Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

 

On May 25, 2005, Cotelligent Inc. (“Cotelligent” or “the Company”) received a notice of termination, dated May 23, 2005 (the “Notice”), of its Lease Agreement, dated as of November 10, 1999 (the “Agreement”), between the Cotelligent USA, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and Matrix/AEW Branchburg, LLC. The Agreement relates to the lease by the Company of premises located in Branchburg, New Jersey at a monthly rent of approximately $57,000. The term of the Agreement expires in November 2007. The premises are no longer used by the Company and until April 2005 were subleased to another tenant.

 

Notices of default under the Agreement were sent to Cotelligent on March 10, 2005 and April 8, 2005 for failure to make the basic rent and additional rent payments due under the Agreement. According to the Notice, the Agreement will terminate on May 30, 2005.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, if the Agreement is terminated due to an event of default as set forth in the Agreement, the lessor is entitled to recover from the Company, as lessee, liquidated damages which the Company estimates could total approximately $1.1 million, assuming no future benefit of sublet rent income. The Company had previously sublet the property, and through April 2005 was able to recover 80% of the basic and additional rent. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had accrued $633,000 of liabilities for payments required to be made under the Agreement. The Company believes it has potential defenses to this matter and is pursuing a resolution with the lessor.
