Pursuant to the Sublease, Aldeyra will assume the rights and obligations of Planck under a certain written lease agreement dated June 3, 2014 (the “Master Lease”), whereby Planck leased the Premises from WLC Three VI, L.L.C.

The Sublease provides for the payment of annual base rent in the amount of $66,948.00, payable in monthly installments of $5,579.00. In addition to the base rent, Aldeyra is required to pay Planck certain operating expenses, taxes and other fees in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease.
