Note").

The Note does not bear interest unless there is an event of default, in which event it bears interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. Events of default under the Note are the failure to pay amounts due under the Note when due or the commencement of an insolvency, bankruptcy receivership or similar proceeding by or against Registrant. The Settlement Agreement provides that if the Note is not paid when full, Asentinel may revoke the licenses granted in the Settlement Agreement.

Registrant intends to file a copy of the Note as an Exhibit to its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2011.
