ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 10, 2005, Firstwave Technologies, Inc. issued a press release announcing the signing of formal agreements for the co-development, distribution, support and sales of products with M1 Global Solutions, Inc., an Atlanta-based technology company. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and incorporated by reference into this report.

Under the terms of the agreements, both Firstwave and M1 Global are contributing to the ongoing development, maintenance and support of Firstwave products.  Customers will be able to procure Firstwave’s products from either channel and newly developed M1 Global products through M1 Global.
 
Basic Terms of the Transaction:
 
1.  
M1 Global has licensed the Firstwave CRM database schema (the relational database tables on which the business applications are built).  This allows M1 Global to develop its future products addressing this shared database schema which facilitates integration of the Firstwave and M1 Global products.
2.  
Firstwave is outsourcing its Professional Services and Support functions to M1 Global.  Under the terms of this three-year agreement, M1 Global has agreed to support the current Firstwave customers and products. 
3.  
M1 Global will be a non-exclusive reseller of Firstwave products.   The OEM/Outsourcing Agreement provides for a commission of 33% to Firstwave on Firstwave products licensed through the M1 Global channel. 

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the License Agreement and the OEM/Outsourcing Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Agreements. A copy of the License Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 10.1 and the OEM/Outsourcing Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 10.2; both are attached hereto and incorporated by reference into this report
