Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Administrative Agreement
GTSI Corp. (GTSI) entered into an administrative agreement with the U.S. Small Business
Administration (the SBA) on October 19, 2010 (the Agreement). Pursuant to the Agreement, the
SBA lifted the temporary federal contract suspension it imposed on GTSI on October 1, 2010. As a
result, GTSI may, subject to the Agreement, resume full business with most of its existing clients
and pursue new contracts with the federal government.
Pursuant to the Agreement, GTSI agreed that it will not obtain or attempt to obtain any new
federal governmental contracts, subcontracts or any business, which in any capacity, whether
directly or indirectly is intended to benefit small businesses, including task orders and options
on existing contracts. This includes benefits in circumstances involving small businesses serving
as prime contractors and joint ventures with small businesses. GTSI will also discontinue
participating in the SBAs mentor-protégé program. GTSI further agreed to retain an SBA-approved
monitor to regularly report to the SBA on GTSIs compliance with the Agreement and applicable
government contracting laws and regulations (the Monitor). The term of the Agreement commenced on
October 19, 2010 and will terminate on the earlier of a) October 19, 2013, b) the 90th
day after the SBAs Office of Inspector Generals notification of the completion of its continuing
investigation of GTSI, or c) the notification date of any proposed debarment of GTSI by the SBA.
In connection with the Agreement, GTSI accepted the voluntary resignations of Scott
Friedlander as Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, and Charles DeLeon as a Senior Vice
President and General Counsel, both effective as of October 26, 2010. GTSI also agreed to suspend
three other employees for the term of the Agreement. GTSI committed to adopt, implement and
maintain a self-governance program that includes a business ethics program that covers all
employees. As part of the business ethics program, GTSI will create a position and designate an
employee as GTSIs Ethics Officer, who will be responsible for managing all aspects of the business
ethics program. At least once each calendar year, GTSI will conduct an internal audit of its
business practices, procedures, policies and internal controls for compliance with the Agreement,
GTSIs Code of Business Ethics and the special requirements regarding government contracting and
report the results of such audit to the SBA and the Monitor.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as
Exhibit 10.1.
GTSI issued a press release announcing that the SBA has lifted the temporary suspension. A
copy of the press release, dated October 19, 2010, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
