Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Entry into Asset Purchase Agreement
On June 2, 2010, effective as of June 1, 2010, General Employment Enterprises, Inc., an Illinois corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Triad Personnel Services, Inc., an Illinois corporation (together, the “Company”), entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement, with On-Site Services, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“On-Site”), and Thomas Bean (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired certain assets of On-Site, including customer lists, comprising On-Site’s services business, which is operated from its offices in Florida and provides labor and human resource solutions, including temporary staffing, human resources and payroll outsourcing services, labor and employment consulting and workforce solutions.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to, upon approval of an additional listing application by the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange, issue $600,000 in shares of its common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), to On-Site. The shares of Common Stock will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, if the aggregate EBITDA of the business acquired (the “EBITDA”) meets certain targets over the next four years, the Company will be required to make earn-out payments to On-Site totaling up to $1,020,000, $600,000 of which is payable in cash and $420,000 of which is payable in cash or Common Stock, or any combination thereof, in the Company’s sole discretion. The earn-out payments consist of: (i) biannual payments of $75,000 in cash for the next four years if the business acquired meets an EBITDA target of $125,000 for the first six-month period, and/or EBITDA targets that increase by $125,000 every six months thereafter and (ii) annual payments in cash or Common Stock, or any combination thereof, for the next four years in accordance with the following schedule if the business acquired meets an EBITDA target of $300,000 for the first twelve-month period, and/or EBITDA targets that increase by $300,000 every twelve months thereafter: (A) 25% of that portion of the EBITDA that is between $1 and $100,000 greater than the relevant EBITDA target; (B) 35% of that portion of the EBITDA that is between $100,101 and $200,000 greater than the relevant EBITDA target and (C) 45% of that portion of the EBITDA that is between $200,101 and $300,000 greater than the relevant EBITDA target. With respect to the earn-out payments referenced in (i) above only, a biannual payment that is not made with respect to one period may be made in a subsequent period if the relevant EBITDA target with respect to such subsequent period is met.
The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.
Entry into Registration Rights Agreement

The Registration Rights Agreement contains certain indemnification provisions for the benefit of the Company and On-Site and other customary provisions.
