The Company did not purchase or assume any of Igenti's liabilities in connection with the Software Rights Agreement. The purchase price for the AutoHire Software was $170,000, of which $120,000 was paid in cash and $50,000 was paid in the form of a promissory note (the "Igenti Note"). The Igenti Note does not bear interest and is payable in monthly installments of $417 per month beginning on May 5, 2010, and ending on May 5, 2012 (the "Maturity Date"), at which time the remaining amount of the Igenti Note, $40,000 is due and payable. The payment of the Igenti Note is secured by all of the subscription agreements of customers relating to the AutoHire Software entered into prior to February 1, 2010. Igenti also guaranteed the Company that the Company will receive at least $173,700 (the "Guaranteed Amount") in subscription cash receipts from the AutoHire Software during the twelve month period after the sale ending on February 1, 2011. The guaranteed amount was received during the twelve month period.  The balance of the Igenti note was $-0- as of December 31, 2011.
 
In connection with the Software Rights Agreement, the Company also entered into a Consulting Agreement and Non-Compete Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") with the owner of Igenti, Jim McArdle.

The loan is guaranteed by the Company and personally guaranteed by Shaun Passley, the Company's Chief Executive Officer; and is secured by all of the assets of K9 Bytes, Inc., the Illinois corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary formed to house the acquired assets and the Company, 100% of the outstanding capital of the K9 subsidiary, and a life insurance policy on Mr. Passley's life in the amount of $235,000.
 
         
(2)Consideration included an unsecured $30,750 seller financed note payable, bearing 6% per annum and is payable in monthly installments of $333 per month starting in November 2011 and ending on October 26, 2014, at which time the then remaining balance of the K9 Note is due ($23,017, assuming no additional payments other than those scheduled).
 
         
(3)The consideration paid in excess of the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recognized as goodwill.
 

The K9 Note accrues interest at 6% per annum and is payable in monthly installments of $333 per month starting in November 2011 and ending on October 26, 2014, at which time the then remaining balance of the K9 Note ($23,017, assuming no additional payments other than those scheduled) is due. The repayment of the K9 Note is secured by all of the securities of K9 Bytes, which owns all of the assets purchased as a result of the Purchase Contract, provided that Third Party Lender, as a result of the SBA Loan described below, has a first priority security interest to such securities. The K9 Note is also personally guaranteed by Shaun Passley, our Chief Executive Officer.

We raised the funds paid to K9 Florida in connection with the Purchase Contract through a $235,000 Small Business Association loan obtained by K9 Sub from a loan from a third party lender (the "Third Party Lender" and the "SBA Loan"). The SBA Loan has a term of ten (10) years; bears interest at the prime rate plus 2.75% per annum (currently 6%), adjusted quarterly; is payable in monthly installments (beginning in December 2011) of $2,609 per month; is guaranteed by the Company and personally guaranteed by Shaun Passley, the Company's Chief Executive Officer; and is secured by all of the assets of K9 Sub and the Company, 100% of the outstanding capital of K9 Sub which is held by the Company, and a life insurance policy on Mr. Passley's life in the amount of $235,000. A total of approximately $10,000 of the amount borrowed under the SBA Loan was used to pay closing fees in connection with the loan, $169,250 was used to pay K9 Florida the cash amount due pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and the remainder of such loan amount was made available for working capital for the Company and K9 Bytes.
 
K9 Florida agreed to subordinate the K9 Note to Third Party Lender's rights under the SBA Loan. Additionally, Mr. Passley agreed to subordinate the amount he is owed by the Company to the repayment of the SBA Loan.

In connection with the Purchase Contract, the owner of K9 Florida and the Company (through K9 Sub) entered into a Consulting Agreement, pursuant to which the owner of K9 Florida agreed to provide part-time consulting services to the Company for a period of four weeks following closing and provide additional consulting services as requested by the Company for up to an additional 30 days at the rate of $75 per hour. The owner of K9 Florida and the Company also entered into an Agreement Not to Compete, pursuant to which such owner agreed not to compete against the Company for three years and four weeks from the closing of the Purchase Contract.
