SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

This Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”) is made and entered into as of this 28th day of April, 2017 (the “Execution Date”), by and between CRP/KING 830 WINTER, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, the successor-in-interest to Intercontinental Fund III 830 Winter Street, LLC, (the “Landlord”) and HISTOGENICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (formerly a Massachusetts corporation), (the “Tenant”).

WITNESSETH

A. Landlord’s predecessor and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease Agreement dated June 9, 2006, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease October 1, 2009 (the “First Amendment”) (as amended, the “Lease”) for the lease of certain premises containing 25,472 rentable square feet of space on the third floor and in the basement (collectively, the “Premises”) of the building located at 830 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451 (the “Building”).

B. The current Term of the Lease expires December 31, 2017 (the “Expiration Date”), and the parties desire to extend the Term for an additional period of seven (7) years.

C. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to reflect the foregoing and to make modifications to certain other provisions of the Lease, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree to amend the Lease as follows:

1. EXTENSION OF TERM

A. Additional Term. The Lease Term is hereby extended for an additional seven-(7)-year period (“Additional Term”), commencing on January 1, 2018, and expiring on December 31, 2024 (the “Extended Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated or further extended in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as hereby amended. The Additional Term shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions of the Lease in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Additional Term, except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this Second Amendment.

B. Tenant’s Extension Option. Reference is made to Section 36 of the Lease, pursuant to which Tenant was granted the right to extend the Lease Term for two Extension Terms of five (5) years each. In consideration of Landlord’s agreement to extend the Lease Term for the Additional Term, the parties hereby agree that Tenant shall have the option (“Extension Option”), in accordance with said Section 36, to extend the Lease Term for only one additional Extension Term of five (5) years, said Extension Term to commence as of January 1, 2025 and expire as of December 31, 2029. Tenant’s remaining Extension Option may be exercised by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of said Section 36, as hereby amended, provided that the references in the first paragraph of Section 36 to “initial Lease Term” and “initial Lease Term, as extended” shall be deemed to refer to the Additional Term.


C. Rent

(i) Fixed Rent. The amount of Fixed Rent payable by Tenant during the Additional Term shall (subject to Section 2.C below) be as set forth in this Section 1.C. All such Fixed Rent shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 of the Lease.

(ii) Additional Rent. Tenant shall continue to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses during the Additional Term in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of the Lease, respectively.

(iii) Electricity. Tenant shall continue to pay for electricity provided to the Premises during the Additional Term in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of the Lease.

D. Condition of Premises.

Since, as of the Execution Date, Tenant is in possession of the Premises, Tenant hereby agrees that, except for Landlord’s obligation to provide Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution, as set forth in Exhibit A, Second Amendment, and Landlord’s obligation to provide the Electrical Service Upgrade, as set forth in Section 2 below, Tenant shall accept the Premises during the Additional Term in “as-is” condition, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to refurbish the Premises and without any representations or warranties by Landlord to Tenant as to the condition of the Premises or the Building. Nothing herein contained shall in any way diminish or affect Landlord’s on-going service obligations under Section 6 of the Lease or Landlord’s repair, maintenance and/or replacement obligations under Section 13 of the Lease.

2. ELECTRICAL SERVICE UPGRADE

A. Landlord, at no cost to Tenant, will work with Eversource to increase the transformer/electrical capacity serving the Building by changing the electrical service from a

 

2


secondary metered service to a primary metered service (the “Electrical Service Upgrade”). However, in no event shall the additional Tenant electrical load (the “Additional Load”) resulting from the Second Amendment Work exceed 225 amps at 480 volts (i.e., the Additional Load is in addition to the current power capacity available to Tenant). Subject to final design requirements by Eversource, the Electrical Service Upgrade shall include, but not be limited to, the replacement of the existing transformer and the installation of a new transformer, resulting in a total of two transformers serving the Building. A total of 480 kW of power shall be made available to Tenant for the Additional Term, and the Extension Term, inclusive of the power currently available to Tenant under the Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, the main electrical service for the Building will remain at 25 watts per square foot, which includes base Building and available Tenant power in accordance with the Lease in effect immediately prior to the Execution Date.

B. Landlord anticipates that the Electrical Service Upgrade shall be substantially completed by December 31, 2017. However, except as set forth in Section 2.C below, if, for any reason, the Electrical Service Upgrade is not substantially completed by December 31, 2017, then Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, Tenant shall have no rights against Landlord, and Tenant’s obligations under the Lease shall not be affected by any delay in the performance of the Electrical Service Upgrade.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

  (1) If the Electrical Service Upgrade is substantially completed after the Initial Rent Credit Date, as hereinafter defined, but on or before the Second Rent Credit Date, as hereinafter defined, then Tenant shall receive a credit against the amount of Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder equal to $1,046.79 per day for each day between the Initial Rent Credit Date and the date the Electrical Service Upgrade is substantially completed.

 

  (2) If the Electrical Service Upgrade is substantially completed after the Second Rent Credit Date, then Tenant shall receive a credit against the amount of Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder equal to the sum of: (i) the product of $1,046.79 per day for each day between the Initial Rent Credit Date and the Second Rent Credit Date, plus (ii) $2,500.00 per day for each day between first day after the Second Rent Credit Date and the date the Electrical Service Upgrade is substantially completed.

 

  (3) The “Initial Rent Credit Date” shall be defined as the date that is ten (10) months following the Execution Date, except that the Initial Rent Credit Date shall be extended by the number of days (if any) that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Electrical Service Upgrade as the result of either: (i) delays caused by Eversource (“Eversource Delays”), or (ii) any other reasons beyond Landlord’s reasonable control except for Eversource Delays (“Other Causes Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control”). Eversource delays and Other Causes Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control are referred to collectively herein as “Excused Delays”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Rent Credit Date shall not be extended by any period of time prior to the date that Landlord gives Tenant written notice such Excused Delay.

 

3


  (4) The “Second Rent Credit Date” shall be defined as the date eighteen (18) months after the Execution Date, except that the Second Rent Credit Date shall be extended by the number of days (if any) that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Electrical Service Upgrade by reason of Other Causes Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Outside Date shall not be extended by any Other Cause Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control with respect to any period of time prior to the date that Landlord gives Tenant written notice such Other Cause Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control.

 

  (5) The provisions of this Section 2C set forth Tenant’s sole remedies, by at law and in equity in the event of any day in the performance of the Electric Service Upgrade.

EXHIBIT A, SECOND AMENDMENT

SECOND AMENDMENT WORK

WORK LETTER

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease (the “Lease”) by and between CRP/KING 830 WINTER, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and HISTOGENICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for Premises located at 830 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the leasehold improvements Tenant intends to perform in refurbishing the Premises for Tenant’s use during the Additional Term (the “Second Amendment Work”). The Second Amendment Work shall be consistent with the Scope of Work (“Scope of Work”) attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A-1, Second Amendment. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

I. Second Amendment Work

1. Tenant’s Plans. In connection with the performance of the Second Amendment Work, including without limitation, the installation of all furniture and fixtures, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval: (i) the names of and other reasonably requested information regarding Tenant’s proposed architect, general contractor, and subcontractors; (ii) a set of design/development plans sufficient for Landlord to approve Tenant’s proposed design of the Premises (the “Design/Development Plans”), and (iii) a full set of construction drawings (“Final Construction Drawings”) for the Second Amendment Work. The Design/Development Plans and the Final Construction Drawings are collectively referred to herein as the “Plans”. Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold such approvals, subject to the following: (x) the Design/Design Development Plans and Final Construction Drawings are consistent with the Scope of Work and comply with Landlord’s requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building and the Property, and (y) in the event that any portions of the Second Amendment Work affects the structure, roof, and/or Building systems, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to engage engineers and subcontractors, as applicable, designated by Landlord in designing and performing such portions of the Second Amendment Work. Landlord’s approval is solely given for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 1, and neither Tenant nor any third party shall have the right to rely upon Landlord’s approval of the Plans for any other purpose whatsoever. Landlord agrees to respond to any request for approval of the Plans on or before the date seven (7) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt thereof, except that with respect to any resubmission of Plans after the same have been reviewed and commented upon by Landlord, Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for approval of such resubmission on or before the date three (3) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such resubmission, provided that such resubmission clearly shows any changes to the previous set of Plans submitted by Tenant to Landlord by either bubbling or redlining.

 

A-1


2. Performance of Second Amendment Work. The Second Amendment Work shall be performed by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of the Lease (including, without limitation, Section 11 of the Lease, this Exhibit A, Second Amendment, and Exhibit A-1, Second Amendment). The Second Amendment Work shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, except for Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution, as hereinafter defined. Prior to commencing the Second Amendment Work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a schedule for the Second Amendment Work. Tenant shall not perform any portion of the Second Amendment Work that would require a shutdown of any common Building system unless (a) Tenant provides Landlord with at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice of such work requiring the shutdown, and (b) Tenant receives Landlord’s prior written approval of such shutdown, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Tenant shall be responsible (i) for connecting to the Building electrical system, whenever required, to bring additional power to the Premises (“Tenant’s Electrical Work”) and (ii) for all costs incurred by Landlord as the result of any shutdowns of the Building systems in connection with the Second Amendment Work (e.g., without limitation, the costs of employing emergency generators, the cost of restarting any Building system, the cost of supervisory personnel monitoring the shut down and start-up of the Building systems, etc.). Tenant’s Electrical Work shall be considered part of the Second Amendment Work. At Tenant’s election, Tenant’s Electrical Work (as hereinafter defined) shall either be performed: (1) by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, or (2) by Tenant. If Tenant performs Tenant’s Electrical Work, then Tenant’s Electrical Work shall be performed after Business Hours, and Tenant’s Electrical Work shall be performed by contractors designated by Landlord.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for costs incurred by Landlord as the result of any shutdowns of the Building systems in connection with Landlord’s Electrical Service Upgrade.

3. Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution. As an inducement to Tenant’s entering into this Second Amendment and provided there exists no uncured Event of Default, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of this Exhibit A, Second Amendment (including, without limitation, Section 4 below), provide to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance (the “Landlord’s Second Amendment Allowance”) of up to $891,520.00 (i.e., $35.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the “Maximum Amount”), to be applied by Tenant to the costs (“Permitted Costs”) incurred by Tenant in designing (“soft costs”) and in performing (“hard costs”) the Second Amendment Work. The amount, if any, by which the Maximum Amount exceeds the aggregate amount of Permitted Costs with respect to which Tenant submits a requisition to Landlord on or before the Outside Requisition Date is referred to herein as the “Unused Allowance Amount”. For the purposes hereof, Permitted Costs shall not include: (i) the cost of any of Tenant’s Property (i.e., Tenant’s furniture, equipment, fixtures and property of every kind, nature and description related or arising out of Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder, which may be in or upon the Premises or the Building) including without limitation telecommunications and computer equipment and all associated wiring and cabling, any de-mountable decorations, artwork and partitions, signs, and trade fixtures, (ii) the cost of any fixtures or Alterations that will be removed at the end of the Term, (iii) any fees paid to Tenant,

 

A-2


any Affiliate or successor, (iv) except as hereinafter set forth, any soft costs, or (v) except as set forth in Section 4 below, payment of Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to use up to $89,152.00 (i.e., $3.50 per rentable square foot of the Premises) of Landlord’s Second Amendment Allowance for soft costs (i.e., space planning and design, permit fees, signage, construction management fees, equipment, and cabling). Landlord shall impose no Landlord supervisory or oversight fees in connection with the Second Amendment Work, except that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days of billing therefor, for reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in engaging independent third party consultants and/or engineers to review Tenant’s Plans for the Second Amendment Work. In performing such review of Tenant’s Plans, Landlord may either use the consultants listed on Exhibit A-2, Second Amendment, or other consultants selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. “Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution” shall be the lesser of (x) the actual Permitted Costs or (y) the Maximum Amount, as defined above.

4. Application of a Portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution Against Annual Fixed Rent. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant may, by written notice given by Tenant to Landlord on or before December 1, 2017, elect to a portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution equal to up to $509,440.00 ($20.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the “Rent Credit”) as a credit against the installment(s) of Annual Fixed Rent first coming due after January 1, 2018. If Tenant timely makes such election, then the Maximum Amount shall be reduced by the Rent Credit. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of such election by December 1, 2017, then Tenant shall not be entitled to the Rent Credit.

5. Budget. Tenant shall have no right to submit any requisition to Landlord on account of Permitted Costs until Tenant has submitted to Landlord a detailed good faith budget (“Budget”) of Permitted Costs. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an update of the Budget at least once every two (2) months, but in any event after Tenant enters into a contract for the performance of the Second Amendment Work with its contractor.

(a) Tenant shall submit to Landlord reasonably detailed documentation evidencing the then current Budget at the time of each Budget update.

(b) Requisitions. Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Proportion (hereinafter defined) of the cost shown on each requisition (hereinafter defined) submitted by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of submission thereof by Tenant to Landlord until the entirety of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution has been exhausted. “Landlord’s Proportion” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is Maximum Amount (as reduced by the amount, if any, of the Rent Credit) of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution and the denominator of which is the Budget for Permitted Costs, as the denominator may change, from time to time. A “requisition” shall mean AIA Documents G-702 and G-703 duly executed and certified by Tenant’s architect and general contractor (accompanied by, without limitation, invoices from Tenant’s contractors, vendors, service providers and consultants (collectively, “Contractors”) and partial lien waivers and subordinations of lien, as specified in M.G.L. Chapter 254, Section 32 (“Lien Waivers”) with respect to the prior month’s requisition, and such other documentation as Landlord or any Mortgagee may reasonably request) showing in reasonable detail the costs of the item in question or of the improvements installed to date in the Premises, accompanied by certifications executed by the Chief Executive Officer,

 

A-3


Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer, Vice President, or other officer of Tenant that the amount of the requisition in question does not exceed the cost of the items, services and work covered by such requisition. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of written request from Landlord from time to time, provide to Landlord sufficient backup documentation relating to each requisition in order to verify the amount of Permitted Costs for Tenant’s requested payment. Tenant shall submit requisition(s) no more often than monthly.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained: (1) Landlord shall have no obligation to advance funds on account of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution more than once per month; (2) if Tenant fails to pay to Tenant’s contractors the amounts paid by Landlord to Tenant in connection with any previous requisition(s), Landlord shall thereafter have the right to have Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution paid directly to Tenant’s contractors; (3) Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution with respect to any requisition submitted prior to October 1, 2017 or after June 30, 2019 (the “Draw Period”); (4) Tenant shall not be entitled to any Unused Allowance Amount of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution; (5) Landlord’s obligation to pay any portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution shall be conditioned upon there existing no Event of Default by Tenant in its obligations under this Lease at the time that Landlord would otherwise be required to make such payment; and (6) in addition to all other requirements hereof, Landlord’s obligation to pay the final ten percent (10%) of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution shall be subject to simultaneous delivery of all Lien Waivers relating to items, services and work performed in connection with the Second Amendment Work. If Landlord declines to fund any requisition on the basis that, at the time that Tenant submitted such requisition to Landlord, Tenant is in default of its obligations under the Lease, then, if Tenant cures such default and so long as the Lease is still in full force and effect, Tenant shall again have the right to resubmit such requisition (as may be updated by Tenant for any work performed since the date of the previously submitted requisition) for payment subject to the terms and conditions of this Section I.5(c).

II. Miscellaneous

1. Tenant’s Authorized Representative. Tenant designates Peter Hamilton (email: ***@***, telephone ###-###-####; “Tenant’s Representative”) as the only person authorized to act for Tenant pursuant to this Work Letter. Landlord shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any request, approval, inquiry or other communication (“Communication”) from or on behalf of Tenant in connection with this Work Letter unless such Communication is in writing from Tenant’s Representative.
