Item 1.01.                  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 16, 2006, FormFactor, Inc. entered into an amendment to the Lease Agreement dated October 5, 2004 with its landlord, Greenville Holding Company, LLC, under which FormFactor agreed to lease the remaining 37,439 square feet in the 49,742 square foot building located at 7545 Longard Road, Livermore, California.  The additional leased premises will be used primarily for manufacturing.  FormFactor leased approximately 131,000 square feet at its campus facility in Livermore, California prior to this lease amendment.

FormFactor and its landlord agreed to extend the term of the 7545 Longard Road building lease to 2021 with two five-year renewal terms at FormFactor’s option.  The base rent for this building will increase by approximately $327,000 per year on the earlier of July 15, 2007 or the date that FormFactor has installed its manufacturing equipment.  For fiscal 2006, base rent expense for FormFactor’s campus facility of 131,000 square feet is expected to be approximately $2,230,000.

FormFactor and its landlord intend to construct improvements at the building to prepare the additional leased premises for its intended uses.  The landlord has provided a tenant improvement allowance for a portion of the construction costs.
