Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Manufacturing, Laboratory and Office Space Lease
On February 5, 2015, SunEdison Semiconductor LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SunEdison Semiconductor Limited (“SSL”), entered into a Manufacturing, Laboratory and Office Space Lease (the “Lease”) with SunEdison, Inc. (“SunEdison”) for the lease by the Company to SunEdison of certain space for manufacturing, laboratory and related office purposes located at the Company’s premises at 501 Pearl Drive, O’Fallon, Missouri. SunEdison owns approximately 26% of the outstanding ordinary shares of SSL. The foregoing summary of the Lease does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The total leased area, including building space and outside land, is approximately 216,765 sq. ft. The Lease calls for specified rent payments applicable to each of eight different portions of the premises. The monthly rent for the portions ranges from $641.67 to $96,667 depending on the area and use of the portion that is leased. The rent is payable in advance on the first day of each month during the term of the Lease. There is a late charge of 6% of any overdue amount plus default interest of 5% per annum until paid. The Lease does not require a security deposit.
The Lease has a term of two years, provided that the Lease may be terminated for certain portions of the leased premises prior to the expiration of the two-year term. The Company may terminate the Lease if SunEdison commits a material breach of the Lease through one of the following acts of default: failure to pay rent, abandonment, failure to perform, bankruptcy or misstatement and fails to remedy a breach within the applicable stated time frame.
The Lease prohibits SunEdison from handling any hazardous materials, as specifically defined in the Lease, without the Company’s prior written consent or permit issued by the appropriate regulatory authority.
Each party agrees in the Lease to indemnify the other party and their respective partners, officers, directors, agents and employees for certain described liabilities or damages suffered by them arising out of their actions pursuant to the Lease. Each party is required to maintain at its sole expense “all-risk” property insurance, liability insurance and workers compensation insurance.
The Lease prohibits SunEdison from assigning, encumbering or otherwise transferring the Lease or any interest therein, or subletting any of the premises without the Company’s prior written consent or unless the action constitutes a permitted transfer as specifically identified in the Lease.
The Lease and SunEdison’s rights thereunder are subordinate to existing ground leases, master leases, present mortgages and deeds of trust, past and future advances made under any existing mortgages and deeds of trust and all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases, mortgages and deeds of trust.
