Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 7, 2006, Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Lease Amendment with Brooker Creek North I, LLP (“Brooker Creek”), which amends the Company’s Lease Agreement with Brooker Creek dated April 21, 2004 respecting the Company’s principal offices located at 700 Brooker Creek Boulevard, Suite 1800, Oldsmar, Florida. The original Lease Agreement covered approximately 17,600 square feet of space. Under the amendment, the Company elected to lease an additional 9,600 square feet of space at the Brooker Creek Boulevard location, beginning on August 1, 2006 and ending with the termination of the April 21, 2005 Lease Agreement. The amendment requires the Company to pay rent for the additional space in an amount of $10,400 per month for the first full year ending July 31, 2007, with annual increases thereafter through the entire lease term to a maximum of $13,176 per month for the period from August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015, the end of the initial term of the lease. The amendment requires Brooker Creek to provide certain building improvements for the additional square feet covered by the amendment, in addition to a $200,000 tenant improvement allowance.

Under the amendment, the Company has the option to renew and extend the lease for the entire Brooker Creek premises for two consecutive terms of five years. Should a renewal option be exercised, the base rental rate will escalate 2.5% annually. In addition, Brooker Creek granted the Company an ongoing right of first refusal to lease all or a portion of any space in the building located at 700 Brooker Creek Boulevard when it becomes available, subject to any rights of first refusal existing prior to June 7, 2006. Upon any exercise of the Company’s right of first refusal, the rental rate and tenant improvement allowance for space covered by the option will be negotiated. Finally, the amendment provides that the Company will have the right to terminate the April 21, 2005 Lease Agreement, as amended, on either August 1, 2011 or January 1, 2012 subject to certain conditions.
