ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. On April 27, 2006, Cyber Defense Systems, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Agreement, (the "Agreement") dated as of April 25, 2006, by and among Cyber Defense Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), Sierra Nevada Corporation "Sierra" and Techsphere Systems International Inc. ("Techsphere"). The Agreement is intended to clarify the relationship and obligations of the parties, which arise from three prior agreements (the Exclusive Agreement to Provide Integration Services, dated June 30, 2004, the Memorandum of Agreement dated November 4, 2004 and the Subcontract Agreement dated May 11, 2005) which were entered into prior to Techsphere becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Agreement provides that SNC will serve as the prime contractor to Government End-Users for all Techsphere Airships and provided that Sierra will give Techsphere the right of first refusal to lease or sell other non-Techsphere manufactured airships to Sierra on competitive terms. The Agreement also is intended to arrive at an understanding with respect to amounts claimed by Sierra as owed, which arose from certain expenditures made by Sierra for which they are seeking reimbursement. The Agreement provides that if all other conditions of the Agreement are fulfilled that (i) Sierra will reduce its claim from $780,000 to $500,000; (ii) the Company will within 90 days deliver four MAA-90 airship pods to Techsphere free and clear of any liens and encumbrances and (iii) if a demonstration contract is awarded and Techsphere delivers the completed MAA-90 airship to Sierra, Sierra will set-off the $500,000 payment due from the Company. If the demonstration contract is not awarded and Techsphere does not deliver to Sierra the completed airship within 120 days of the date of award of the demonstration contract, the Company's promissory note to Sierra will become due and payable in accordance with its terms. The promissory note is attached as an exhibit to the Agreement and is being filed herein as an Exhibit to this 8-K. ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS. (c) Exhibits EXHIBIT NUMBER DESCRIPTION ------- ----------- 10.1 Agreement by and among Cyber Defense Systems, Inc., Sierra Nevada Corporation and Techsphere Systems International, Inc. dated April 25, 2006. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized. CYBER DEFENSE SYSTEMS, INC. By: /s/ Billy Robinson ----------------------- Billy Robinson Chief Executive Officer Dated: May 2, 2006 EX-10.1 2 v041901_ex10-1.txt AGREEMENT I. GENERAL o The parties to this Agreement are Cyber Defense Systems, Inc. ("Cyber"), Sierra Nevada Corporation ("SNC") and Techsphere Systems International, Inc. ("TSI") (collectively the "Three Parties"). It is the intention of the Three Parties to work together as a team to obtain contracts for TSI's Airships. o The parties desire to do business together and clarify the interaction of the Prior Agreements between and among the parties. II. CONFIRMATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS o The Three Parties agree that the Prior Agreements shall remain in full force and effect except as expressly clarified or modified herein. o The Three Parties are aware of and attach copies of the following agreements between and among them: (1) Exclusive Agreement to Provide Integration Services (the "Exclusive Agreement") dated June 30, 2004; (2) Memorandum of Agreement (the "MOA") dated November 4, 2004; and (3) Subcontract Agreement (the "IDIQ") dated May 11, 2005 (collectively, the "Prior Agreements"). o In the event of an inconsistency between this Agreement and any of the remaining terms of the Prior Agreements, this Agreement shall control. III. TERMS OF AGREEMENT o SNC shall serve as the prime contractor to Government End-Users for all TSI Airships; provided however, if a third party desires to purchase or lease a TSI Airship for a Government End-User, that third party may serve as prime contractor to the U.S. Government as long as SNC serves as the first tier subcontractor(1) under the third party prime contractor for design, construction, purchase, integration, and delivery of the Airship from TSI and further provided that under either situation TSI serves as the second tier subcontractor in accordance with the Exclusive Agreement and IDIQ for the design and construction of the Airship and its component parts, not including the Integrated Payload as defined in the Exclusive Agreement. This provision should not be construed to alter the requirements of the MOA, section 2.2 of the Exclusive Agreement or the IDIQ, such as: (1) no TSI Airships may be sold or leased to a Government End-User without an integrated payload; (2) SNC has the exclusive right to contract with any Government End-User to provide the integration of the Airships; (3) TSI will continue to be the manufacturer of the Airships to be purchased or leased as described in the IDIQ, with appropriate protections for each party's intellectual property rights as defined in the IDIQ. Neither of the Three Parties' rights shall be affected by a merger, sale or other change in control at either of the other parties. - ------------ (1) First tier subcontractor means a company awarded a subcontract directly by a prime contractor. 1 o Unless otherwise agreed to in a purchase order, all funds that flow through SNC in payment of the Airship or the component parts thereof will be paid according to the terms of the IDIQ. o As the prime contractor (or first tier subcontractor), SNC has no intent to manufacture any type of Airship. SNC's future purchases of Airships from TSI shall be governed by the terms of the IDIQ; provided however, that this provision shall not be construed to limit the parties' rights and obligations under the Prior Agreements between the Three Parties for the full term of the 21st Century License Agreement dated January 16, 2004. o Pursuant to section 1.) b. of the MOA and subject to the remaining terms of the MOA, SNC will give the first right of refusal to TSI (or its affiliated companies) to lease or sell other non-TSI manufactured airships to SNC as long as the leasing or procurement offer is cost competitive and meets customer requirements. o As the prime contractor (or first tier subcontractor), after consultation with the TSI and Cyber contact person, SNC shall submit the Three Parties' Airship proposals to Government End-Users and to third parties serving as prime contractors to Government End-Users as set forth above. This provision shall not be construed to limit SNC's right of first refusal to integrate Payloads on Airships purchased or leased to non-Government End-Users for which TSI will serve as the prime contractor, so long as SNC is cost competitive and meets customer requirements. o The Three Parties shall market the Airships as follows: o Within two (2) business days after any of the Three Parties learns of a viable marketing opportunity for Airships and prior to any marketing presentation (whether written or oral), the party that learns of the opportunity shall provide written notice of the opportunity to the other parties for the purpose of the Three Parties developing an appropriate plan of action. o Notice under this subsection shall be delivered to the designated contact person for each Party as follows: o For SNC: Bill Anderson o For Cyber/TSI: Keith Vierela o It is understood that SNC, as the prime contractor, should be the party to schedule a meeting with, respond to an RFP from, or otherwise send materials to Government End-Users; however if another party has special contacts within a third party prime contractor which will be issuing an RFP which will enhance the contract being awarded for a TSI Airship, then the Three Parties will jointly determine the best course of action. All Government End-User Airship marketing activities shall be consistent with SNC's right under the MOA to "coordinate all marketing and sales activities to the US Government as the lead responsible party." This does not preclude Cyber/TSI from marketing or conducting business development for its airships, as long as it is consistent with SNC's right to "coordinate all marketing and sales activities to the US Government as the lead responsible party." 2 o SNC claims that it is owed the sum of $780,000.00 in overdue invoices by Cyber. On the condition that all of the remaining terms of this payment proposal are acceptable: (1) SNC will agree to reduce its claim for $780,000 by $280,000 (an amount incurred for the unmanned portion of the NAVAIR demonstration and other costs); (2) Cyber will deliver the four MAA SA-90 airship Pods to TSI free and clear of any liens or other encumbrance, within ninety (90) days of final signature of this Agreement; and (3) if a demonstration contract is awarded and TSI delivers to SNC the completed MAA-90 airship, free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of award of the demonstration contract, SNC will set-off the $500,000 payment due SNC from Cyber as described in the Delivery Order attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A." To the extent that a demonstration contract is not awarded and TSI does not deliver to SNC the completed airship free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of award of the demonstration contract, the promissory note executed by Cyber attached hereto as Exhibit "B" shall become due and payable in full in accordance with its terms. o SNC recognizes that TSI may need to secure financing from a third party in order to complete and deliver the MAA SA-90 set forth in the Delivery Order. As such, TSI may ask that any payments due from SNC to TSI be paid directly to that third party creditor. If requested by TSI, SNC will execute proper documentation to accomplish such direct payment to TSI's creditor on terms acceptable to SNC. Nothing in this provision shall be construed to waive or limit SNC's rights under the Delivery Order. o Pursuant to a Marketing and Sales Agreement between TSI and Cyber dated May 1, 2004, Cyber may be entitled to certain sales commissions as set forth therein. For each commission claimed for sales to Government End-Users, Cyber must warrant that it qualifies as a "bona fide agency(2)" entitled to a "contingent fee(3)" commission under 48 C.F.R. 3.401. - ------------ (2) Bona fide agency means an established commercial or selling agency, maintained by a contractor for the purpose of securing business, that neither exerts nor proposes to exert improper influence to solicit or obtain Government contracts nor holds itself out as being able to obtain any Government contract or contracts through improper influence. Improper influence means any influence that induces or tends to induce a Government employee or officer to give consideration or to act regarding a Government contract on any basis other than the merits of the matter.) (3) Contingent fee means any commission, percentage, brokerage, or other fee that is contingent upon the success that a person or concern has in securing a Government contract. 3 o The Three Parties recognize and acknowledge that the other parties may have certain intellectual property rights in the materials and methods used for construction, integration, and delivery of Airships. Therefore, the Three Parties agree to cooperate in good faith such that the Airships may be constructed, integrated, and delivered with all parties IP rights preserved. Further, it is understood by the Three Parties that the exchange of drawing packages does not constitute the purchase of intellectual property, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Finally, the Three Parties agree to finalize a list of the Three Parties respective IP rights within thirty (30) days of signing this Agreement. Upon completion, such list shall be incorporated as Exhibit C to this Agreement. o The Three Parties shall sign a new agreed upon mutual non-disclosure agreement.
