Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 28, 2011 we entered into an Industrial Building Lease (the “Lease”) with Golden Triangle Tech Center Investors, LLC (the “Landlord”), for approximately 39,931 rentable square feet of space in a building located at 7905 Golden Triangle Drive in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.  We intend to use the space primarily for administrative offices and for our warehouse, distribution and manufacturing operations.

The initial term of the Lease is for eight years and five months, commencing on the commencement date of the Lease. The commencement date of the Lease will be the later of (a) January 1, 2012 and (b) the date of substantial completion by the Landlord of the office area.  We have the option to extend the term of the Lease for an additional five year term as long as certain conditions are met.

The monthly base rent over the initial term of the Lease increases from approximately $34,100 during the first year of the Lease to approximately $42,000 during the last year of the Lease. The total amount of base rent payments over the initial term of the Lease is approximately $3.6 million.  In addition, after the sixth full month of the Lease, we are obligated to pay a portion of the building operating costs, which will equal approximately $17,200 per month.

Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On July 28, 2011, we entered into the Lease.  See Item 1.01 above for a description of the terms of the Lease, which description is incorporated by reference herein.
