Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease.

B.Landlord and Tenant desire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to amend the Lease to, among other things, expand the Permitted Use and the size of the Original Premises by adding certain premises on the ground floor of the Building containing approximately 15,116 rentable square feet.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.

Permitted Use as set forth in the basic lease provisions on page 1 of the Lease is restated as follows:

Permitted Use: Research and development laboratory, GMP manufacturing, related office and other related uses consistent with the character of the Project, including, without limitation, mRNA development, toxicology lab, and QC lab, or otherwise in compliance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof.”

3.

Delivery.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver (“Delivery” or “Deliver”) the First Expansion Premises to Tenant 1 business day after the mutual execution and delivery of this First Amendment for the construction by Tenant of the Tenant Improvements. The “First Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be the date that Landlord Delivers the First Expansion Premises to Tenant. The “First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (i) the date that the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Completed or (ii) February 28, 2021; provided, however, that in no event shall the First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date occur prior to January 1, 2021.  As used herein, the terms “Tenant Improvements” and “Substantially Completed” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the work letter attached to this First Amendment as Exhibit B (“First Expansion Premises Work Letter”).

Upon request of either party, the parties shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date and First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date in a form attached here to as Exhibit C; provided, however, the failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect the parties’ rights hereunder.

Except as set forth in the First Expansion Premises Work Letter: (i) Tenant shall accept the First Expansion Premises in their condition as of the date Landlord Delivers the First Expansion Premises to Tenant; (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation for any defects in the First Expansion Premises; and (iii) Tenant’s taking possession of the First Expansion Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the First

For the period of 30 consecutive days after the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense (which shall not constitute an Operating Expense), be responsible for any repairs that are required to be made to the Building Systems exclusively serving the First Expansion Premises, unless Tenant or any Tenant Party was responsible for the cause of such repair, in which case Tenant shall pay the cost.

Tenant agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly provided for herein, neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of all or any portion of the First Expansion Premises, and/or the suitability of the First Expansion Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the First Expansion Premises are suitable for the Permitted Use.

2.Tenant Improvements.

(a)Tenant Improvements Defined.  As used herein, “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all improvements to the First Expansion Premises (and if Tenant leases the ROFO Premises pursuant to Section 12 of the First Amendment, the ROFO Premises) desired by Tenant of a fixed and permanent nature.  Other than funding the TI Allowance (as defined below) as provided herein, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever with respect to the finishing of the First Expansion Premises (and if Tenant leases the ROFO Premises pursuant to Section 13 of the First Amendment, the ROFO Premises) for Tenant’s use and occupancy; provided, however, that pursuant to Section 2 of this First Amendment, Landlord shall construct, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, the common corridor contemplated on Exhibit A if Tenant does not elect to lease the ROFO Premises pursuant to Section 13 of the First Amendment.

(b)Selection of Materials, Etc.  Where more than one type of material or structure is indicated on the TI Construction Drawings approved by Tenant and Landlord, the option will be within Tenant’s reasonable discretion if the matter concerns the Tenant Improvements, and within Landlord’s sole and absolute subjective discretion if the matter concerns the structural components of the Building or any Building system.

(c)Tenant Liability.  Tenant shall be responsible for correcting any deficiencies or defects in the Tenant Improvements.

(d)Substantial Completion.  Tenant shall substantially complete or cause to be substantially completed the Tenant Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the TI Permit subject, in each case, to Minor Variations and normal “punch list” items of a non-material nature which do not interfere with the use of the First Expansion Premises (and if Tenant leases the ROFO Premises pursuant to Section 13 of the First Amendment, the ROFO Premises) (“Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Complete”).  Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall require the TI Architect and the general contractor to execute

(b)Implementation of Changes.  If Landlord approves such Change, Tenant may cause the approved Change to be instituted.  If any TI Permit modification or change is required as a result of such Change, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with a copy of such TI Permit modification or change.

5.Costs.

The Budget shall include a payment to Landlord of administrative rent (“Administrative Rent”) equal to 1% of the TI Costs (as hereinafter defined) for monitoring and inspecting the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which sum shall be payable from the TI Fund.  

(b)TI Allowance.  Landlord shall provide to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance (the “TI Allowance”) of $34.00 per rentable square foot of the First Expansion Premises (and if Tenant leases the ROFO Premises pursuant to Section 13 of the First Amendment, the ROFO Premises) which is included in the Base Rent set forth in Section 5(b) of the First Amendment. The TI Allowance shall be disbursed in accordance with this First Expansion Premises Work Letter.

Tenant shall have no right to the use or benefit (including any reduction to or payment of Base Rent) of any portion of the TI Allowance not required for the construction of (i) the Tenant Improvements described in the TI Construction Drawings approved pursuant to Section 2(d) or (ii) any Changes pursuant to Section 4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to use any unused portion of the TI Allowance for Alterations of a fixed and permanent nature reasonably acceptable to Landlord in any portion of the Premises (or any other premises leased by Tenant from Landlord at the Building).  Tenant shall have no right to any portion of the TI Allowance that is not disbursed before the December 31, 2021.  

B-3
