On July 19, 2006 Ceramics Process Systems Corporation (CPS) entered into a commercial lease with Gifford Investments, Inc ("Gifford"), a Massachusetts corporation, for use of buildings and real estate located at 111 South Worcester Street, Chartley, Massachusetts 02712.

There is no relationship between CPS and Gifford other than the arms-length relationship of tenant and landlord as evidenced by the commercial lease.

The leased premises are 37,520 square feet of rentable space located on approximately seven (7) acres of land at 111 South Worcester Street, Chartley, Massachusetts 02712. The term of the lease is ten (10) years, commencing as of March 1, 2006 and ending on February 29, 2016. The lease is a standard form "triple net" lease wherein CPS is responsible for taxes, utilities and maintenance. Rent due under the lease is $8,333.33 per month in the first year of the term, increasing from year-to-year to $12,500.00 in the last year of the term.

During the term of the lease CPS has an option to purchase the leased premises and property from Gifford for the fair market value or $1,100,000, whichever is highest; CPS also has a right of first offer.

A copy of the lease is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
