Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies
 
In October 2009, the Company was notified that it was named as a defendant in a multi-defendant lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, seeking declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief styled Charles E. Hill & Associates, Inc. v. ABT Electronics, Inc., et al, Cause No. 2:09-CV-313. The lawsuit alleged that the Company was infringing on patents related to electronic catalog systems. From the outset, the vendor that provides the Company with the Internet software had been defending and indemnifying the Company. However, effective February 15, 2011, the company that acquired this vendor declined to provide any further indemnification of the Company. In May 2012 without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, and with no finding or admission as to the merit or lack of merit of any claim or defense asserted in connection with the litigation, the Company entered into a licensing agreement, for a confidential amount, and a Stipulation of Dismissal was filed with the Court, dismissing the lawsuit against the Company.
