(a)            Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense (subject to the following sentence), construct the tenant improvements in the Expansion Premises shown on Exhibit B to this First Amendment ("Landlord's Work").  If Landlord determines that Landlord's Work requires any alterations to the Building, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of such alterations to the Building as Additional Rent.  Landlord shall deliver the Expansion Premises to Tenant with Landlord's Work substantially completed, subject to normal "punch list" items of a non-material nature that do not interfere with the use of the Expansion Premises ("Delivery," "Deliver," or "Delivered").

(b)            The "Expansion Rent Commencement Date" shall be the earliest of:  (i) the date Landlord Delivers the Expansion Premises to Tenant; (ii) the date Landlord could have Delivered the Expansion Premises but for Tenant Delays (defined below) and (iii) the date Tenant conducts any business in the Expansion Premises or any part thereof.

(c)            Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the Expansion Rent Commencement Date when such is established in the form of the "Acknowledgement of Expansion Rent Commencement Date" attached to this First Amendment as Exhibit C; provided, however, Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord's rights hereunder.

Landlord and its contractors and agents shall have the right to enter the Original Premises to complete Landlord's Work and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in connection with the same.

(f)            Tenant agrees and acknowledges that 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 Expansion Premises or the Project, and/or the suitability of the Expansion Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant's business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Expansion Premises or the Project are suitable for the Permitted Use.  Landlord shall have no obligation to obtain any permits, approval or entitlements related to Tenant's use of or conduct of business in the Expansion Premises.

5.   Right to Expand.

(a)            Section 39(a) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to expand the Premises (the "Expansion Right") to include any Available Space in the Project upon the terms and conditions in this Section 39.  For purposes of this Section 39(a),  "Available Space" shall mean any space on the second floor of the Project which is not occupied by a tenant or which is occupied by an existing tenant whose lease is expiring within 6 months or less and such tenant does not wish to renew (whether or not such tenant has a right to renew) its occupancy of such space.  If there is any Available Space in the Project during the Term (including any extension of the Base Term pursuant to Section 40), Landlord shall, at such time as Landlord shall elect so long as Tenant's rights hereunder are preserved, deliver to Tenant written notice (the "Expansion Notice") of such Available Space, together with the terms and conditions on which Landlord is prepared to lease Tenant such Available Space.  Tenant shall have 10 business days following delivery of the Expansion Notice to deliver to Landlord written notification of Tenant's exercise of the Expansion Right.  Provided that no right to expand is exercised by any tenant with superior rights, Tenant shall be entitled to lease such Available Space upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Expansion Notice.

(b)            Section 39(e) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"(e)            Subordinate.  Tenant's rights in connection with the Expansion Right are and shall be subject and subordinate to any expansion or extension rights granted in the Project to other tenants leasing space in the Project as of the Effective Date of the First Amendment to this

3

 

Lease.  As of the Effective Date of the First Amendment to this Lease, no other tenant has such superior rights."

6.   Broker.  Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively, "Broker") in connection with the transaction reflected in this First Amendment and that no Broker brought about this transaction.

This First Amendment may be amended only by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto.

(b)            This First Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective agents, employees, representatives, officers, directors, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, heirs, successors in interest and shareholders.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (“this Second Amendment”) is dated as of August 15, 2012 (“Effective Date”), by and between ARE-708 QUINCE ORCHARD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 385 E. Colorado Blvd., Suite 299, Pasadena, California 91101 (“Landlord”), and OPGEN, INC., a Delaware corporation, having an address at Suite 220, 708 Quince Orchard Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878 (“Tenant”).

RECITALS

A.            Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Lease Agreement (“Original Lease”) dated as of June 30, 2008, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease dated as of April 4, 2011 (“First Amendment”; the Original Lease and the First Amendment are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Lease”), wherein Landlord leased to Tenant certain premises located at Suite 220, 708 Quince Orchard Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878, as more particularly described in the Lease.

 

B.            Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease, among other things, to clarify the provisions in the Lease dealing with Permitted Uses and the Hazardous Materials List.

 

AGREEMENT

Now, therefore, the parties hereto agree that the Lease is amended as follows:

1.            Permitted Uses.  The definition of “Permitted Uses” in the Basic Lease Provisions is hereby amended by deleting that provision in its entirety and replacing it with the following new definition:

 

(a)            research and development laboratory, laboratory production, related office and other related uses consistent with the character of the Project and otherwise in compliance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof.  For purposes of this Lease, “laboratory production” means the manufacture and packaging of materials to be used in laboratory based kits in accordance with this Lease (including, but not limited to, Section 30), and the manufacture and packaging of instruments to be sent to third parties.

 

2.            Hazardous Materials List.  Section 30(b) of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting that provision in its entirety and replacing it with the following new Section 30(b):

 

Business.  Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 30 to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use.  Tenant may operate its business according to prudent industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored according to all then applicable Environmental Requirements.  As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant shall from time to time, (i) within 10 days after request from Landlord, deliver to Landlord a list identifying each type of Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence, use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of such Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises (“Hazardous Materials List”), and (ii) concurrent with the receipt from or submission to a Governmental Authority or otherwise within 10 days after request from Landlord, deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (“Haz Mat Documents”) relating to the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans, notice of violations of any Legal Requirements; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed by or on behalf of Tenant or any Tenant Party in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks; and a Surrender Plan (to the extent surrender in accordance with Section 28 cannot be accomplished in 3 months).  Tenant is not required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the Haz Mat Documents containing information of a proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities.  It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with information which could be detrimental to Tenant’s business should such information become possessed by Tenant’s competitors.

3.            Miscellaneous.

This Second Amendment may be amended only by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto.

 

(c)            This Second Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective agents, employees, representatives, officers, directors, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, heirs, successors in interest and shareholders.

The signature page of any counterpart may be detached therefrom without impairing the legal effect of the signature(s) thereon provided such signature page is attached to any other counterpart identical thereto except having additional signature pages executed by other parties to this Second Amendment attached thereto.

 

(e)            Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively, “Broker”) in connection with this Second Amendment and that no Broker brought about this transaction.

(f)            Except as amended and/or modified by this Second Amendment, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, unaltered and unchanged by this Second Amendment.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Second Amendment and the provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this Second Amendment shall prevail.
