Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Lease Amendment
On October 10, 2017, Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (the Company) and CCC Investors LLC (the Landlord) entered into an amendment (the Second Amendment) to a lease agreement for the Companys laboratory and manufacturing space located at 34 Crosby Drive (the 34 Crosby Premises) and 36 Crosby Drive (the 36 Crosby Premises), each in Bedford, Massachusetts. The Second Amendment amends the original lease agreement, by and between the Company and CCC Investors LLC, as successor-in-interest to RAR2-Crosby Corporate Center QRS, Inc., dated as of September 2, 2009 (as amended to date, the Lease).
The Second Amendment extends the term of the Lease for the 36 Crosby Premises from June 30, 2018 (the Former Termination Date) to July 31, 2023 (the New Termination Date). Further, the Second Amendment acknowledges that the Company has previously vacated and surrendered, and the Lease has expired with regards to, the 34 Crosby Premises, reducing the total laboratory and manufacturing space subject to the Lease to 20,445 square feet. Accordingly, the Second Amendment reduces the Companys required security deposit under the Lease from approximately $227,539 to approximately $113,769. Under the Second Amendment, the annual base rent for the 36 Crosby Premises shall be approximately $524,329 until the Former Termination Date, shall be $0 from July 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018, and shall be approximately $544,041 from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019. The annual base rent shall increase annually thereafter.
The Second Amendment also provides the Company a one-time option to terminate the Lease on July 31, 2021, upon the Companys delivery to the Landlord on or before July 31, 2020 of a termination notice and the payment to the Landlord of a termination fee of approximately $273,474.
The foregoing description of certain terms of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
