Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 30, 2012, Rockwell Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with EZE Management Properties Limited Partners (“Landlord”) for the Company’s Greer, South Carolina facilities. The Lease Renewal replaces the prior lease agreement dated March 19, 2008 (as amended February 17, 2011) with Landlord for the same facilities.

The term of the Lease commences on March 1, 2013 and continues through February 28, 2015. The Company has the option to renew the Lease for an additional year, through February 28, 2016. The monthly rent payments under the lease will be $15,437.50 per month, plus an additional payment of certain costs relating to real estate taxes and insurance premiums. In the event the Company defaults under the Lease, the Landlord may terminate the lease, and accelerate and declare the entire remaining unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease to be immediately due and payable.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Lease, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.49, and is incorporated herein by reference.
