Lease Commitments In May 2019, the Company entered into a fifth amendment of the existing lease to expand the rented space from approximately 76,000 square feet to approximately 108,000 square feet at 41 Seyon Street, Waltham, Massachusetts, the Company’s corporate headquarters and primary location for all manufacturing, research and development, sales and marketing and administrative operations. The Company expects to be completely moved into the new space by the third quarter of 2020. Under the terms of the fifth amendment lease, the initial fixed rental rate is $29.00 per square foot, per annum, of the additional square footage (approximately 32,000 square feet) and will increase at a rate of $1.00 per annum. Licensing and Research Agreements The Company licenses certain technologies that are, or may be, incorporated into its technology under several agreements and also has entered into several clinical research agreements which require the Company to fund certain research projects. Generally, the license agreements require the Company to pay annual maintenance fees and royalties on product sales once a product has been established using the technologies. Research and development expenses associated with license agreements were immaterial amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. In September 2018, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Sartorius Stedim Biotech, a leading international supplier for the biopharmaceutical industry, to integrate XCell ™ ATF cell retention control technology into Sartorius’s BIOSTAT ® STR large-scale, single-use bioreactors to create novel perfusion-enabled bioreactors. As a result of this collaboration, end-users will stand to benefit from a single control system for 50L to 2,000L bioreactors used in perfusion cell culture applications. The single interface is designed to control cell growth, fluid management and cell retention in continuous and intensified bioprocessing and, ultimately, simplify the development and manufacture of biotechnological drugs under current good manufacturing practices. In June 2018, we secured an agreement with Navigo for the exclusive co-development of multiple affinity ligands for which Repligen holds commercialization rights. We are manufacturing and have agreed to supply the first of these ligands, NGL-Impact ™ A, exclusively to Purolite Life Sciences (“Purolite”), who will pair our high-performance ligand with Purolite’s agarose jetting base bead technology used in their Jetted A50 Protein A resin product. We also signed a long-term supply agreement with Purolite for NGL-Impact A and other potential additional affinity ligands that may advance from our Navigo collaboration. The Navigo and Purolite agreements are supportive of our strategy to secure and reinforce our proteins business. We made payments to Navigo of $2.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 in connection with this program, which were recorded to research and development expenses in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
