Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 2, 2012, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell certain assets, primarily intellectual property rights and equipment, relating to our strategic services division, known as Strategos, to one of our officers and employees for $100,000.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into separation and release agreements with all of the officers and employees of our Strategos division pursuant to which they agreed to forgo approximately $1.4 million in bonuses we owned them (and which bonuses had previously been accrued as an expense in our financial statements) in exchange for $150,000.

Finally, as part of the transaction, we also entered into a technology license agreement with Strategos, Inc., a newly formed company that will carry on the business formerly conducted by our Strategos division, pursuant to which we agreed to license Strategos, Inc. certain technology and intellectual property rights relating to our Strategos division, including the use of the name “Strategos,” for royalty payments equal to 12.5% of the professional fee revenue earned by Strategos, Inc. in excess of $10 million during the period from October 2, 2012 to December 31, 2015.

The foregoing description of the asset purchase agreement, separation and release agreement and technology license agreement do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to copies of such agreements filed as exhibits hereto, which are incorporated by reference herein.
