On May 2, 2017, Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Second Lease Amendment to the Lease (the “Second Lease Amendment”) with Rivertech Associates II, LLC, relating to the lease of approximately 15,000 rentable square feet of office and laboratory space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Second Lease Amendment amends the Indenture of Lease between the Company and Rivertech Associates II, LLC, dated March 11, 2014, and the First Lease Amendment to the Lease dated as of October 22, 2014 (the “Lease”).
Under the Second Lease Amendment, the term of the Lease is extended for an additional two years, commencing on February 1, 2018. The Company will pay annual rent of $64.00 per rentable square foot for the first year and $66.00 per rentable square foot for the second year. The Company is also responsible for its pro rata share of real estate taxes, operating expenses and utilities. Upon certain terms and conditions set forth in the Second Lease Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the Lease for one additional five year period.
Except as specifically amended by the Second Lease Amendment, the Lease remains in full force and effect.
