Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 7, 2013, ESW CleanTech, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (“CleanTech”), entered into a commercial real estate lease (the “Lease”) with Trepte Industrial Park, Ltd., a California limited partnership (the “Lessor”), pursuant to which CleanTech will be leasing approximately 18,000 square feet of commercial property located in San Diego, California, from the Lessor to be used primarily for housing CleanTech’s manufacturing and diesel particulate filter cleaning operations.
The Lease provides for a 37-month lease term (commencing on July 1, 2013), subject to CleanTech’s option to extend the lease term for two additional 36-month periods. The current base rent under the Lease is $15,300 per month. Concurrently with the signing of the Lease and pursuant to the terms thereof, CleanTech paid to the Lessor an amount equal to $155,600, which amount reflects the first month’s base rent, the security deposit, the funding required for improvements done by the Lessor at CleanTech’s request (“Work Funding”), and pre-paid rent. The amounts of Work Funding and pre-paid rent advanced by CleanTech will be credited against monthly base rent payable by CleanTech beginning in January 2014 and each month thereafter, provided that CleanTech shall not have defaulted under the Lease.
