NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                                     The Company and Basis of Presentation

 

Insmed is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the unmet needs of patients with rare diseases. The Company’s lead product candidate is ARIKAYCE, or liposomal amikacin for inhalation (LAI), which is in late-stage development for patients with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung disease, a rare and often chronic infection that is capable of causing irreversible lung damage and which can be fatal. The Company’s earlier stage pipeline includes INS1009, a nebulized prodrug formulation of treprostinil.

 

The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on November 29, 1999 and its principal executive offices are located in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The Company has operations in the United States (US), Ireland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom (UK) and the Netherlands. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the US for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company is responsible for the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this report.

 

2.                                       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following are interim updates to certain of the policies described in “Note 2”  to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015:

 

Fair Value Measurements - The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis based upon the level of judgments associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, are as follows:

 

·                   Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

·                   Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the assets or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

 

·                   Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.  Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

 

Each major category of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments in Level 1 generally include US treasuries and mutual funds listed in active markets.

 

The Company’s only assets and liabilities which were measured at fair value as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were Level 1 and such assets were comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $223.1 million and $282.9 million, respectively.

 

6



Table of Contents

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents permit daily redemption and the fair values of these investments are based upon the quoted prices in active markets provided by the holding financial institutions. Cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase.

 

The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held no securities that were in an unrealized gain or loss position. The Company reviews the status of each security quarterly to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. In making its determination, the Company considers a number of factors, including: (1) the significance of the decline; (2) whether the securities were rated below investment grade; (3) how long the securities have been in an unrealized loss position; and (4) the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time for it to recover.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share - Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and other dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities from stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase common stock would be antidilutive as the Company incurred a net loss. Potentially dilutive common shares resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants are determined based on the treasury stock method.

 

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

New Accounting Pronouncements —In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheet. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2019, and is still evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2017, and is evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

5.                                     Debt

 

In June 2012, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, as co-borrowers, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (Hercules) that allowed the Company to borrow up to $20.0 million (Loan Agreement) at an interest rate of 9.25%. The interest rate for the term is floating and is defined as the greater of (i) 9.25% or (ii) 9.25% plus the sum of the US prime rate minus 4.50%. In December 2014, the Company and Hercules entered into a third amendment (the Third Amendment) to the Loan Agreement. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Company paid a commitment fee of $25,000, and at the closing, paid a facility fee of $125,000. Under the Third Amendment, the amount of borrowings was increased by $5.0 million to an aggregate total of $25.0 million and the interest-only period was extended through December 31, 2015. In December 2015, the Company entered into a fifth amendment (the Fifth Amendment) to the Loan Agreement, to exercise an option to extend the maturity date to January 1, 2018 with a payment to Hercules of $250,000. The Fifth Amendment extends the interest-only period, with principal repayments beginning in October 2016.

 

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company granted the lender a first position lien on all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property. Prepayment of the loans made pursuant to the Loan Agreement is subject to penalty and the Company was required to pay an “end of term” charge of $390,000, which was charged to interest expense (and accreted to the debt) using the effective interest method over the original life of the Loan Agreement. The end of term fee was paid in full as required in January 2016. Debt issuance fees paid to the lender were recorded as a discount on the debt and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Loan Agreement.

The estimated fair value of the debt (categorized as a Level 2 liability for fair value measurement purposes) is determined using current market factors and the ability of the Company to obtain debt at comparable terms to those that are currently in place.  The Company believes the estimated fair value at June 30, 2016 approximates the carrying amount.

 

6.                                       Shareholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock — As of June 30, 2016, the Company had 500,000,000 shares of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.01 and 61,877,905 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In addition, as of June 30, 2016, the Company had reserved 7,508,166 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding common stock options.

 

On April 6, 2015, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 11,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which included the underwriter’s exercise in full of its over-allotment option of 1,500,000 shares, at a price to the public of $20.65 per share. The Company’s net proceeds from the sale of the shares, after deducting the underwriter’s discount and offering expenses of $14.5 million, were $222.9 million.

 

Preferred Stock — As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.01 and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 

7.                                       Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s current equity compensation plan, the 2015 Incentive Plan, was approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 21, 2015. The 2015 Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company. Under the terms of the 2015 Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to grant a variety of incentive awards based on its common stock, including stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), performance options/shares and other stock awards, as well as the payment of incentive bonuses to all employees and non-employee directors. On May 21, 2015, 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized and as of June 30, 2016, there were 1,928,929 shares available for future grants (or issuances) of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and incentive bonuses under the 2015 Incentive Plan. The 2015 Incentive Plan will terminate on April 9, 2025 unless it is extended or terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. In addition, from time to time, the Company makes inducement grants of stock options. These awards are made pursuant to the NASDAQ inducement grant exception as a component of new hires’ employment compensation in connection with the Company’s equity grant program.

 

Stock Options - The Company calculates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following table summarizes the Company’s grant date fair value and assumptions used in determining the fair value of all stock options granted:

For all periods presented, the volatility factor was based on the Company’s historical volatility since the closing of the Company’s merger with Transave in December 2010. The expected life was determined using the simplified method as described in ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock Compensation”, which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury yield in effect at the date of grant. Forfeitures are based on the actual percentage of option forfeitures since the closing of the Company’s merger with Transave in December 2010, and this is the basis for future forfeiture expectations.

 

From time to time, the Company grants performance-condition options to certain of the Company’s employees. Vesting of these options is subject to the Company achieving certain performance criteria established at the date of grant and the individuals fulfilling a service condition (continued employment). As of June 30, 2016, the Company had performance options totaling 158,334 shares outstanding which have not met the recognition criteria to date. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, $1.5 million of non-cash compensation expense was recorded related to certain performance based options as the recognition criteria was met upon the marketing authorization application for ARIKAYCE being accepted for filing by the European Medicines Agency in February 2015.

8.                                       Income Taxes

 

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $18,000 and $46,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The current year provision was a result of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries in Europe, which had taxable income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. In jurisdictions where the Company has net losses, there was a full valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets and therefore no tax benefit was recorded. The Company is subject to US federal, US state and foreign income taxes. The statute of limitations for tax audit is open for the US federal tax returns for the years ended 2012 and later and is generally open for certain states for the years 2011 and later. The Company’s US federal tax return for the year ended December 31, 2013 is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception, with the exception of 2009. Such loss carryforwards are subject to audit in any tax year in which those losses are utilized, notwithstanding the year of origin. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has recorded no reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits, nor has it recorded any accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate any material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the unmet needs of patients with rare diseases. Our lead product candidate is ARIKAYCE, or liposomal amikacin for inhalation (LAI), which is in late-stage development for patients with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung disease, a rare and often chronic infection that is capable of causing irreversible lung damage and can be fatal. Our earlier stage pipeline includes INS1009, a nebulized prodrug formulation of the prostanoid, treprostinil. We believe INS1009 may offer a differentiated product profile with therapeutic potential in rare pulmonary disorders such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary sarcoidosis, and severe refractory asthma.

 

We are conducting a global phase 3 clinical study of ARIKAYCE (the 212 or CONVERT study) in adult patients with treatment refractory NTM lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), which is the predominant infective species in NTM lung disease in the United States (US), Europe, and Japan. We have completed a phase 1 study of INS1009 in healthy subjects and the results

have been accepted for presentation at the European Respiratory Society international congress in September 2016. This first-in-human study of INS1009 was designed to determine the maximum-tolerated dose of a single dose of INS1009 and to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of free treprostinil and INS1009 in healthy volunteers. In addition to INS1009, our earlier-stage pipeline includes preclinical compounds that we are exploring in multiple rare diseases of unmet medical need, including methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA), NTM, PAH, and sarcoidosis. We are also evaluating additional formulations and delivery options for treprostinil. To complement our internal research and development, we actively seek in-licensing and acquisition opportunities for a broad range of rare diseases.

 

The following table summarizes the current status of and anticipated milestones for ARIKAYCE and INS1009 development:

Next Expected Milestones

ARIKAYCE for adult patients with treatment refractory NTM lung infections caused by MAC

 

·         We are advancing the CONVERT study, a randomized, open-label global phase 3 clinical study of ARIKAYCE in adult patients with treatment refractory NTM lung disease caused by MAC.

·         In 2015, our Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for ARIKAYCE for NTM was validated. The filing was based on data from our phase 2 study. In May 2016, we participated in an oral explanation meeting with the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). After the oral explanation meeting, the CHMP concluded that the data submitted did not provide enough evidence to support an approval. In June 2016, we withdrew our MAA and we intend to resubmit our MAA when clinical data from our ongoing global CONVERT study are available.

·         The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated ARIKAYCE as an orphan drug, a breakthrough therapy, and a qualified infectious disease product (QIDP). Breakthrough therapy features intensive guidance on efficient drug development and offers the potential for a rolling review. A QIDP-designated product qualifies for the same benefits as fast track designation and is typically eligible for priority review.

·         The European Commission granted an orphan designation for ARIKAYCE for the treatment of NTM lung disease.

 

·         We expect to achieve our enrollment objective in the CONVERT study in 2016.

·         If approved, we expect ARIKAYCE would be the first inhaled antibiotic specifically indicated for the treatment of NTM lung infections in North America, Europe, and Japan.

·         If approved, we plan to commercialize ARIKAYCE in the US, certain countries in Europe, Canada, Japan and certain other countries.

 

 

 

 

 

INS1009 (nebulized treprostinil prodrug)  for rare pulmonary disorders

 

·         We completed a phase 1 study of INS1009. The phase 1 study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose study of INS1009 for inhalation to determine its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers.

 

·         The results of our phase 1 study of INS1009 have been accepted for presentation at the European Respiratory Society international congress in September 2016.

 

Product Pipeline

 

ARIKAYCE for patients with NTM lung disease

 

Our lead product candidate is ARIKAYCE, or LAI, a novel, once-daily formulation of amikacin that is in late-stage clinical development for patients with NTM lung disease, a rare and often chronic infection that is capable of causing irreversible lung damage

and which can be fatal. Amikacin solution for parenteral administration is an established drug that has activity against a variety of NTM; however, its use is limited by the need to administer it intravenously and by toxicity to hearing, balance, and kidney function (Peloquin et al., 2004). Our advanced liposome technology uses charge-neutral liposomes to deliver amikacin directly to the lung where it is taken up by the lung macrophages where the NTM infection resides. This prolongs the release of amikacin in the lungs while minimizing systemic exposure thereby offering the potential for decreased systemic toxicities. ARIKAYCE’s ability to deliver high levels of amikacin directly to the lung distinguishes it from intravenous amikacin. ARIKAYCE is administered once-daily using an optimized, investigational eFlow® Nebulizer System manufactured by PARI Pharma GmbH, a novel, highly efficient and portable aerosol delivery system.

 

The CONVERT study

 

ARIKAYCE is currently being evaluated in a global phase 3 randomized, open-label clinical study designed to confirm the culture conversion results seen in our phase 2 clinical trial. This phase 3 study, which is known as the CONVERT (or 212) study, is enrolling non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) patients 18 years and older with an NTM lung infection caused by MAC that is refractory to a stable multi-drug regimen for at least six months with the regimen either ongoing or completed within 12 months of screening. In our completed phase 2 study, the subgroup of non-CF patients with NTM lung infection caused by MAC demonstrated the greatest response to treatment with ARIKAYCE. The CONVERT study also excludes subjects whose susceptibility scores indicate that their MAC NTM infection is resistant to amikacin. We believe the CONVERT study will confirm the culture conversion results seen in the phase 2 study and provide the basis for submitting a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA, as well as regulatory submissions in Europe, Japan and other countries.

 

After a screening period of approximately 10 weeks, eligible subjects are randomized 2:1 to once-daily ARIKAYCE plus a multi-drug regimen or a multi-drug regimen without ARIKAYCE.  The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects who achieve culture conversion by Month 6 in the ARIKAYCE plus multi-drug regimen arm compared to the arm in which subjects receive a multi-drug regimen without ARIKAYCE. A converter is defined as a subject with three consecutive negative sputum cultures collected monthly without relapse or recurrence; all others will be considered non-converters. The study’s key secondary endpoints include the change from baseline in the six-minute walk test and off-treatment assessments to evaluate durability of effect. The study also includes a comprehensive pharmacokinetic sub-study in Japanese subjects in lieu of a separate local pharmacokinetic study in Japan.

 

At Month 8, after all sputum culture results are known up to and including Month 6, subjects will be assessed as converters or non-converters for the primary efficacy endpoint. All converters will continue on their randomized treatment regimen for 12 months beginning from the first negative culture that defined culture conversion. All converters will return for off-treatment follow-up visits. A 12-month off-treatment study visit will be the last visit for the CONVERT study. All non-converters in the study at Month 8 may be eligible to enter a separate 12-month open-label study (the 312 study). The primary objective of the 312 study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ARIKAYCE. The secondary endpoints of the 312 study include evaluating the proportion of subjects achieving culture conversion (three consecutive negative sputum cultures without relapse or recurrence) by Month 6 and the proportion of subjects achieving culture conversion by Month 12 (end of treatment).

 

The protocol for the CONVERT study incorporates feedback from the FDA and the EMA via its scientific advice working party process, as well as local health authorities in other countries, including Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency. If the CONVERT study meets the primary endpoint of culture conversion at Month 6, we believe we would be eligible to submit an NDA pursuant to 21 CFR 314 Subpart H (Accelerated Approval of New Drugs for Serious or Life-Threatening Illnesses), which permits FDA to approve a drug based on a surrogate endpoint provided the sponsor commits to study the drug further to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. We believe that efficacy data from the CONVERT study after Month 6 will suffice to meet this commitment. We are currently conducting CONVERT at more than 145 sites in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The CONVERT study is designed to enroll enough subjects to ensure at least 261 patients are evaluable for the primary endpoint.

 

Phase 2 study (112 study)

 

Our completed phase 2 study, which is also known as the 112 study, was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of ARIKAYCE in adults with NTM lung disease due to MAC or Mycobacterium abscessus ( M. abscessus ) that was refractory to guideline-based therapy. Eligibility for the 112 study required patients to have been on the American Thoracic Society/Infectious Disease Society of America (ATS/IDSA) guideline therapy for at least six months prior to screening and to have had persistently positive mycobacterial cultures. The study included an 84-day double-blind phase in which patients were randomized 1:1 either to ARIKAYCE once-daily plus a multi-drug regimen or to placebo once-daily plus a multi-drug regimen. After completing the 84-day double-blind phase, patients had the option of continuing in an 84-day open-label phase during

which all patients received ARIKAYCE plus a multi-drug regimen. The study also included 28-day and 12-month off-ARIKAYCE follow-up assessments to evaluate durability of effect.

 

Eighty-nine patients were randomized and dosed in the study. Of the 80 patients who completed dosing in the 84-day study, 78 patients elected to continue in the open-label phase and received ARIKAYCE plus a multi-drug regimen for an additional 84 days. Seventy-six percent (76% or 59/78) of patients who elected to continue in the open-label phase of the study completed the open-label phase.

 

The primary efficacy endpoint of the study was the change from baseline (day 1) to the end of the double-blind phase of the trial (day 84) in a semi-quantitative measurement of the mycobacterial density on a seven-point scale. ARIKAYCE did not meet the pre-specified level for statistical significance although there was a positive trend (p=0.072) in favor of ARIKAYCE. The p-value for the key secondary endpoint of culture conversion to negative at Day 84 (defined as a negative culture on Day 84) was 0.003, in favor of ARIKAYCE.

 

After establishing the primary endpoint for the CONVERT study, we explored the microbiologic outcomes from the 112 study using the more stringent definition of culture conversion, which is defined as at least three consecutive monthly sputum samples that test negative for NTM bacteria. This definition of culture conversion is in the ATS/IDSA Guidelines (Griffith et al., 2007) and used in clinical practice. The results of these analyses are summarized below:

 

·                   Twenty patients who received ARIKAYCE in the 112 study achieved culture conversion status over the 168-day treatment phase (13 received ARIKAYCE in the double-blind phase and seven received ARIKAYCE in the open-label phase).

·                   Three additional patients who started ARIKAYCE in the open-label phase achieved culture conversion by the 28-day off-ARIKAYCE follow-up assessment.

·                   Of the 23 patients who achieved culture conversion by the 28-day end-of-study follow-up visit, four converted at baseline (day 1) prior to the administration of study drug.

 

The 112 study included a 12-month off-ARIKAYCE follow-up visit in order to collect sputum culture results. These results were collected and analyzed to assess the durability of the ARIKAYCE treatment effect for both the group of subjects who achieved culture conversion and the group of subjects who did not achieve culture conversion during the 168-day treatment phase. The results of these analyses are summarized below:

 

·                   Seventeen of the total 23 subjects who achieved culture conversion during the study attended their 12-month off-ARIKAYCE follow-up visit. The NTM sputum culture results at the 12-month visit for the 17 subjects are as follows:

 

·                   Eleven subjects remained culture negative; nine of these subjects were non-CF subjects with MAC (eight of these nine subjects were off all NTM treatments at this time), one subject was non-CF M. abscessus, and one subject was CF M. abscessus at the time of study entry (both subjects with M. abscessus were on NTM treatments at this time).

·                   Three non-CF subjects with MAC could not produce sputum despite reasonable attempts. These same subjects were off all NTM treatments at this time. This is consistent with the achievement of treatment success during the follow-up period as the lack of sputum production is indicative of symptom resolution.

·                   Two non-CF subjects with MAC were broth culture positive only, which may represent contamination (a false positive) or a new infection rather than a relapse.

·                   One non-CF subject with M. abscessus was also broth culture positive only.

 

·                   Twenty-eight subjects provided sputum at the 12-month follow-up visit and 12 subjects did not provide sputum. Of those who provided sputum, 22 continued to have positive sputum cultures and six had a negative culture.

 

·                   Seven patients died during the 12-month follow-up phase. Six of the seven patients did not achieve culture conversion and one patient did achieve culture conversion during the study treatment phases.

 

During the double-blind phase, the majority of the subjects in both treatment groups experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE). All of the most common TEAEs, except diarrhea, occurred more frequently in the ARIKAYCE group than in the placebo group. Renal TEAEs were reported infrequently. Audiovestibular TEAEs were reported in similar proportions of subjects in the two treatment groups in the double-blind phase and were reported infrequently in the open-label phase. TEAEs considered related by the investigator were reported more frequently in the ARIKAYCE group than in the placebo group in the double-blind phase (ARIKAYCE: 72.7%, placebo: 37.8%). The overall incidences of adverse events leading to study drug discontinuation and serious adverse events were higher in the ARIKAYCE group than in the placebo group.

During the treatment phases of the study, there were two deaths; one subject died during the double-blind phase of pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome and one subject died during the open-label phase of multi-organ failure, intestinal ischemia, and urosepsis. None of the events in either subject were considered to be related to the study drug by the investigator. All of these events were assessed by the Data Monitoring Committee, with no change in their assessment of the risk benefit of ARIKAYCE. Two additional patients who withdrew from the study (one during the open-label phase and one prior to the 12-month follow-up) later died due to unknown causes. In the double-blind phase, serious adverse events were reported for a greater proportion of subjects in the ARIKAYCE group than in the placebo group (18.2% versus 8.9%, respectively). In the double-blind phase, a greater proportion of subjects in the ARIKAYCE treatment group than in the placebo group reported adverse events leading to study drug discontinuation (ARIKAYCE: 15.9%; placebo: 0%). The most commonly reported TEAEs leading to study drug discontinuation in the ARIKAYCE group were infective exacerbation of underlying bronchiectasis (6.8%) and dyspnea (4.5%). The incidence of adverse events leading to discontinuation did not increase in the ARIKAYCE group with longer exposure to the study drug in the open-label phase compared with the double-blind phase (17.1% and 18.2%, respectively). In the open-label phase, 27.9% of subjects who had received placebo during the double-blind phase of the trial reported adverse events leading to study drug discontinuation.

 

No clinically significant changes in laboratory values, vital signs, body mass index, and pulmonary function tests were observed over the course of the study. The results discussed above are based on currently available data.

 

MAA for NTM in the EU

 

In 2015, our MAA for ARIKAYCE for NTM was validated. The filing was based on data from our phase 2 study. In May 2016, we participated in an oral explanation meeting with the CHMP. After the oral explanation meeting, the CHMP concluded that the data submitted did not provide enough evidence to support an approval. In June 2016, we withdrew our MAA and we intend to resubmit our MAA when clinical data from our ongoing global CONVERT study are available.

 

NTM Market Opportunity

 

NTM is a rare and serious disorder associated with increased morbidity and mortality. There is an increasing rate of lung disease caused by NTM and this is an emerging public health concern worldwide. Patients with NTM lung disease may experience a multitude of symptoms such as fever, weight loss, cough, lack of appetite, night sweats, blood in the sputum, and fatigue. Patients with NTM lung disease frequently require lengthy hospital stays to manage their condition. There are no inhaled antibiotic treatments specifically indicated for the treatment of NTM lung disease in North America, Europe or Japan. Current guideline-based approaches involve multi-drug regimens that may cause severe side effects and treatment can be as long as two years or more.

 

The prevalence of human disease attributable to NTM has increased over the past two decades. In a decade-long study (1997-2007), researchers found that the prevalence of NTM in the US is increasing at approximately 8% per year and that NTM patients on Medicare over the age of 65 are 40% more likely to die over the period of the study than those who did not have the disease (Adjemian et al., 2012). A 2015 publication from co-authors from several US government departments stated that prior year statistics led to a projected 181,037 national annual cases in 2014 costing the US healthcare system approximately $1.7 billion (Strollo et al., 2015).

 

Our market research indicates that there are approximately 100,000 patients in the US, the EU5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom), and Japan who have a confirmed diagnosis of NTM lung disease, of which an estimated 10 to 30 percent are refractory to current treatments. In 2012, in collaboration with the NIH, we funded a study performed by Clarity Pharma Research that showed there were an estimated 50,000 cases of pulmonary disease attributable to NTM in the US in 2011 and that such cases were estimated to be growing at a rate of 10% per year. In 2013, we engaged Clarity Pharma Research to perform a similar chart audit study of NTM in Europe and Japan. Based on results of this study, researchers estimated that there are approximately 20,000 cases of pulmonary disease attributable to NTM within the EU5 and approximately 30,000 in the 28 countries comprising the EU. In addition, there are nearly 32,000 cases in Japan. Although population-based data on the epidemiology of NTM lung disease are limited, studies worldwide have described an increasing prevalence.

 

NTM currently includes over 165 species. MAC is the predominant pathogenic species in NTM pulmonary disease in the US, Japan and Europe, followed by M. abscessus . Thus far, we have studied ARIKAYCE in both MAC and M. abscessus .

 

We are studying the economic and societal implications of NTM lung infections. We have conducted a burden of illness study in the US with a major medical benefits provider. This study showed that patients with NTM lung infections are costly to healthcare plans and ATS/IDSA guideline-based treatment results in healthcare savings as opposed to suboptimal treatment.

 

In partnership with one of the nation’s largest Medicare insurance providers, we presented the results of three claims-based studies.

Table of Contents

 

·                   At the Interscience Conference of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in September 2015, researchers reported a 36.1% increase in the incidence of NTM lung infections between 2008 and 2013 in US Medicare population of a national managed care health plan, with the greatest incidence increase (56.3%) observed in members 65 to 74 years of age. Following diagnosis with NTM lung infections, over 50% of members were still in the plan after six years (Abraham et al., 2015).

·                   At the Infectious Disease Week in October 2015, researchers reported that patients with NTM lung infections were using greater healthcare resources than their age and gender-matched controls in the period preceding their initial diagnosis. Ordering mycobacterial testing of sputum earlier may help in preventing a misdiagnosis or delaying a diagnosis (Holt et al., 2015).

·                   At the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy conference in October 2015, researchers reported higher resource utilization and costs for patients with NTM lung infections than their age and gender-matched controls both pre- and post-diagnosis. Patients who received treatment regimens conforming to the 2007 ATS/IDSA guidelines showed lower healthcare resource utilization and total medical costs than patients who received suboptimal treatment. These data suggest that healthcare plans should consider mechanisms to identify and appropriately treat patients with NTM lung disease (Abraham et al., 2015).

 

We plan to repeat this type of research globally in support of our overall disease awareness and education efforts.

 

The FDA has designated ARIKAYCE as an orphan drug, a breakthrough therapy, and a QIDP for NTM lung disease. Orphan designation features seven years of post-approval market exclusivity, and QIDP features an additional five years of post-approval exclusivity. A QIDP-designated product is eligible for fast track and priority review designations. A priority review designation for a drug means the FDA’s goal is to take action on the NDA within six months as compared to 10 months under a standard review.

 

INS1009

 

INS1009 is an investigational sustained-release nebulized treprostinil prodrug that has the potential to address certain of the current limitations of existing inhaled prostanoid therapies. We believe that INS1009 prolongs duration of effect and may provide PAH patients with greater consistency in pulmonary arterial pressure reduction over time. Current inhaled prostanoid therapies must be dosed four to nine times per day for the treatment of PAH. Reducing dose frequency has the potential to ease patient burden and improve compliance. Additionally, we believe that INS1009 may be associated with fewer side effects, including elevated heart rate, low blood pressure, and severity and/or frequency of cough, associated with high initial drug levels and local upper airway exposure when using current inhaled prostanoid therapies. We believe INS1009 may have therapeutic potential in PAH, IPF, pulmonary sarcoidosis, and severe refractory asthma.

 

In late 2014, we had a pre-investigational new drug (pre-IND) meeting with the FDA for INS1009 and clarified that, subject to final review of the preclinical data, INS1009 could be eligible for an approval pathway under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) (505(b)(2) approval). Like a traditional NDA that is submitted under Section 505(b)(1) of the FDCA, a 505(b)(2) NDA must establish that the drug is safe and effective, but unlike a traditional NDA the applicant may rely at least in part on studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant does not have a right of reference. The ability to rely on existing third-party data to support safety and/or effectiveness can reduce the time and cost associated with traditional NDAs.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, we submitted an IND application and earlier this year completed a phase 1 study of INS1009. The phase 1 study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose study of INS1009 for inhalation to determine its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers. The results of our phase 1 study of INS1009 have been accepted for presentation at the European Respiratory Society international congress in September 2016.

 

PAH

 

PAH is a serious, progressive rare disease. There is no cure for PAH. Research has estimated PAH prevalence in Europe at 15 to 52 per million (Peacock et al., 2007). Claims-based research has estimated a higher PAH prevalence in the US at 109 per million for the privately insured (under age 65) population and 451 per million for the Medicare population (Kirson et al., 2011). PAH ultimately leads to heart failure and the disease has a 15% one-year mortality rate (Kirson et al., 2011; Kane et al., 2011; and Thenappan et al., 2007). Several medications are used to treat PAH. Non-specific treatments such as anticoagulants, diuretics, and oxygen may be used. These drugs are not specifically approved for the treatment of PAH, but are commonly utilized. In specific circumstances, drugs such as digoxin or calcium channel blockers may also be used to treat PAH. Several drugs are approved specifically for the treatment of PAH. These drugs address three target pathophysiologic pathways: the endothelin pathway; the nitric oxide pathway; and the prostacyclin pathway. They may be used alone or in combination.

IPF

 

IPF is a rare, chronic, progressive, interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology that affects around five million patients worldwide. Patients with IPF are generally middle-aged or older at the time of diagnosis. Disease progression is variable but progressive fibrosis (scarring) leads ultimately to death, with a median survival of three to five years after diagnosis. Symptoms often include shortness of breath, dry cough, unintended weight loss, fatigue, and clubbing of the fingers and toes. Over time, IPF can lead to a debilitating loss of physical ability. The prevalence of IPF in the US ranges from between 90,000 and 190,000 patients, a range similar to that reported in Europe (Lee et al., 2014).

 

Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

 

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous inflammatory disease that is induced by unknown antigen(s) in a genetically susceptible host (Mortaz et al., 2014). This rare, chronic systemic disease most commonly affects the lung. Several features of sarcoidosis tend to obscure the diagnosis, leading to an under-appreciation of the potential impact of the disease on the health care system and society as a whole. Sarcoidosis frequently presents with non-specific complaints, ranging from fatigue and depression, “asthma symptoms” (wheezing, cough), to arthritis and muscle pain or weakness. As such, sarcoidosis can mimic other diseases, leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatments (Erdal et al., 2012).

 

Severe refractory asthma

 

Severe refractory asthma is characterized by a difficulty to achieve disease control despite high-intensity treatment. Prevalence figures of severe refractory asthma are lacking, whereas longstanding estimates vary between five and 10% of all asthmatic patients. To make a reliable estimate of the prevalence of severe refractory asthma as defined by the Innovative Medicine Initiative consensus, Hekking et al. analyzed prescription data from 65 Dutch pharmacy databases, representing 500,500 adult inhabitants. Of asthmatic adults, 3.6% qualified for a diagnosis of severe refractory asthma; therefore, the prevalence of severe refractory asthma might be lower than estimated by expert opinion, which implies that currently recognized severe asthma phenotypes could meet the criteria of rare disease (Hekking et al., October 2014).

 

Our Strategy

 

Our strategy focuses on the needs of patients with rare diseases. We are currently focused on the development and commercialization of ARIKAYCE. There are currently no inhaled products specifically indicated to treat NTM lung disease in North America, Europe or Japan. While we believe that ARIKAYCE has the potential to treat many different diseases, we are prioritizing securing US regulatory approval of ARIKAYCE in NTM lung disease caused by MAC. We are also advancing earlier-stage programs in other rare disorders.

 

Our current priorities are as follows:

 

·                   Enrolling the global CONVERT study;

·                   Preparing our US NDA submission, which will be based on the primary endpoint of the CONVERT study;

·                   Ensuring our product supply chain will support the clinical development and, if approved, commercialization of ARIKAYCE;

·                   Preparing for potential commercialization of ARIKAYCE in the US and certain European countries;

·                   Defining further research and lifecycle management strategies for ARIKAYCE, including investigator-initiated studies;

·                   Presenting the results of the phase 1 study of INS1009, our nebulized treprostinil prodrug, and investigating its use in multiple indications;

·                   Generating preclinical findings from our earlier-stage program(s); and

·                   Expanding our rare disease pipeline through corporate development.

 

Corporate Development

 

We plan to develop, acquire, in license or co-promote other products that address rare diseases. We are focused broadly on rare disease therapeutics and prioritizing those areas that best align with our core competencies and current therapeutic focus in the area of rare pulmonary diseases.

Manufacturing

 

ARIKAYCE is manufactured by Ajinimoto Althea, Inc. (Althea) in the US at a 50 liter scale. In September 2015, we entered into a commercial fill/finish services agreement with Althea to produce ARIKAYCE. Althea has the right to terminate this agreement upon written notice for our uncured material breach, if we are the subject of specified bankruptcy or liquidation events, or without cause with 24 months’ prior written notice. In February 2014, we entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Therapure Biopharma Inc. (Therapure) for the manufacture of ARIKAYCE at a 200 liter scale which we believe will be necessary to support commercialization. We have also identified certain second source suppliers for our supply chain, and plan to implement supply and quality agreements in preparation for commercialization of ARIKAYCE. In July 2014, we entered into a commercialization agreement with PARI Pharma GmbH (PARI), the manufacturer of our drug delivery nebulizer, to address our commercial supply needs. We currently produce INS1009, our investigational nebulized treprostinil prodrug, and plan to utilize third parties to manufacture INS1009 at a larger scale and the drug delivery device.

 

KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

 

Revenues

 

In 2015, the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety granted LAI several nominative Temporary Authorization for Use (Autorisation Temporaire d’Utilisation or ATU). Pursuant to this program, we shipped ARIKAYCE to pharmacies after receiving requests from physicians for patients in France. In 2016, the revenue recorded from the ATU program was immaterial to disclose and is included as a component of “other income, net.” Other than the ATU revenue in France, we currently do not recognize any revenue from product sales or other sources.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock based compensation, for personnel serving in our research and development functions. Expenses also include other internal operating expenses, the cost of manufacturing our drug candidate for clinical study, the cost of conducting clinical studies, and the cost of conducting preclinical and research activities. Our expenses related to manufacturing our drug candidate for clinical study are primarily related to activities at contract manufacturing organizations that manufacture ARIKAYCE for our use. Our expenses related to clinical trials are primarily related to activities at contract research organizations that conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. These contracts set forth the scope of work to be completed at a fixed fee or amount per patient enrolled. Payments under these contracts primarily depend on performance criteria such as the successful enrollment of patients or the completion of clinical trial milestones as well as time-based fees. Expenses are accrued based on contracted amounts applied to the level of patient enrollment and to activity according to the clinical trial protocol. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are then recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed, or when the goods or services are no longer expected to be provided.

 

Since 2011, we have focused our development activities principally on our proprietary, advanced liposomal technology designed specifically for inhalation lung delivery. In 2015, we commenced the CONVERT study for ARIKAYCE for patients with NTM lung disease. In 2015, we also completed an open-label extension study in which CF patients that completed our phase 3 trial received ARIKAYCE for a period of two years. The majority of our research and development expenses have been for our ARIKAYCE development programs. Our development efforts in 2015 and 2016 principally relate to the development of ARIKAYCE in the NTM indication and, to a lesser extent, for INS1009.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel serving in our executive, finance and accounting, legal, pre-commercial, corporate development, information technology, program management and human resource functions. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, including patent-related expenses, consulting, insurance, board of director fees, tax and accounting services. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in order to support increased levels of development activities and preparation for commercialization activities for our product candidates.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debt. Our balance sheet reflects debt net of debt issuance costs paid to the lender and reflects debt issuance costs paid to other third parties as other assets.

Investment Income and Interest Expense

 

Investment income consists of interest and dividend income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our debt.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $36.6 million, or ($0.59) per common share—basic and diluted, compared with a net loss of $28.6 million, or ($0.47) per common share—basic and diluted, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The $8.0 million increase in our net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to:

 

·                   Increased research and development expenses of $5.6 million resulting from an increase in clinical trial expenses primarily related to the CONVERT study and higher compensation and related expenses due to an increase in headcount compared to the prior year period; and

 

·                   Increased general and administrative expenses of $2.6 million primarily resulting from an increase in pre-commercial activities and higher compensation and related expenses due to an increase in headcount as compared to the prior year period.

Research and development expenses increased to $23.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 from $18.2 million in the same period in 2015. The $5.6 million increase was due to a $2.4 million increase in external clinical development expenses primarily related to the CONVERT study and a $2.3 million increase in compensation and related expenses due to an increase in headcount, including stock-based compensation. We expect research and development expenses to increase in 2016 as compared to 2015 due primarily to the clinical trial activity related to the CONVERT study.

General and administrative expenses increased to $12.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 from $9.7 million in the same period in 2015. The $2.6 million increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in expenses related to pre-commercial activities and an increase of $1.2 million due to higher compensation related to an increase in headcount, including stock-based compensation.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $0.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $0.7 million in the same period in 2015. The $0.1 million decrease in interest expense in 2016 relates to a decrease in the amortization of our debt issuance costs in 2016.

 

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $70.1 million, or ($1.13) per common share—basic and diluted, compared with a net loss of $56.0 million, or ($1.01) per common share—basic and diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The $14.1 million increase in our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to:

 

·                   Increased research and development expenses of $9.0 million resulting from an increase in clinical trial expenses primarily related to the CONVERT study and higher compensation and related expenses due to an increase in headcount compared to the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing expenses primarily due to the completion of the build-out of our production area at Therapure’s facility in 2015; and

 

·                   Increased general and administrative expenses of $5.5 million primarily resulting from an increase in pre-commercial activities and higher compensation and related expenses due to an increase in headcount as compared to the prior year period.

Research and development expenses increased to $44.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $35.4 million in the same period in 2015. The $9.0 million increase was due to a $4.8 million increase in external clinical development expenses primarily related to the CONVERT study and a $4.0 million increase in compensation and related expenses due to an increase in headcount. These increases were partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in manufacturing expenses primarily due to the completion of the build-out of our production area at Therapure’s facility in 2015. We expect research and development expenses to increase in 2016 as compared to 2015 due primarily to the clinical trial activity related to the CONVERT study.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

General and administrative expenses increased to $24.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $19.2 million in the same period in 2015. The $5.5 million increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.2 million in expenses relating to pre-commercial activities and an increase of $1.7 million due to higher compensation related to an increase in headcount.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $1.4 million in the same period in 2015. The $0.2 million decrease in interest expense relates to a decrease in the amortization of our debt issuance costs in 2016.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Overview

 

There is considerable time and cost associated with developing a potential drug or pharmaceutical product to the point of regulatory approval and commercialization. In recent years, we have funded our operations through public and private placements of equity securities and through debt financing. We expect to continue to incur losses both in our US and certain international entities, as we plan to fund research and development activities and commercial launch activities.

 

We believe we currently have sufficient funds to meet our financial needs for at least the next twelve months. We may opportunistically raise additional capital and may do so through equity or debt financing(s), strategic transactions or otherwise. Such additional funding may be necessary to continue to develop our potential product candidates, to pursue the license or purchase of other technologies, to commercialize our product candidates or to purchase other products. We cannot assure you that adequate capital will be available on favorable terms, or at all, when needed. If we are unable to obtain sufficient additional funds when required, we may be forced to delay, restrict or eliminate all or a portion of our research or development programs, dispose of assets or technology or cease operations. During the remainder of 2016, we plan to continue to fund further clinical development of ARIKAYCE and INS1009, support efforts to obtain regulatory approvals, and prepare for commercialization. Our cash requirements in 2016 will be impacted by a number of factors, the most significant of which, being the enrollment rates and other expenses related to the CONVERT study.

 

Cash Flows

 

As of June 30, 2016, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $223.1 million, as compared with $282.9 million as of December 31, 2015. The $59.8 million decrease was due primarily to the use of cash in operating activities. Our working capital was $197.0 million as of June 30, 2016 as compared with $265.9 million as of December 31, 2015.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $57.8 million and $49.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities during 2016 and 2015 was primarily for the clinical, manufacturing and pre-commercial activities related to ARIKAYCE, as well as general and administrative expenses.

Table of Contents

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.1 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The net cash used in investing activities during 2016 was primarily related to payments for the build out of our headquarters and lab facility in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million and $227.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2016 was cash proceeds received from stock option exercises and in 2015 included net proceeds of $222.9 million received from the issuance of 11.5 million common shares in April 2015 and cash proceeds of $4.2 million received from stock option exercises.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

In June 2012, we and our domestic subsidiaries, as co-borrowers, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Hercules that allowed us to borrow up to $20.0 million (Loan Agreement) at an interest rate of 9.25%. The interest rate for the term is floating and is defined as the greater of (i) 9.25% or (ii) 9.25% plus the sum of the US prime rate minus 4.50%. In December 2014, we entered into a third amendment (the Third Amendment) to the Loan Agreement with Hercules. In connection with the Third Amendment, we paid a commitment fee of $25,000, and at the closing, paid a facility fee of $125,000. Under the Third Amendment, the amount of borrowings was increased by an additional $5.0 million to an aggregate total of $25.0 million and the interest-only period was extended through December 31, 2015. In December 2015, we entered into a fifth amendment (the Fifth Amendment) to the Loan Agreement to exercise an option to extend the maturity date of the loan to January 1, 2018 with a payment to Hercules of $250,000. The Fifth Amendment extends the interest-only period, with principal repayments beginning in October 2016.

 

We have an operating lease for office and laboratory space located in Bridgewater, NJ, our corporate headquarters, for which the initial lease term expires in November 2019. Future minimum rental payments under this lease total approximately $3.5 million.

 

As of June 30, 2016, future payments under our long-term debt agreements, capital leases, minimum future payments under non-cancellable operating leases and minimum future payment obligations are as follows:

This table does not include: (a) any milestone payments which may become payable to third parties under our license and collaboration agreements as the timing and likelihood of such payments are not known; (b) any royalty payments to third parties as the amounts of such payments, timing and/or the likelihood of such payments are not known; (c) contracts that are entered into in the ordinary course of business which are not material in the aggregate in any period presented above; or (d) any payments related to the agreements mentioned below.

 

We currently have a licensing agreement with PARI for the use of the optimized eFlow Nebulizer System for delivery of ARIKAYCE in treating patients with NTM infections, CF and bronchiectasis. We have rights to several US and foreign issued patents, and patent applications involving improvements to the optimized eFlow Nebulizer System. Under the licensing agreement, PARI is entitled to receive payments either in cash, qualified stock or a combination of both, at PARI’s discretion, based on achievement of certain milestone events including phase 3 trial initiation (which occurred in 2012), first acceptance of MAA submission (or equivalent) in the US of ARIKAYCE and the device, first receipt of marketing approval in the US for ARIKAYCE and the device, and first receipt of marketing approval in a major EU country for ARIKAYCE and the device. In addition, PARI is entitled to receive royalty payments in the mid-single digits on commercial net sales of ARIKAYCE pursuant to the licensing agreement, subject to certain specified annual minimum royalties. In July 2014, we entered into a Commercialization Agreement (the PARI Agreement) with PARI for the manufacture and supply of eFlow nebulizer systems and related accessories (the Device) as optimized for use with our proprietary liposomal amikacin for inhalation. The PARI Agreement has an initial term of fifteen years from the first commercial sale of ARIKAYCE pursuant to the licensing agreement (the Initial Term). The term of the PARI Agreement may be extended by us for an additional five years by providing written notice to PARI at the least one year prior to the expiration of the Initial Term.

In 2004 and 2009, we entered into a research funding agreements with Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, Inc. (CFFT) whereby we received $1.7 million and $2.2 million for each respective agreement in research funding for the development of ARIKAYCE. If ARIKAYCE becomes an approved product for patients with CF in the US, we will owe a payment to CFFT of up to $13.4 million that is payable over a three-year period after approval as a commercialized drug in the US. Furthermore, if certain global sales milestones are met within five years of the drug commercialization, we would owe an additional $3.9 million in additional payments. Since there is significant development risk associated with ARIKAYCE, we have not accrued these obligations.

 

In February 2014, we entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Therapure for the manufacture of ARIKAYCE at the larger scales necessary to support commercialization. Pursuant to the agreement, we collaborated with Therapure to construct a production area for the manufacture of ARIKAYCE in Therapure’s existing manufacturing facility in Canada. We paid Therapure approximately $12 million for the build out of the construction area and related manufacturing costs. Therapure manufactures ARIKAYCE for us on a non-exclusive basis. The agreement has an initial term of five years from the first date on which Therapure delivers ARIKAYCE to us after we obtain permits related to the manufacture of ARIKAYCE. Under the agreement, we are obligated to pay certain minimum amounts for the batches of ARIKAYCE produced each calendar year.

 

In December 2014, we entered into a services agreement with SynteractHCR, Inc. (Synteract) pursuant to which we retained Synteract to perform implementation and management services in connection with the 212 study. We anticipate that aggregate costs relating to all work orders for the 212 study will be approximately $40 million over the period of the study. In April 2015, we entered into a work order with Synteract to perform implementation and management services for the 312 study. We anticipate that aggregate costs relating to all work orders for the 312 study will be approximately $20 million over the period of the study.

 

In July 2016, we signed an operating lease for additional laboratory space located in Bridgewater, NJ for which the initial lease term expires in September 2021. Future minimum rental payments under this lease are $2.1 million.

 

Future Funding Requirements

 

We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations, to develop and commercialize ARIKAYCE, to develop INS1009, and to develop, acquire, in-license or co-promote other products that address orphan or rare diseases. Our future capital requirements may be substantial and will depend on many factors, including:

 

·                   the timing and cost of our anticipated clinical trials of ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung infections;

·                   the decisions of the FDA and EMA with respect to our applications for marketing approval of ARIKAYCE in the US and Europe; the costs of activities related to the regulatory approval process; and the timing of approvals, if received;

·                   the cost of putting in place the sales and marketing capabilities necessary to be prepared for a potential commercial launch of ARIKAYCE, if approved;

·                   the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims;

·                   the costs of our manufacturing-related activities;

·                   the costs associated with commercializing ARIKAYCE if we receive marketing approval; and

·                   subject to receipt of marketing approval, the levels, timing and collection of revenue received from sales of approved products, if any, in the future.

 

In April 2015, we generated net proceeds of $222.9 million from the issuance of 11.5 million shares of common stock. We believe we currently have sufficient funds to meet our financial needs for the next twelve months. However, our business strategy may require us to, or we may otherwise determine to, raise additional capital at any time through equity or debt financing(s), strategic transactions or otherwise. Such additional funding may be necessary to continue to develop our potential product candidates, to pursue the license or purchase of complementary technologies, to commercialize our product candidates or to purchase other products. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and commercialization or our plans to establish a sales and marketing force, any of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. The source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon equity and debt market conditions, interest rates and, more specifically, our continued progress in our regulatory, development and commercial activities. We cannot assure you that such capital funding will be available on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient additional funds when required, we may be forced to delay, restrict or eliminate all or a portion of our research or development programs, dispose of assets or technology or cease operations.

 

To date, we have not generated material revenue from ARIKAYCE and we do not know when, or if, we will generate material revenue. We do not expect to generate significant revenue unless or until we obtain marketing approval of, and secure reimbursement of and commercialize, ARIKAYCE.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We do not have any interest in special purpose entities, structured finance entities or other variable interest entities.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We use our historical experience and other relevant factors when developing our estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our consolidated balance sheets and the amounts of revenue reported in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss are effected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for research and development, stock-based compensation, identifiable intangible assets, and accrued expenses. The accounting policies discussed below are considered critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on our judgment. Actual results could differ from our estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. For the required interim updates of our accounting policies see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

ITEM 3.                                                 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As of June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents were in cash accounts or were invested in money market funds. Such accounts or investments are not insured by the federal government.

 

As of June 30, 2016, we had $25.0 million of fixed rate borrowings that bear interest at 9.25% outstanding under a Loan and Security Agreement we entered into in June 2012 and amended most recently in December 2015. If a 10% change in interest rates was to have occurred on June 30, 2016, this change would not have had a material effect on the fair value of our debt as of that date, nor would it have had a material effect on our future earnings or cash flows.

 

The majority of our business is conducted in US dollars. However, we do conduct certain transactions in other currencies, including Euros, British Pounds, and Japanese Yen. Historically, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have not materially affected our results of operations and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our results of operations were not materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

ITEM 4.                                                 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016.  The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the periodic reports that we file or submit with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on that evaluation as of June 30, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.                                                 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On July 15, 2016, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against us and certain executive officers: Hoey v. Insmed Incorporated, et al. The complaint includes allegations that, during the class period between March 18, 2013 and June 8, 2016, we and certain executive officers violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act in making various statements related to the European MAA of ARIKAYCE with the EMA. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. We believe that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously; however, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit.

 

ITEM 1A.                                        RISK FACTORS

 

Except for the historical information in this report on Form 10-Q, the matters contained in this report include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such factors may have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

You should consider carefully the risk factors, together with all of the other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Each of these risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock. There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, except for the following updates:

 

Risks Related to Development and Commercialization of our Product Candidates

 

Our near term prospects are highly dependent on the success of our most advanced product candidate, ARIKAYCE. If we are unable to successfully complete the development of, obtain regulatory approval for, and successfully commercialize ARIKAYCE, our business and the value of our common stock may be materially adversely affected.

 

We are investing substantially all of our efforts and financial resources in the development of ARIKAYCE, our most advanced product candidate. Our ability to generate product revenue from ARIKAYCE will depend heavily on the successful completion of development of, receipt of regulatory approval for, and commercialization of, ARIKAYCE.

 

Positive results from preclinical studies of a drug candidate may not be predictive of similar results in human clinical trials, and promising results from earlier clinical trials of a drug candidate may not be replicated in later clinical trials. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in late-stage clinical trials even after achieving promising results in earlier stages of development. Accordingly, the results of the completed clinical trials for ARIKAYCE may not be predictive of the results we may obtain in our clinical trials currently in progress or other trials.

 

We are conducting a global phase 3 clinical study of ARIKAYCE (the 212 or CONVERT study) in adult non-CF patients with NTM lung infections caused by MAC that are refractory to treatment. The CONVERT study is designed to confirm the culture conversion results seen in our phase 2 clinical trial (the 112 study). The clinical trial process may fail to demonstrate with statistical significance that our drug product candidates are effective for the proposed indications, or may fail to establish adequate safety. Such failure may cause us to abandon a drug product candidate and may delay development of other drug product candidates.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we filed an MAA with the EMA seeking approval of ARIKAYCE in the EU for the treatment of NTM lung infections based on the data from the 112 study. In February 2015 the EMA validated our MAA for ARIKAYCE for NTM lung infections, as well as cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with Pseudomonas lung infections. The EMA subsequently requested additional information with respect to the CF indication with respect to the similarity of ARIKAYCE to another product that has an orphan designation for the same indication. In the third quarter of 2015, the EMA adopted our request to withdraw the Pseudomonas indication from our MAA.

 

In April 2016, we submitted our written responses to the EMA’s 180-day list of outstanding issues (LOI). We subsequently participated in an oral explanation hearing with the CHMP in May 2016 to address the LOI. After the CHMP meeting, the CHMP concluded that the data submitted did not provide enough evidence to support an approval. In June 2016, we withdrew our MAA from the EMA and intend to resubmit the MAA when clinical data from our CONVERT study is available. We do not expect ARIKAYCE

or any other drug candidates we may develop to be commercially available in any market until we get requisite approval from the EMA, FDA or equivalent regulatory agency. The failure to obtain such approvals may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and our prospects.

 

We have limited experience operating internationally, are subject to a number of risks associated with our international activities and operations and may not be successful in our efforts to expand internationally.

 

We have manufacturing, collaboration, clinical trial and other relationships outside the US, but we currently have limited operations outside of the US. Specifically, as of December 31, 2015, we had 11 employees located in Europe, and we expect that number to grow in 2016 and beyond as we prepare for commercialization in Europe. In order to meet our long-term goals, we will need to grow our international operations over the next several years. Consequently, we are and will continue to be subject to additional risks related to operating in foreign countries, including:

 

·                   we have limited experience operating our business internationally;

 

·                   we may not achieve the optimal pricing and reimbursement for ARIKAYCE;

 

·                   there may be fewer addressable NTM patients in international markets than were originally anticipated;

 

·                   unexpected adverse events related to ARIKAYCE or our other product candidates that occur in foreign markets that we have not experienced in the US;

 

·                   local, economic and political conditions, including geopolitical events, such as war and terrorism, foreign currency fluctuations, which could result in increased or unpredictable operating expenses and reduced revenues and other obligations incident to doing business in, or with a company located in, another country;

 

·                   unexpected changes in reimbursement and pricing requirements, tariffs, trade barriers and regulatory requirements;

 

·                   any changes resulting from (i) the uncertainty and instability in economic and market conditions caused by the UK’s vote to exit the European Union; and (ii) the uncertainty regarding how the UK’s access to the EU Single Market and the wider trading, legal, regulatory and labor environments, especially in the UK and European Union, will by impacted by the UK’s vote to exit the European Union, including the resulting impact on our business;

 

·                   economic weakness, including foreign currency exchange risks, inflation or political instability in particular foreign economies and markets; and

 

·                   compliance with foreign or US laws, rules and regulations, including data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, anti-competition regulations, import, export and trade restrictions, anti- bribery/anti-corruption laws, regulations or rules, which could lead to actions by us or our licensees, distributors, manufacturers, other third parties who act on our behalf or with whom we do business in foreign countries or our employees who are working abroad that could subject us to investigation or prosecution under such foreign or US laws.

 

These and other risks associated with our international operations may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock and Listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market

 

We are subject to a securities class action lawsuit, which may require significant management time and attention and significant legal expenses and may result in an unfavorable outcome, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

We and certain of our officers have been named as defendants in a securities class action lawsuit that alleges that we and certain executive officers violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by making materially false or misleading statements and omissions relating to the European MAA of ARIKAYCE with the EMA. While we believe that we have substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims in the class action and intend to vigorously defend the case, this lawsuit could divert management’s attention from our ordinary business operations, the outcome of the pending litigation is difficult to predict and quantify, and the defense against the underlying claims could be costly. The ultimate resolution of this matter could result in payments of monetary damages or other costs, materially and adversely affect our business,

financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or adversely affect our reputation, and consequently, could negatively impact the trading price of our common stock.

 

We have insurance policies related to the risks associated with our business, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies. However, there is no assurance that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or that our insurance carriers will cover all claims in that litigation. If we are not successful in our defense of the claims asserted in the putative action and those claims are not covered by insurance or exceed our insurance coverage, we may have to pay damage awards, indemnify our officers from damage awards that may be entered against them and pay the costs and expenses incurred in defense of, or in any settlement of, such claims.

 

In addition, there is the potential for additional shareholder litigation, and we could be materially and adversely affected by such matters.

(i)            Following the execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord’s obtaining all required building, construction and any other permits, approvals or consents required to comply with all applicable Laws, Landlord shall install card readers for the doors entering the Premises and provide Tenant with access cards for such readers and deliver the Premises, including all building systems, fume hoods, gas lines, HVAC, plumbing, electrical and life safety/security systems for the Building in operating order (the “ Landlord’s Base Building Work ”) and shall perform the Initial Tenant Improvements described as the Initial Tenant Improvements Work in Exhibit “M” attached hereto as part of the preparation of the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy. The Landlord’s Base Building Work shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.

 

(ii)           Landlord shall advise Tenant, in writing, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of Substantial Completion (hereinafter defined) of the Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work.  Within two (2) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of Substantial Completion (hereinafter defined) of Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, Tenant shall be granted an opportunity to walk-through the Premises, with a representative of Landlord, in order to verify Substantial Completion (hereinafter defined) of the Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work. Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice of any defects or incomplete work within two (2) Business Days following the walk-through.  For purposes of this Lease the terms “ Substantial Completion ” or “ Substantially Complete ” when referring to the Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, shall mean that (x) such work has been completed in accordance with (i) the provisions of this Lease applicable thereto, (ii) the plans and specifications for such work, and (iii) all applicable Laws, except for minor details of construction, decoration and mechanical adjustments, if any, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with the performance of the Initial Tenant Improvements, or which, in accordance with good construction practice, should be completed after the completion of the Initial Tenant Improvements, and (y) the Premises is broom clean with all construction debris and equipment removed from the Premises, and the Premises is delivered to Tenant, and (z) Landlord has obtained a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy from the applicable local governing authority (provided that if Landlord procures a temporary certificate of occupancy, Landlord shall thereafter procure a permanent certificate of occupancy), if required by Law.  It is agreed that Tenant and Landlord shall promptly review any defects or incomplete work that are described in the written notice given by Tenant to Landlord and based upon such review, Landlord and Tenant shall prepare a list

(b)           Tenant shall have the rights and obligations set forth in this Section 1(b) with respect to those items of tangible personal property located in the Building on the Effective Date (collectively, the “ Retained FFE ”) listed on Exhibit “E”   attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.  Tenant shall have the right to use the Retained FFE without charge to Tenant on the following terms and conditions.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, be responsible to maintain the Retained FFE in as good condition as received on the date of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear and damage from casualty excepted, and to make all repairs to, as and when reasonably needed the Retained FFE arising from Tenant’s use and operation of the Retained FFE and/or Premises, any alteration thereto, the moving of the Retained FFE within the Premises or the negligent act, omission or misuse of the Retained FFE by Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors; provided, however that except for Tenant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct Tenant shall not be obligated to replace the Retained FFE or make any repairs thereto if Tenant no longer desires to utilize such Retained FFE.  Tenant has inspected the Retained FFE and agrees to take same in their “AS-IS” and “WHERE-IS” condition on the Effective Date.  Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Tenant is taking the Retained FFE from Landlord without any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the condition of the Retained FFE or the suitability of same for Tenant’s use; provided Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that it owns the Retained FFE free and clear and all liens and encumbrances.  Landlord shall retain the ownership of the Retained FFE during the Term, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 1 (b).  During the Term, Tenant shall have the sole right to possession and a license and use of the Retained FFE.  If Tenant desires to remove, dispose of, replace, or modify any lab benches, ventilation hoods or equipment listed on Exhibit “E” as Retained FFE during the Term, Tenant first shall notify Landlord which items of Retained FFE Tenant desires to remove, dispose of, or replace, as the case may be.  Within twenty-one (21) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord shall (i) have the right to remove any or all of the Retained FFE items described in the Tenant’s notice from the Premises at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, or (ii) consent to Tenant’s desired removal, disposition or replacement of any or all of the Retained FFE listed in Tenant’s notice, which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If Landlord fails to respond during such twenty-one (21) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to Tenant’s desired removal, disposition or replacement of any or all of the Retained FFE listed in Tenant’s notice.

 

3



 

(i)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Event of Default exists on the fourth (4 th ) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall transfer ownership of the Retained FFE to Tenant by way of executing and delivering a quit-claim bill of sale, in the form attached hereto as “Exhibit F” .  If an Event of Default exists on the fourth (4 th ) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall retain ownership of the Retained FFE for the Term, and shall not transfer ownership of same the Retained FFE to Tenant, unless and until such Event of Default is thereafter cured.

 

(ii)           In connection with said transfer, Landlord shall retain a duly perfected first priority purchase money or other security interest in the Retained FFE to secure Tenant’s continued performance of its obligations under this Lease.  The security interest shall be extinguished by Landlord upon the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease or the earlier date of Tenant removal, disposal, or replacement with Landlord’s consent (each, a “ Removal ”) of any such items by Tenant so long as there is no Event of Default at such time and so long as there is no default then existing under this Lease (that is not cured within the applicable cure period, if any). Tenant shall promptly repair any damage caused to the Premises or Building by the removal of any such Retained FFE, such repairs to be reasonably approved by Landlord.

 

(iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Removal of any Retained FFE will adversely affect the structure or systems in or of the Building in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, then unless Tenant agrees promptly to repair any damage caused by such Removal to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, Landlord shall have the right to prevent such Removal in Landlord’s sole discretion.  Tenant’s rights to the Retained FFE are appurtenant to this Lease and Tenant may only transfer, assign, or otherwise convey said rights together with a transfer, assignment, sublease or conveyance of this Lease as otherwise provided in this Lease.

 

2.             TERM .          (a)          The term of this Lease (the “ Term ”) is five (5) years and three (3) months.  The Term shall begin on the date that is seven (7) days after Landlord Substantially Completes the Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work (the “Commencement Date”) and shall, subject to extension in accordance with this Lease, end on the last day of the month which is five (5) years and three (3) months after the Commencement Date occurs, or such earlier date upon which the Term may expire or be terminated pursuant to any of the conditions of this Lease or pursuant to law (the “Expiration Date”).  Landlord and Tenant desire the Landlord Substantially Complete the Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work on or about the date which is two (2) months after the Effective Date (the “Estimated Substantial Completion Date”).  If for any reason (other than Tenant Delay, as hereafter defined), Landlord’s Work shall not be Substantially Completed on the Estimated Substantial Completion Date, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect; the Commencement Date shall be postponed until the day which is seven (7) days after Substantial Completion has occurred; and the Expiration Date shall be adjusted to provide for the full term of this Lease. If Landlord’s Work is delayed because

 

4



 

of any Tenant Delay, then the Commencement Date shall be the day which is seven (7) days after the day the Landlord would have otherwise Substantially Completed Landlord’s Work but for the occurrence of such Tenant Delay.

 

(b)           When the Commencement Date occurs, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement memorializing the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of this Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “G” (the “Commencement Date Agreement”); provided, however, that the failure to enter into such an agreement shall not effect the Commencement Date or Expiration Date.  Tenant shall acknowledge receipt of the Commencement Date Agreement by signing a copy of same and returning it to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof. Tenant’s failure to sign the Commencement Date Agreement and return same to Landlord as provided in this Section, or otherwise respond in writing to Landlord during such period, shall be deemed to be Tenant’s acceptance of the Commencement Date and Expiration Date as stated in the Commencement Date Agreement.

 

(c)           Provided that Tenant gives Landlord copies of all insurance required under Section 8, and otherwise complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease (excluding payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent), Tenant, its employees, designers, suppliers, invitees and contractors (“ Tenant’s Agents ”) shall have access to the Premises following the Effective Date and thereafter during the performance of Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, to design, estimate, and plan the Initial Tenant Improvements (as hereafter defined), provided that Tenant and Tenant’s Agents strictly comply with all reasonable conditions and requirements imposed on such access by Landlord, and shall not interfere with the performance of Landlord’s Base Building Work, the Initial Tenant Improvements Work or any other work in the Project by Landlord, Landlord’s contractors, and other tenants of the Project and their contractors.  In the event that Tenant or Tenant’s Agents interfere with the performance of Landlord’s Base Building Work or the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant, upon written demand, to remove or cause the removal forthwith of those of Tenant’s Agents from the Premises, and Tenant agrees to comply with such demand promptly.  Tenant shall be liable to Landlord in the event Tenant or Tenant’s Agents damage any part of the Premises or the Project, including, without limitation, Landlord’s Base Building Work, the Initial Tenant Improvements Work and the Retained FF&E. Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Premises, the Project or the Retained FF&E and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant’s and Tenant’s Agents exercise of Tenant’s rights under this Section 2(c).

 

(d)           Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work or perform any services to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, other than Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work.  Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date in its then “as-is” condition, subject to Landlord’s completion of Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work and latent defects.

(e)             Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to extend the Term for all (but not part) of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(e), Tenant must exercise the option for all of the Premises for a period of five (5) years, and such option to be exercised by Tenant giving written notice of its exercise to Landlord in the manner provided in this Lease not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term.  The extension period shall commence on the day immediately following the last day of the initial Term.  No extension option may be exercised by Tenant if an Event of Default exists at the time of exercise of the option.

 

(i)            If Tenant exercises its option to extend the Term, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s exercise notice, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s reasonable determination of the Base Rent (including increases) and Common Expense Rent for the Premises for the five (5) year option period, which Base Rent amount shall be the Prevailing Market Rate (as hereafter defined) for such space.  Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of Landlord’s notice setting forth Landlord’s determination of Base Rent and Common Expense Rent to notify Landlord in writing that Tenant (i) agrees with Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent and Common Expense Rent, or (ii) does not agree with Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent and that Tenant elects to determine the Prevailing Market Rate in accordance with the procedure set forth below.  If Tenant does not so notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days of its receipt of Landlord’s notice, Base Rent and Common Expense Rent for the Premises for the applicable extended term shall be the Base Rent and Common Expense Rent set forth in Landlord’s notice to Tenant. The phrase “ Prevailing Market Rate ” shall mean the then prevailing market rate for the twelve (12) month period prior to Tenant’s renewal notice for base rent for a five (5) year term calculated on a per rentable square foot basis for leases covering buildings comparable to the condition of the Premises including the Initial Tenant Improvements and any subsequent Alteration made by Tenant located in central and northern New Jersey (hereinafter referred to as the “ Market Area ”), and taking into account all other relevant factors, including but not limited to rent concessions. The Prevailing Market Rate shall be determined by an appraisal procedure as follows:

 

In the event that Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rate, then Tenant shall specify, in such notice to Landlord, Tenant’s selection of a real estate appraiser, who shall act on Tenant’s behalf in determining the Prevailing Market Rate.  Within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s selection of a real estate appraiser, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant, shall designate a real estate appraiser, who shall act on Landlord’s behalf in the determination of the Prevailing Market Rate.  Within twenty (20) days of the selection of Landlord’s appraiser, the two (2) appraisers shall render a joint written determination of the Prevailing Market Rate.  If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree upon a joint written determination within said twenty (20) day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser within such twenty (20) day period.  Within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third appraiser, the third appraiser shall render a written determination

 

6



 

of the Prevailing Market Rate by selecting, without change, the determination of one (1) of the original appraisers as to the Prevailing Market Rate and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding.  All appraisers selected in accordance with this subparagraph shall have at least ten (10) years prior experience in the commercial leasing market of the Market Area and shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or similar professional organizations.  If either Landlord or Tenant fails or refuses to timely select an appraiser, the other appraiser shall alone determine the Prevailing Market Rate.  Landlord and Tenant agree that they shall be bound by the determination of Prevailing Market Rate pursuant to this paragraph.  Landlord shall bear the fee and expense of its appraiser, Tenant shall bear the fee and expenses of its appraiser, and Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the fee and expenses of the third appraiser, if any.

 

(ii)           Except for the Base Rent, which shall be determined as set forth in subparagraph (e)(i) above and the Common Expense Rent as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s notice to Tenant setting forth Landlord’s determination of Base Rent and Common Expense Rent, the leasing of the Premises by Tenant for the applicable extended term shall be subject to all of the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, including Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent; provided , however , that any rent abatements or other concessions applicable to the Premises during the initial Term shall not apply during any such extended term, nor shall Tenant have any additional extension options, beyond the option described in this Section 2(e).  Landlord and Tenant shall promptly enter into an amendment to this Lease to evidence Tenant’s exercise of its renewal option, the Base Rent and Common Expense Rent for such renewal term, and the expiration date of such renewal term.

 

(iii)          The option granted to Tenant in this Section 2(e) of the Lease is personal to the original Tenant and may be exercised only by the original Tenant or a Related Entity or Successor Entity, as the case may be, and may not be exercised or assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than the original Tenant or a Related Entity or Successor Entity.  The option granted to Tenant in this Section 2(e) are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any option be separated from this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.  If at any time an option under this Section 2(e) is exercisable by Tenant, and the Lease has been assigned other than to a Related Entity or Successor Entity, the option shall be deemed null and void.

 

3.             RENT .

 

(a)           Tenant hereby covenants and agrees, without the right of set off or deduction whatsoever, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6, Section 10 or Section 12 of this Lease, to pay to Landlord Base Rent, and additional rent , including, without limitation, the Common Expense Rent and Real Property Taxes (collectively, “Additional Rent”) during the Term.  The Base Rent shall be paid in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term commencing with the Rent Commencement Date.  All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be made at Landlord’s office at the address set forth above or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate to Tenant in writing.  If the Rent Commencement Date

 

7



 

is not the first day of a month, then monthly Base Rent for the partial month in which the Rent Commencement Date falls shall be prorated on a per diem basis.  The “Rent Commencement Date” shall be the day which shall be three (3) full calendar months after the Commencement Date.  For avoidance of doubt, if the Commencement Date shall be August 14, 2016, then the Rent Commencment Date shall be November 14, 2016.  During the entire Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as yearly rent (hereinafter “Base Rent”), the following sums, in equal monthly installments, in advance on the first day of each calendar month:

(b)  If the payment of any sum required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation any Base Rent and Additional Rent) is not received by Landlord in good funds within five (5) Business Days after the date on which it is due and payable or should any check from Tenant be returned to Landlord as uncollectible, then a delinquency service charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount overdue (the “Service Charge”) shall become due and payable to Landlord as liquidated damages for Tenant’s failure to make prompt payment to Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the actual damages to Landlord due to such late or non-payment exceed the interest cost of money and are difficult to estimate. Such Service Charge shall become payable as Additional Rent within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receiving an invoice therefor.  If the payment of any sum required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation any Base Rent and Additional Rent) is not received by Landlord in good funds within five (5) Business Days after the date on which it is due and payable, Tenant shall also pay Landlord as Additional Rent interest on such sum at an annual rate equal to 4% in excess of the prime rate announced from time-to-time by Citibank, NA or such other major commercial bank in the United States designated by Landlord (“ Interest ”), but subject to any maximum interest permitted by Law, on any amounts not received by Landlord from the date on which they became due and payable.

Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes for the calendar year within which the Expiration Date occurs shall be prorated based upon the number of days in such year falling within the Term.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5(c) above, from and after the Real Property Tax Conversion Date, the Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes shall mean the amount by which the sum of (i) (A) the product of the then assessed valuation for Building L (as determined by the valuation of Building L set forth on the Property Record Card maintained in the office Tax Assessor

 

12



 

for Bridgewater Township, or any successor thereto) and a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square footage of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the rentable square footage of Building L, multiplied by (B) the then applicable tax rate for Bridgewater Township, and (ii) the product of the then assessed valuation of the land located within Condominium Unit 2 and the then applicable tax rate for Bridgewater Township, which product shall then be multiplied by the fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then current rentable square footage of the Premises, and the denominator of which shall be the then current rentable square footage of all tenantable buildings located within Condominium Unit 2, exceeds the Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building utilizing the methodology described in Exhibit “H” for the Base Tax Year.  Promptly following the Real Property Tax Conversion Date and thereafter within one hundred twenty (120) days following the first day of each successive calendar year within the Term that occurs after the Real Property Tax Conversion Date, Landlord shall reasonably determine or estimate the Real Property Taxes for such calendar year (the “ Projected Post-Conversion Real Property Taxes ”) and shall submit such information to Tenant in a Landlord’s Tax Statement .  Beginning on the Commencement Date following giving of a Landlord’s Tax Statement and continuing thereafter until Landlord renders the next Landlord’s Tax Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of its obligation under this Section of this Lease, a Monthly Tax Payment equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s proportionate share of the Projected Post-Conversion Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year.  Tenant’s first Monthly Tax Payment after receipt of Landlord’s Tax Statement shall be accompanied by the payment of an amount equal to the product of the number of full months, if any, within the calendar year which shall have elapsed prior to such first Monthly Tax Payment, times the Monthly Tax Payment.  Each Landlord’s Tax Statement shall reconcile the payments made by Tenant pursuant to the preceding Landlord’s Tax Statement with Tenant’s proportionate share of the actual Real Property Taxes imposed for the period covered thereby.  Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Tax Statement; and Landlord shall credit any surplus due to Tenant against the next accruing Monthly Tax Payment(s) of Tenant, or if the Term shall have expired, the amount of such overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days following delivery of Landlord’s Tax Statement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, if the Term shall have expired as a result of a default by Tenant, or Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease on the Expiration Date, then Landlord shall have the right to retain the amount of such surplus and apply it against any Base Rent or Additional Rent that Tenant owes Landlord. Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes for the calendar year within which the Expiration Date occurs shall be prorated based upon the number of days in such year falling within the Term.

 

(e)           Landlord shall have the exclusive right to contest any valuation of Condominium Unit 2, or any part thereof (including the Premises), or the amount of any Real Property Taxes, by legal proceedings, or in such other manner as it deems suitable.  If Landlord obtains a refund or abatement of Real Property Taxes for (i) the Building, or (ii) for the land portion of Condominium Unit 2, as the case may be, then Landlord shall first be entitled to receive a reimbursement from any refund or abatement for all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by it in connection with

 

13



 

obtaining such refund or abatement.  After deduction of the expenses described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Landlord shall credit Tenant’s proportionate share of the net refund or abatement of Real Property Taxes for (i) the Building, or (ii) for the land portion of Condominium Unit 2, as the case may be, for any year in which Tenant contributed to Real Property Taxes pursuant to the terms hereof, against the next accruing Monthly Tax Payment(s) of Tenant, or if the Term shall have expired, Tenant’s proportionate share of the net refund or abatement shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, if the Term shall have expired as a result of a default by Tenant, or Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease on the Expiration Date, then Landlord shall have the right to retain Tenant’s proportionate share of the net refund or abatement and apply it against any Base Rent or Additional Rent that Tenant owes Landlord.

(b)           The entire compensation award for any taking shall belong to and be the property of Landlord, including but not limited to, all damages as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, reversion, and fee, without any deduction therefrom for any present or future estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns such award to Landlord, except that Tenant shall be entitled to receive such portion thereof as may be allocated to compensation paid for Tenant’s Property, provided that Tenant so proves in any such condemnation proceeding.  Tenant shall be entitled to pursue its own separate claim against the condemning authority for loss of business and the cost of relocation, so long as such claim does not reduce the award to which Landlord is entitled.

 

19



 

(c)           For the purpose of this Section 10, a sale to such public or quasi-public authority under threat of condemnation shall constitute a vesting of title and shall be construed as a taking by such condemning authority.

 

11.          QUIET ENJOYMENT .  Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant upon paying the Base Rent and Additional Rent and all other charges herein provided for and performing and fulfilling the covenants, agreements, and conditions of this Lease on the Tenant’s part to be performed and fulfilled, shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance or molestation by the Landlord or any person(s) claiming through the Landlord, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

 

12.          DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION .

 

(a)         In the event the Premises (or a portion of the Project which, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion is necessary for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises) are damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall retain a reputable, independent third-party contractor reasonably acceptable to Tenant who, within ninety (90) days of such casualty, shall give written notice (the “ Determination Notice ”) to Landlord and Tenant of its determination of how long it will take to rebuild and restore the damaged Premises or portion of the Project to the Delivery Condition (as hereafter defined).  In addition, Landlord shall, within such ninety (90) day period, obtain written confirmation from the mortgagee of the Premises, if any, as to whether it will make all or substantially all of the insurance proceeds payable in connection with such casualty available for restoration (the “ Mortgagee Notice ”), and Landlord shall promptly deliver the Mortgagee Notice to Tenant.  In the event that the Premises or portion of the Project is so destroyed that it cannot be repaired or rebuilt to the Delivery Condition within twelve (12) months after the expiration of ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty, or if there are less than twelve (12) months remaining in the Term and the Premises is so damaged that it cannot be repaired or rebuilt within sixty (60) days after the expiration of ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty, or the mortgagee of the Premises has informed Landlord that such mortgagee will not make all or substantially all of the insurance proceeds payable in connection with such casualty available for restoration, then, within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Determination Notice and Mortgagee Notice, by delivery of a notice to the other, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease.  Upon the giving of any termination notice pursuant to this Section, all obligations hereunder with respect to periods from and after the effective date of termination shall thereupon cease and terminate, and in such event the Base Rent and all Additional Rent and other sums payable under this Lease shall be apportioned and paid in full by Tenant to Landlord to that date, and neither party shall thereafter have any liability hereunder, except that any obligation or liability of either party, actual or contingent, under this Lease which has accrued on or prior to such termination shall survive.  For purposes of this Lease, the term the “ Delivery Condition ” shall mean the Premises at the time the Premises is made available to Tenant with Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements completed or the portion of the Project which, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion is necessary for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises is restored such that Tenant can use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use.

 

20



 

(b)           If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 12(a), Landlord shall expeditiously (subject to Force Majeure and Tenant Delays and taking into account the time necessary to adjust insurance proceeds, prepare plans and specifications, and obtain all required governmental approvals) restore the Premises to the Delivery Condition, subject to modifications required by applicable Laws.  Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate and coordinate with each other regarding the performance of their respective restoration obligations.  In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, all or any portion of the Premises as a result of any such casualty, then, from the date of such casualty until the Abatement Expiration Date (as defined below), (a) Base Rent shall abate in proportion to the portion of the Premises rendered unusable, utilizing the Base Rent rate applicable to any such portion of the Premises, (b) the Additional Rent consisting of Common Expense Costs shall abate in proportion to the rentable square footage of the portion of the Premises rendered unusable and (c) Additional Rent consisting of Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes shall abate in proportion to the portion of the Premises rendered unusable.  The “Abatement Expiration Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) the date Tenant commences to use the portion of the Premises rendered unusable or (ii) the date when Landlord has substantially completed all of its restoration obligations with respect to such casualty.

 

(c)           Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage to, or to make any repairs or replacements of, the Alterations made by or for the benefit of Tenant after the completion of Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements, the Retained FFE or any fixtures, furniture or equipment installed in the Premises that Landlord is not otherwise required to repair or restore in order to restore the Premises to the Delivery Condition.

 

(d)           Tenant waives the provisions of any statutes which relate to the termination of leases when leased property is damaged or destroyed and agrees that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease, and the abatement of Rent set forth above is Tenant’s exclusive remedy against Landlord in the event of any casualty.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after the Tenant’s sending of a written notice of termination (the “Termination Notice”) to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Outside Date (as hereinafter defined) if the Premises are not in the Delivery Condition by such Outside Date. “Outside Date” means the date which shall be sixty (60) days after the date set forth in the Determination Notice for the completion of the repair work; provided, however if any Force Majeure Delay or Tenant Delay shall occur during the Period that Landlord is performing the repair work, then the Outside Date shall be delayed for such longer period of time as shall be reasonably necessary to complete the repairs, so long as Landlord is prosecuting such work with due diligence. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Premises are in the Delivery Condition within thirty (30) days after the Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Termination Notice, the such Termination Notice shall be deemed null and void, and the Term of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

 

21



 

13.          SUBORDINATION .  This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages or deeds of trust now existing upon or that may be hereafter placed upon the Premises and the land and Building and to all advances made or to be made thereon and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof and the lien of any such mortgages, deeds of trust and land leases shall be superior to all rights hereby or hereunder vested in Tenant, to the full extent of all sums secured thereby.  This provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination, and the recording of any such mortgage or deed of trust shall have preference and precedence and be superior and prior in lien to this Lease, irrespective of the date of recording.  To confirm such subordination, Tenant shall upon request of Landlord or the holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust execute and deliver to Landlord and any such holder within ten (10) days after any such request, any reasonable instrument that Landlord or such holder may reasonably request, including, but not limited to a subordination and attornment agreement wherein Tenant specifically agrees that its interest in the Premises is subordinate and inferior to such mortgage or deed of trust and that Tenant will attorn to the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust or any purchaser of the Building at a foreclosure sale in the event the mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed, provided that such instrument provides that Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as no Event of Default exists.  On the Effective Date, the Bank of America is the holder of a mortgage encumbering the Premises, Land and Building (the “BOA Mortgage”).  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts post Lease execution to have Bank of America enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) with Tenant on the Bank of America’s customary form.  With respect to any and all mortgages, or deeds of trust that may be placed upon the Premises, Land and Building which shall be subordinate to the BOA Mortgage, including any amendment, extension or other modification thereof (a “Subsequent Interest”), Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the holder(s) of all Subsequent Interests enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) with Tenant in such holders(s) customary form.  For purposes of this Section 13, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean that Landlord shall request that the holder(s) of any Subsequent Interest enter into and SNDA with Tenant in such holders(s) customary form, without any obligation on Landlord to obtain such SNDA, or commence any actions or legal proceeding to compel the holder(s) of any Subsequent Interest to enter into and SNDA with Tenant.

 

14.          SURRENDER OF PREMISES .  On or before the Expiration Date, whether by forfeiture or expiration of time, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as when received by Tenant from Landlord on the Commencement Date except for reasonable wear and tear and damage from casualty or condemnation, and Tenant shall remove (i) all Tenant’s Property in accordance with the provisions of Section 16, and (ii) any Specialty Installation (as hereinafter defined) that Landlord notified Tenant in accordance with Section 22 would be required to be removed prior to the Expiration Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Initial Tenant Improvements, or any of the office or laboratory improvements located in the Premises

 

22



 

prior to the performance of Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work.

 

15.          DEFAULT BY TENANT .

 

(a)           The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default:

 

(i)            Any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, or any part thereof shall at any time be in arrears and unpaid for five (5) days after the date due, or

 

(ii)           There is any default or breach on the part of Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the other covenants, agreements, or conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and said default or breach shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant (unless such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days and in such case, Tenant shall have commenced to cure said default within said thirty (30) days and thereafter continue diligently to pursue to completion the curing of same, but in no event to exceed ninety (90) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant), or

 

(iii)          The leasehold estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law, or

 

(iv)          Tenant shall fail to deliver within ten (10) days after a request therefor any document described in Sections 13 or 21 hereof.

 

(b)           If and whenever any Event of Default shall exist, Landlord shall have the right at its election then or at any time thereafter which such Event of Default exists to pursue any one or more of the following remedies in addition to all other rights or remedies provided herein or at law or in equity:

 

(i)            Re-enter the Premises, take possession of all buildings, improvements, additions, alterations, equipment and fixtures thereon, and eject all parties in possession therefrom, using, to the extent permitted by law, such force for that purpose as may be necessary, without being liable to any prosecution for said re-entry or the use of such force, and, without terminating this Lease, at any time and from time to time relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant or otherwise, receive and collect the rents therefor, applying the same first to payment of such reasonable expenses as Landlord may have paid, assumed or incurred in recovering possession of the Premises, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees, brokerage and reasonable remodeling of the Premises, paid, assumed or incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the Premises, and then to the fulfillment of the covenants of Tenant.  Any such reletting as provided for herein may be for the remainder of the Term as originally granted or for a longer or shorter period.  Landlord may execute any lease made pursuant to the terms hereof in Landlord’s own name and Tenant shall have no right or authority whatever to collect any rent whatever from such tenant.  In any case and whether or not the Premises or any part thereof be relet, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all sums required to be paid by Tenant up to the time of re-entry by Landlord, and thereafter Tenant shall, if required by Landlord, pay to Landlord until the end of the

 

23



 

Term, the equivalent amount of all rent and other charges required to be paid by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, less the avails of any such reletting during the Term, if any, after payment of the expenses of Landlord as aforesaid, and the same shall be due and payable on the several rent days herein specified.  No such re-entry by Landlord shall constitute an election to terminate this Lease unless and until Landlord thereafter gives Tenant written notice of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease.  Actions to collect any amounts due by Tenant as provided in this Section 15 may be brought from time to time on one or more occasions without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until expiration of the Term;

 

(ii)           Terminate this Lease, and with or without process of law, expel and remove Tenant, or any other person or persons in occupancy from the Premises, together with their goods and chattels, using, to the extent permitted by law, such force as may be necessary in the judgment of Landlord or its agents in so doing, and repossess and enjoy said Premises together with all improvements, additions, alterations, equipment and fixtures thereon, and in addition to any other remedy it may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant all reasonable damages it may incur by reason of such breach by Tenant.

 

16.          TENANT’S PROPERTY .  Upon termination of this Lease by expiration of time or otherwise, Tenant shall remove all of its furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment and personal property, including, without limitation the Retained FFE if Landlord has transferred same to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b)(i) of the Lease (collectively, the “Tenant’s Property”) from the Premises.  Tenant shall be obligated to repair any damage to the Premises, Building and Common Areas caused by such removal.

 

17.          HOLDING OVER  In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after termination of this Lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the Term and Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a holdover Tenant, at a Rent equal to one and one half (1.5) times the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the last month prior to the expiration of the Term for each calendar month or portion thereof that Tenant holds over, subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease.  The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Premises will be extremely substantial, will exceed the amount of the monthly Base Rent payable hereunder and will be impossible to accurately measure.  If the Premises are not surrendered upon the expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against any and all losses and liabilities resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such delay.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to the occupancy or possession by Tenant of the Premises beyond the Expiration Date, and Landlord, upon said Expiration Date, shall be entitled to the benefit of all legal remedies that now may be in force or may be hereafter enacted relating to the immediate repossession of the Premises.  The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

18.          SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

(a)           Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a one (1) year, irrevocable unconditional letter of credit issued by an Approved Bank for the benefit of Landlord in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Thirty and 64/100 Dollars ($256,630.64), subject to reduction in accordance with this Section 18, (collectively, the “Security Deposit”), containing (i) an “evergreen clause” providing that it shall automatically renew as of its initial and each subsequent expiry date unless the issuing bank gives Landlord written notice of the non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the then applicable expiry date, (ii) a provision obligating the issuing bank to issue a new letter of credit, without charge to Landlord, to any assignee of Landlord’s interest under the Lease, (iii) a provision stating that the letter of credit shall not in any way be modified or amended without Landlord’s prior written consent, and (iv) such other commercially reasonable provisions as Landlord may require from time to time. The face amount of the original letter of credit and any replacement letter of credit delivered to Landlord shall be equal to the amount of the Security Deposit then required under this Section 18.  The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of the terms and conditions by it to be observed and performed hereunder.  If any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord becomes overdue and remains unpaid, or should Landlord make any payments on behalf of Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease, or should Tenant fail to perform any of the terms and conditions of this Lease after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, then Landlord, at its option, and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, shall appropriate and apply the Security Deposit toward the payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other such sum payable hereunder, or loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to the breach or failure to perform on the part of Tenant.  For purposes of this Lease, Approved Bank shall mean any commercial bank having an office within the New York City/New Jersey metropolitan area which is rated A or better by Standard & Poor’s or any successor thereto (or having a comparable rating issued by another reputable and comparable rating agency if Standard & Poor’s or any successor thereto no longer exists or no longer publishes such ratings).  The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest and it is expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of default by Tenant.  Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s other funds.

 

(b)           Conditioned upon the full compliance by Tenant of all of the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, leaving the Premises in the condition required on the Expiration Date) and the prompt payment of all sums due hereunder, as and when they fall due, the Security Deposit (or the unapplied portion thereof) shall be returned in full to Tenant within forty five (45) days after the Expiration Date. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 18(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

 

(c)           In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceeding against Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of rent and other charges then due and owing Landlord for all periods prior to filing of such proceedings.

 

25



 

(d)     In the event of any transfer or any assignment of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to said transferee or assignee, and Landlord shall thereupon be automatically released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit provided that the transferee or assignee has assumed in writing all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease which arise from and after the date of the transfer or assignment.  In such event, Tenant agrees to look to the new lessor for the return of the Security Deposit.  Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an executed copy of any such assumption agreement. It is hereby agreed that the provisions of this Section shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new lessor.

 

(e)  Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant under this Lease after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the right to draw down the letter of credit for any of the reasons set forth in this Section 18 for the application of Security Deposit.  To exercise such right, (i) Landlord shall present the letter of credit to the issuing bank at the office in New York City/New Jersey set forth on the letter of credit and (ii) Landlord shall deliver to the issuing bank a statement from Landlord setting forth the amount of the draw and stating that Landlord is entitled to draw down the letter of credit pursuant to the provisions of Section 18 of this Lease.  Landlord shall apply the proceeds thereof towards the payment of the Base Rent, Additional Rent or such other sum payable hereunder, or any payments made by Landlord on behalf of Tenant, or any loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to the breach or failure to perform on the part of Tenant, and Landlord shall hold the balance, if any, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18.  Within ten (10) Business Days after demand, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount (in the form of cash or a replacement letter of credit) equal to the portion of the Security Deposit applied pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence and if Tenant shall provide a replacement letter of credit for the full amount of the Security Deposit, Landlord shall return to Tenant the original letter of credit or the balance of any cash then being held by Landlord in accordance with Section 18 above within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such replacement letter of credit.

 

(f)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges that the drawing down of said letter of credit shall not operate as a waiver of or preclude Landlord from exercising any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease.  In addition, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant any prior notice of the drawing down of the letter of credit (provided this sentence shall not be construed to waive any notice Landlord is required to provide in connection with any alleged default).

 

(g)  In the event of an assignment of this Lease by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain either (i) a new letter of credit from the issuing bank containing the same terms and for the same face amount as the letter of credit then held by Landlord which names the new lessor as the beneficiary or (ii) the written consent of the issuing bank to the assignment of the then existing letter of credit from Landlord to the new lessor in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the new lessor, provided the bank’s transfer forms are properly completed and delivered.  If Tenant obtains a new letter of credit, Landlord shall surrender the existing letter of credit to Tenant

 

26



 

simultaneously with Landlord’s receipt of the new letter of credit and the parties agree to coordinate such delivery and surrender so that it is done on the effective date of the assignment of this Lease by Landlord.

 

(h)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the original amount of the Security Deposit ($256,630.64) shall be reduced by $32,078.83, so that the amount of the Security Deposit shall be $224,551.81 as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred during the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (the “ Initial Security Period ”), and (ii)  the amount of the Security Deposit shall be further reduced following the Initial Security Period, then reduced amount of the Security Deposit ($224,551.81) shall be reduced by $32,078.83, so that the amount of the Security Deposit shall be $192,472.98 as of the second (2nd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred during the period beginning on the first (1 st ) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (the “ Second Security Period ”).  If an Event of Default shall have occurred during the Initial Security Period, then the Security Deposit shall not be reduced by the scheduled amount, and all further reductions shall be deemed forever waived even though the Event of Default in question is subsequently cured.  If no Event of Default shall have occurred during the Initial Security Period, but an Event of Default shall have occurred during the Second Security Period, then the amount of the Security Deposit shall not be reduced by the scheduled amount, the reductions shall be deemed forever waived even though the Event of Default in question is subsequently cured and the amount of the Security Deposit shall revert back to the original amount of $256,630.64.  No earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the (i) first (1st) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date with respect to the Initial Security Period, and/or (ii) the second (2 nd ) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date with respect to the Second Security Period, as the case may be, Tenant shall notify Landlord that Tenant desires to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit by the scheduled amount in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18(h) (the “ Security Reduction Request Notice ”).  Within forty five (45) days following Landlord’s receipt of a Security Reduction Request Notice, Landlord shall (i) notify Tenant that the conditions set forth in this Section 18(h) have been satisfied in all respects and confirm that the amount of the letter of credit may be reduced by $32,078.83 by amendment or replacement, or (ii) notify Tenant that the conditions set forth in this Section 18(h) have not been satisfied in all respects, in which case Landlord’s notice shall set forth in reasonable detail why the amount of the letter of credit shall not be reduced.  If Landlord’s notice confirms that conditions set forth in this Section 18(h) have been satisfied in all respects and that the amount of the letter of credit may be reduced by $32,078.83, and Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord a replacement letter of credit, then Landlord shall surrender the existing letter of credit to Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of the replacement letter of credit and the parties agree to coordinate such delivery and surrender so that it is done in an efficient manner.

21.          ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written request from Landlord, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord or to Landlord’s mortgagee, proposed mortgagee, land lessor or proposed purchaser of the Building or any part thereof, any estoppel certificates reasonably requested by Landlord, from time to time, which estoppel certificates shall show, among other thing, whether the Lease is in full force and effect and whether any changes may have been made to the original Lease; whether the Term of the Lease has commenced and full rental is accruing; whether there are, to Tenant’s knowledge, any defaults by Landlord and, if so, the nature of such defaults, whether possession has been assumed and all improvements to be provided by Landlord have been completed; whether rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance and that, to Tenant’s knowledge there are no liens, charges, or offsets against rental due or to become due.

 

22.          ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT .

 

(a)           Except for Minor Alterations (as defined below), Tenant may, from time to time, at its expense, make alterations or improvements and install any Tenant’s Property, in and to the Premises (hereinafter collectively referred to as “ Alterations ”) provided that Tenant first obtains the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and provided further that all of the following shall apply with respect to all Alterations:  (1) the Alterations shall be of a non-structural nature and the structural integrity of the Building shall not be affected; (2) the Alterations shall only be to the interior of the Premises; (3) the proper functioning of the HVAC, sanitary and other service systems of the Premises shall not be affected and the usage of such systems by Tenant shall not be increased; and (4) Tenant shall have appropriate insurance coverage, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, regarding the performance and installation of the Alterations.  Additionally, before proceeding with any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) at Tenant’s expense, obtain all necessary governmental permits and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of Alterations; (ii) submit to Landlord, for its written approval, working drawings, plans and specifications and all permits for the work to be done and Tenant shall not proceed with such Alterations until it has received Landlord’s approval (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and (iii) cause those contractors, materialmen and suppliers engaged to perform the Alterations to deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance (in a form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord) evidencing policies of commercial general liability insurance (providing the same coverages as required in Section 8 above) and workers’ compensation insurance.  The term “ Minor Alterations ” means (a) cosmetic and non-structural Alterations to the Premises, which (i) do not affect any Building systems, structure, or areas outside of the Premises and (ii) the cost of which, in the

 

28



 

aggregate, during any twelve (12)-month period during the Lease Term do not exceed $25,000.00.  Tenant may make Minor Alterations without Landlord’s consent, but upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Landlord.

 

(b)           Tenant shall cause the Alterations to be performed in compliance with all applicable permits, Laws, requirements of public authorities, plans and specifications and with Landlord’s Rules and Regulations or any other reasonable conditions that Landlord may impose on the Alterations.  Tenant shall cause the Alterations to be diligently performed in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and equipment at least equal in quality and class to the standards for the Building established by Landlord, and shall cause all Alterations to be paid for in full free and clear of all construction and any and all other liens and encumbrances.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans, copies of all construction contracts, governmental permits and certificates and proof of payment for all labor and materials, including, without limitation, copies of paid invoices and final lien waivers.  Landlord and Landlord’s representatives shall have the right, without the obligation, from time to time, to enter upon the Premises during the course of the performance of the Alterations, and upon completion of the Alterations, to observe and inspect the Alterations; however, by doing so, Landlord shall not be deemed to have passed upon the performance of the Alterations nor assumed any liability or responsibility with respect thereto.  Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove any Specialty Installations made by Tenant before the expiration or termination of the Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  If Landlord provides its written consent, at the time of giving such consent, to the extent the Alteration includes any “Specialty Installation” (as defined herein), Landlord shall advise Tenant whether Landlord will require such Specialty Installation or Specialty Installations to be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  As used in this Lease the term “ Specialty Installation ” means any Alteration, fixture or equipment made or installed by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents that is intended specifically for the use of Tenant or Tenant’s operations in the Premises and is not readily marketable or reusable by another office, laboratory, R&D, or general use tenant in the Premises and specifically shall include items which require special governmental permits, approvals, or consents for the installation or removal of same.

 

(c)           Tenant shall have the right to place and install Tenant’s Property in and upon the Premises, and fasten the same to the Premises. All Tenant’s Property whether acquired by Tenant at the commencement of the Term or placed or installed on the Premises by Tenant thereafter, shall remain Tenant’s Property.  Tenant shall have the right to remove the same at any time during the term of this Lease (and Tenant shall remove all such Tenant’s Property on or before the Expiration Date), provided that all damage to the Premises, Building and Common Areas caused by such removal shall be repaired by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

(d)           Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may desire to construct a clean room in the Premises during the Term.  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such an Alteration, provided (i) Tenant shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease in all respects, including without limitation the provisions of this Section 22, and (ii) Landlord shall have the right to designate the construction of such

 

29



 

clean room as a Specialty Installation and require Tenant to remove same before the expiration or termination of this Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and repair any damage caused by such removal.

 

23.          ACCESS TO PREMISES .  Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises during Business Hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, for the purpose of maintenance, repair, and for making additions to and running pipes, conduits and ducts through the Premises and for showing the Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers and lenders, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for damage or inconvenience caused by any of the above.

(d)           Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written notice (the “ Recapture Notice ”) to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice, to recapture the space described in Tenant’s Notice (the “ Recapture Space ”).  The Recapture Notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Recapture Space as of the date stated in Tenant’s Notice for the commencement of the proposed

 

33



 

assignment or sublease as fully and completely as if that date had been herein definitively fixed as the Expiration Date, and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Recapture Space as of such date.  Thereafter, the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably adjusted based upon the square footage of the Premises then remaining, after deducting the square footage attributable to the Recapture Space.  In the event Landlord elects to exercise its recapture right and the Recapture Space is less than the entire Premises, then Landlord, at its sole expense, shall have the right to make any alterations to the Premises required, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to make such Recapture Space a self-contained rental unit.  Landlord agrees to perform all such work, if any, with as little inconvenience to Tenant’s business as is reasonably possible; provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to perform such work after normal business hours or on weekends; and provided further, Landlord shall not be deemed guilty of an eviction, partial eviction, constructive eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises, and shall not be liable to Tenant for same.

(iii)          the term of the sublease shall not extend beyond a date which is one day prior to the Termination Date;

 

(iv)          no subtenant shall be permitted to further sublet all or any portion of the subleased space or to assign its sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent; not to be unreasonably withheld; and

 

(v)           the subtenant shall waive the provisions of any law now or subsequently in effect which may give the subtenant any right of election to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession of the space subleased in the event that any proceeding is brought by Landlord to terminate this Lease.

 

(f)            Each of the following events shall be deemed to constitute an assignment of this Lease and each shall require the prior written consent of Landlord:

 

(i)            any assignment or transfer of this Lease by operation of law; or

 

(ii)           any hypothecation, pledge, or collateral assignment of this Lease; or

 

34

(i)            Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals required by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency in connection with any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of the Premises, and Tenant shall deliver copies of these documents to Landlord prior to the commencement of any work, if work is to be done.  Tenant is also responsible for and is required to reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand for all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and architects’, accountants’, engineers’, or other consultants’ fees, which Landlord incurs in reviewing any proposed assignment of this Lease, any proposed sublease of the Premises, and any permits, approvals, and applications for construction within the Premises.

 

(j)            Tenant agrees that under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable in damages or subject to liability by reason of Landlord’s failure or refusal to grant its consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises, and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be limited to injunctive relief or a declaratory judgment.  If

(k)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, provided no Event of Default exists at the time Tenant gives Landlord the RSE Notice (as hereafter defined) Tenant, without Landlord’s prior consent, but upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior notice to Landlord (the “ RSE Notice ”), may (i) assign this Lease to, or sublet all or part of the Premises to, or permit a portion of the Premises to be occupied by, any corporation or other business entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant and also including any other entity which acquires all or substantially all of the business operation of Tenant being conducted at the Premises or any other entity which forms a joint venture or other business arrangement with Tenant to acquire all or substantially all of a business operation of Tenant being conducted within the Premises ( a “ Related Entity ”)  and (ii) assign this Lease and the leasehold estate hereby created to a successor entity of Tenant (a “ Successor Entity ”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is unable to provide a RSE Notice prior to the sublease or assignment due to applicable Laws or contractual restrictions, Tenant may consummate such transaction without sending a RSE Notice and Tenant will send written notice of such transaction to Landlord promptly following the consummation thereof.  A Successor Entity, as used in this Lease, shall mean (x) a corporation or other business entity into which or with which Tenant, its successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for the merger or consolidation of corporations, provided that by operation of law or by effective provisions contained in the instruments of merger or consolidation, the liabilities of the corporations or other business entities participating in such merger or consolidation are assumed by the corporation or other business entity surviving such merger or consolidation, or (y) a corporation or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or outstanding shares of stock of Tenant, its corporate successors or assigns, including the leasehold estate created by this Lease, and assuming the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, or (z) any corporate successor or other business entity successor to a successor entity becoming such by either of the methods described in subdivisions (x) and (y) above; provided that (1) such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition and assumption, as the case may be, is not principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby, and (2) immediately after giving effect to any such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition and assumption, as the case may be, the successor corporation surviving such merger or created by such consolidation or acquiring such assets and assuming such liabilities as the case may be, shall have a net worth, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately preceding such merger, consolidation or acquisition.  Any assignment, subletting or occupancy by a Related Entity of Tenant or a Successor Entity of Tenant shall not be deemed to relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.  For

 

36



 

the purposes hereof, “control” shall be deemed to mean possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation or other business entity, through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

EXHIBIT “M”

 

WORK LETTER

 

This Exhibit “M” is attached to and made a part of that certain Lease Agreement dated  June   , 2016 (the “Lease”), between CIP II/AR BRIDGEWATER HOLDINGS LLC (“Landlord”) and INSMED INCORPORATED (“Tenant”).  The terms used in this Exhibit that are defined in the Lease shall have the same meanings as provided in the Lease.

 

The purpose of this Exhibit “M” is to set forth the relative rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the preparation and approval of working drawings, final plans and the construction and installation of the initial tenant improvements in the Premises (the “Initial Tenant Improvements”).  This Exhibit “M” contemplates that the performance of this work will proceed in accordance with the following terms and conditions.

 

A.                                     Final Plans

 

(1)                                  The plans for the Initial Tenant Improvements are attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the “Final Plans”).

 

(2)                                  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date,  Landlord shall submit the Final Plans to at least three (3) subcontractors for the following primary trades, mechanical, plumbing, flooring, painting, ventilation, and carpentry in connection with the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, who shall be requested to submit a fixed price contract bid on a straight time basis.  Due to the vague nature in the scope of the electrical work, which cost is not anticipated to exceed $10,000, Landlord will not bid that work to 3 contractors.  The following “other” work, due to the anticipated low cost will not be bid to 3 contractors:  (i) Refinishing of the stainless steel walk in box door;  (ii) Laborers to remove furniture;  (iii) Moving company to remove the glass washing machine;  (iv) Stripping and Waxing of the VCT flooring; (v) Chemical hood commissioning;  and (vi) Final cleaning.  On or before the date the Lease is executed and delivered by both parties, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a list of subcontractors which Tenant desires to obtain bids from, which subcontractors shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.  Landlord and Tenant shall monitor the bidding process and jointly review the bids and shall adjust the bids based upon any inconsistent assumptions to reflect an “apple to apples” comparison.  Within ten (10) Business Days following the joint review and adjustment of the bids, Landlord shall pick the subcontractors to perform the Initial Tenant Improvements Work with Tenant’s involvement and Tenant shall approve the budget for Initial Tenant Improvements. Landlord may, at its election, designate a list of approved contractors and subcontractors for the performance of those portions of the Landlord’s Base Building Work involving electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, life safety or other

 

97



 

Building systems, from which list the contractors or subcontractors, as the case may be, must be selected.

 

B.                                     Tenant Improvements

 

(1)                                  As soon as reasonably practicable after selection of the contractors and subcontractors to perform the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, and Landlord’s contractor’s receipt of all required permits and approvals for the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, Landlord’s contractor shall construct the installations and improvements and complete the Initial Tenant Improvements Work in accordance with the approved Final Plans, (excluding the Initial Tenant Installations as hereinafter defined).  In connection with the performance of Initial Tenant Improvements Work, Landlord shall be responsible for the Cost of the Initial Tenant Improvements Work as defined in paragraph 2(a) below up to $66,370.00 (representing $5.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises the “Construction Credit”).  The Cost of the Initial Tenant Improvements Work in excess of the Construction Credit shall be referred to as an “Additional Cost” and paid by Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 2(c).

 

(2)                                  (a)                                  The term “Cost of the Initial Tenant Improvements Work as used in this Lease shall mean all costs of demolition and constructing the Initial Tenant Improvements Work pursuant to the Final Plans, including, without limitation, materials, labor, subcontract costs and general conditions (excluding all soft costs, including, without limitation, legal fees, moving expenses, telephone and data systems and expenses, security systems, and all furniture, fixtures and equipment) and a construction supervision fee payable to Landlord in the amount of three percent (3%) of the total Cost of the Initial Tenant Improvements.

 

(b)                                  Any changes requested by Tenant from the work indicated on the Final Plans shall be performed by Landlord pursuant to a change order approved and executed by Landlord and Tenant.  All changes to the Final Plans requested by Tenant must be approved by Landlord in advance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Landlord shall respond to changes to the Final Plans within ten (10) Business Days.  All increases in the cost of the Initial Tenant Improvements Work resulting from such change orders shall be borne by Tenant, subject to payment as part of the Construction Credit.

 

(c)                                   Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) fifty percent (50%) of the total of any Additional Cost incurred by Landlord in connection with the Initial Tenant Improvements Work within ten (10) days after Tenant approves the budget for Landlord’s Work, and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the total of any Additional Cost incurred by Landlord in connection with the Initial Tenant Improvements Work within ten (10) days after the day the Initial Tenant Improvements Work is Substantially Completed.

 

(3)                                  The Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, excluding any Initial Tenant Installations, constitutes all of the

 

98



 

improvements to be Substantially Completed by Landlord in order to prepare the Premises for occupancy by Tenant.

 

C.                                     Tenant Installations

 

(1)                                  Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall perform all work related to installation of furniture, moveable furnishings, telephone systems (including, without limitation, voice and data cabling and telecommunications equipment) and office equipment (the “Tenant Installations” ), subject to the provisions of Paragraph C(2) below, commencing fourteen (14) days prior to the date Landlord anticipates Substantially Completing the Initial Tenant Improvements Work.  All Tenant Installations which adversely affect the structure of the Building, require any permit from a governmental authority, involve electrical work or adversely affect the Building systems shall require the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  All Tenant Installations shall be performed in accordance with Section 22 of the Lease and accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Premises or the Building or the plumbing, electrical line or other utilities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord’s Contractor shall coordinate the performance of the Initial Tenant Improvements Work and the Tenant’s performance of the Tenant Installations in accordance with customary and prudent construction practices in order to effectuate such installations in an orderly and efficient manner, subject to the provisions of Paragraph C(2) below.

 

(2)                                  In the event that Tenant performs any Tenant Installations pursuant to this Lease, Tenant agrees promptly to notify Landlord in writing of the names of its agents, contractors or subcontractors who are to work in the Premises, and to furnish Landlord with such other information as Landlord may reasonably require.  All work done by Tenant, its agents, contractors, subcontractors or employees shall be scheduled and performed so as not to conflict, interfere with, or delay any work undertaken by Landlord in the Building or Landlord’s completion of the Initial Tenant Improvements Work.  In the event that Tenant, its agents, contractors, subcontractors or employees do not work in harmony with, or interfere with, labor employed by Landlord, its agents, contractors, subcontractors or employees or in the event any work stoppage, jurisdictional labor dispute or other interference with Landlord, its agents, contractors, subcontractors or employees occurs Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant, upon written demand, to remove or cause the removal forthwith all of Tenant’s agents, contractors and employees from the Premises and Tenant agrees to comply with such demand immediately.  Any of Tenant’s Installations shall be installed solely at Tenant’s risk.  Tenant shall be liable to Landlord in the event Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors damage the Initial Tenant Improvements Work, the Premises or the Building.

 

D.                                     Tenant Delay

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be responsible, in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph D, for all costs and

 

99



 

expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any delay on Tenant’s part, or any of Tenant’s employees or agents, which prevents Landlord from Substantially Completing the Landlord’s Base Building Work and the Initial Tenant Improvements Work by the Estimated Substantial Completion Date by reason of (a) failure of any of them to unreasonably cooperate with Landlord; (b) delays in approving drawings or specifications within the applicable time periods specified in this Work Letter; (c) any change order requested by Tenant; or (d) Tenant’s performance of any Tenant’s Installation; and/or (e) the failure to provide clarifications or additional information requested by Landlord regarding the Final Plans within a reasonable time period following Landlord’s request (each a “Tenant Delay” ).
