Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

In August 2005, GuruNet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“GuruNet”, or the “Company”), notified Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) that as of September 10, 2005, the financial advisory services arrangement between the two parties would be terminated. Maxim had rendered such services to GuruNet over the past 8 months pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated January 20, 2005 (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Maxim provided GuruNet with advice relating to financial and investment banking matters.

The Company’s decision to terminate the Agreement was based on the fact that it no longer required Maxim’s services.

Under the terms of GuruNet’s underwriting agreement in connection with its October 2004 IPO, Maxim, one of the underwriters involved in the IPO, may designate one candidate to the Company’s nominating committee for nomination for election to Gurunet’s board of directors at each annual or special meeting of our stockholders at which directors are to be elected, during the three-year period following the IPO. Mark B. Segall, Maxim Group LLC’s initial director nominee, was appointed by the Company’s board of directors to fill a vacancy created by an increase in the size of the board, to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Gurunet has agreed to use its best efforts to obtain the election of Maxim’s nominee to the board of directors at each annual or special meeting at which directors are to be elected.
