On March 10, 2014, we entered into an Industrial Building Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with Northwood RTC LLC (the “Landlord”) for 7,925 square feet of laboratory space in Durham, North Carolina (the “Premises”). The Lease has a term of 48 months, commencing on the later of May 12, 2014 or the date that the Landlord’s work on the Premises is completed. The minimum rent payable by us will be approximately $9,576 per month during the first 12 months of the Lease, will increase to approximately $9,813 per month during the second 12 months of the Lease, will increase to approximately $10,058 per month during the third 12 months of the Lease and will increase to approximately $10,309 per month thereafter through the expiration of the Lease. In addition, we have the option to extend the Lease for an additional three year term, which would commence upon the expiration of the initial 48 month term. In the event we choose to extend the term of the Lease, the minimum monthly rent payable for the additional term will be determined according to the then-prevailing market rate.
The foregoing description of the Lease is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
