Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 14, 2006, PortalPlayer, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a first amendment (the “Lease Amendment”) to the lease agreement with Touchstone Building LLC (the “Landlord”), dated as of January 13, 2001, for approximately 10,885 square feet of office space at 12131 113th Avenue N.E., Kirkland, WA 98034 (the “Original Lease” and as amended by the Lease Amendment, the “Lease”). The Lease Amendment was contingent upon the Landlord providing written notice to the Company that a third party leasehold had been terminated; such notice was provided on February 16, 2006.

 

The terms of the Lease Amendment include the expansion of the leased premises to include, as of March 1, 2006, an additional 6,804 square feet of office space at 12131 113th Avenue N.E., Kirkland, WA 98034 (the “Expansion Space”). The termination date of the Lease Amendment is December 31, 2008.

 

The adjusted base monthly rent under the Lease for the entire leased premises is amended as follows:

 

From January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2006; $14,513.33;

from March 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006; $23,585.33;

from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007; $24,690.90; and

from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008; $25,427.94.

 

In addition to base rent, the Company will continue to be responsible for certain costs and charges specified in the Lease, including certain operating expenses, capital expenditures on the property incurred by the Landlord, real estate taxes and utility expenses. The Company intends to make certain improvements to the spaces covered by the Lease. The Landlord will pay the first $104,581 of the costs of construction, and the Company will pay amounts in excess.

 

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Lease Amendment. It is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Lease Amendment attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
