ITEM 1.01.    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On October 16, 2013, we and SBC&D Co. (the “Lessor”) entered into a first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Original Lease Agreement (as defined below) for our facility at 3011 N. First Street, San Jose, California.
The First Amendment amends the original lease agreement dated May 11, 2010 (“Original Lease Agreement”) between us and Novellus Systems, Inc. (the “Landlord”), contingent upon the Lessor acquiring title to the facility from Landlord (such date, the “Effective Date”), expected to occur on or about October 30, 2013 pursuant to a purchase agreement dated October 10, 2013 between Lessor and Landlord. The Original Lease Agreement is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2017.
The First Amendment provides for (i) extension of the term of the lease for a period of approximately one hundred thirty-nine (139) months from the Effective Date, (ii) elimination of the early termination option contained within the Original Lease Agreement and (iii) elimination of the cap with respect to the payments we make for the operating costs of the facility or Lessor’s obligation to provide certain other utilities to the facility. The First Amendment will maintain our rental rate of the Original Lease Agreement through February 2016 and will increase our monthly basic rent to $195,853 effective March 1, 2016 and automatically increase 2.5% each year thereafter through the end of the extended term of the lease. In addition, the First Amendment would provide us with four months of free rent and a tenant improvement allowance of $1 million in the aggregate in equal installments over the course of the ten months after the Effective Date to be used for the modification, refurbishment, construction or installation of improvements to our facility.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the First Amendment does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties under the First Amendment or the Original Lease Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment that will subsequently be filed as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
