Payment of the purchase price included a $2,000,000 payment due at the delivery of audited financial statements and a $2,000,000 promissory note payable to Ms. Fitzgerald, the terms of which are described in Note 7 “Borrowing Arrangements.” In addition, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated August 31, 2009, providing Ms. Fitzgerald with “piggyback” registration rights. Ms. Fitzgerald was employed by us until the third quarter of 2011.
