Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On July 12, 2011, Lapis Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with UTA Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“UTA”), pursuant to which UTA agreed to lend to the Company up to $6,000,000 of secured debt.
 
Under the Purchase Agreement, UTA agreed to purchase at the initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) a 30-month, secured promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “First Note”). The First Note will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and principal will be due to be repaid in three equal principal payments of $1,000,000 each, on each of the first and second anniversaries of its issuance and on the maturity date. Net proceeds from the sale of the First Note are to be used as working capital for the Company and its subsidiaries. UTA also agreed to purchase a 27-month, secured promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Second Note”) at the second closing (the “Second Closing”), which closing is to occur not later than nine months after the Initial Closing, subject to the closing conditions set forth Purchase Agreement. The First Note and the Second Note will be secured by the pledge of certain of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and will be identical other than their duration.
 
The Company also agreed to issue to UTA upon the Initial Closing a warrant (the “First Warrant”) to purchase up to 952,227 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), representing, as of the date of the Initial Closing, 12% of outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.  Upon the Second Closing, the Company agreed to issue to UTA a second warrant (the “Second Warrant” and, together with the First Warrant, the “Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock in order that the Warrants, and any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the First Warrant, represent 12% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as of the Second Closing.  The Company will grant to UTA certain demand and “piggy back” registration rights in respect of the shares underlying the Warrants, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
The Company has made customary representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement, and the obligations of each of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby are subject to the closing conditions set forth therein.  The Company has agreed to customary covenants and that within four months following the Initial Closing, the Company will satisfy the corporate governance requirements under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5605 and Rule 5610 as if the Common Stock were listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
