Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
          On January 19, 2008, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among eShopperTools.com, Inc. ( also known as “CleverSet”), our wholly-owned subsidiary Einstein Acquisition Corp., certain stockholders of CleverSet and Scott Anderson, as stockholder representative. A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report and incorporated herein by reference.
          Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will acquire CleverSet for approximately ten million dollars ($10,000,000) in cash. The base consideration may be increased or decreased as a result of closing adjustments described in the merger agreement, including an adjustment based on CleverSet’s working capital at closing.
          The Merger Agreement also contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for transactions of this size and nature. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of CleverSet’s stockholders, and is expected to occur in the current quarter.
          The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that we, CleverSet and the principal stockholders of CleverSet made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates, and such representations and warranties should not be relied upon by any other person. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract between us, CleverSet and its stockholders and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by us and CleverSet in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as accurate or complete characterizations of the actual state of facts as of any specified date, since they are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules and are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to investors in our common stock and were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the us and the stockholders of CleverSet, rather than establishing matters as facts.
