Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 5, 2014, Alpine 4 Automotive Technology Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a Licensing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AutoTek Incorporated (“AutoTek”).

AutoTek is the owner of technology, including software code, relating to two products designed to assist automobile dealerships: LotWatch and ServiceWatch.  LotWatch provides real-time information relating to each vehicle on a dealer’s lot.  ServiceWatch interfaces with a new vehicle, and provides information to a dealership service department about the vehicle, designed to improve communications between a dealer and a customer, and to provide better service to the customer.  Collectively, LotWatch and ServiceWatch are the “Licensed Technology.”

Pursuant to the Agreement, AutoTek granted to the Company an exclusive, transferable (including sublicensable) worldwide perpetual license of the Licensed Technology, to make, use, iport, lease, and sell products incorporating the Licensed Technology (the “Licensed Products”).  The Company is required to pay to AutoTek royalty payments equal to $10 per ServiceWatch device activated using the Licensed Technology.

The term of the Agreement runs from its execution through the earlier of (A) the execution and closing of the definitive purchase agreement by the parties and providing for the acquisition of all of AutoTek’s issued capital stock or all or substantially all of AutoTek’s assets and intellectual property rights, or (B) the first annual anniversary of the effective date.

The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Licensing Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Licensing Agreement attached as an exhibit hereto.
