On May 27, 2016, Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) and PH Stone Manor LP (“New Landlord”) made effective a Fourth Amendment to Lease Agreement (“Fourth Amendment”) to that certain Office Lease Agreement and Addendum to Office Lease Agreement, each dated May 26, 2004, between the Company (as “Tenant” thereunder) and Stone Manor Corporate Center, L.P., as amended by a First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated April 12, 2007, between the Company and TR Stone Manor Corp. (“Previous Landlord”), as further amended by a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement (“Second Amendment”) dated January 3, 2013 between the Company and Previous Landlord and, and a Third Amendment to Lease Agreement dated November 24, 2014 between the Company and Previous Landlord (collectively, the “Lease”). New Landlord is the successor in interest under the Lease to Previous Landlord of the Company’s headquarters building located at Stone Manor Corporate Center, 2600 Kelly Road, Warrington, PA 18976 (the “Property”). The Fourth Amendment was executed on April 29, 2016 and deposited into escrow pending completion of the sale of the Property by Previous Landlord to New Landlord. The sale of the Property was completed on May 27, 2016 and the Fourth Amendment was released from escrow and made effective on May 27, 2016. A copy of the Fourth Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.

Under the terms of the Amendment:

(i) the Company will surrender a portion of the leased space totaling 9,088 rentable square feet. As a result, the leased space will be reduced by approximately 25%, from 39,594 rentable square feet to 30,506 rentable square feet and the Company’s proportionate share of the building expense will be reduced proportionately, as described in the Fourth Amendment;

(ii) the term of the lease is extended by four years from February 28, 2018 to February 28, 2022;

(iii) the base rent is adjusted as follows:

Year	Rent Rate Pre-Amendment		Net Rent Rate Post- Amendment*
6/1/16-9/30/16		$ 23.00	$	20.88
10/1/16-9/30/17		$ 23.50	$	20.88
10/1/16-9/30/18	(through 2/28/18) $24.00		$	25.00
10/1/16-9/30/19		–	$	25.25
10/1/16-9/30/20		–	$	26.00
10/1/16-9/30/21		–	$	26.00
10/1/16-2/28/22		–	$	26.25

*net of a landlord credit of $10,486 per month, totaling $167,783, for the period June 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017

As a result of the foregoing, the Company will realize a reduction in net base rental payments of approximately $312,000 for the period June 1, 2016 through the June 30, 2017 and an estimated reduction in utilities expense of approximately $40,000 for the same period. As of December 31, 2015, the total aggregate base rental payments under the Amendment are approximately $4.3 million;

(iv) the Company will retain certain rights with respect to its existing right of first offer and 5-year extension option provided in the Second Amendment; and

(v) the New Landlord will pay the Company $80,000 to defray costs of moving and other costs related to reconfiguring the remaining premises.

The foregoing description of the Lease and the Fourth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease and the Fourth Amendment. A copy of the Fourth Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the original Lease and First Amendment are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 6, 2007, and a copy of the Second Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 6, 2013, as filed with the SEC on January 8, 2013. The Lease and the Fourth Amendment have been filed in order to provide information regarding their terms and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to the Lease and the Fourth Amendment, each of the Company and the Landlord made certain representations, warranties and covenants and agreed to indemnify each other for certain losses arising out of breaches of such representations, warranties, covenants and other specified matters. The representations, warranties and covenants were made by the parties to and solely for the benefit of each other and any expressly intended third party beneficiaries in the context of all of the terms and conditions of the agreements and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to rely on the representations, warranties and covenants. Furthermore, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or continuing intentions of the parties, since they were only made as of the date of the agreements. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the agreements.

WHEREAS , Discovery Laboratories, Inc. is now known as Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. and is the Tenant.

WHEREAS , Landlord and the Existing Landlord have entered into a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Landlord is purchasing the Building and all related improvements from the Existing Landlord and the Existing Landlord is assigning, inter alia , the Lease to Landlord.

WHEREAS , Landlord and Tenant desire to amend certain provisions of the Lease, as more particularly set forth in this Fourth Amendment which shall take effect upon, but not unless or until, the “Effective Date” as defined below.

1. Recitals Incorporated. The recitals set forth are hereby incorporated by this reference and shall be deemed terms and provisions hereof with the same force and effect as if fully set forth in this Section 1.

2. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined herein shall be deemed to have the same meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Lease. All references herein to “lease” shall be deemed to be references to the Lease, as amended hereby.

3. Surrender of Space.

6. Expiration Date. The Lease is hereby modified and amended to make the expiration date of the Lease February 28, 2022 (the “Revised Expiration Date”). The Revised Expiration Date shall be deemed to replace the defined term “New Expiration Date” for all purposes under the Lease.

10. First Floor Storage. Tenant shall have the right to continue to use the existing document storage room (the “Storage Room”) more clearly identified on Exhibit D attached hereto until such time as Landlord gives written notice to Tenant that it requires the Storage Room for a new tenant. Such notice shall specify the date (which shall be not less than thirty (30) days from the date of Landlord’s notice) on which Tenant must surrender the Storage Room to Landlord in vacant and broom clean condition.

11. Signage. In the event that Landlord renovates the lobby space on the first floor, Tenant shall have the right to design and install signage in the first floor atrium to direct visitors to Tenant’s space on the second floor.

Tenant shall at all times keep and maintain all signs in good condition, proper operating order and in compliance with all applicable government regulations.

Tenant shall have the right to use the kitchen, conference room and fitness facility totaling 3,670 rentable square feet located in the Surrendered Space (the “Ancillary Space”) on a month to month basis at a rent of $.25 per rentable square foot which equals $917.50 plus electric. The month-to-month lease for the Ancillary Space shall automatically renew each month unless terminated by either Landlord or Tenant on not less than fifteen (15) days written notice to the other party.

Landlord shall pay a brokerage commission to the Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement. In no event shall Landlord’s lender have any obligation to any broker involved in this transaction.

22. Entire Agreement. This Fourth Amendment and the Lease contain the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to Tenant’s leasing of the Premises. Except for the Lease and this Fourth Amendment, no Existing agreements or understandings with respect to the Premises shall be valid or of any force or effect.

23. Severability. If any provision of this Fourth Amendment or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is or shall be deemed illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and this Fourth Amendment shall be interpreted as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision did not exist herein.

25. Successors and Assigns. This Fourth Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
