Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 21, 2010, Zhone Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Real Estate Purchase Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) to sell its Oakland campus, consisting of land and three buildings, to LBA Realty, LLC for $18.8 million in cash. A portion of the proceeds will be used to pay off the existing debt on the campus. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is currently expected to close by September 30, 2010.

At the same time, the Company entered into a Multi-Tenant Commercial/Industrial Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) to rent one of the buildings from LBA Realty for a five-year term. The Lease Agreement will be effective upon the close of the sale and has an initial annual rent of $498,875, with periodic rent escalations at a rate of approximately 2% per annum thereafter.

At the same time, the Company entered into a Discount Payoff Agreement to pay off the existing debt of $18.4 million held by LBA Realty with a maturity date of April 1, 2011 for a sum of $17.5 million.

The Company can offer no assurances that the sale-leaseback transaction will close on the terms described herein, or at all. The foregoing description of the sale-leaseback transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sale Agreement and the Lease Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
