On September 11, 2005, Capstone Turbine Corporation (the “Company”) gave notice pursuant to the OEM Agreement (the “Agreement”) with UTC Power, LLC (“UTCP”), dated March 23, 2005, of certain breaches of the Agreement by UTCP, including failure to meet sales targets for the year. UTCP will have ninety (90) calendar days following its receipt of the termination notice in which to cure the breaches or the Agreement will terminate. The Agreement permits UTCP to package the Company’s MicroTurbine products with chillers and heat exchange equipment manufactured by UTCP and to sell and service the integrated combined cooling heat and power generation units. The UTCP relationship may be deemed to be material to the Company. Sales to UTCP’s affiliated companies were approximately $2,485,000 and $1,044,000 for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and were approximately $1,500,000 and $137,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
