Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 3, 2013, Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) and TR Stone Manor Corp. (“Landlord”), entered into a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement (“Amendment”) with respect to the Lease Agreement and Addendum to Lease Agreement dated May 26, 2004 as amended by the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to Lease Agreement dated April 12, 2007 (collectively, the “Lease”).  The Lease relates to the Company’s headquarters located at Stone Manor Corporate Center, 2600 Kelly Road, Warrington, PA 18976.
 
Under the terms of the Amendment: (i) the term of the Lease was extended by five years to February 2018; (ii) specified reductions to the base rent specified in the Amendment were made effective commencing as of October 1, 2012; (iii) effective October 1, 2012, the base year for the Operating Expenses (as defined in the Lease) shall be changed to 2013; (iv) commencing on January 1, 2014 and continuing thereafter during the lease term, in connection with determining the amount of the Company’s proportionate share of Operating Expenses, the Operating Expenses shall not be deemed to have increased in any year by more than four percent of actual Operating Expenses (with certain exclusions) for the immediately preceding year, on a cumulative basis; (v) the Landlord agreed to a reduction, over a two year period beginning in 2013, in the Company’s security deposit held by Landlord from $400,000 to $225,000 and in connection therewith, the Company agreed to arrange for the expiration date of the related Letter of Credit to be extended to April 28, 2018; (vi) the Company’s obligation to remove certain improvements (other than moveable equipment, trade fixtures or furniture) and restore the premises has been removed; (vii) Landlord agreed to repaint and recarpet those portions of the facility designated by the Company and to contribute up to $50,000 to additional tenant work initiated by the Company; and (viii) the Company’s option to extend the Lease was adjusted to an additional period of five years through February 2023. The total aggregate base rental payments under the Lease prior to the extension were approximately $7.2 million and the total aggregate base rental payments under the extended portion of the Lease are approximately $4.9 million.
 
The foregoing description of the Lease and the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease and the Amendment.  A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the Lease is filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Company’s report on Form 8-K dated April 6, 2007.  The Lease and the 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 Second 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 should not 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, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s reports or other filings with the SEC.
