Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On August 17, 2009, the Registrant entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement  ("Agreement") with MTS Acquisition Company ("MTS"), a privately held company, pursuant to which the Registrant sold all of the issued and outstanding common stock of GEM Mobile Treatment Services, Inc. (“GEM MTS”), GEM MTS is a provider of mobile wastewater treatment and vapor recovery services with locations in California and Texas.
 
GEM MTS was purchased  by MTS, a corporation owned by two former senior executives of the Registrant.  Consideration for the sale was in the form of a promissory note in the aggregate amount of $5.6 million, the assumption by MTS of approximately $1.0 million of accounts payable and possible future royalties.  The consideration was immediately assigned by Registrant to CVC California, LLC, ("CVC") GEM's senior secured lender.  As the notes are paid to CVC, GEM's indebtedness to CVC will be reduced. Total reduction in indebtedness to CVC could amount to more than $7 million.
 
The promissory note for $5,600,000 bears interest at 8%.  On the first day of each calendar month commencing September 1, 2009 through and including August 1, 2010, accrued interest on the outstanding principal is due and payable.  Thereafter, principal and interest under this Note is payable in thirty-six (36) consecutive equal monthly installments of principal and interest of $174,321.50 each, with the first installment due and payable on September 1, 2010, and with subsequent installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month thereafter through and including August 1, 2013.
 
All or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid, may at the MTS’s option be prepaid in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
 
The Registrant also entered into a revolving credit agreement with MTS which is collateralized by accounts receivable.  The revolving credit note has a maximum value of $700,000 and bears interest at the greater of (a) the Prime Rate as in effect from time to time plus two (2%) percent, or (b) ten (10%) percent.
 
Concurrent with the closing of the sale of GEM MTS, the Registrant assigned with full recourse and full representation and warranty of title and ownership the promissory note, the revolving credit agreement and the revolving credit note to CVC California, LLC, the Registrant’s senior lender.
 
The Registrant also entered into a subordinated collateral agreement with GEM MTS in order to secure potential obligations related to indemnification payments it may hereafter become obligated to make to MTS in accordance with the Agreement.
