Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 31, 2012, Huron Consulting Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a lease amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) with Union Tower, LLC (the “Landlord”) for the Company’s principal executive offices located at 550 West Van Buren Street, Chicago, Illinois (the “Premises”). The Fourth Amendment extends and expands the prior lease agreement dated December 2003, as amended (the “Lease”), with the Landlord for the same location.
The Fourth Amendment extends the term of the Lease from October 1, 2014 through and including September 30, 2024, and terminates the Lease with respect to certain leased space at the Premises which the Company had previously vacated, reducing the size of the Premises from the current 116,621 square feet to 108,728 square feet. Effective April 1, 2013, under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, additional leased space will be added to the Premises, increasing the size of the Premises to 129,395 square feet.
Under the Fourth Amendment, the future base rent payments for the Premises will be as follows:

| * | Subject to abatement as provided in the Fourth Amendment. |
In addition to the above future base rent payments, the Company will be responsible for its pro rata share of expenses and taxes for the building.
The Fourth Amendment contains a one-time expansion right exercisable during 2013 for an additional contiguous floor of 20,667 square feet (subject to the current tenant not renewing its lease for such space), a renewal option to extend the lease for an additional five year period, and a right of first offer on any space in the building of over 8,000 contiguous square feet that becomes available. The estimated construction costs for improvement and expansion is approximately $1.8 million, net of a tenant improvement allowance. Under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the Company has the right to terminate the Lease effective September 30, 2021 subject to certain conditions and payment of an early termination fee.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Fourth Amendment, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.
