On January 21, 2010 Rentech, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a second amendment to lease (the “Second Amendment”) with Center West (the “Landlord”). The Second Amendment amends the Company’s lease agreement with the Landlord, dated as of March 30, 2006 (the “Lease Agreement”), provides for the lease of Suites 600, 602 and 603 of the building located at 10877 Wilshire Boulevard, in Los Angeles, California (the “Office Space”) and discontinues the Company’s lease of Suites 708 and 710 (the “Existing Space”). The Second Amendment increases the total square footage leased by the Company, but the rent for the Office Space will remain the same as the current rent for the Existing Space through the first 13 months of the Second Amendment, followed by certain increases in the rent for the Office Space. The Office Space will serve as the Company’s administrative offices. The total rentable area of the Office Space is approximately 12,784 square feet. The Second Amendment extends the term of the Lease Agreement from June 14, 2010 until June 14, 2015.
A copy of the Second Amendment is filed as an exhibit to this report, and is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions of the Second Amendment set forth above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the exhibit.
