Material Changes
On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Master HP Partner Agreement with HP, replacing the existing U.S. Business Development Partner Agreement scheduled to terminate on May 31, 2011. The filing states that the new Agreement is not materially different from the prior agreement.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Termination Rights: Either party may terminate the Agreement without cause upon 30 days' written notice.
- Breach Consequences: In the event of a breach by the Company, HP may terminate without notice. The Company may be required to refund discounts or program payments received during the breach period and reimburse HP for reasonable attorneys' fees.
- Operational Impact: Termination or failure to perform obligations will automatically terminate the Company's rights to resell HP products, support, and services.
- Insolvency: If either party becomes insolvent or bankrupt, the other may terminate the agreement without notice and cancel unfulfilled obligations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific terms of the Master HP Partner Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) to confirm the "not materially different" assertion.
- Assess the Company's reliance on HP products for revenue and the potential impact of a 30-day termination notice.
- Review the Company's compliance history with HP to evaluate the risk of breach-related refunds or fee reimbursements.
- Monitor future filings for any updates regarding the expiration or renewal of this agreement.
