Pursuant to the Agreement with FundQuest, the Company provided FundQuest and its clients with the Company’s platform technology and support services, replacing FundQuest’s technology platform. The Company earned fees based upon a contractual percentage of assets under administration. As a result of the acquisition of FundQuest on December 13, 2011 (Note 3), the Agreement was terminated, and all of the assets and liabilities associated with this Agreement were eliminated. The Company determined the fair value of the Agreement to be approximately $4,897 using a discounted cash flow analysis and as a result, the Company incurred contract settlement charges of approximately $1,183 which is included in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2010, the estimate of the present value of these payments was approximately $30,400.
