Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Amended Lease and Settlement Agreement


On November 11, 2011 and effective as of November 1, 2011, Neah Power Systems, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) entered into a 4th Lease Amendment Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with our landlord, Teachers Insurance & Annuity Association of America (the “Landlord”). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, we extended the term of the lease on our current facility and settled with the Landlord for past balances due.


Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the Landlord agreed to extend the term of the lease on the following terms:


            our monthly rent will be $9,500, plus operating costs, commencing November 1, 2011;
             we paid the Landlord $12,705 to increase our total deposit security to $23,298; and
             the lease term is extended for two years, to expire on October 31, 2013.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Amended Agreement, we reached resolution with the Landlord on our past due obligations under the lease through October 31, 2011, on the following terms:


we mutually agreed to cap the total past due obligations at $350,000 (estimated total in excess of $380,000), and the Landlord released us from the obligation to pay all past due balances in excess of $195,000;

we agreed to a payment schedule for the remaining $195,000, as follows:  (i) we paid $35,000 to the Landlord following execution of the Amended Agreement, and (ii) the $160,000 balance is to be paid in monthly payments of $6,667 for 24 months commencing December 2011; and

we can prepay the balance at any time without penalty.


Under terms of the agreement, the Landlord has executed and filed with the Snohomish County, WA full satisfaction of the prior outstanding judgments entered in favor of the Landlord dated December 4, 2009 and October 1, 2010.


To secure performance of our obligations under the lease and payment of the remaining past due balance, we executed a “Confession of Judgment, Order and Writ of Restitution” (the “Order”) in favor of the Landlord in the amount of $350,000.  This Order is to be held by the Landlord and may be filed with the Court to be enforced in the event we default under the lease.  Once we pay in full the remaining $160,000 of the past due balance, the Order will be cancelled and delivered back to us.


The summary description of the Amended Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Agreement that is attached as an Exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, we have included as an Exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K the form of the Order to be held by the Landlord under the Amended Agreement.


Sale of Series B Preferred Stock

 

                On October 21, 2011, we entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sierra Trading Corp. (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we sold and issued to the Purchaser 142,200 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) in exchange for $142,200 or $1.00 per share.  In July 2011, we previously sold 322,904 shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the same terms.  The Purchase Agreement was the same form of purchase agreement as we used in July 2011, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on July 27, 2011. As of the date of this Current Report, there are a total of 465,104 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.


The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock are summarized in Item 5.03 as filed in Form 8-K filed with Securities Exchange Commission on July 15, 2011 and which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
