Item 8.01. Other Events.
 
Effective July 8, 2010, GTX Corp (the “Company”) and Samsung Electronics Limited (“Samsung”) entered into an Agreement To Provide Online Mobile Content And Services For Mobile Devices (the “Agreement”).  Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to develop versions of the Company’s GPS Tracking applications specifically for cell phones that run on Samsung’s bada platform.  The purpose of the Agreement is to grant Samsung the license rights to offer the Company’s GPS Tracking smart phone applications to the millions of cell phones manufactured and sold by Samsung using the bada platform. Samsung bada is a new open platform for use on Samsung mobile devices.

Under the Agreement, Samsung will pay the Company a non recurring engineering development fee, contribute marketing and engineering support for pre and post launch, provide an industry standard global platform for distribution, and share user revenues with the Company.  Samsung will be responsible for collecting the fees and Samsung will remit 70% of such fees to the Company.  The Company will update the GPS Tracking applications periodically throughout the initial one year term of the agreement and such updates will coincide with the updates the Company provides to its GPS Tracking applications on the iPhone, Android and Blackberry platforms, which to date have been downloaded by over 500,000 users in 84 countries. The GPS Tracking applications are expected to be featured for sale on the Samsung Application Store beginning in the third quarter of 2010.

 Over 220,000,000 customers bought Samsung handsets in 2009. Over 40,000,000 customers bought Samsung touch phones last year. Samsung expects the bada platform will rapidly be adopted by such customers this year. In 2010 bada’s global distribution and coverage of Samsung mobile phones and Samsung Apps, the application store, will expand its service to 75 countries.  Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence technologies with 2009 consolidated sales of US$116.8 billion. Employing approximately 188,000 people in 185 offices across 65 countries, Samsung is widely recognized as a leading mobile phone provider and the bada platform is utilized in millions of phones sold by Samsung.
