Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 22, 2011, OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (“OCZ”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among OCZ, Indilinx Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Indilinx”), the shareholders of Indilinx (the “Sellers”) and DLS Law Firm, as Seller Representative.  In the Amendment, OCZ agreed to fix the stock consideration at 4.2 million shares of OCZ common stock, subject to certain adjustments, to cap the working capital purchase price adjustment at $100,000, and to revise the provisions regarding termination fees payable to OCZ.  The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Concurrently and in connection with the closing under the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), OCZ entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Sellers.  Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, OCZ has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the shares of common stock sold to the Sellers on or prior to the 30th calendar day following the Closing Date (as defined below), to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible, and to grant certain piggyback registration rights to the Sellers.  The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Concurrently and in connection with the Closing, OCZ entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) by and among as the Seller Representative and Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Concurrently and in connection with the Closing, certain employment-related agreements became effective, including a two-year employment agreement, a restrictive covenant agreement and a nondisclosure and assignment agreement (collectively, the “Employment-Related Agreements”), with certain key employees of Indilinx, including Bumsoo Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of Indilinx and Hyun Mo Chung, Chief Technology Officer of Indilinx.  Pursuant to the Employment-Related Agreements, Mr. Kim will serve as CEO and President of Indilinx and President of OCZ’s Semiconductor Division, will receive a base salary of $250,000, will be eligible to earn incentive compensation of up to 10% of his base salary in accordance with OCZ’s executive bonus plan, and, subject to approval of OCZ’s Board of Directors, will be granted a stock option to purchase 170,000 shares of OCZ common stock under its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Mr. Chung will serve as Chief Technology Officer of Indilinx and Senior Vice President of R&D of OCZ, will receive a base salary of KRW 165,000,000, will be eligible to earn incentive compensation of up to 10% of his base salary in accordance with OCZ’s executive bonus plan, and, subject to approval of OCZ’s Board of Directors, will be granted a stock option to purchase 150,000 shares of OCZ common stock under the Plan.  Pursuant to the Employment-Related Agreements, each of Messrs. Kim and Chung has also agreed to certain non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality and inventions assignment obligations.  The foregoing description of the Employment-Related Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment-Related Agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
