Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Extension of Facilities Lease

On August 30, 2010, Socket Mobile, Inc. (the "Company") entered into the Second Amendment to Standard Industrial/Commercial Multi-Lessee Lease-Net (the "Second Amendment") between the Company and Newark Eureka Industrial Capital LLC (the "Landlord"), as amended (the "Facilities Lease") under which the Company leases its 37,131 square foot headquarters facility at 39700 Eureka Drive, Newark, California. The Second Amendment is effective as of August 23, 2010 and extends the lease termination date from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2018 and modifies the Facilities Lease as described below. The original lease agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 13, 2006.

Under terms of the Second Amendment, the Company's base rent under the Facilities Lease is abated in its entirety in the amount of $31,982.51 for the months of September through December 2010. In addition, the base rent for the months of January 2011 through June 2012 is reduced by $1,278.28 per month. The abatement and reductions in the base rent for such months is conditioned upon the Company's full performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Facilities Lease. The base rent under the Facilities Lease shall be $29,704.80 per month for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. The base rent increases annually thereafter at a rate of four percent per year for the remaining five years under the Facilities Lease.

The Second Amendment also increases the maximum limit on common area operating expenses payable by the Company under the Facilities lease from three percent of the base rent to four percent of the base rent effective January 1, 2012 and removes the renewal option contained in the Facilities Lease. All other terms and provisions of the Facilities Lease remain in effect.
