Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated September 25, 2009,  Forgent Networks, Inc.

The purchase price was set at $.35 per share, for aggregate consideration of $175,000. The shares of common stock were offered and sold to Mr. Goepel in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, in relia nce upon representations provided by Mr. Goepel.  In addition, Mr. Goepel was provided with “piggyback” registration rights, which allows Mr. Goepel to have the shares of common stock purchased by Mr. Goepel pursuant to the Purchase Agreement registered by the Company in the event that the Company registers shares of common stock in the future (subject to certain customary exclusions and limitations).


All of such securities offered and sold by us have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.


The information provided in this current report is not an offer to sell nor is it a solicitation of an offer for the purchase of any of our securities and is intended to comply with Rule 135c of the Securities Act.



Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.


Resignation of Chief Executive Officer.


On September 8, 2009, Nancy Harris tendered a letter of resignation as President and CEO of the Company, effective September 30, 2009.  The Board has accepted such resignation from Ms. Harris.


Appointment of Interim Chief Executive Officer.


On September 15, 2009, the Company appointed Patrick Goepel as Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective as of October 1, 2009.


On September 25, the Company and Mr. Goepel agreed to terms and executed an Employment Agreement effective as of September 15, 2009, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.    The following description of the Employment Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Employment Agreement.


Pursuant to Mr. Goepel’s Employment Agreement, Mr. Goepel will be named Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective October 1, 2009. Mr. Goepel will be entitled to a base salary of $125,000 per annum, plus the ability to participate in all benefit plans afforded to other officers and employees of the Company.  Unless the Company and Mr. Goepel mutually agree prior to January 1, 2010 for Mr. Goepel to become Chief Executive Officer on a more permanent basis, Mr. Goepel’s position as interim Chief Executive Officer will end on December 31, 2009.  In such event, Mr. Goepel will be entitled to a cash bonus of $35,000.


Pursuant to Mr. Goepel’s Employment Agreement, in the event that Mr. Goepel becomes the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, his base salary will remain at $125,000 per annum; however, he shall also become eligible to receive an annual “performance bonus” calculated based on the Company’s earnings and cash flow growth, as detailed more fully on Schedule A of the Employment Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.


Mr. Goepel’s Employment Agreement also provides for an additional “change of control payment” in the event of a “change of control” (as defined in the Employment Agreement). Such change of control payment is based upon the Company’s earnings and cash flow growth and more fully described on Schedule A of the Employment Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.


The Employment Agreement is terminable by either party at any time upon thirty (30) days prior notice while Mr. Goepel is interim Chief Executive Officer and upon sixty (60) days prior notice if and when Mr. Goepel becomes Chief Executive Officer.  In the event that the Company terminates Mr. Goepel’s employment other then for “cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Goepel shall be entitled to severance equal to six (6) months of Mr. Goepel’s then current base salary. In addition, Mr. Goepel shall be entitled to his pro rata performance bonus based upon the portion of the year occurring prior to such termination.


In addition, Mr. Goepel was awarded an option to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2009 Equity Plan.  Such option vests with respect to 25% of the shares on September 15, 2010 and an additional 6.25% each three month period thereafter.  The exercise price of such options was set at $.35 per share of common stock, a price which the Board determined was a material amount over the then current fair market value of such stock.


Mr. Goepel was also offered the right to purchase 500,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to $.35 pursuant to a Purchase Agreement between the Company and Mr. Goepel dated September 25, 2009 and attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein as more fully described in Item 3.02 hereof. The Board determined that $.35 represented a premium to the then current fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

(b)

The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 5, of a legend on any of the Shares in the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  

5.2

Removal of Legend. Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 5.1 hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission).  The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 5, it will, no later than three trading days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing the Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third trading day, the “Legend Removal Date”), along with an acceptable legal opinion and broker representation letter, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Company’s transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

5.3

Compliance with Securities Act.  Purchaser agrees that such Purchaser will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Shares as set forth in Section 5.1 is predicated upon the Company's reliance upon this understanding.

5.4

Form D and Blue Sky. If required, Company shall file a Form D with respect to the issuance of the Rights (or the issuance of the underlying Common Stock) as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and, upon written request, provide a copy thereof to Purchaser promptly after such filing. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Shares for sale to Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to Purchaser promptly after such filing.  However, the Company shall not be required to execute any general consent to service of process in order to obtain such blue sky clearance, except in a jurisdiction where the Company is already subject to such proces s.

The Company will promptly notify Purchaser in writing at least twenty (20) days prior to filing any registration statement for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (excluding any registration statements on Form S-8 or on Form S-4 or any registration statement in connection with a public offering of any security that is not Common Stock) (a “Piggyback Registration”), and the Company will afford Purchaser an opportunity to register on such registration statement (a “Piggyback Registration Statement”) all or any part of the Shares.  If Purchaser desires to include in the Piggyback Registration Statement all or any part of the Shares, Purchaser must, within ten (10) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing and inform the Company of the number of Shares Purchaser wishes to include in the Piggyback Registrat ion Statement.  If  Purchaser decides not to include all of the Shares in the Piggyback Registration Statement, Purchaser will nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Shares in any subsequent Piggyback Registration, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b)

If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, then the Company will so advise Purchaser.  In such event, the right of any of Purchaser’s Shares to be included in a Piggyback Registration will be conditioned upon Purchaser’s participation in such offering on the same terms and conditions as the Common Stock for the account of the Company or other stockholders, as the case may be, and the inclusion of Purchaser’s Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  If Purchaser desires to distribute his Shares through such underwriting, he will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.5, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwrit ten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Purchaser’s Shares) from the Piggyback Registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the Piggy Registration and the Piggyback Registration will be allocated, first, to the Company, second, to any party exercising demand registration rights or any party to which the Company is contractually obligated to register such party’s shares first, and third, any other securities requested to be included in such offering by any other stockholders (including Purchaser) of the Company, pro-rata based on the number of shares held by such stockholder compared to the total number of shares held by all such stockholders.  If Purchaser disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Purchaser may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement.  Any Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting will be excluded and withdrawn from the Piggyback Registration.  

(c)

The Company will pay all expenses incurred in connection with a Piggyback Registration, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, state blue sky fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration.

(d)

The obligations of the Company to register the Shares under this Section 5.5 shall terminate whenever Purchaser no longer holds the Shares or may sell all such Shares without registration pursuant to an exemption under Rule 144 or other exemption then applicable.

Company Cash” shall mean, as of applicable Determination Date, the cash on hand of the Company as determined by the Company’s accountants in accordance with GAAP.


Determination Date” shall mean, with respect to: (i) the Performance Bonus Payment calculation, July 31 of such year, or the last day of the fiscal year if such is later changed, and (ii) the Change of Control Payment, the date of the effectiveness of such Change of Control.

Performance Bonus:  The Company shall pay the Executive the Performance Bonus, if any, on the Payment Date following the completion of each fiscal year of the Company.   In the event Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for “cause” (as detailed in Section 10(c) of the Agreement), the Company shall pay Executive a pro-rated portion of the Performance Bonus based on the portion of the fiscal year for which Executive was employed provided, however, such pro-rated Performance Bonus shall be paid at the end of the applicable fiscal year and shall be based on the full fiscal year performance of the Company (including the part of the fiscal year following the Executive’s departure), and all calculations set forth herein shall use the last day of the fiscal year as the Determination Date.  The Performance Bonus for fiscal year 2009/2010 shall be pro-rated by the portion of the fiscal year from the Effective Date through the end of the fiscal year (or Executive’s termination date, if sooner).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall be entitled to the Change of Control Payment if the Executive leaves the employ of the Company or is terminated for any reason following the Change of Control, even if such departure is prior to the Payment Date.

The Change of Control Payment shall be calculated as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA  + Company Cash -- Aggregate Debt --  Baseline Amount           X       1060

                             Outstanding Shares
