Item 1.01.                Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 1, 2015, Nortech Systems Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with LSOP 3 MN 3, LLC (the “Landlord”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to lease approximately 19,000 square feet of space in Maple Grove, Minnesota for its new corporate headquarters.  The Company will occupy the new office space upon completion of the premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease Agreement.

 

The Lease Agreement provides for monthly rent payments during the lease term at an annual rate that increases from approximately $139,000 to $165,000, as set forth in the Lease Agreement.  In addition to its rent obligation, the Company will also be responsible for certain costs, among other things, operating expenses, taxes, and insurance costs.

 

The Lease Agreement is scheduled to commence upon completion of the premises and expire eighty-nine months thereafter.  The Company may extend the term of the Lease Agreement for one successive five-year terms upon advance notice. The rent to be paid during the renewal terms, if any, will be determined in accordance with the Lease Agreement.  The Lease Agreement also contains a right of first offer for the Company for any continuous space that may become available.

 

The Lease Agreement contains customary default provisions allowing the Landlord to terminate the Lease Agreement if the Company fails to remedy a breach of any of its obligations under the Lease Agreement within specified time periods, or upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

 

The foregoing summary description of the terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
