Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any current, pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings, which would have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Representation Agreements

Effective February 25, 2011, the Company entered into two separate representation agreements with Basin Supply Corporation ("Basin Supply"), a multinational, energy-focused supply chain management company, to market certain of the Company's specialty chemicals and down-hole drilling products and services in various international markets, including the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the former Soviet Union. The agreements are effective through December 31, 2015, with each agreement providing a retainer to Basin Supply in 2011 to assist with start-up and overhead costs. Basin Supply is also eligible to receive warrants to purchase Flotek common stock upon exceeding contractually defined annual base and "stretch" sales targets. The number of warrants that could be issued under the terms of the agreements is 200,000 per year during the first four years of the agreements.
