1. Nature of Business and Operations

Nature of Business and Operations

Summit Therapeutics Inc. (“we”, “Summit” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of patient-, physician-, caregiver- and societal-friendly medicinal therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase potential duration of life, and resolve serious unmet medical needs.

The Company’s current lead development candidate is ivonescimab, a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF compound into a single molecule. On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (“Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company has in-licensed ivonescimab as further described in Note 7. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan (the “Licensed Territory”). The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods. The Company’s operations will be focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities, as the Company determines.

The Company has begun its development for ivonescimab in non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), specifically launching Phase III clinical trials in the following indications:

a) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”)-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have progressed after treatment with a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (“TKI”) (“HARMONi”); and

b) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in first-line metastatic squamous NSCLC patients (“HARMONi-3”)

As of the date of these financial statements, both studies are enrolling patients.

The entry into the License Agreement with Akeso represents a significant change in the Company’s strategy and its future operations will be focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities as the Company determines. The Company’s portfolio also includes ridinilazole, a product candidate for treating patients suffering from Clostridioides difficile infection, also known as C. difficile infection, or CDI, and SMT-738, the first of a novel class of precision antibiotics for combating multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (“CRE”) infections. All prior development activities related to ridinilazole and SMT-738 have been terminated; the Company will continue to pursue partnerships for both assets.


2. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial data as of March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the consolidated audited financial statement as of that date. The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of full year results or any other interim period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2024. The financial results of the Company's activities are reported in United States Dollars
Our accounting policies are consistent with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as updated below:

Summit Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of non-interest-bearing deposits denominated in the U.S. dollar and British pound, and the Company invested cash in money market funds and U.S. treasury securities. All highly liquid investments with a maturity date of 90 days or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. The appropriate classification of investments in securities as to whether it is classified as a cash equivalent is determined by the Company at the time of purchase.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments with original maturities greater than ninety days from the date of acquisition. The Company classifies investments with maturities of greater than 90 days as short-term, based on the liquid nature of the securities and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. The Company considers its investment portfolio of investments as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these investments are recorded at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices or other observable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other (expense) income. Amortization and accretion of discounts and premiums is also recorded in other (expense) income.

When the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset, an estimate of expected credit losses is made, this estimate is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than amortized cost. The credit-related impairment amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the remaining impairment amount and unrealized gains are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Credit losses are recognized through the use of an allowance for credit losses account and subsequent improvements in expected credit losses are recognized as a reversal of the allowance account. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis the allowance for credit loss is written off and the excess of the amortized cost basis of the asset over its fair value is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss..

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, goodwill, other long-lived assets and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Summary of Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are consistent with those discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the adoption of recently issued standards have or may have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $43,473 and cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $30,134. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,036,731, cash and cash equivalents of $61,294, short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities of $95,386 and current and long-term U.K. research and development tax credits receivable of $1,157. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.

The Company has evaluated whether its cash, cash equivalents and U.K. research and development tax credits provide sufficient cash to fund its operating cash needs for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these quarterly financials. The Company is investing in the clinical development of ivonescimab, including its ongoing clinical trials. In addition, the Company has a $100,000 promissory note and interest payable to a related party (refer to Note 14 for further details) that matures on April 1, 2025. In order to repay this promissory note, the Company intends to raise additional capital. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, additional capital has not yet been secured. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Until the Company can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, the Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its ongoing operations and capital needs. The Company continues to evaluate options to further finance its operating cash needs for its product candidates through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. There is no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available when needed or that management of the Company will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain funding when required in the future, the Company could be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of the business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


5. Segment Reporting

The Company's chief operating decision makers (the "CODM function"), which are the Company's CEOs, Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh, utilize consolidated financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The CODM function approves of key operating and strategic decisions, including key decisions in clinical development and clinical operating activities, entering into significant contracts, such as revenue contracts and collaboration agreements and approves the Company's consolidated operating budget. The CODM function views the Company's operations and manages its business as a single reportable operating segment. The Company's single operating segment covers the Company’s research and development activities, primarily comprising of oncology product research activities (including ivonescimab). As the Company operates as one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company operates in two geographic regions: the U.K. and the U.S. The following table summarizes the Company's long-lived assets, which include the Company's property and equipment, net and right-of-use assets by geography:
March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
United Kingdom $ 742  $ 808 
United States(1)
8,812  5,254 
$ 9,554  $ 6,062 

(1) The increase in long-lived assets as of March 31, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023, is primarily due to $4,106 of net right-of use assets recorded as a result of the Company entering into a new lease agreement for their Miami, FL headquarters, partially offset by $534 of amortization expense for right-of-use assets relating to lease agreements for its office space in Menlo Park, CA.

6. Other Operating Income, net

The following table sets forth the components of other operating income, net by category:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
Other operating income, net by category:
2024 2023
Research and development tax credits 213  542 
Grant income from CARB-X (as defined below) —  34 
Other income — 
$ 213  $ 584 

Research and development tax credits

Income from tax credits, consist of R&D tax credits received in the U.K. The Company benefits from the Small and Medium Enterprise Program ("SME Program") U.K. research and development tax credit cash rebate regime, and The Research and Development Expenditure Credit ("The RDEC scheme"), a UK government tax incentive that promotes innovation amongst UK's larger businesses. Qualifying expenditures largely comprise of employment costs for research staff, consumables, a proportion of relevant, permitted sub-contract costs and certain internal overhead costs incurred as part of research projects for which the Company does not receive income. Tax credits related to the SME Program and The RDEC scheme are recorded as other operating income in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Under these scheme, the Company receives cash payments that are not dependent on the Company’s pre-tax net income levels.

Based on criteria established by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs ("HMRC"), a portion of expenditures being carried out in relation to the Company's pipeline research and development, clinical trials management and third-party manufacturing development activities are eligible for the SME regime and the Company expects such elements of research and development expenditure incurred in its UK entities will also continue to be eligible for the SME regime for future periods.
As of March 31, 2024, the current and non-current research and development tax credit receivable was $945 and $212, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the current and non-current research and development tax credit receivable was $848 and $959, respectively.

CARB-X (as defined below)

In May 2021, the Company announced the selection of a new preclinical candidate, SMT-738, from the DDS-04 series for development in the fight against multi-drug resistant infections, specifically Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ("CRE") infections. Simultaneously, the Company announced it had received an award from the Trustees of Boston University under the Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator program ("CARB-X") to progress this candidate through preclinical development and Phase Ia clinical trials. The award commits initial funding of up to $4,100, with the possibility of up to another $3,700 based on the achievement of future milestones. As of March 31, 2024, based on translation of historical foreign currency amounts in the period, the Company has recognized $2,920 of cumulative income since contract inception.

7. Akeso Collaboration and License Agreement

On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (“Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company is in-licensing its breakthrough bispecific antibody, ivonescimab. The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods.

Ivonescimab, known as AK112 in China and Australia, and also as SMT112 in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan, is a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF into a single molecule. Ivonescimab was engineered to bring two well established oncology targeted mechanisms together. Ivonescimab is currently in clinical development and, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will design and conduct the clinical trial activities to support regulatory filings in the Licensed Territory that Summit will submit.
11

Summit Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to clinical development strategy and execution in the Licensed Territory. For co-joined studies in which both Summit and Akeso participate, mutual agreement is required for material decisions; Summit retains the exclusive decision making with respect to participating in, and continuing its participation in, co-joined studies. Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision making authority with respect to commercial strategy, pricing and reimbursement and other commercialization matters in the Licensed Territory. In connection with the License Agreement, the Company has also entered into a Supply Agreement with Akeso, pursuant to which Summit agrees to purchase a certain portion of drug substance for clinical and commercial supply. Summit is not assuming any liabilities (including contingent liabilities), acquiring any physical assets or trade names, or hiring or acquiring any employees from Akeso in connection with the License Agreement. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan (the “Licensee Territory”).

In exchange for the rights obtained, an upfront payment of $500,000 was made to Akeso, of which $274,900 was paid in cash and, pursuant to the License Agreement and Issuance Agreement, Akeso elected to receive 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of $25,100 cash. The remaining $200,000 amount of the upfront payment was paid on March 6, 2023.

The Company has accounted for the License Agreement to acquire the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab as the acquisition of an asset. All of the consideration relates to ivonescimab and technological feasibility of the asset has not yet been established since ivonescimab is in clinical development. As such, the Company has expensed the consideration as in-process research and development upon closing of the transaction in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. In-process research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $520,915, which is comprised of the $474,900 paid in cash, the fair value of the 10,000,000 shares of common stock on the date of closing the transaction of $45,900, and $115 of direct transactions costs incurred.

In addition to the payments already made to Akeso, under the License Agreement, there are additional potential milestone payments of up to $4,500,000, as Akeso will be eligible to receive regulatory milestones of up to $1,050,000 and commercial milestones of up to $3,450,000. In addition, Akeso will be eligible to receive low double-digit royalties on net sales.


8. Other Expense, net

The following table sets forth the components of other (expense) income:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2024 2023
Foreign currency gains
$ 208  $ 508 
Interest expense on promissory notes payable to related parties (3,121) (8,327)
Investment income
1,829  1,761 
Reclassification of cumulative currency translation gain(1)
—  419 
Other expense, net
—  417 
$ (1,084) $ (5,222)

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company dissolved certain dormant entities and as a result, $419 of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments were re-classified from accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to these entities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other expense, net primarily consisted of loan interest expense incurred related to the $100,000 promissory note and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, other expense, net primarily consisted of loan interest expense incurred related to the $520,000 promissory notes, as described in Note 14. These amounts for both periods are partially offset by investment income related to the Company's money market funds and short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities.

9. Net Loss per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

Three Months Ended
March 31,
2024 2023
Net loss $ (43,473) $ (542,376)
Basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding 701,785,250  378,163,980 
Diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding 701,785,250  378,163,980 
Basic net loss per share $ (0.06) $ (1.43)
Diluted net loss per share $ (0.06) $ (1.43)

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the diluted net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potentially dilutive common shares. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share for all periods, as the inclusion of all potential common share equivalents outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share of common stock for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:
March 31,
2024 2023
Options to purchase common stock 54,851,855 20,179,822
Warrants 5,015,642 5,821,137
Shares expected to be purchased under employee stock purchase plan 127,978  206,772 
59,995,475 26,207,731

Stock options that are outstanding and contain performance-based or market-based vesting criteria for which the performance or market conditions have not been met are excluded from the presentation of common stock equivalents outstanding in the chart above

10. Fair Value Measurements and Short-Term Investments

In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based on the exit price model.

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

13

Summit Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Level 2

Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments or securities or derivative contracts that are valued using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the Company categorizes such assets and liabilities based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset.

The following tables sets forth the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

11. Goodwill

Goodwill

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, goodwill was $1,875 and $1,893, respectively. Changes in the gross carrying amount of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023, are the result of changes in foreign currency. As of December 31, 2023, the Company performed its annual impairment assessment of goodwill and determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. There have been no cumulative goodwill impairments recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

12. Leases

The Company has operating leases for real estate. The Company does not have any finance leases.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $4,216 of additional right-of-use assets related to a new lease for office space that commenced during the period for its Miami, Florida headquarter location. Total future lease payments as of March 31, 2024, which include base rent and sales tax are approximately $4,814 on an undiscounted basis. This lease commenced on February 1, 2024 and has a term of 64 months. As of March 31, 2024 the Company has $317 of restricted cash associated with an irrevocable letter of credit required by the landlord to enter into this lease. There were no new right-of-use assets recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2023. The carrying value of the right-of-use assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $9,373 and $5,859, respectively.

13. Research and Development Prepaid Expenses and Accrued Liabilities

Included within prepaid expenses and other current assets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $4,351 and $1,466, respectively, of prepayments relating to research and development expenditures. Included within accrued liabilities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $6,074 and $7,289, respectively, relating to research and development expenditures.

These amounts are determined based on the estimated costs to complete each study or activity, the estimation of the current stage of completion and the invoices received, as well as predetermined milestones which are not reflective of the current stage of development for prepaid expenses. However, prepaid expenses decrease and accrued liabilities increase as the activities progress, and if actual costs incurred exceed the prepaid expense, an accrual will be recorded for the liability.

14. Promissory Note Payable to Related Parties

Non-current promissory note payable to related parties was $100,000 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

December 2022 Promissory Note

On December 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), with Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to each of Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $520,000. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh unsecured promissory notes in the amount of $400,000 (the "Duggan February Note") and $20,000 (the "Zanganeh Note"), respectively, which would mature and become due on February 15, 2023 and an unsecured promissory note to Mr. Duggan in the amount of $100,000 (the “Duggan September Note” and together with the Duggan February Note and the Zanganeh Note, the “December 2022 Notes”), which was originally due on September 15, 2023. The maturity dates of the December 2022 Notes could be extended one or more times at the Company’s election, but in no event to a date later than September 6, 2024. In addition, if the Company consummates a public offering, then upon the later to occur of (i) five business days after the Company receives the net cash proceeds therefrom or (ii) May 15, 2023, the Duggan February Note and the Zanganeh Note shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the amount of the net proceeds of such offering and (b) the outstanding principal amount on such Notes.

On January 19, 2023, the Company provided notice to extend the term of the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note to a maturity date of September 6, 2024. Furthermore, on January 19, 2023, the Company and Mr. Duggan rectified the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note in order to correctly reflect the parties’ intent that the Company may only prepay (i) the Duggan February Note following the completion of a public rights offering to be conducted by Summit in the approximate amount of $500,000, or a similar capital raise, in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the net proceeds of the Rights Offering or such capital raise or (y) the full amount outstanding of the Duggan February Note, and (ii) Duggan September Note following the completion of a capital raising transaction subsequent to the 2023 Rights Offering in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the net proceeds of such capital raise or (B) the full amount outstanding of the Duggan September Note. Following the issuance of the two new Promissory Notes (the “Duggan Promissory Notes”), the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note were marked as “cancelled” on their face and replaced in their entirety by the Duggan Promissory Notes (together with the Zanganeh Note, the "Notes").

On February 15, 2023, the $20,000 Zanganeh Note matured and the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance. In connection with the closing of the 2023 Rights Offering, the $400,000 Duggan Promissory Note matured and became due, and the Company satisfied all principal and accrued interest thereunder using a combination of a portion of the cash proceeds from the 2023 Rights Offering and the extinguishment of a portion of the amount due equal to the subscription price for shares subscribed by Mr. Duggan in the 2023 Rights Offering.

The Notes accrued interest at an initial rate of 7.5%. All interest on the Notes was paid on the date of signing for the period through February 15, 2023. Such prepaid interest was paid in a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”) equal to the dollar amount of such prepaid interest, divided by $0.7913 (the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, plus $0.01), which was 9,720,291 shares. For all applicable periods following February 15, 2023, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes at the US prime interest rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, plus 50 basis points, as adjusted monthly, for three months immediately following February 15, 2023, and thereafter at the US prime rate plus 300 basis points, as adjusted monthly. Such accrued interest shall be paid in cash, quarterly in arrears, on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

Debt issuance costs associated with the Notes were $44 and were capitalized as part of the carrying value of the promissory notes payable to related parties.

On February 17, 2024, the Duggan February Note was amended and restated to extend the maturity date from September 6, 2024 to April 1, 2025. For all applicable periods commencing February 17, 2024, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance at the greater of 12% or the US prime interest rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 350 basis points, as adjusted monthly, compounded quarterly. Interest shall be paid upon maturity of the loan.

The debt discount is amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate of the Duggan February Note and Zanganeh Note was 8.9% and the effective interest rate of the Duggan September Note is 12.4%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred interest expense of $3,121 and $8,327, respectively. Interest expense incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 included amortized imputed interest of $761.

Company Overview

Summit Therapeutics Inc. (“we”, “Summit” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of patient-, physician-, caregiver- and societal-friendly medicinal therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase potential duration of life, and resolve serious unmet medical needs. The Company’s pipeline of product candidates is designed with the goal to become the patient-friendly, new-era standard-of-care medicines, in the therapeutic area of oncology.

The Company’s current lead development candidate is ivonescimab, a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF compound into a single molecule. On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (“Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company has in-licensed ivonescimab. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan (the “Licensed Territory”). The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods. The Company’s operations will be focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities, as the Company determines.

The Company has begun its development for ivonescimab in non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), specifically launching Phase III clinical trials in the following indications:

a) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”)-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have progressed after treatment with a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (“TKI”) (“HARMONi”); and

b) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in first-line metastatic squamous NSCLC patients (“HARMONi-3”)

As of the date of this filing, both studies are enrolling patients.

The entry into the License Agreement with Akeso represents a significant change in the Company’s strategy and its future operations will be focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities as the Company determines. The Company’s portfolio also includes ridinilazole, a product candidate for treating patients suffering from Clostridioides difficile infection, also known as C. difficile infection, or CDI, and SMT-738, the first of a novel class of precision antibiotics for combating multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (“CRE”) infections. All prior development activities related to ridinilazole and SMT-738 have been terminated; the Company will continue to pursue partnerships for both assets.

Akeso Collaboration and License Agreement

Pursuant to the License Agreement with Akeso, the Company received the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the Licensed Territory. Akeso will retain development and commercialization rights for the rest of the world excluding the Licensed Territory.
21




In exchange for these rights, Summit made an upfront payment during the first quarter of 2023 comprised of $474.9 million cash and the issuance of 10 million shares of Company common stock in lieu of $25.1 million cash pursuant to a share transfer agreement. In addition, the Company will potentially owe Akeso (a) milestone payments tied to achievement of regulatory approval of ivonescimab with various regulatory authorities in the Licensed Territory (b) milestone payments tied to achievement of annual revenue from ivonescimab in the Licensed Territory and (c) Royalty payments equal to low-double-digit percentage of annual revenues from ivonescimab in the Licensed Territory.

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to clinical development strategy and execution in the Licensed Territory. For co-joined studies in which both Summit and Akeso participate, mutual agreement is required for material decisions; Summit retains the exclusive decision making with respect to participating in, and continuing its participation in, co-joined studies. In connection with the License Agreement, the Company has also agreed to enter into a Supply Agreement with Akeso (the "Supply Agreement"). Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Summit agreed to purchase a certain portion of drug substance for clinical and commercial supply. Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to commercial strategy, pricing and reimbursement and other commercialization matters in the Licensed Territory.

Summit has not assumed any liabilities (including contingent liabilities), nor acquired any physical assets or trade names, or hired or acquired any employees from Akeso in connection with the License Agreement.

Ivonescimab

Ivonescimab is a novel potential first-in-class PD-1 / VEGF bispecific antibody, believed to be the most advanced in clinical development in the Licensed Territory; there are no known PD-1 / VEGF bispecific antibodies approved in our Licensed Territory. Engineered with Akeso’s unique Tetrabody technology, ivonescimab, as a single molecule, blocks programmed cell death protein 1 (“PD-1”) from binding to PD-L1 and PD-L2, and blocks vascular endothelial growth factor (“VEGF”) from binding to VEGF receptors. Ivonescimab is designed to potentially allow cooperative binding of the intended targets, such that the binding of PD-1 increases the binding affinity of VEGF and the binding of VEGF increases the affinity towards PD-1. In view of the co-expression of VEGF and PD-1 in the tumor micro-environment (“TME”), ivonescimab may block these two pathways more effectively and enhance the antitumor activity, as compared to combination therapy through what is believed to be a differentiated cooperative binding mechanism.


22




image (1).jpg


This could differentiate ivonescimab as there is potentially higher expression (presence) of both PD-1 and VEGF in tumor tissue and the TME as compared to normal tissue in the body. As shown in Akeso’s in-vitro studies, ivonescimab’s tetravalent structure (four binding sites) enables higher avidity (accumulated strength of multiple binding interactions) in the tumor microenvironment with over 18 fold increased binding affinity to PD-1 in the presence of VEGF in vitro, and over 4 times increased binding affinity to VEGF in the presence of PD-1 in vitro. This tetravalent structure, the intentional novel design of the molecule, and bringing these two targets into a single bispecific antibody with cooperative binding qualities have the potential to direct ivonescimab to the tumor tissue versus healthy tissue. The intent of this design, together with a half-life of six to seven days, is to improve upon previously established efficacy thresholds, in addition to side effects and safety profiles associated with these targets.

In addition to the two Phase III clinical trials sponsored by the Company, ivonescimab is also being developed in China and Australia by Akeso in multiple solid tumors and has been dosed in more than 1,600 patients globally.

Based on data published by Akeso at the 2024 European Lung Cancer Conference with a cut-off date of October 2023 after a median follow-up time of approximately 25.8 months, ivonescimab treatment, was associated with an overall response rate (ORR) in a Phase II study in patients with NSCLC (n=19) who have failed an EGFR-TKI of 68.4%, a median Progression-Free Survival (“mPFS”) time period of 8.5 months, and a median Overall Survival (“mOS”) of 22.5 months when combined with doublet chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin). The Phase II study, AK112-201, Cohort 2, was considered to have demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and a low discontinuation rate for adverse events.

In a separate group in the same Phase II study, AK112-201 (Cohort 1) for first-line advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with squamous histology, (n=63), ivonescimab, combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel, in demonstrated a mPFS of 11.1 months. Median overall survival was not reached after a median follow-up period of 22.1 months. Phase II study was considered to have demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and a low discontinuation rate for adverse events.

Summit plans to conduct its current clinical trials, as well as design and conduct additional clinical trial activities for ivonescimab in its Licensed Territory, to support and submit relevant regulatory filings. Summit also plans to support additional study activities through its investigator initiated study program.

Product Pipeline

Summit Sponsored Ivonescimab Trials: Ivonescimab is currently being investigated in global Phase III clinical trials. Phase I and II trials were completed by our partner Akeso. This pipeline reflects clinical trials that have been initiated by Summit in its Licensed Territory.

Screenshot 2024-02-16 145418.jpg

HARMONi study is a multi-regional, registration-enabling clinical trial that we joined with Akeso, and for which we started initiating and activating sites in North America and Europe during 2023. The first patient in our Licensed Territory was enrolled during the second quarter of 2023. We plan to initiate additional sites in North America and Europe by the end of the second quarter of 2024. We expect to complete enrollment during the second half of 2024. The co-primary endpoints for this study are progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

HARMONi-3 study is a phase III, is multi-regional, registration-enabling clinical trial for which we initiated activating sites in North Americas and China during fourth quarter of 2023. We plan to initiate additional sites in North America, China, European countries, Japan and several other countries through early 2025. Our plan to initiate in new countries and sites is dependent upon the timing and requirements for getting the regulatory approval of the clinical trial applications with the respective regulatory authorities and approvals from central or local independent review boards. We may decide to modify our plans to go in certain regions or countries based on the timelines and requirements from the respective regulatory regions. We commenced patient enrollment in the HARMONi-3 study during fourth quarter of 2023. The primary endpoint for this study is overall survival (OS).

In Q4 2023, we began collaborating with multiple institutions globally and opened our investigator initiated study program across several disease areas.

In addition, our partners at Akeso are sponsoring multiple, ongoing Phase II and III clinical trials in NSCLC and other cancers outside of our Licensed Territory. We plan to review the data generated from these clinical trials as a part of our consideration for advancing our clinical development pipeline for ivonescimab in our Licensed Territory.

Status of Anti-Infectives Pipeline

Discuva Platform

In December 2017, we acquired Discuva Limited, a privately held United Kingdom-based company. Through this acquisition, we obtained a bacterial genetics platform and a suite of software-based technologies (collectively termed our “Discuva Platform”), which facilitate the discovery and development of new mechanism antibiotics. Our Discuva Platform can be used to identify new bacterial targets for drug discovery, understand the mechanism of action of small molecules targeting varying types of bacteria and select the most optimal preclinical candidates, including those with the least propensity to develop bacterial resistance.

On January 20, 2023, we announced that, given the License Agreement that we entered into in December 2022 and the shift in Company’s focus to oncology, we will cease further investment in the Discuva platform and evaluate further options for the use of the Discuva Platform.

Results of Operations

Amounts reported in millions within this Quarterly Report are computed based on the amounts in thousands, and therefore, the sum of components may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding.

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Research and Development Expenses

The table below summarizes our research and development expenses by category for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Three Months Ended
March 31,
(in millions) 2024 2023
Oncology $ 20.7  $ 2.4 
Anti-infectives 0.1  0.4 
Compensation related costs, excluding stock-based compensation 6.5  4.8 
Stock-based compensation 2.4  1.1 
Other research and development costs 1.2  1.2 
Total $ 30.9  $ 9.9 

The entry into the License Agreement with Akeso, Inc., effective in January 2023, represents a significant change in our strategy from anti-infectives to the therapeutic area of oncology.

Oncology expenses represent our investment in the clinical development of ivonescimab, known as SMT112 in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. During the second quarter of 2023, we announced plans to initiate Phase III clinical studies for ivonescimab in NSCLC and we announced that the first United States-based patient had been enrolled in the Phase III HARMONi study. We have recently commenced enrollment in our second Phase III HARMONi-3 clinical trial. We are continuing to focus our efforts on patient enrollment in both the Phase III HARMONi and Phase III HARMONi-3 studies.

With this shift in focus from anti-infectives to oncology, research and development expenses increased by $21 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to our investment in oncology expenses of $18.3 million, and an increase in compensation related expenses of $1.7 million to support the clinical development of ivonescimab as we hire experts in the oncology field, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million related to discontinuing the development activities related to ridinilazole and SMT-738. We expect oncology-related research and development costs to continue to increase as we progress with the development of ivonescimab.

In-process research and development

The table below summarizes our in-process research and development expenses by category for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(in millions)
2024
2023
Upfront milestone payments $ —  $ 520.8 
Direct transaction costs —  0.1 
Total $ —  $ 520.9 

Our investment in ivonescimab totaled $520.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and primarily related to our upfront milestone payments pursuant to the License Agreement with Akeso. The License Agreement closed in January 2023, and both Akeso and Summit entered into the Common Stock Issuance Agreement (“Issuance Agreement”). Pursuant to the License Agreement and Issuance Agreement, Akeso elected to receive 10 million shares of our common stock in lieu of $25.1 million cash and was paid $274.9 million in cash as the initial upfront payment. The remaining $200.0 million upfront payment was paid on March 6, 2023. In-process research and development expense comprised of the $474.9 million paid in cash, the fair value of the 10 million shares of common stock on the date of closing the transaction of $45.9 million, and $0.1 million of direct transactions costs incurred.

General and Administrative Expenses

The table below summarizes our general and administrative expenses by category for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Legal fees and professional services
1.0  1.7
Other general and administrative expenses 1.2  1.0 
Total $ 11.7  $ 6.9 
General and administrative expenses increased by $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase of $5.3 million in stock-based compensation as the Company is focused on building its executive management team to continue supporting the growth of the Company, partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in legal and professional services related to corporate projects and transactions. We expect general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as we scale our infrastructure and management to support development of ivonescimab.

Other Operating Income

The table below summarizes our other operating income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Three Months Ended

Research and development tax credits $ 0.2  $ 0.6 
$ 0.2  $ 0.6 

U.K. research and development tax credits decreased by $0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively, due to a decrease in clinical and manufacturing activity spend, which resulted in a decrease in tax credits claimed, coupled with a decrease in eligible expenses claimed due to changes in U.K. tax legislation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other expense, net primarily consisted of loan interest expense incurred related to the $100 million promissory note and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, other expense, net primarily consisted of loan interest expense incurred related to the $520 promissory notes, as described in Note 14. These amounts for both periods are partially offset by investment income related to the Company's money market funds and short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through issuances of our common stock, issuance of debt, receipt of payments to us under license, collaboration, and commercialization arrangements, for example, our license and commercialization agreement with Eurofarma Laboratórios SA, or Eurofarma, development funding and other assistance from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations for our product candidates. In particular, we have received funding from BARDA, CARB-X, Innovate UK, Wellcome Trust and a number of not-for-profit organizations.

We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, including clinical trials. We have not completed the development of any drugs. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next few years. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, due to the nature and timing of our research and development activities. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to be significant in connection with our ongoing research and development efforts. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates in the United States or other jurisdictions where we retain commercial rights, and if we choose to retain those rights, we would expect to incur significant sales, marketing, distribution and outsourced manufacturing expenses, as well as ongoing research and development expenses. In addition, our expenses will increase if and as we:

•invest in clinical development of invonescimab in our Licensed Territory;
•conduct research and continue development of additional product candidates;
•maintain and augment our intellectual property portfolio and opportunistically acquire complimentary intellectual property;
•seek further regulatory advancement for ivonescimab;
•invest in our manufacturing capabilities for ivonescimab and any other products for which we may obtain regulatory approval;
•seek marketing approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical development;
•ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure in jurisdictions where we have retained commercialization rights and scale up external manufacturing capabilities to commercialize any product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;
•perform our obligations under our collaboration agreements;
•pursue business development opportunities, including investing in other businesses, products and technologies;
27




•experience any delays or encounter any issues with any of the above, including but not limited to failed studies, complex results, safety issues or other regulatory challenges
•hire additional clinical, regulatory, scientific and administrative personnel;
•expand our physical presence;
•add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and planned future commercialization efforts; and
•borrow capital to fund our resources and have to pay interest expenses on such borrowings.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $43.5 million, and cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $30.1 million. As of March 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,036.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of $61.3 million, short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities of $95.4 million. We expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.

We have evaluated whether our cash, cash equivalents and U.K. research and development tax credits provide sufficient cash to fund our operating cash needs for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these quarterly financials. We are investing in the clinical development of ivonescimab, including its ongoing clinical trials. In addition, we have a $100 million promissory note and interest payable to a related party (refer to Note 14 for further details) that matures on April 1, 2025. Based upon our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2024, we expect to be able to operate through the first quarter of 2025. In order to further fund our operating cash needs and repay this promissory note, we intend to raise additional capital. As of the date of this filing, the additional capital has not been secured. As a result, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition to the payments already made to Akeso, under the License Agreement there are additional potential milestone payments of $4.5 billion, as Akeso will be eligible to receive regulatory milestones of up to $1.05 billion and commercial milestones of up to $3.45 billion. In addition, Akeso will be eligible to receive low double-digit royalties on net sales. Until we can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, we will need to raise additional capital to fund ongoing operations and capital needs, including the payment of the milestone payments referenced above.

We have based the foregoing estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. This estimate assumes, among other things, that we do not obtain any additional funding through grants and clinical trial support or through new collaboration arrangements. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•the costs, timing and outcome of clinical trials required for clinical development of ivonescimab;
•the number and development requirements of other future product candidates that we pursue;
•the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of ivonescimab and/or our other product candidates we develop;
•the costs and timing of commercialization activities, including product sales, marketing, distribution and manufacturing, for any of our product candidates that receive marketing approval;
•the extent to which we become liable for milestone payments under our Licensing Agreement for ivonescimab;
•subject to receipt of marketing approval, revenue received from commercial sales of any product candidates;
•the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and protecting our intellectual property rights and defending against any intellectual property-related claims;
•our ability to establish and maintain collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such arrangements;
•the extent to which we acquire or invest in other businesses, products and technologies;
•the rate of the expansion of or the extent to which we change our physical presence.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements.

We will need to seek additional funding in the future to fund operations. Additional capital, when needed, may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends or other distributions.
28




If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves, which could materially adversely affect our business prospects or our ability to continue operations.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the results of our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
(in millions) 2024 2023
Net cash used in operating activities $ (30.1) $ (13.1)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
$ 19.8  $ (645.1)
Net cash provided by financing activities $ 0.5  $ 80.1 
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $30.1 million and was due to a net loss of $43.5 million, which included non-cash charges of $9.2 million and a net change in working capital of $4.2 million. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of $9.5 million of stock-based compensation, partially offset by $0.4 million for amortization of the discount on short-term investments. The net change in working capital was primarily due to an increase of $3.7 million of accounts payable, a $1.8 million increase in other long-term liabilities, which represents the interest on the promissory notes payable and an increase in accrued compensation of $0.6 million, offset by decrease of $2.2 million in accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $13.1 million and resulted from a net loss of $542.4 million, which included an adjustment of $475.0 million cash payments to investing activities for the purchase of in-process research and development from Akeso under the terms of the License Agreement and the associated direct transaction costs, non-cash charges of $54.8 million and a net decrease in working capital of $0.5 million. The non-cash charges primarily comprised of $45.9 million issuance of shares in lieu of cash for Akeso upfront payment, $6.1 million non-cash interest expense and $2.8 million of non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation. The net increase in working capital was primarily due to a decrease of $3.2 million in accrued compensation, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in the research and development tax credit receivable, and a decrease of $0.4 million in other non-current assets.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $19.8 million and was primarily due to $112.9 million received from the maturity and redemption of short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities, offset by $93.0 million related to the purchase of short-term investments.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $645.1 million and was primarily due to $475.0 million cash payments made to Akeso for the upfront payment pursuant to the License Agreement and $170.0 million for the purchase of short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and was due to proceeds received of $0.5 million related to employee stock awards.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $80.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and was due to net proceeds received of $104.1 million (net of paid issuance costs) related to the issuance of common stock from the 2023 Rights Offering and net of the extinguishment of $395.3 million of principal and accrued interest due and payable by us under the $400 million Duggan Promissory Note in satisfaction of the subscription price for the shares subscribed by Mr. Duggan in the 2023 Rights Offering, proceeds received of $0.7 million related to employee stock awards, offset by the repayment of $24.7 million related to promissory notes from related parties.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, research and development costs, intangible assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contractual obligations and commitments

Lease Commitments

We lease office space in Menlo Park, California, Miami, Florida, United States and in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. In addition to our lease commitments as of December 31, 2023 which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2024, we entered into a new lease agreement for our Miami, Florida headquarters during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Total future lease payments as of March 31, 2024, which include base rent and sales tax are approximately $4.8 million on an undiscounted basis. This lease commenced on February 1, 2024 and has a term of 64 months. As of March 31, 2024 we have $0.3 million of restricted cash associated with an irrevocable letter of credit required by the landlord to enter into this lease.

Debt Commitments

Refer to Note 14 for a discussion of the promissory note payable to a related party.

Other Commitments

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties for clinical trials, preclinical research studies and testing, manufacturing and other services and products for operating purposes. Most contracts provide for termination upon notice, and therefore are cancellable contracts. The majority of these commitments are due within one year.
There have been no material changes to the Company's other contractual commitments that were disclosed in the our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

We have certain commitments under our agreements with Akeso, Wellcome Trust, the University College London and certain employees, former employees and former directors of Discuva, pursuant to which we will be required to pay royalties or make milestone payments. The License Agreement with Akeso also contains certain manufacturing and purchase commitments. As of March 31, 2024, we are unable to estimate the amount, timing or likelihood of achieving the milestones, making future product sales or assessing estimated forecasts for manufacturing and supplied materials which these contingent payment obligations relate to.

Indemnifications

Our certificate of incorporation provides that it will indemnify the directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with all of the directors and executive officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify each such director or executive officer for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by him or her in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or executive officers. We believe the fair value for these indemnification obligations is minimal.
30




Accordingly, we have not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the contractual obligations and commitments described above, we did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off‑balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 3, Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) under the supervision and the participation of the Company’s management, which is responsible for the management of the internal controls, and which includes our Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We look forward to working with you as an employee and sincerely believe this position offers an excellent opportunity for you to make a significant contribution to our organization as well as to enhance your own career.

Gross-Up for Certain Taxes: In the event that it is determined that any payment or distribution by the Company (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any stock option or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a “Payment”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) by reason of being considered “contingent on a change in ownership or control” of the Company, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or any successor provision thereto (such tax being hereafter referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive will be entitled to receive an additional payment or payments (a “Gross-Up Payment”). The Gross-Up Payment will be in an amount such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes, penalties and interest, including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive will be considered to pay (A) federal income taxes at the highest rate in effect in the year in which the Gross-Up Payment will be made and (B) state and local income taxes at the highest rate in effect in the state or locality in which the Gross-Up Payment would be subject to state or local tax, net of the maximum reduction in federal income tax that could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. The determination of whether an Excise Tax would be imposed, the amount of such Excise Tax, and the calculation of the amounts will be made at the expense of the Company by the Company’s regular independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations. Any determination by the Accounting Firm will be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

2


The Gross-Up Payment will be paid to the Executive as soon as administratively practicable following the later of (i) the date Executive is required to pay the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or (ii) in the event the Executive is determined, in accordance with the methods specified in the regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) of the Company at the time of the Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and the applicable regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder), the first day of the seventh month after the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of death of Executive. In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the Accounting Firm or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the Gross-Up Payment at the time the payment is made (including, but not limited to, by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of such payment), the Company shall make an additional payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or penalty payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The Gross-Up Payment will be made in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first full monthly installment of Base Rent due under this Lease shall be paid in advance on the date of Tenant’s execution of this Lease and shall be applied to the first full monthly installment of Base Rent due hereunder. Tenant agrees to timely pay all Base Rent, Additional Rent, defined below, and all other sums of money which become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (collectively “Rent”), without abatement, demand, offset, deduction or counterclaim. If Tenant fails to pay part or all of the Rent within seven (7) days after it is due, Tenant shall also pay as a part of the Rent due from Tenant hereunder a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid Rent or the maximum then allowed by law, whichever is less; provided, however, that with respect to Tenant’s first late Rent payment during the Term only, Landlord shall provide Tenant with five (5) days prior written notice before it applies the aforementioned late charge. Landlord may assess a reasonable fee to Tenant for any checks made payable to Landlord that are returned unpaid by Tenant’s bank for any reason. If the Term does not begin on the first day of a calendar month, the installment of Rent for that partial month shall be prorated.

6.Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent for the Premises in the amounts set forth in Section 1. Base Rent includes a component attributable to Operating Expenses (defined below) for the Base Year as specified in Section 1 (“Base Operating Expenses”), and to Taxes (defined below) for the Base Year (“Base Taxes”). Prior to January 1 of each year in the Term (or as soon thereafter as it is reasonably able to do so), Landlord shall provide Tenant with an estimate of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the next calendar year in the Term (each, an “Operating Period”). If Operating Expenses during any Operating Period, as estimated by Landlord, exceed Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for such Operating Period an amount equal to the product of (a) the difference between Operating Expenses for such Operating Period and the Base Operating Expenses, multiplied by (b) the Pro-rata Share; and if Taxes during any Operating Period, as estimated by Landlord, exceed Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for such Operating Period an amount equal to the product of (i) the difference between Taxes for such Operating Period and the Base Taxes, multiplied by (ii) the Pro-rata Share (the sum of such amounts being collectively referred to herein as “Additional Rent”); such Additional Rent shall be paid in monthly installments of one twelfth (1/12) of the Additional Rent owed from Tenant for such Operating Period, with such installments being due at the same time and in the same manner as Tenant’s monthly payments of Base Rent.

7.Operating Expenses and Taxes.

Except as specifically provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Operating Expenses shall not include the following: (i) depreciation, (ii) leasing commissions, (iii) repairs and restorations paid for by the proceeds of any insurance policy, (iv) construction of improvements of a capital nature, (v) income and franchise taxes other than that portion, if any, of income and franchise taxes which may hereafter be assessed and paid in lieu of or as a substitute in whole or in part for Taxes, or (vi) costs of utilities directly charged to and reimbursed by Tenant or other tenants. “Taxes,” as used herein, means all ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes, and all other taxes, assessments, and all other similar charges, if any, which are levied, assessed, or imposed upon or become due and payable in connection with, or a lien upon, the Project or any portion thereof or facilities used in connection therewith, and all taxes of whatsoever nature that are imposed in substitution for or in lieu of any of the taxes, assessments, or other charges included in this definition of Taxes, such as taxes paid through a private agreement with respect to the Property as a part of or in connection with an inducement resolution with a development authority and all costs, expenses and fees associated or incurred by Landlord in connection with that inducement resolution and transaction involving a development authority; but excluding, however, taxes and assessments attributable to the personal property of tenants and paid by such tenants as a separate charge. In the event Landlord shall retain any consultant to negotiate the amount of taxes, tax rate, assessed value or other factors influencing the amount of Taxes, then the aggregate of all such reasonable third-party fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and appraisers’ fees) and all disbursements, court costs and other items paid or incurred by Landlord during the applicable tax year with respect to such proceedings shall be included in Taxes. Tenant shall not institute any proceedings with respect to the assessed valuation of the Building, Project, or the Property or any part thereof for the purpose of seeking or securing a tax reduction. If a rental tax, gross receipts tax or sales tax on Rent is imposed on Landlord by any Governmental Authority, Tenant shall, as additional Rent, reimburse Landlord, at the same time as each monthly payment of Rent is due, an amount equal to all such taxes Landlord is required to pay by reason of the Rent paid hereunder. If less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building is actually occupied during any Operating Period, Operating Expenses shall be the amount that such Operating Expenses would have been for such Operating Period had ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building been occupied during all such Operating Period, as determined by Landlord. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease to the contrary, Landlord agrees that, for purposes of calculating Operating Expenses, the portion of Operating Expenses for each calendar year after the first full calendar year after the Base Year occurs that consists of Controllable Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) shall not increase more than five percent (5%) per year, on a cumulative and compounding basis. As used herein, the term
5


“Controllable Operating Expenses” shall mean only Operating Expense which are within the reasonable control of Landlord; thus, Controllable Operating Expenses exclude the following (and the following shall not be capped): taxes, insurance, utilities (including, without limitation, water, sewer, waste disposal, gas, electricity and power for heating, lighting, air conditioning and ventilations), security, snow and ice removal and other weather-related costs, costs incurred to comply with governmental requirements or law, third party or contract labor costs (including, without limitation, labor costs for third party or contract janitorial and security personnel), increase in minimum wages and/or union rates, and other costs beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Any such Operating Expenses that cannot be passed through to Tenant in a given year may be carried forward to and passed through to Tenant, as Additional Rental, in subsequent calendar years, if any, if such increase in Operating Costs does not cause total Operating Expenses to exceed the foregoing limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events Landlord shall be entitled to the management fee contribution set forth in Section 3(y) above.
(b)Additional Rent. Landlord shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Operating Period (or as soon thereafter as it is reasonably able to do so), furnish Tenant with a statement of the Operating Expenses and Taxes during such year and a computation of the Additional Rent owed by Tenant for such Operating Period (“Expense Statement”). Failure of Landlord to provide such statement within such time period shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect any Additional Rent. If such statement shows that the actual amount Tenant owes for such Operating Period is more than the estimated Additional Rent paid by Tenant for such Operating Period, Tenant shall pay the difference within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Expense Statement. If the Expense Statement shows that Tenant paid more in estimated Additional Rent than the actual amount of Additional Rent owed by Tenant for such Operating Period, Tenant shall receive a credit therefor. The credit shall be applied to future monthly payments attributable to the Additional Rent or the Base Rent (at Tenant’s discretion), or if this Lease has expired, such amount shall be refunded to Tenant. The Operating Expenses, Taxes and Additional Rent set forth in the Expense Statement shall be binding upon Tenant. Provided, however, that in the event that the Term of this Lease expires, or is terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease, on a date other than December 31, then, at the option of Landlord, Landlord may, either prior to the date on which the Term expires, or within thirty (30) days thereafter, elect to provide Tenant with a revised estimate of the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Operating Period in which such expiration or termination date occurs and the Additional Rent that will be due from Tenant for such Operating Period, which estimated Additional Rent shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such Operating Period that is contained within the Term of the Lease (the “Final Expense Estimate”). In the event that Landlord elects to deliver a Final Expense Estimate to Tenant, then (i) Tenant shall pay the prorated Additional Rent reflected in such statement within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of such estimate; (ii) the estimated amount of the Additional Rent for the final Operating Period shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant; and (iii) Landlord shall not thereafter seek from Tenant any additional payment of Additional Rent if the actual Operating Expenses and Taxes for such Operating Period are greater than those reflected in the Final Expense Estimate, nor shall Landlord have any obligation to refund to Tenant any excess funds paid by Tenant to Landlord should the actual Operating Expenses and Taxes for such Operating Period be less than those reflected in the Final Expense Estimate. In the event that Landlord elects not to provide Tenant with a Final Expense Estimate, then it shall be presumed that Landlord will provide Tenant with an Expense Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the final Operating Period contained in the Term, as provided above, and the Additional Rent shown in such Expense Statement shall be due from Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of such statement.

(c)Tenant’s Audit. Tenant shall have the right to have Landlord’s books and records pertaining to Operating Expenses and Taxes for each Operating Period reviewed, copied (provided Landlord is reimbursed for the cost of such copies) and audited (“Tenant’s Audit”), provided that: (a) such right shall not be exercised more than once during any calendar year; (b) if Tenant elects to conduct Tenant’s Audit, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice thereof (“Tenant’s Audit Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of the Expense Statement for the year to which Tenant’s Audit will apply; (c) Tenant shall have no right to conduct Tenant’s Audit if an uncured Default by Tenant exists either at the time of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Audit Notice or at any time during Tenant’s Audit; (d) no subtenant shall have any right to conduct an audit and no assignee shall conduct an audit for any period during which such assignee was not in possession of the Premises; (e) conducting Tenant’s Audit shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to timely pay Base Rent or the Additional Rent, pending the outcome of such audit; (f) Tenant’s right to conduct such audit for any calendar year shall expire thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of the Expense Statement for such year, and if Landlord has not received Tenant’s Audit Notice within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have waived its right to conduct Tenant’s
6


Audit for such calendar year; provided, however, that with respect to any audit of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Base Year, Tenant’s right to conduct an audit for such year shall expire the earlier of sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of the Expense Statement for the Base Year or sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of the first Expense Statement forwarded by Landlord to Tenant for any Operating Period during the Term; (g) Tenant’s Audit shall be conducted by a Certified Public Accountant whose compensation is not contingent upon the results of Tenant’s Audit or the amount of any refund received by Tenant, and who is not employed by or otherwise affiliated with Tenant; (h) Tenant’s Audit shall be conducted at Landlord’s office where the records of the year in question are maintained by Landlord, during Landlord’s normal business hours; (i) Tenant’s Audit shall be completed within thirty (30) days after the date of Tenant’s Audit Notice, and a complete copy of the results thereof shall be delivered to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant’s Audit Notice; and (j) Tenant’s Audit shall be conducted at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Tenant’s Audit is completed and submitted to Landlord in accordance with the requirements of this Section and such audit demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that Landlord has overstated the Operating Expenses or Taxes for the year audited, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any overpayment.

(d)Confidentiality. Tenant hereby agrees to keep the results of Tenant’s Audit confidential and to require the auditor conducting Tenant’s Audit, including its employees and each of their respective attorneys and advisors, to keep the results of Tenant’s Audit in strictest confidence. In particular, but without limitation, Tenant agrees that: (a) Tenant shall not disclose the results of Tenant’s Audit to any past, current or prospective tenant of the Building; and (b) Tenant shall require that its auditors, attorneys and anyone associated with such parties shall not disclose the results of Tenant’s Audit to any past, current or prospective tenant of the Building; provided, however, that Landlord hereby agrees that nothing in items (a) or (b) of this subparagraph shall preclude Tenant from disclosing the results of Tenant’s Audit in any judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding, or pursuant to court order or discovery request, or to any current or prospective assignee or subtenant of Tenant, or to any agent, representative or employee of Landlord who or which request the same. If Tenant intends to disclose the results of Tenant’s Audit in any judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding, or if Tenant receives notice that it may be required in any such proceeding by either the order of any judicial, regulatory or other governmental entity presiding over such proceeding, or by a discovery request made in such proceeding, to disclose the results of Tenant’s Audit, then Tenant shall (i) provide Landlord with sufficient prior written notice of Tenant’s intent to make such disclosure, or such order or request for such disclosure, in order to permit Landlord to contest such intended disclosure, order or request; and (ii) cooperate with Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other remedy to limit the disclosure of such results to the extent reasonably required to adjudicate the matters at issue in such proceeding. If required by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and require Tenant’s auditor to execute Landlord’s then-current confidentiality agreement reflecting the terms of this Section as a condition precedent to Tenant’s right to conduct Tenant’s Audit.

8.Letter of Credit. (a) Terms and Conditions. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) established in Landlord’s (and its successors’ and assigns’) favor in the Letter of Credit Amount set forth in Section 1(m) of this Lease, issued by a federally insured banking or lending institution (i.e., insured by the FDIC) with a retail banking branch located in Miami, Florida, and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord (the “Issuer”), and in other form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall specifically provide for partial draws, shall be self- renewing annually as an “Evergreen” letter of credit, without amendment, for additional one-year periods, shall have a term that is self-renewing until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of the Lease (which shall include any exercised and unexercised renewal terms, if any) and shall by its terms be transferable by the beneficiary thereunder for a transfer fee not to exceed $250.00 payable by Tenant. If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent, or other charges due to Landlord under the terms of the Lease, or otherwise commits a Default hereunder, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make a demand for payment under the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amounts then due and owing to Landlord under the Lease. If Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall present to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit in the full Letter of Credit Amount satisfying all of the terms and conditions of this Section within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of notice from Landlord of such draw. Tenant’s failure to do so within such 21-day period will constitute a Default hereunder (Tenant hereby waiving any additional notice and grace or cure period), and upon such Default by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to immediately exercise all rights and remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity. If the Letter of Credit is terminated by the Issuer thereof prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of this Lease, as set forth above, and Tenant has not presented to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of the
7


Lease on or before thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any such Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to have committed a Default hereunder and Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for hereunder, shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord and any such amount paid to Landlord by the Issuer of the Letter of Credit shall be held in a segregated account by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Any interest earned on such amounts shall be the property of Landlord. Landlord’s election to draw under the Letter of Credit and to hold the proceeds of the drawing under the Letter of Credit in a segregated account shall not be deemed a cure of any default by Tenant hereunder and shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to present to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any proceeds of a draw made under the Letter of Credit and thereafter held in a segregated account by Landlord may be used by Landlord to cure or satisfy any obligation of Tenant hereunder as if such proceeds were instead proceeds of a draw made under a Letter of Credit that remained outstanding and in full force and effect at the time such amounts are applied by Landlord to cure or satisfy any such obligation of Tenant. Tenant hereby affirmatively disclaims any interest Tenant has, may have, claims to have, or may claim to have in any proceeds drawn by Landlord under the Letter of Credit and held in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that at the end of the Term of the Lease (whether by expiration or earlier termination hereof), and if Tenant is not then in Default under this Lease, Landlord shall return to the Issuer of the Letter of Credit or its successor (or as such Issuer may direct in writing) any remaining and unapplied proceeds of any prior draws made under the Letter of Credit, and Tenant shall have no rights, residual or otherwise, in or to such proceeds. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord will have the right to require Tenant to have a new Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the above requirements from a different Issuer if either the original Issuer is placed on an FDIC “watch list”, if the FDIC or similar state or federal banking regulatory agency is appointed as receiver or conservator for such Issuer or if Landlord analyzes such Issuer’s capitalization, asset quality, earnings, and/or liquidity and in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, disapproves of such Issuer’s financial wherewithal and ability to remain as the Issuer of the Letter of Credit. Such new Letter of Credit must comply with the foregoing requirements and must be issued within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor.

(b) Security Deposit. In the event that Tenant does not deliver the Letter of Credit in the Letter of Credit Amount to Landlord on the Effective Date as required by Section 8(a) above, then simultaneously upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit a security deposit with Landlord in the amount of $300,000.00 (the “Security Deposit”) to secure Tenant’s performance under this Lease. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in the Security Deposit as collateral for all Rent and other sums of money becoming due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, and for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, which security interest shall remain in effect until all such Rent and other sums of money have been paid in full and all such obligations have been fulfilled; the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Lease constitutes a security agreement under which such security interest is granted from Tenant to Landlord. In the event of an uncured Default, defined below, then Landlord may, without prejudice to Landlord’s other remedies, apply part or all of the Security Deposit to cure such Default. If Landlord so uses part or all of the Security Deposit, then Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand, provide Landlord with a replacement Security Deposit in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Any part of the Security Deposit not used by the Landlord as permitted by this Lease shall be returned to Tenant after the Expiration Date. If Landlord sells the Building then the Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to the new owner and Landlord shall be relieved of any liability for the Security Deposit. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit, and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with other monies of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant delivers the Letter of Credit in the Letter of Credit Amount to Landlord as required by Section 8(a) above within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, then Landlord shall return the unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within three (3) business days of its receipt of the Letter of Credit.

1.Tenant Improvements. The construction of any Tenant Improvements to the Premises shall be undertaken in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease and if applicable, the terms set forth in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by this reference. Unless otherwise stated herein, the parties’ respective obligations for payment of the Tenant Improvements shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter. Except as expressly stated in this Lease and in the Work Letter, Landlord shall have no obligation to improve or otherwise modify the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy.

8


2.Maintenance and Repair. Landlord shall make such improvements, repairs or replacements as may be necessary for normal maintenance of the Building Systems serving the Premises, the exterior and the structural portions of the Building and the Common Areas. Subject to the terms of Section 7, the maintenance and repairs to be performed by Landlord hereunder shall be at Landlord’s expense, unless the need for such maintenance or repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such maintenance or repairs, plus a construction oversight fee for Landlord in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the cost and expense of such maintenance or repairs; the construction oversight or management fee, if any, applicable to construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not by the provisions of this Section. Except to the extent that Landlord is obligated to restore and repair the Premises pursuant to Section 23, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall maintain and repair the Premises and otherwise keep the Premises in good order and repair. Any repair or maintenance by Tenant shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions and requirements of Section 16. Landlord is not responsible for replacing and/or repairing Tenant’s fixtures or any Above Standard improvements, or fixtures. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall accept the Premises including any existing appliances and Above Standard fixtures in their “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition as of the Effective Date. For purposes of this Lease, all Above Standard improvements and fixtures existing in the Premises as of the Effective Date shall be deemed to be Tenant’s property until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises under this Lease, at which time such Above Standard improvements and fixtures shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord with the Premises.

3.Services. Landlord shall furnish Tenant during Tenant's occupancy of the Premises the following services: (i) Cleaning and Janitorial Services (defined in Exhibit B), (ii) domestic water at those points of supply provided for general office use of tenants in the Building, (iii) electricity for normal, Building Standard office uses subject to Section 12, (iv) elevator service at the times and frequency reasonably required for normal business use of the Premises, and (v) lamp and ballast replacement for Building Standard light fixtures, and (vi) HVAC service between 8:00 o’clock a.m. and 6:00 o’clock p.m. on Monday through Friday (“Building Standard Hours”), except on New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and other holidays observed by a majority of the tenants of the Building (“Holidays”). If any Holiday falls on a weekend, the Building may observe the Holiday on the preceding Friday or the succeeding Monday. In addition to HVAC service provided during Building Standard Hours, Landlord shall, upon Tenant’s request, provide HVAC service to the Premises between the hours of 8:00 o’clock a.m. and noon on Saturday, at no additional charge to Tenant, provided that such request is made no later than 2 o’clock p.m. on the immediately preceding day. Tenant may periodically request, and Landlord shall furnish HVAC service on days and at times other than those referred to above, provided Tenant requests such service in accordance with the Project Rules, defined below, then in effect, and agrees to reimburse Landlord for this service at the then existing rate being charged in the Building (which rate as of the Effective Date is $100.00 per hour, per zone, with a two (2) hour minimum). If Tenant utilizes services provided by Landlord hereunder in either quantity and/or quality exceeding the quantity and/or quality customarily utilized by normal office uses of comparable premises in the Building, then Landlord may separately meter or otherwise monitor Tenant's use of such services, and charge Tenant a reasonable amount for such excess usage; such amount shall constitute additional Rent due hereunder within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's statement for such excess. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall any Rent be abated by reason of, the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with furnishing any of the foregoing services, or failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such service. The failure to furnish any such services shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, be responsible for cleaning and maintaining any Above Standard improvements or fixtures, including Above Standard Tenant Work, defined below, and Above Standard Tenant Improvements, in the Premises.

4.Electrical Usage. Landlord shall supply sufficient electrical capacity to a panel box located in the core of each floor for lighting and for Tenant’s office equipment to the extent that the total demand load at 100% capacity of such lighting and equipment does not exceed six (6) watts per RSF in the Premises (“Electrical Design Load”). If Tenant utilizes any portion of the Premises on a regular basis beyond Building Standard Hours or in any manner in excess of the Electrical Design Load, Landlord shall have the right to separately meter such space and charge Tenant for all excess usage; additionally, Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to separately meter any Above Standard fixture(s) in the Premises, such as water heaters and vending machines, and to charge
9


Tenant for the electricity consumed by such fixture(s). If separate metering is not practical, Landlord may reasonably estimate such excess usage and charge Tenant a reasonable hourly rate. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of all electricity consumed in excess of six (6) watts per RSF in the Premises for the number of hours in the Building Standard Hours for the relevant period, plus any actual accounting expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the metering or calculation thereof. Tenant shall pay the cost of installing, maintaining, repairing and replacing all such meters. In the event that the level of occupancy of the Premises, or any machinery or equipment located in the Premises, creates unusual demands on the HVAC system serving the Premises, then Tenant may install, and Landlord may require that Tenant install, its own supplemental HVAC unit(s) (“Supplemental HVAC Equipment”) in the Premises, and in either event the installation, maintenance and removal of the Supplemental HVAC Equipment shall be governed by the terms of Exhibit F attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. In the event that the Premises are separately metered for electricity, and electricity is provided to the Premises directly from the utility provider, then Tenant shall, at reasonable intervals specified by Landlord, submit to Landlord data regarding the consumption of electricity in the Premises in a format that is reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

5.Communication Lines. Subject to Building design limits and its existing, or then existing, capacity, Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use communications or computer wires and cables which service the Premises (“Lines”), provided: (a) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, and shall use contractors approved in writing by Landlord, (b) all such Lines shall be plenum rated and neatly bundled, labeled and attached to beams and not to suspended ceiling grids, (c) any such installation, maintenance, replacement, removal or use shall comply with all Laws applicable thereto, including, but not limited to the National Electric Code, and shall not interfere with any then existing Lines at the Building, and (d) Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which violate this Lease or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition, within three (3) business days after written notice. Tenant shall remove all Lines installed by or on behalf of Tenant upon termination or expiration of this Lease. Any Lines that Landlord expressly permits to remain at the expiration or termination of this Lease shall become the property of Landlord without payment of any type. Under no circumstances shall any Line problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

6.Prohibited Use. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done within the Project nor bring, keep or permit anything to be brought or kept therein, which is prohibited by any Laws now in force or hereafter enacted or promulgated, or which is prohibited by any insurance policy or which may increase the existing rate or otherwise affect any insurance which Landlord carries on the Project, or which would violate any then existing exclusive use granted by Landlord to any other tenant or occupant of the Project. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants, or injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or objectionable purpose. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste to, in or about the Premises or Project.

7.Legal Requirements; Project Rules. Tenant shall comply with, and shall indemnify and hold Landlord and its directors, officers, partners, members, shareholders, employees and agents harmless from any and all obligations, claims, administrative proceedings, judgments, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Costs”) incurred by Landlord as a result of the failure by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors to comply with all Laws relating to the use, condition or occupancy of the Premises now or hereafter enacted, and the Project Rules, defined below. Tenant shall cause its employees, agents and contractors to comply with, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its invitees to comply with, all Laws applicable to the Project. Tenant shall not cause or permit the use, generation, storage, release or disposal in or about the Premises or the Project of any substances, materials or wastes subject to regulation under any Laws from time to time including, without limitation, flammable, explosive, hazardous, petroleum, toxic or radioactive materials, unless Tenant shall have received Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold or revoke at any time in its sole discretion. Tenant shall comply with, and cause its employees, agents and contractors to comply with, and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause its invitees to comply with, the rules and regulations of the Project adopted by Landlord from time to time for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises and the Project (“Project Rules”). In the event of any conflict between this Lease and the Project Rules, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any failure of any other tenants to comply with the
10


Project Rules. The Project Rules in effect as of the Effective Date are attached hereto as Exhibit C. In the event that any Governmental Authority, ordinance or other Law applicable to the Project requires either Landlord or Tenant to establish and implement a transportation management plan designed to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles being used by employees and other permitted occupants of the Building for commuting to and from the Building, then Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in establishing and implementing such plan. In the event that any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Project requires that modifications be made to the Common Areas as a result of Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of the Premises, then such modifications shall be made by Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as additional Rent due under this Lease, for Landlord’s reasonable cost incurred in making such modifications, with such reimbursement to be made within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement for such cost.

8.Alterations, Additions and Improvements. After the Commencement Date, Tenant shall not permit, make or allow to be made any construction, alterations, physical additions or improvements in or to the Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (“Tenant Work”), nor place any signs in the Premises which are visible from outside the Premises, without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant Work that: (i) is non-structural and does not adversely affect any Building Systems or improvements, (ii) is not visible from the exterior of the Premises, (iii) does not affect the exterior of the Building or any Common Areas, (iv) does not violate any provision of this Lease, (v) does not violate any Laws, and (vi) will not interfere with the use and occupancy of any other portion of the Project by any other tenant or occupant of the Project. Tenant’s plans and specifications and all contractors, subcontractors, vendors, architects and engineers (collectively, “Outside Contractors”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute a work letter for any such Tenant Work substantially in the form then used by Landlord for construction performed by tenants of the Building. Tenant shall pay Landlord a construction oversight fee in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost and expense of any Tenant Work whether undertaken by Landlord or Tenant. Landlord may hire outside consultants to review such documents and information furnished to Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, upon demand. Neither review nor approval by Landlord of any plans or specifications shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord that such documents either (i) are complete or suitable for their intended purpose, or (ii) comply with applicable Laws, it being expressly agreed by Tenant that Landlord assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever to Tenant or any other person or entity for such completeness, suitability or compliance. Tenant shall furnish any documents and information reasonably requested by Landlord, including “as-built” drawings (both in paper and in electronic format acceptable to Landlord) after completion of such Tenant Work. Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant Work as are reasonably appropriate, including without limitation, compliance with any construction rules adopted by Landlord from time to time, requiring Tenant to furnish Landlord with security for the payment of all costs to be incurred in connection with such Tenant Work, insurance covering Landlord against liabilities which may arise out of such work, plans and specifications, and permits for such Tenant Work. All Building Standard Tenant Work shall become the property of Landlord upon completion and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises under this Lease, unless Landlord shall require removal or restoration of such Tenant Work by Tenant. All Tenant Work that is Above Standard shall be and remain the property of Tenant, and shall be maintained by Tenant in good condition and repair throughout the Term, until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises under this Lease, at which time such Tenant Work shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord with the Premises, unless Landlord specifies, at the time of the approval of the installation of such Above Standard Tenant Work, that Landlord will require Tenant to remove same upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises under the Lease. Any Tenant Work that Tenant is required to remove from the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises under this Lease shall be removed at Tenant’s sole expense, and Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. Tenant shall not allow any liens to be filed against the Premises or the Project in connection with any Tenant Work. If any liens are filed, Tenant shall cause the same to be released within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice of the filing of such lien by bonding or other method acceptable to Landlord. All Outside Contractors shall maintain insurance in amounts and types required by, and in compliance with, Section 20. An ACORD 25 (or its equivalent) certificates of insurance in the most recent edition available evidencing such coverage shall be provided to Landlord prior to
11


commencement of any Tenant Work. All Outside Contractors shall perform all work in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all Laws and all applicable Project Rules and Building construction rules. No Tenant Work shall be unreasonably disruptive to other tenants. Prior to final completion of any Tenant Work, Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant a punch list of items to be completed, and Tenant shall diligently complete all such punch list items.

9.Tenant’s Equipment. Except for personal computers, facsimile machines, copiers and other similar office equipment, Tenant shall not install within the Premises any fixtures, equipment or other improvements until the plans and location thereof have been approved by Landlord. The location, weight and supporting devices for any libraries, central filing areas, safes and other heavy equipment shall in all cases be approved by Landlord prior to initial installation or any relocation. Landlord may prohibit any article, equipment or any other item that may exceed the load capacity of the Building from being brought into the Building.

10.Taxes on Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay all ad valorem and similar taxes or assessments levied upon all equipment, fixtures, furniture and other property placed by Tenant in the Premises and all license and other fees or taxes imposed on Tenant’s business. If any improvements installed or placed in the Project by, or at the expense of, Tenant result in Landlord being required to pay higher Taxes with respect to the Project than would have been payable otherwise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand, the amount by which such excess Taxes are reasonably attributable to Tenant.
11.Access. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times in order to inspect the condition, show the Premises, determine if Tenant is performing its obligations hereunder, perform the services or make the repairs that Landlord is obligated or elects to perform hereunder, make repairs to adjoining space, cure any Defaults of Tenant hereunder that Landlord elects to cure, and remove from the Premises any improvements or property placed therein in violation of this Lease. Except in the case of an emergency or to perform routine services hereunder, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant prior notice of such access.

12.Tenant’s Insurance. Commencing the date Tenant is required to provide Landlord with the certificate of insurance, as provided below, and continuing until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall carry and maintain at its expense the following insurance coverages with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord with a rating of A- or better by A.M. Best Company: (i) Commercial General Liability (CGL) Policy (written on an occurrence basis), with limits not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence, Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000) annual aggregate covering liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, personal injury, advertising injury and liability assumed under a contract; (ii) Property Damage Insurance on a Causes of Loss-Special Form basis covering on a replacement cost value all Above Standard improvements, fixtures, personal property and equipment located within the Premises; (iii) Business Interruption and Extra Expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to the perils insured against under this section; (iv) Workers’ Compensation insurance policy as required by the applicable state law, and Employers Liability insurance with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); (v) Automobile Liability insurance with single limit coverage of at least $1,000,000 for all owned, leased/hired or non-owned vehicles; (vi) to the extent applicable to Tenant, if Tenant will serve or sell alcohol at the Project, a liquor liability insurance policy with minimum coverage of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and (vii) Excess/Umbrella liability policy “following form” of not less than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), including a “drop down” feature in case the limits of the primary policy are exhausted. Landlord may also require all Outside Contractors (if any) to provide additional types of insurance coverages in amounts and types deemed necessary by Landlord, including, without limitation, construction All-Risk Builder’s risks, Owners and Contractors Protective (OCP) Liability insurance, Professional Errors and Omissions liability insurance, and insurance covering such contractor’s equipment and tools. Each Liability insurance policy required to be maintained hereunder by Tenant shall name the following entities as Additional Insureds: Landlord, any of Landlord’s lenders, and their direct and indirect parent companies and subsidiaries and any of their affiliated entities, successors and assigns, as well as their respective current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, members and agents. Tenant’s insurance shall be considered primary, not excess, and non-contributory with Landlord’s insurance policies. Insurance deductibles or retentions should be reasonable and customary for policy holders in similar businesses and locations. An ACORD 25 certificate of such insurance in the most recent edition available and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, before the earlier of the Commencement Date or ten (10) days after execution of the Lease, reflecting the limits and endorsements required
12


herein, and renewal certificates shall be delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any policy. Each policy shall be endorsed to provide notice of nonrenewal to Landlord and shall further provide that it may not be materially altered or canceled without thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant to the extent reasonably requested by Tenant to enable Tenant to obtain such insurance. Landlord shall have the right to require increased limits if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such increase is necessary. Tenant shall pay all premiums and charges for all of said policies, and, if Tenant shall fail to make any such payment when due or carry any such policy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or carry such policy, and the amount paid by Landlord shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant within ten (10) days following demand therefor, and all such amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be deemed to constitute additional Rent hereunder. Payment by Landlord of any such premium, or the carrying by Landlord of any such policy, shall not be deemed to waive or release Tenant from any remedy available to Landlord under this Lease.

13.Intentionally Deleted.

14.Waiver of Subrogation; Mutual Waiver of Liability. All policies of insurance required to be carried by either party hereunder shall include a waiver of subrogation endorsement, containing a waiver by the insurer of all right of subrogation against the other party in connection with any loss, injury or damage thereby insured against. The waiver of subrogation shall apply regardless of any deductible (or self-insured retention) or self-insurance carried by either party. Any additional premium for such waiver shall be paid by the primary insured. To the full extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant each waive all rights of recovery against the other (and any officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives of the other), and agree to release the other from liability, for loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance in effect covering the party seeking recovery at the time of such loss or damage or would be covered by the insurance required to be maintained under this Lease by the party seeking recovery. If the release of either party, as set forth above, should contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the liability of the other’s insurer.

15.Casualty. If the Premises or the Project is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty at any time during the Term and if, after such damage or destruction, Tenant is not able to use the portion of the Premises not damaged or destroyed to substantially the same extent and for the Authorized Use for which the Premises were leased to Tenant hereunder, and within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant describing such damage or destruction Landlord provides notice to Tenant that the Premises, as improved to the extent of the Building Standard improvements existing immediately prior to such destruction or casualty, cannot be repaired or rebuilt to the condition which existed immediately prior to such destruction or casualty within three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the date of such destruction or casualty, then either Landlord or Tenant may by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days following such notice by Landlord terminate this Lease. Unless such damage or destruction is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, the Rent shall be abated for the period and proportionately to the extent that after such damage or destruction Tenant is not able to use the portion of the Premises damaged or destroyed for the Authorized Use and to substantially the same extent as Tenant used the Premises prior thereto. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the foregoing, then upon receiving the available insurance proceeds, Landlord shall restore or replace the damaged or destroyed portions of the Premises, as improved to the extent of the Building Standard improvements existing immediately prior to such destruction or casualty, or Project; Tenant shall restore or replace the improvements to the Premises required to be insured by Tenant hereunder; and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof except for the abatement of Rent referred to above, if applicable, and except that the Term shall be extended by a length of time equal to the period beginning on the date of such damage or destruction and ending upon completion of such restoration or replacement. Landlord shall restore or replace the damaged or destroyed portions of the Premises or Project that Landlord is required to restore or replace hereunder within a reasonable time, subject to Force Majeure Events and the availability of insurance proceeds. If either party elects to terminate this Lease as provided in this Section, this Lease shall terminate on the date which is thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of termination as if the Term hereof had been scheduled to expire on such date, and, except for obligations which are expressly stated herein to survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, neither party shall have any liability to the other party as a result of such termination. Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage to Above Standard improvements or fixtures, Tenant’s inventory, trade fixtures or other personal property. If the Premises or any portion of the Project
13


are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty caused by the recklessness or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, or invitees, then any repair or restoration of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Premises or the Project on account of damage resulting from any casualty which occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, or if the estimated cost of such repair or restoration would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable value of the Building prior to the casualty. The abatement of Rent, if applicable hereunder, and termination of this Lease by Tenant, if applicable hereunder, are the sole remedies available to Tenant in the event the Premises or the Project is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty.

16.Condemnation. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises or if a substantial portion of the Building is taken by the power of eminent domain, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of taking; provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that the portion of the Premises or Building taken shall be of such extent and nature as to substantially impair Tenant’s use of the Premises or the balance of the Premises remaining and Landlord is unwilling or unable to provide reasonable replacement space within the Project. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation and awards with respect thereto, except for an award, if any, specified by the condemning authority for any claim made by Tenant for property that Tenant has the right to remove upon termination of this Lease. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Rent shall be equitably reduced as to the square footage so taken.

17.Waiver of Claims. Except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damage to person or property caused by defects in the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, elevator or other apparatus or systems, or by water discharged from sprinkler systems, if any, in the Building, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for the theft or loss of or damage to any property of Tenant whether from the Premises or any part of the Building or Project, including the loss of trade secrets or other confidential information. Landlord agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to protect Tenant from interference or disturbance by third persons, including other tenants; however, Landlord shall not be liable for any such interference, disturbance or breach, whether caused by another tenant or tenants or by Landlord or any other person, nor shall Tenant be relieved from any obligation under this Lease because of such interference, disturbance or breach. Landlord may comply with voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any governmental entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, provided that the Premises are not thereby rendered untenantable. In no event shall Landlord, Masaveu & C/O Management Real Estate US LLC, or their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees, or agents be liable in any manner for incidental, consequential or punitive damages, loss of profits, or business interruption. The waivers in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

18.Indemnity. Except for claims, rights of recovery and causes of action covered by the waiver of subrogation, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and invitees, from all claims, losses, costs, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with any injury to, including death of, any person or damage to any property arising, wholly or in part, out of any prohibited use of the Premises or other action, omission, or neglect of Tenant or its Outside Contractors, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, invitees, subtenants or guests, or any parties contracting with such party relating to the Project. If Landlord shall without fault on its part, be made a party to any action commenced by or against Tenant, for which Tenant is obligated to indemnify Landlord hereunder, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless from, and shall pay all costs, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of Landlord in connection therewith.

Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall not be limited by the amount or types of insurance maintained or required to be maintained under this Lease. The obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

14


19.Non-Waiver. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord to any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease shall be construed as or constitute a consent or waiver to any other breach by Tenant. Neither the acceptance by Landlord of any Rent or other payment, whether or not any Default by Tenant is then known to Landlord, nor any custom or practice followed in connection with this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Failure by Landlord to complain of any act or omission by Tenant or to declare that a Default has occurred, irrespective of how long such failure may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every obligation of Tenant in which time of performance is a factor. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than the Rent due shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment of the Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to its right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other right or remedy. Except for the execution and delivery of a written agreement expressly accepting surrender of the Premises, no act taken or failed to be taken by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of surrender of the Premises.

20.Quiet Possession. Provided Tenant has performed all its obligations, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease.

21.Notices. Each notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally delivered, sent via nationally recognized overnight courier or placed in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed in each case at the address specified herein. A notice shall be deemed to have been received (a) upon the date of delivery or refusal thereof, if delivered personally or by overnight courier, or (b) if sent by registered or certified mail, (i) the date of delivery of such notice, as indicated on the duly completed United States Postal Service return receipt, if such receipt reflects delivery of such notice, (ii) on the date of refusal of such notice, if the refused notice reflects the date on which such notice is refused, or (iii) three (3) days after mailing of such notice, if the date of delivery of such notice cannot otherwise be established as provided above. Prior to the Commencement Date, the address for notices to Tenant shall be the address set forth in Section 1; after the Commencement Date, the address for Tenant shall be the Premises. Any notices to Landlord shall be addressed and given to Landlord at the following address:

Brickell Key Centre, LLC
601 Brickell Key Drive, Suite 101
Miami, FL 33131
Attn: Managing Director

22.Landlord’s Failure to Perform. If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall not be in default and Tenant shall not have any rights or remedies growing out of such failure unless Tenant gives Landlord written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such failure and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of such notice or such longer period as may otherwise be provided herein. If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the length for curing shall be extended as reasonably required. In no event shall Tenant’s remedies for an alleged or actual failure of Landlord to perform its obligations under this Lease include the termination of this Lease.

23.Tenant’s Failure to Perform. If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, in addition to the other rights of Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform all or any part of Tenant’s obligations. Upon receipt of a demand therefor, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of performing such obligations.

24.Default. “Default” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following: (i) failure of Tenant to pay when due any Rent or other amount required to be paid hereunder, if such failure continues for more than five
(5) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with notice of such failure and the five (5) day period within which to cure such failure more than twice during the Term, and, at Landlord’s election, a subsequent failure to timely pay the Rent when due shall immediately constitute a Default hereunder; (ii) failure of Tenant, after thirty (30) days written notice, or such other notice period specified in this Lease, to observe and fully perform all of Tenant’s obligations
15


hereunder, other than payment of Rent which is covered above, except as otherwise provided below; (iii) the adjudication of Tenant to be bankrupt; (iv) the filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or other similar proceedings; (v) the making by Tenant of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (vi) the appointment of a receiver of Tenant’s interests in the Premises; (vii) any involuntary proceedings instituted against Tenant under any bankruptcy or similar laws, unless such is dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days thereafter; (viii) if the Tenant is an individual or if the Tenant is controlled by a single individual, the death or incapacity of such individual; (ix) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or other similar proceeding by any Guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, or if such Guarantor is an individual or controlled by a single individual, the death or incapacity of such individual; (x) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Guarantor, or any transaction involving the Guarantor which, if done by Tenant would constitute an assignment by Tenant hereunder, without the written consent of Landlord; or (xi) vacancy of the Premises for more than sixty (60) consecutive days. Notwithstanding any applicable notice and cure period provided above, Landlord shall not, with respect to the occurrence of any of the events described in subparts (ii) through (xi) above, be required to provide Tenant with notice of such failure and the cure period, if any, that would otherwise be applicable to such failure, more than twice during the Term for substantially the same failure, and, at Landlord’s election, a subsequent occurrence of substantially the same failure shall immediately constitute a Default hereunder.

Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may, at its option and without waiving any other rights available herein, at law, or in equity, require Tenant to pay Rent by (a) wire transfer of funds to an account designated by Landlord or (b) direct draft from Tenant’s account through bank draft, ACH transfer, or other equivalent funds transfer to Landlord’s designated account. Execution of this Lease by Tenant and Landlord shall be evidence of Landlord’s authorization to debit Tenant’s account as set forth herein. Tenant shall provide all necessary information and execute any additional documents requested by Landlord to facilitate payment of Rent by the method designated by Landlord. Tenant’s failure to provide such information or documents within five (5) days after written notice by Landlord shall constitute a Default hereunder.
Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may, at its option, without terminating this Lease, and with or without notice to Tenant, enter into and upon the Premises and, without being liable for any damages as a result thereof, maintain the Premises and repair or replace any damage to the Premises or do anything for which Tenant is responsible hereunder on Tenant’s behalf; and, in such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any expenses which Landlord incurs in effecting Tenant’s compliance under this Lease.

In addition, if a Default occurs, then or at any time thereafter while such Default continues, Landlord, at its option, may, without waiving any other rights available herein, at law, or in equity, either terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant’s right to possession without terminating this Lease. In either event, Landlord may, without additional notice and without court proceedings, reenter and repossess the Premises, and remove all persons and property therefrom using such force as may be necessary, and Tenant hereby waives any claim arising by reason thereof or by reason of issuance of any distress warrant and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from any such claims. If a Default occurs, Landlord may treat the Default as an entire breach of this Lease and Tenant immediately shall become liable to Landlord for damages for the entire breach in an amount equal to the total Rent and all other payments due for the balance of the Term discounted at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum to the then present value. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord may rent the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant to any person for such rent and for such terms and other conditions as Landlord deems practical, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the amount, if any, by which the total Rent and all other payments herein provided for the unexpired balance of the Term exceed the net amount, if any, received by Landlord from such re-renting, being the gross amount so received less the cost of repossession, re- renting, remodeling and other expenses relating thereto; Tenant shall be and remain liable for such net amount even after an eviction of Tenant from the Premises, should an eviction of Tenant from the Premises occur. Such sums shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant upon demand. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any rents received by Landlord from reletting the Premises, even if Landlord relets the Premises for an amount exceeding the Rent due from Tenant for the remainder of the unexpired Term. If a Default occurs or in case of any holding over or possession by Tenant of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and related costs. Actions by Landlord to collect amounts due from Tenant as provided in this Section may be brought at any time, and from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until the termination of this Lease. The remedies expressed herein are
16


cumulative and not exclusive, and the election by Landlord to terminate Tenant’s right to possession without terminating this Lease shall not deprive Landlord of the right, and Landlord shall have the continuing right, to terminate this Lease. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant all damages caused by Tenant’s Default and to pursue all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

25.Surrender. On the last day of the Term, or upon the earlier termination hereof, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly surrender the Premises to Landlord, in good order and repair, excepting only reasonable wear and tear resulting from normal use. The Premises shall be surrendered free of all items of Tenant’s personal property, and otherwise in the condition required by the terms of this Lease, and the Premises shall be free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances of any type.

26.Holding Over. If Tenant does not surrender possession of the Premises at the end of the Term or upon earlier termination of this Lease, at the election of Landlord, Tenant shall be a tenant-at-sufferance from day to day and the Rent due during the period of such holdover shall be two (2) times the amount which Tenant was obligated to pay for the immediately preceding month. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements to the Premises for a new tenant as a result of Tenant’s holdover, then Tenant shall be liable for all damages that Landlord suffers as a result of Tenant’s holding over in the Premises.

27.Removal of Tenant’s Property. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove all of Tenant’s removable trade fixtures, and other items of personal property from the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to the Premises or Project resulting from removal of any personal property, including Lines, of Tenant. If Tenant does not remove its property prior to termination, then, in addition to its other remedies at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to consider the property abandoned and such property may be removed by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, or at Landlord’s option become its property, and Tenant shall have no further rights relating thereto or for reimbursement therefor.
28.Landlord’s Lien. In addition to and cumulative of Landlord’s statutory lien, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in and to all furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, merchandise and other property placed in the Premises by Tenant to secure the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute and cause or permit to be filed in the appropriate public records all documents required to perfect such security interest pursuant to the terms of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the state where the Project is located.

29.Intentionally Omitted.

30.Assignment and Subletting. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, its rights and obligations hereunder whenever Landlord, in its sole judgment, deems it appropriate without any liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall attorn to any party to which Landlord transfers its rights and obligations hereunder or the Building. Any sale, conveyance or transfer of the Building or Project will operate to release Landlord from liability from and after the effective date of such sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment upon all of the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease, express or implied, except for those liabilities that arose prior to the effective date of such sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment. After such effective date, Tenant will look solely to Landlord’s successor in interest in and to this Lease.

Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber this Lease, or any interest herein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or permit any other party to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (i) the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s financial responsibility or insurance does not meet the same criteria Landlord uses to select comparable Building tenants; (ii) the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s business is not suitable for the Building considering the business of the other tenants and the Building’s prestige; (iii) the proposed use is inconsistent with the Authorized Use permitted by Section 3; or (iv) the proposed subtenant or assignee is an occupant of the Building, or if the proposed subtenant or assignee, whether or not an occupant of the Building, is in discussions with Landlord regarding the leasing of space within the Building. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed assignment or subletting of any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall timely pay Landlord’s review and processing fee of $750.00 (“Sublease/Assignment Processing Fee”) in addition to any
17


reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, legal, architectural, engineering, and consulting fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such proposed assignment or subletting (“Sublease/Assignment Professional Fees”). The Sublease/Assignment Processing Fee shall be paid by Tenant simultaneously with each request by Tenant to assign or sublease any portion of the Premises. The Sublease/Assignment Professional Fees shall, at Landlord’s option, be paid by Tenant (a) prior to Landlord’s denial or execution of a consent to the proposed assignment or subletting or (b) within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice from Landlord for such fees. Any subletting of the Premises or assignment of the Lease by Tenant in violation of the provisions of this Section 38 shall constitute a Default.

A “Change in Control” of Tenant shall be deemed for purposes of this Lease to constitute an assignment of this Lease by Tenant which shall require the consent of Landlord and entitle Landlord to exercise its options as provided hereunder. As used in this Section, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred when: (x) any person, after the date hereof, acquires directly or indirectly the Beneficial Ownership (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any voting interests or equity interests of Tenant or Guarantor, if applicable, and immediately after such acquisition such person is, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of voting or equity interests representing 50% or more of the total voting interest or equity interest of all of the then- outstanding equity interests or voting interests of Tenant or Guarantor, if applicable; (y) the stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders of Tenant or Guarantor, if applicable, shall approve a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or reorganization of Tenant, or consummation of any such transaction if equity holder approval is not sought or obtained; or (z) the stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders of Tenant or Guarantor, if applicable, shall approve a plan of complete liquidation of Tenant or Guarantor, if applicable, or an agreement for the sale or disposition by Tenant or Guarantor, if applicable, of all or a substantial portion of such entity’s assets (i.e., 50% or more of the total assets of such entity).

If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord notice in writing at least sixty (60) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires such assignment or sublease to take effect. Tenant’s notice shall include (A) the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (B) the nature of the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s business it will operate in the Premises; (C) the terms of the proposed sublease or assignment; and (D) reasonable financial information so that Landlord can evaluate the proposed subtenant or assignee. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving such information, give notice to the Tenant to (i) permit or deny the proposed sublease or assignment or (ii) terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as of the date specified in Tenant’s notice (and as to option (ii) only, Tenant will be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to the terminated space). If Landlord does not give notice within the thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the sublease or assignment upon the terms provided in Tenant’s notice.

Notwithstanding an assignment or subletting (i) subleases and assignments by Tenant shall be subject to the terms of this Lease; (ii) Tenant shall remain liable for all of the obligations of “Tenant” under this Lease; (iii) consent to one sublease or assignment does not waive the consent requirement for future assignments or subleases; and (iv) consideration received by Tenant from an assignment or sublease that exceeds the amount Tenant must pay Landlord hereunder, excluding reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant, payments attributable to the amortization of the cost of improvements made to the Premises at Tenant’s cost for the assignee or sublessee, and other reasonable, out- of-pocket costs paid by Tenant directly related to Tenant’s obtaining an assignee or sublessee, shall also be paid to Landlord. Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord at the beginning of each calendar month. Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant’s books and records to verify the accuracy of the payments under this Section. If Tenant has sublet the Premises, and thereafter a Default occurs hereunder, Landlord may proceed to collect any rent thereafter becoming due to Tenant under the sublease directly from the subtenant; in which event such collected rent shall be applied by Landlord to the Rent due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder; provided, however, that the collection of rent from Tenant’s subtenant shall not create a privity of contract between Landlord and such subtenant.

If the proposed sublessee or assignee is approved by Landlord and Tenant fails to enter into the sublease or assignment with the approved sublessee or assignee within ninety (90) days after the date Tenant submitted its proposal to Landlord, then Landlord’s approval shall expire, and Tenant must comply again with the conditions of this Section. Notwithstanding the giving by Landlord of its consent to any sublease or assignment with respect to the
18


Premises, no sublessee or assignee may exercise any renewal options, expansion options, rights of first refusal or similar rights except in accordance with a separate written agreement entered into directly between the Landlord and such sublessee or assignee provided Tenant continues to be liable for the performance of all obligations hereunder, as increased or otherwise affected by the exercise of such rights. Tenant may not exercise any renewal options, expansion options, rights of first refusal or similar rights under this Lease if Tenant has assigned all of its interest in this Lease.

31.Merger of Estates. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation hereof, shall not work a merger, but shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant’s interest in such subleases or subtenancies.

32.Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s sole and exclusive method of collecting on any judgment Tenant obtains against Landlord, or any other award made to Tenant in any judicial process requiring the payment of money by Landlord for the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations, shall be to proceed against the interests of Landlord in and to the Project. Therefore, Tenant hereby agrees that no personal or corporate liability of any kind or character whatsoever now attaches or at any time hereafter under any condition shall attach to Landlord for payment or performance of any obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any Landlord indemnity obligations under Section 26. The obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

41.Subordination. The rights and interests of Tenant under this Lease and in and to the Premises shall be subject and subordinate to all easements and recorded restrictions, covenants, and agreements pertaining to the Project, or any part thereof, and to all deeds of trust, mortgages, and other security instruments and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof (the “Security Documents”) heretofore or hereafter executed by Landlord covering the Premises, the Building or any part of the Project, to the same extent as if the Security Documents had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution of this Lease. After Tenant’s receipt of a notice from Landlord that it has entered into one or more Security Documents, then, during the term of such Security Documents, Tenant shall deliver to the holder or holders of all Security Documents a copy of all notices to Landlord and shall grant to such holder or holders the right to cure all defaults, if any, of Landlord hereunder within the same time period provided in this Lease for curing such defaults by Landlord and, except with the prior written consent of the holder or holders of the Security Documents, shall not surrender or terminate this Lease except pursuant to a right to terminate expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall attorn to any holder of any Security Documents or its successor in interest by foreclosure or otherwise. The provisions of this subsection shall be self-operative and shall not require further agreement by Tenant; however, at the request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute such further documents as may be required by the holder of any Security Documents. At any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Landlord a written estoppel certificate certifying: (i) the Rentable Area of the Premises, (ii) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of this Lease, (iii) the Base Rent, Base Year and Additional Rent, (iv) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications, (v) whether or not the Landlord is in default in the keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default, (vi) that Tenant has unconditionally accepted and occupied the Premises, (vii) that all requirements of the Lease have been complied with and no charges, set-offs or other credits exist against any rentals, (viii) that Tenant has not assigned, pledged, sublet, or otherwise transferred any interest in this Lease; and (ix) such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request, it being intended that any such statement may be relied upon by Landlord, any prospective purchaser, mortgagee or assignee of any mortgage of the Building or the Project or of the Landlord’s interest therein.

42.Legal Interpretation. This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state where the Project is located. The determination that any provision of this Lease is invalid, void, illegal, or unenforceable shall not affect or invalidate the remainder. All obligations of the parties requiring any performance after the expiration of the Term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and shall be fully enforceable in accordance with those provisions pertaining thereto. If Tenant consists of two or more parties, then all
19


parties comprising the Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of Tenant hereunder. Should any provisions of this Lease require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms of any such provision shall be more strictly construed against one party or the other by reason of a rule of construction that a document is to be construed most strictly against the party who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of both parties hereto have participated in the preparation of this Lease.

43.Use of Names and Signage. Tenant shall not have the right to use the name of the Project or Building except in connection with Tenant’s address, and then such terms cannot be emphasized or displayed with more prominence than the rest of such address. Landlord shall have the right to change the name of the Building or Project whenever Landlord in its sole judgment deems appropriate without any consent of or liability to Tenant. Any signage of Tenant within its Premises is subject to the prior written approval of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided in all cases, Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring that such signage complies with all applicable Laws and for all costs and expenses relating to any such signage, including, without limitation, design, installation, any operating costs, maintenance, cleaning, repair and removal. Tenant shall be obligated to pay the cost and expense of repairing any damage associated with the removal of any such signage. Tenant shall have no right to place any signage outside the Premises, on the exterior of the Building or elsewhere in the Project.

44.Relocation. Landlord reserves the right to relocate the Premises to reasonably comparable space within the Project. Landlord will give Tenant written notice of its intention to relocate the Premises, and Tenant will complete such relocation within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice. Upon relocation, this Lease will be amended by deleting the description of the original Premises and substituting for it a description of such new space.

i.a copy of the final Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises, or such other certificate of occupancy as will permit Tenant to occupy and use the Premises;

ii.an AIA-approved completion certificate executed by Contractor, and an AIA-approved application for payment executed by the Architect, both in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or substitutes for such documents that are reasonably acceptable to Landlord;

c.After the Improvement Allowance has been expended by Landlord, the principal amount of the Improvement Allowance, together with interest thereon calculated at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, compounded monthly, shall be amortized evenly over the Term, and so long as
D-4


Tenant does not default in its monetary obligations under the Lease, and fail to cure such default within the applicable period of cure, if any, provided under this Lease, then the balance of the Improvement Allowance shall be reduced each month by the principal amount amortized each month, and upon Landlord’s receipt of the final payment of Rent due during the initial Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for the repayment of any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the interest that accrued and was amortized over the initial Term of this Lease. In the event of an uncured Default by Tenant under this Lease, then in addition to all of Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease, Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for the entire unreduced principal balance of the Improvement Allowance remaining as of the date of default.
