On January 28, 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Cook Biotech, Inc. (“Tenant”), pursuant to which the Company will lease to Tenant approximately 50,730 square feet of office, manufacturing and warehouse space located at the Company's headquarters (the “Building”), 2701 Kent Avenue, West Lafayette, Indiana, 47906. The initial term of the Lease Agreement runs for approximately nine years and 11 months, with Tenant options to extend the initial term for two additional five-year terms at market rent, as agreed to by the parties. The Company will deliver possession of the leased space in phases over a three-month period ending May 1, 2015. Once the leased space is fully occupied, base rent under the Lease Agreement will range from approximately $50 per month during the first year of the initial term to approximately $57 per month during the final year of the initial term.

 

The Lease Agreement contains customary events of default and termination provisions. In addition to these customary provisions, Tenant may terminate the lease with applicable notice: (i) if the Company is unable to deliver possession of the leased space in appropriate condition with separately metered utilities by May 31, 2015 and (ii) if an environmental safety assessment to be provided within the first 30 days of the lease term identifies hazardous materials adversely affecting Tenant's use of the leased space. Tenant may also terminate the lease if Tenant determines, based upon regulatory considerations for its products, that the leased space is not fit for its business use, in which case Tenant must give six months' notice of termination and pays an additional six months' rent upon termination.

 

The Company is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the exterior structure and common areas of the building and all building systems as well as landscaping, parking and driveway areas except for damage caused by the Tenant. The Company also agreed to repair and relayer some or all of the parking lot serving the building with the tenant reimbursing forty percent of the cost, not to exceed a maximum paid by the Tenant of $60.

 

During the term of the Lease Agreement and so long as Tenant is not in default, Tenant has the right to match any third-party offer to purchase the building. The Company is entering into the Lease Agreement to monetize underutilized space at its headquarters, and management does not believe the lease will materially impact the Company's business or service capabilities over the foreseeable future.
