SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

 

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (the “Amendment”) is entered into this 20th day of November, 2015, between DENVER ROAD, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Landlord”), and INSMED INCORPORATED, a Virginia corporation (“Tenant”). For purposes of this Amendment, the “Effective Date” shall be the date this Amendment has been executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant.

 

Landlord and Tenant are parties to a certain Lease (the “Original Lease”) dated December 31, 2013, as amended by a certain First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”) dated April 29, 2014 (the Original Lease and the First Amendment are referred to together herein as the “Lease”). The Lease covers premises deemed to contain approximately 42,857 rentable square feet (the “Existing Premises”) located in Building 10 (the “Building”), 10 Finderne Avenue, Bridgewater, New Jersey, as more particularly described in the Lease.

 

Landlord and Tenant desire for Tenant to lease additional premises consisting of an area deemed to contain 13,760 rentable square feet located on the third (3rd) floor of the Building, as shown on the plan attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A (the “2015 New Space”), and to otherwise amend certain terms and provisions of the Lease, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

 

For good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

1.             Effective as of the Effective Date, (i) Landlord shall deliver possession of the 2015 New Space to Tenant, and the Premises shall for all purposes under the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, include both the Existing Premises and the 2015 New Space, and (ii) the total space being leased by Landlord to Tenant, and by Tenant from Landlord, under the Lease, as amended by this Amendment (and, therefore, the “Premises”, as defined in the Lease) shall be deemed to contain a total of 56,617 rentable square feet.

 

2.             The Term of the Lease with respect to the 2015 New Space shall commence upon the Effective Date, and shall end coterminously with the Term for the Existing Premises, on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Lease).

 

3.             With respect to the 2015 New Space, the following terms and conditions shall be applicable:

 

(a)           Upon execution of this Amendment by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall deliver possession of the 2015 New Space to Tenant, and, subject to Tenant completing the 2015 New Space Landlord Work (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall accept possession of the 2015 New Space, vacant and in its current “AS IS” condition. Landlord’s obligations under clause (i) of the second sentence of Section 1.4 of the Lease shall not be applicable to the 2015 New Space. Landlord shall perform the following work in and to the 2015 New Space (the “2015 New Space Landlord Work”) at Landlord’s cost: (i) repair or replace any broken or malfunctioning window blinds or treatments in the 2015 New Space, and (ii) by December 31, 2015, replace contactors, motors and filters in the twenty-six (26) VAV boxes in the 2015 New Space identified on Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof, such that said VAV boxes

9.             Each party covenants, warrants and represents to the other party that no broker, other than Jones Lang LaSalle and Linque Management Company, Inc. (together, “Broker”), was instrumental in bringing about or consummating this Amendment and that it has had no conversations or negotiations with any broker except Broker concerning the leasing of the 2015 New Space. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party against and from any claims for any brokerage commissions and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by such party with any broker other than Broker.
