Subsequent Event

For several years, Hetronic Germany-GmbH and Hydronic-Steuersysteme-GmbH (the “Fuchs companies”) served as our distributors for Germany, Austria and other central and eastern European countries pursuant to their respective intellectual property licenses and distribution and assembly agreements.  We recently became aware that the Fuchs companies and their managing director, Albert Fuchs, had materially violated those agreements.  As a result, we have terminated all of our agreements with the Fuchs companies.  On June 6, 2014, we filed a proceeding in Germany against the Fuchs companies and Mr. Fuchs seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent them from using the Hetronic name or trademark due to their material breaches of the intellectual property licenses.  On June 20, 2014, we filed a separate lawsuit against the Fuchs companies in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma alleging material breaches of the distribution and assembly agreements.  We are seeking damages from the defendants, as well as various forms of injunctive relief.
