Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, B&B ARMR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“B&B ARMR”), and B&B Roadway and Security Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) on December 17, 2010. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, B&B ARMR has agreed to sell, and Buyer has agreed to purchase, substantially all of the assets of B&B ARMR. Such assets include, but are not limited to, the accounts receivable, fixed assets and intellectual property constituting B&B ARMR’s business of providing anti-terrorist barriers, security gates and gate operators for perimeter security applications, along with its investment in the joint venture B&B Roadway, LLC (collectively, the “Assets”). The purchase price to be paid by Buyer to B&B ARMR for the Assets is $6 million, subject to certain potential adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  Buyer has also agreed to assume certain of B&B ARMR’s liabilities.


Purchase Price for the Assets


The purchase price for the Assets consists of a cash payment in the amount of $5,550,000 and a promissory note in the original principal amount of $450,000. At the closing, ninety-five percent (95%) of the cash portion of the purchase price will be paid to B&B ARMR, subject to certain adjustments, and the remaining five percent (5%) will be deposited into escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of B&B ARMR and the Company under the Purchase Agreement. In addition, Buyer will assume certain of B&B ARMR’s liabilities. The cash portion of the purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment based on a minimum net working capital of $230,000 at closing. Of the cash portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale, $450,000 will be used by the Company to make an equity investment in B&B Roadway Holdings, LLC, a newly-formed Delaware limited liability company and the parent of Buyer.  


Representations and Warranties; Covenants


The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the parties customary for a transaction of this type. In addition, the Purchase Agreement also contains covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this type, including covenants of B&B ARMR related to its conduct of the business during the period between signing and closing.


Indemnification


The Purchase Agreement includes indemnification provisions in favor of Buyer and customary for a transaction of this nature. No claim for indemnity may be made by Buyer for any losses until the aggregate amount of such losses exceeds $30,000, and then only for the amount by which such losses exceed $30,000 (except for certain losses set forth in the Purchase Agreement, in which case losses are not subject to such limitation). Buyer’s (or certain of its affiliates’) recourse for losses under the Purchase Agreement is limited exclusively to the following (and in the following order): (i) a right of recovery against the amount deposited by Buyer in escrow at closing; (ii) a right of set-off against the promissory note delivered by Buyer at closing; and (iii) lastly, a right of set-off against any dividends, distributions or other amounts owed us in connection with our equity ownership interest in B&B Roadway Holdings. The maximum amount of such losses owed Buyer by the Company and B&B ARMR under the indemnification provisions of the Purchase Agreement is limited to thirty percent (30%) of the total consideration paid by Buyer under the Purchase Agreement for the Assets (except in cases of losses resulting from intentional and knowing fraud or an intentional non-disclosure or intentional misrepresentation of any representation and warranty, where there is no limit).





Closing


The closing of the sale will take place as soon as practicable after satisfaction of each of the closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, but, in any event, under applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, no earlier than twenty (20) days after the mailing of the Company’s Information Statement to its stockholders. Closing is conditioned on Buyer concurrently closing on the purchase of assets of Causey Lyon Enterprises, Inc., the Company’s joint venture partner in B&B Roadway and a principal supplier to B&B ARMR.
