Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 22, 2009, UTEK Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Gators Lender, LLC (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed $1,750,000 from the Lender. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued a Promissory Note (the “Note”) to the Lender in the principal amount of $1,750,000. UTEK Real Estate Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a co-borrower under the Note. UTEK will use the proceeds to fund its next stage of growth and drive further adoption of its online licensing platforms.

Pursuant to an Absolute Guaranty of Payment and Performance, this loan is guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, including newly formed subsidiaries. In addition, this guaranty is secured pursuant to a Mortgage and Security Agreement encumbering vacant real property located in Hernando County, Florida, which is owned by Cortez 114, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company.

Interest is payable on the outstanding principal amount of the Note at an annual rate of eight (8.0) percent. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis, in arrears, on the 15th day of each month, beginning April 15, 2010. The entire principal amount outstanding and all accrued interest is payable in full no later than October 22, 2012. The entire principal amount outstanding may be repaid earlier at the discretion of the Company, subject to certain prepayment penalties. The Note also includes customary event of default provisions, including the failure to make timely payments, material misrepresentations, change of control of the Company, defaults on other obligations in excess of $100,000, the grant of a senior security interest on the property securing this loan, the liquidation of the Company, bankruptcy and certain judicial judgments.

As additional consideration for this loan, the Company also entered into a Warrant Agreement with the Lender to allow the Lender to purchase up to 437,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time until October 22, 2014. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the exercise price to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock will be equal to 105% of the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery by the Lender to the Company of the “Notice of Determination of the Exercise Price,” which must be delivered prior to the 90th day after the date of the Warrant Agreement. In the event that such notice is not delivered prior to the 90th day after the date of the Warrant Agreement, then the exercise price to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock will be equal to 105% of the volume weighted average closing price of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Warrant Agreement. The exercise price is subject to certain conditions and adjustments, including as a result of any dividends declared on the Company’s common stock, prior to the issuance of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement.

The above summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Warrant Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
