SECTION 8: OTHER EVENTS
 
ITEM 8.01: Other Events.
 
Software Licensing:
 
The Company signed an agreement to grant a perpetual license for the source code of its QHIX platform (‘Licensed Software’) to a major software and services firm (‘Licensee’) who will serve as the Company’s channel partner. The Licensee provides health claims processing systems to over 400 health plans/payors and health care providers across the country covering over 150 million members. This agreement provides an exclusivity to the licensee in certain segments of the market, provided the licensee meets certain performance requirements. Under this agreement, the licensee will pay the Company an upfront cash payment of $3.1 million in addition to quarterly royalty payments based on the revenues they generate by deploying the Licensed Software. The Royalty payment agreement calls for the licensee to pay up to $90 million to the Company by sharing revenue generated from sale of Licensed Software. The perpetual license will be considered fully paid when the Company receives from the licensee a total of $90 million in royalties. In addition to the upfront payment and royalty per this agreement, the Company will also receive annual fees for maintenance, support and upgrades; and professional fees for services such as implementation of QHIX and other related services. While upfront payment is guaranteed, the Company may not receive the full stipulated maximum royalty payments from this agreement. Certain market conditions, performance of the Licensee, and that of the Company’s QHIX platform will determine the total royalty payments the Company will receive. This licensing agreement will become effective upon completion of due diligence being currently performed by the Licensee.
