Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Lease Agreement for 7 Great Valley Parkway, Malvern, Pennsylvania
In anticipation of the September 30, 2013 expiration of the lease for its current corporate headquarters in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, NuPathe Inc. (the Company) entered into a Lease Agreement with Liberty Property Limited Partnership (Landlord) on September 18, 2013 (the New Lease), pursuant to which the Company will lease office and lab space at 7 Great Valley Parkway, Suite 300, Malvern, Pennsylvania (the Facility). The Facility will serve as the Companys new corporate headquarters. The Company expects to move into the Facility on September 30, 2013. The Facility will initially consist of approximately 13,260 rentable square feet.
The New Lease will commence on September 30, 2013 and has an initial term of 132 months (the Term). Subject to payment of a $2,500 termination fee, the Company may elect to terminate the New Lease effective as of September 30, 2014 if the Company does not enter into a commercial partnership for Zecuity and raise at least $50 million by April 30, 2014 (the New Drug Early Termination Option). The Company may also terminate the New Lease effective as of the end of the 96th full month of the Term by paying a termination fee equal to the Landlords unamortized lease transaction costs plus a fee equal to three months of rent and operating expenses at the then current rates on the terms specified in the New Lease.
In the event the Company does not terminate the New Lease pursuant to the New Drug Early Termination Option, the Landlord will perform the facility improvements specified in the New Lease and the premises occupied by the Company will be increased to 21,266 rentable square feet.
Upon commencement of the New Lease, the Company shall be obligated to make monthly rent payments to the Landlord in the amounts set forth below:

* The Company will not be required to pay monthly rent during the first six full months following the Full Term Commencement Date (the Rent Abatement Period), subject to the Companys obligation to repay the unamortized portion of such abated rent on the terms specified in the New Lease if the New Lease (or the Companys right to possess the Facility) is terminated early due to a default by the Company.
In addition to the above rent obligations, the Company will be responsible for certain costs and charges specified in the New Lease, including certain operating expenses, utility expenses, maintenance costs, taxes and insurance relating to the Facility (estimated to be $17,969.77 per month during 2013). Upon an event of default by the Company that is material in nature, in addition to other rights and remedies, the Landlord may accelerate all or any part of the rent and other amounts payable by the Company through the balance of the Term, and declare such amounts to be immediately due and payable.
Pursuant to the terms of the New Lease, the Company was required to provide a security deposit in the amount of $35,097.27 (the Security Deposit) to secure the Companys performance of its obligations under the New Lease. The amount of the security deposit will be increased to $500,000 upon the Full Term Commencement Date. The amount of the security deposit will be reduced to $325,000 on the first day of the 91th full month of the Term and to $150,000 on the first day of the 115th full month of the Term, in each case, if no event of default by the Company is continuing under the New Lease.
