Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations
Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 25, 2012, Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) finalized the renewal of a material Statement of Work (“SOW”), under its Vendor Services Agreement (“VSA”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), under which the Company will provide global telesales and chat sales services to Microsoft. The Company will drive global trial subscription sales to business customers for certain Microsoft cloud based products. The SOW covers geographies in the Americas, EMEA and the Asia-Pacific region. The three-year term of the SOW is measured from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015, with annual renewal options thereafter, and may be terminated by Microsoft prior to the expiration of its term upon 60 days written notice. Per the SOW, annual revenue to the Company is approximately $5 million. The Company will be requesting confidential treatment for certain portions of the SOW and intends to file a redacted copy of the SOW with its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012.

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under Part 1 Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012 and amended on April 30, 2012, that may cause our, or our industry's, actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed to be materially different from any future results, levels of activities, performance or achievements expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We assume no obligation to update such forward-looking statements publicly for any reason even if new information becomes available in the future, except as may be required by law.
