ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On July 6, 2015, Vertical Computer Systems, Inc., (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries agreed with Lakeshore Investment, LLC (“Lakeshore”) to amend the terms of a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and the $1,759,150 promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Company’s subsidiary, Now Solutions, Inc. (“Now Solutions”) to Lakeshore.

Under the terms of the amendment, the Company agreed to issue 13,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 3,000,000 common shares of Ploinks, Inc. stock in consideration of Lakeshore’s forbearance from taking any action concerning the exiting defaults under the Note and Loan Agreement. The Company also agreed to make a $310,000 payment for amounts due to Lakeshore under the Note and Loan Agreement. Upon receipt of payment all defaults under the Loan Agreement and the Note will be cured.

The Company also obtained a 90 day option to purchase Lakeshore’s 25% ownership interest in Now Solutions and Lakeshore’s 20% ownership interests in SnAPPnet, Inc. and Priority Time Systems, Inc. for $1,450,000.

In addition, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock to NOW Solutions as an equity contribution.
