Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 31, 2008, the Company and ERP2 Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ERP2”), effected the consummation of the transactions described below (the “Closing”) pursuant to the term sheet entered into by the Company and ERP2 on January 14, 2008.

Upon the Closing, the Company issued to ERP2 a secured promissory note (the “New Note”) in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2010.  The disbursement of $300,000 of such principal amount occurred upon the Closing.  Disbursement of the remaining $1,200,000 of such amount is subject to completion of all actions required to be completed by the Company in order to effectuate a 1000-to-1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock and the deregistration of the Company’s common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Events of default under the New Note include, among others, any failure of the Company to complete such actions by April 30, 2008. The New Note bears interest at 10% per annum (plus, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, an additional 3% per annum ), payable quarterly in arrears in cash, or, at the Company’s option, in kind, capitalized as additional principal.  The New Note contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including a covenant that the Company’s consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New Note) for each of certain periods of four consecutive fiscal quarters will meet or exceed the applicable minimum amount set forth in the New Note.

In addition, upon the Closing, the Company and ERP2 entered into amendments to the two existing secured demand notes in the original principal amounts of $400,000 and $500,000 held by ERP2 (the “Old Notes”) that provide, among other things, for (A) the extension of the maturity dates of such notes until January 31, 2010 and (B) a right of ERP2 to accelerate the indebtedness represented by such notes upon an event of default under the New Notes, provided that no such acceleration may occur prior to September 30, 2008.  The Old Notes, as amended, bear interest at 10% per annum, payable upon maturity, provided that, in the event any payment due under either of such notes is not made within 15 days of its due date, the interest on such overdue amount will increase to 13% per annum.  As of January 31, 2008, the aggregate amount of principal and interest outstanding under the Old Notes was $699,213.

The New Notes and the Old Notes, as amended, are secured by all of the Company’s assets pursuant to amendments and restatements executed by the Company and ERP2 upon the Closing of the security agreement and pledge agreement by which the Company’s obligations under the Old Notes were secured immediately prior to the Closing.  Such amended and restated security agreement, among other things, (i) provides for a security interest in favor of ERP2 in respect of all personal property of the Company and (ii) obligates the Company to deliver the source code of its software products into escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory to ERP2 within 30 days after January 31, 2008 and, subject to certain conditions, to effect one or more updates to the source code so escrowed.  Such amended and restated pledge agreement, among other things, provides for a security interest in favor of ERP2 in respect of the Company’s interest in its United Kingdom subsidiaries, Enterprise Informatics International Ltd. and Enterprise Informatics Ltd.

The Company is obligated under the New Note, on or prior to the date of the above-referenced $1,200,000 disbursement, to issue to ERP2 warrants for the purchase of the number of shares of common stock equal to the greater of (i) 26,735,508 shares of common stock and (ii) 20% of the fully diluted outstanding common stock as of the date of such issuance.  Such warrants will have a per share exercise price of $0.08 and a 10-year term, and contain certain “cashless exercise” and anti-dilution provisions.

The New Note provides for entry by the Company and ERP2 into one or more agreements pursuant to which designees of ERP2 will provide management consulting, strategic and financial advisory services to the Company during the period that any indebtedness is outstanding under the New Note or the Old Notes, in exchange for fees paid by the Company of up to $60,000 per quarter.  In addition, the Company is obligated to pay (i) a $75,000 closing fee, which includes up to $25,000 of fees and expenses that the Company is required to reimburse to ERP2 pursuant to the letter agreement between the Company and ERP2 dated October 22, 2007 and (ii) certain fees and expenses incurred by ERP2 in connection with the transactions described above.

As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2007, on October 10, 2007, ERP2 acquired from Spescom Limited, a South African corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary Spescom Ltd., a United Kingdom corporation, the Old Notes, 15,650,471 shares of the Company’s common stock, 5,291 shares of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, and certain contract rights and other interests held by such entities in connection with their ownership of such notes and shares.

As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on October 26, 2007, on October 22, 2007, the Company and ERP2 entered into a letter agreement by which ERP2 agreed to forbear from seeking repayment of the Old Notes prior to December 21, 2007 and the Company, in exchange, agreed to (i) pay a forbearance fee of $25,000 to ERP2 or its designees not later than October 24, 2007 and (ii) reimburse ERP2 for certain due diligence expenses, including legal fees, in an amount up to $25,000.

As reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on January 15, 2008, on January 14, 2008, the Company and ERP2 entered into a term sheet contemplating transactions in the nature of those consummated on January 31, 2008, as described above.  Also as reported in such Annual Report, upon execution of such term sheet, the Company (i) issued to ERP2 a warrant exercisable for 17,175,971 shares of the Company’s common stock, which warrant has a per share exercise price of $0.08 and a 10-year term and contains certain “cashless exercise” and anti-dilution provisions, and (ii) declared a dividend payable to ERP2 in shares of the Company’s common stock in satisfaction of the entire amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock held by ERP2.  As reported in Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed by the Company with the SEC on January 28, 2008, on January 21, 2008, the Company issued 20,832,498 shares of its common stock to ERP2 in payment of such dividend.

As of January 31, 2008, ERP2, by virtue of its ownership of shares of the common stock and Series F Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, was entitled to 52,044,734 or 70% of the total number of votes eligible to be cast on all matters submitted to the vote of the holders of common stock and, consequently, was entitled to elect a majority of the Board.  In addition, as of such date, ERP2, by virtue of its ownership of such shares and of the above-referenced warrant to purchase 17,175,971 shares of common stock, was the beneficial owner of 69,220,705 shares or 75.7% of the common stock of the Company.

2.1            Debtor has good and marketable title to all of the Collateral owned by it, free and clear of any Liens other than the Security Interests and Permitted Liens (as defined in the New Note).
 
2.2            Debtor has not performed any acts which might prevent the Secured Party from enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or which would limit the Secured Party in any such enforcement. Other than financing statements or other similar or equivalent documents or instruments with respect to the Security Interests and Permitted Liens (as defined in the New Note), as of the date hereof and thereafter no financing statement, mortgage, security agreement or other similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all or any part of the Collateral is or will be on file or of record in any government office in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect a Lien on such Collateral. No Collateral is in the possession of any Person or entity whatsoever (other than Debtor) which has taken action to assert any claim thereto or security interest therein, except that the Secured Party or their designee may have possession of Collateral as contemplated hereby.
 
2.3            The Security Interests constitute valid security interests under the UCC securing the Secured Obligations.
 
2.4            This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Debtor and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Debtor. The execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of this Agreement, each filing, statement, supplementary assignment, pledge agreement or other document related to this Agreement to which Debtor is a party do not and will not contravene, or constitute (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the charter or by-laws of Debtor or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon it or result in the creation of any Lien (other than the Security Interests) on any asset of Debtor or any of its Subsidiaries.
 
2.5            Debtor has filed, or caused to be filed, in a timely manner all tax returns, reports and declarations which are required to be filed by it. All information in such tax returns, reports and declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects. Debtor has paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable in any assessment received by it, except taxes the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to Debtor and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on its books. Adequate provision has been made for the payment of all accrued and unpaid Federal, State, county, local, foreign and other taxes whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed.
 
2.6            There is no known present investigation by any governmental agency pending, or to the best of Debtor’s knowledge threatened, against or affecting Debtor, its assets or business and there is no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person or entity pending, or to the best of Debtor’s knowledge threatened, against Debtor or its assets or goodwill, or against or affecting any transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which would reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the assets, business or prospects of Debtor or would impair the ability of Debtor to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Note or the Loan or of the Secured Party to enforce any Secured Obligations or realize upon any Collateral.

2.8            All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any of the agreements concerning the Note or the Loan shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been made again to the Secured Party on the date of each additional borrowing or other credit accommodation hereunder and shall be conclusively presumed to have been relied on by the Secured Party regardless of any investigation made or information possessed by the Secured Party. The representations and warranties set forth herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any other representations or warranties which Debtor shall now or hereafter give, or cause to be given, to the Secured Party.
 
3.            Security Interests.  In order to secure the full and punctual payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing security interest in and to all of the following property of Debtor, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (collectively, “Collateral”):

5.            General Authority.  Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of Debtor, the Secured Party or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Party, but at such Debtor’s expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the Collateral owned by Debtor, (a) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect to the Collateral, (b) to sell, transfer, assign otherwise deal in or with the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner of the Collateral; provided, that the Secured Party shall give Debtor not less than 10 days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral except any Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market.

or prices as the Secured Party may deem satisfactory. The Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same, absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. Debtor agrees to execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Secured Party deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale, the Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold to it absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Debtor which may be waived and Debtor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice of sale shall, (1) in vase of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, and (2) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sate. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Secured Party may determine. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned, In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again he sold upon like notice. The Secured Party, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon them, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.
 
6.2            In addition to the other rights of the Secured Party described herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Debtor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such depository institution to execute and deliver to the Secured Party a Depository Account Control Agreement with regard to each of the Depository Accounts of the Debtor.
 
6.3            For the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and remedies under this Agreement, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Secured Party may (a) require Debtor to, and Debtor agrees that it will, at its own expense, forthwith assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it available at a place designated by the Secured Party which is, in its opinion, reasonably convenient to the Secured Party and Debtor, whether at the premises of Debtor or otherwise, (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premise where any of the Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or liability to it seize and remove such Collateral from such premises, (c) have access to and use any of Debtor’s books and records relating to the Collateral and (d) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, process, repair or recondition it or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the
 

 
 
 
11

 

extent the Secured Party deems appropriate and, in connection with such preparation and disposition, use without charge any trademark, trade name, copyright, patent or technical process used by Debtor.
 
6.4            Any laboratory which has possession of any of the Collateral is hereby constituted and appointed by Debtor as pledgeholder for the Secured Party and the Secured Party may authorize each such pledgeholder to sell all or any portion of the Collateral upon the order and direction of the Secured Party, and Debtor hereby waives any and all claims for damages, or otherwise, for any action taken by such pledgeholder.
 
7.            Application of Proceeds.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Secured Party in the following order of priorities:
 
7.1            First, to payment of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including, on a pari passu basis, reasonable compensation to agents and counsel for the Secured Party and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Secured Party in connection therewith, and any other unreimbursed expenses for which the Secured Party is to be reimbursed under any other agreement or instrument entered into in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and unpaid fees owing to the Secured Party.
 
7.2            Next to the payment of the Secured Obligations, on a pari passu basis, in accordance with the provisions of the Loan, until all such amounts have been paid in fill.
 
7.3            Finally, to Debtor or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
 
The Secured Party may make distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or in any combination thereof.
 
8.            Termination of Security Interest; Release of Collateral.  Upon the repayment in full of all Secured Obligations, the Security Interests shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Debtor. At any time and from time to time prior to such termination of the Security Interests, the Secured Party may release any of the Collateral or release Debtor of its obligations hereunder with the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
 
9.            Governing Law.  This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, irrespective of New York’s choice-of-law principles.
 
10.            Further Assurances.  Each party to this Agreement shall execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
 
11.            Counterparts and Exhibits.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together constitute one document. All exhibits attached to and referenced in this Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement.

All such judgments and awards shall contain a specific provision for the recovery of all such subsequently incurred costs, expenses, and actual attorney’s fees.
