Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

On June 30, 2010, Network Engines, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with Rainer Asset Management Company, LLC (the “Lessor”) that replaces and extends the Company’s existing lease for 83,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space located at 3501 E. Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75074.

 

The Lease Agreement has an initial term of 90 months, with two available extension options of three years each at the election of the Company.  The cumulative base rent under the initial term of the Lease totals $4,332,000, with rent payable monthly.  Under the terms of the Lease, the Company is responsible for the payment of additional rent items, which include property taxes, utilities, insurance premiums, common area costs, and maintenance costs.

 

The initial term under the Lease became effective on February 1, 2010 and expires July 31, 2017.  As a result, certain future base rent payments have been reduced in the Lease to compensate the Company for the higher base rents it paid under its previous lease.

 

The foregoing description of the Lease Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

 

10.2          Lease Agreement, dated June 30, 2010, between Network Engines, Inc and Rainer Asset Management Company, LLC
