Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 9, 2014, Dealertrack Technologies, Inc. (“Dealertrack”) entered into a seventeen-year office lease with X-Cell III Realty Associates LLC (“X-Cel”), as landlord, pursuant to which Dealertrack will lease a new headquarters facility (the “Lease”), consisting of approximately 233,000 square feet of office space in North Hills, New York.

 

The Lease provides for initial base rent of approximately $7.6 million in the first year of the Lease term, with increases of 2.5% annually thereafter, subject to increases of 3% if the Consumer Price Index for the prior twelve months has been equal to or greater than 4%. In addition, Dealertrack is responsible for additional rent to cover certain taxes and insurance charges.

 

The Lease has an initial term of seventeen years and is scheduled to commence upon occupancy of the building, expected to be in early 2016. The Lease provides that Dealertrack has an option to extend the term of the Lease for an additional ten years.

 

In the event of a default by Dealertrack under the Lease, X-Cel has the right to terminate the Lease and take possession of the leased property. In such event, Dealertrack would be liable, in monthly installments, for liquidated damages payable to X-Cel in the amount of the deficiency in rent payments over the remainder of the term of the Lease.

 

The foregoing is a summary description of the material terms of the Lease, not a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. For additional information, please refer to the full text of the Lease, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
