On March 10, 2003 Telos Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“the Company’) and Telos OK, LLC (“Telos OK”) entered into a purchase agreement whereby the Company sold to Telos OK all of its issued and outstanding membership units of Telos OK for a total consideration of $4.5 million. The Company had accounted for its investment in Telos OK under the equity method and, at the time of this transaction, the Company had a zero basis recorded for this investment. The parties agreed to allocate the proceeds of the sale as follows:

 

    $4.0 million to the company at close
    A minimum of 12 monthly payments to the Company in the amount of $45,000 per month, or a total of $540,000, to recover its fixed infrastructure costs associated with providing the inter company support services

 

The parties also agreed that the Company would provide certain inter company support services to Telos OK for a period of 12 months in the amount of $45,000 per month, or a total of $540,000.

 

As additional consideration for the sale of the membership units, the Company and Telos OK committed to certain “non-compete” and “no solicitation” agreements between the two parties. The “no solicitation” commitment provides a specific exception for the employment by Telos OK of David S. Aldrich former President, CEO and Director of the Company.

 

Any employees of the Company, previously serving as officers of Telos OK resigned said positions at Telos OK effective the date of the sale.
