1. Business Description

G1 Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of patients with cancer. The Company was incorporated on May 19, 2008 in the state of Delaware.

The Company is advancing three clinical-stage programs. Trilaciclib is a first-in-class therapy designed to improve outcomes for patients who are treated with chemotherapy. Rintodestrant is a potential best-in-class oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Lerociclib is a differentiated oral CDK4/6 inhibitor designed to enable more effective combination treatment strategies across multiple oncology indications, including ER+, HER2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. The Company also has intellectual property focused on cyclin-dependent kinase targets.

Trilaciclib, the Company’s most advanced clinical-stage candidate, is a first-in-class therapy designed to preserve bone marrow and immune system function during chemotherapy and improve patient outcomes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for trilaciclib based on myelopreservation data from three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled small cell lung cancer (SCLC) clinical trials, as well as safety data collected across all completed and ongoing clinical trials. The Breakthrough Therapy program is designed to expedite development and review of drugs intended for serious or life-threatening conditions. In June 2020, the Company submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for trilaciclib in small cell lung cancer to the FDA. The Company entered into a three-year co-promotion agreement for trilaciclib in the United States and Puerto Rico with Boehringer Ingelheim in June 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, G1 will book revenue in the United States and Puerto Rico and retain development and commercialization rights to trilaciclib. G1 will lead marketing, market access and medical engagement initiatives; Boehringer Ingelheim will lead sales force engagements. The agreement is limited to support for small cell lung cancer. In addition, discussions with European regulatory authorities have indicated existing data is sufficient to support a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for trilaciclib for myelopreservation in SCLC, which the Company plans to pursue in collaboration with a partner. In September 2019, the Company presented updated data from a randomized Phase 2 trial of trilaciclib in combination with chemotherapy in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). The results of the trial demonstrated significant improvement in overall survival, or (OS) (preliminary). Though the trial did not meet the primary myelopreservation endpoints, patients receiving trilaciclib were able to receive approximately 50% more cycles of chemotherapy, without additional hematological toxicity. These data were presented at the 2019 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress and were concurrently published in The Lancet Oncology. In January 2020, the Company announced that trilaciclib is being included in a new randomized, investigational treatment arm for the ongoing I-SPY 2 TRIAL™ for neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced breast cancer. The trial, which was initiated in the second quarter of 2020, and run by the non-profit Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative, is designed to rapidly screen promising experimental treatments and identify those most effective in specific patient subgroups based on molecular characteristics (biomarker signatures). The Company is planning to initiate a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial of trilaciclib in colorectal cancer in the fourth quarter of 2020. In August 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Nanjing Simcere Dongyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Simcere”) for development and commercialization rights for trilaciclib in all indications in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive an upfront payment of $14.0 million and be eligible to receive up to $156.0 million in development and commercial milestone payments. Simcere will also pay the Company tiered low double-digit royalties on annual net sales of trilaciclib in Greater China. As part of this agreement, Simcere will participate in global clinical trials of trilaciclib and the companies will be responsible for all development and commercialization costs in their respective territories.

The Company is developing rintodestrant, a potential best-in-class oral SERD, as a monotherapy and in combination with the CDK4/6 inhibitors, initially Ibrance® (palbociclib), for the treatment of ER+ breast cancer. In 2018, the Company initiated a Phase 1/2a (dose escalation/dose expansion) clinical trial in ER+, HER2- breast cancer. Preliminary data from the Phase 1 potion of this trial were presented at the 2019 ESMO Congress, showing that rintodestrant was well tolerated and demonstrated evidence of anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated patients. The Company has completed enrollment of the dose escalation and dose expansion portions of the trial, and based on these findings the Company plans to advance an 800 mg dose of rintodestrant in future trials. The Company plans to present additional safety and efficacy data from this trial in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company initiated enrollment of patients receiving rintodestrant in combination with palbociclib in the second quarter of 2020. Palbociclib is being provided under a non-exclusive clinical supply agreement that was signed with Pfizer in February 2020.

Lerociclib is a differentiated oral CDK4/6 inhibitor being developed for use in combination with other targeted therapies in multiple oncology indications, including ER+, HER2- breast cancer. The Company reported encouraging updated results from its Phase 1/2 trial in ER+, HER2- breast cancer (in combination with fulvestrant) at the 2019 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The Company also initiated a Phase 1b combination trial with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, Tagrisso® (osimertinib) in non-small cell lung cancer. Initial safety and tolerability data from this trial were presented at the 2019 ESMO Congress. In 2020, the Company entered into separate, exclusive agreements with EQRx, Inc. (rights for U.S., Europe, Japan and all markets outside Asia-Pacific) and Genor Biopharma Co. Inc. (rights for Asia-Pacific, excluding Japan) for the development and commercialization of lerociclib in all indications. Combined, these agreements provide $26.0 million in upfront payments to the Company, and up to $330.0 million in potential milestone payments, plus sales-based royalties. EQRx, Inc. and Genor Biopharma Co. Inc. are responsible for all costs related to the development and commercialization of lerociclib in their respective territories.

The Company also entered into an exclusive license agreement with ARC Therapeutics, LLC (“ARC”), a company primarily owned by a related party, in May 2020. The Company granted ARC an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license of its CDK2 inhibitor compounds in exchange for an upfront payment and equity in ARC with a total value of approximately $2.1 million, which resulted in the recognition of related party revenue as discussed in Note 10. The Company is entitled to receive an additional milestone payment and sales-based royalties, and has right of first negotiation to re-acquire these assets.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The information presented in the condensed financial statements and related notes as of June 30, 2020, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, is unaudited. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020, (collectively, “2019 Form 10-K”). The December 31, 2019 condensed balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates its estimates which include, but are not limited to, estimates related to accrued expenses, accrued external clinical costs, stock-based compensation expense and deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market specific or other relevant assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

For elements of those arrangements that we determine should be accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), we assess which activities in our license or collaboration agreements are performance obligations that should be accounted for separately and determine the transaction price of the arrangement, which includes the assessment of the probability of achievement of future milestones and other potential consideration. For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, such as granting a license or performing manufacturing or research and development activities, we allocate the transaction price based on the relative standalone selling price and recognize revenue that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) control is transferred to the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied. Accordingly, we develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. These key assumptions may include revenue forecasts, clinical development timelines and costs, discount rates and probabilities of clinical and regulatory success.

Licenses of intellectual property

If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue associated with the bundled performance obligation. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of progress and related revenue recognition.

Milestone Payments

At the inception of each arrangement that includes developmental and regulatory milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the achievement of each milestone specifically relates to the Company’s efforts to satisfy a performance obligation or transfer a distinct good or service within a performance obligation. The Company evaluates each milestone to determine when and how much of the milestone to include in the transaction price. The Company first estimates the amount of the milestone payment that the Company could receive using either the expected value or the most likely amount approach. The Company primarily uses the most likely amount approach as that approach is generally most predictive for milestone payments with a binary outcome. Then, the Company considers whether any portion of that estimated amount is subject to the variable consideration constraint (that is, whether it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur upon resolution of the uncertainty). The Company updates the estimate of variable consideration included in the transaction price at each reporting date which includes updating the assessment of the likely amount of consideration and the application of the constraint to reflect current facts and circumstances.

Royalties

For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company will recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, the Company has not recognized any revenue related to sales-based royalties or milestone payments based on the level of sales.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Company’s research and development activities and include salaries and related employee benefits, manufacturing of pharmaceutical active ingredients and drug products, costs associated with clinical trials, nonclinical activities, regulatory activities, research-related overhead expenses and fees paid to expert consultants, external service providers and contract research organizations which conduct certain research and development activities on behalf of the Company. Costs incurred in the research and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred.

Each reporting period, management estimated and accrued research and development expenses, including external clinical study costs associated with clinical trial activities. The process of estimating and accruing expenses involves reviewing contracts and purchase orders, identifying services that have been provided on the Company’s behalf, and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when the Company has not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual costs.

Costs for clinical trial activities were estimated based on an evaluation of vendors’ progress towards completion of specific tasks, using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or information provided by vendors regarding their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of individual contracts and payment timing may differ significantly from the period in which the services were performed. The Company determines accrual estimates through reports from and discussions with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress or state of completion of trials, or the services completed. The estimates of accrued external clinical study costs as of each balance sheet date are based on the facts and circumstances known at the time.

Income Taxes

The Company did not record a federal or state income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to its conclusion that a full valuation allowance is required against the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company reflects in the financial statements the benefit of positions taken in a previously filed tax return or expected to be taken in a future tax return only when it is considered ‘more-likely-than-not’ that the position taken will be sustained by a taxing authority. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits and correspondingly there is no impact on the Company’s effective income tax rate associated with these items. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties relating to uncertain income tax positions is to record them as a component of income tax expense in the accompanying statements of operations. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no such accruals.

Stock-Based Compensation

The primary type of stock-based payments utilized by the Company are stock options. The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for all equity awards granted based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. The fair value of each employee stock option is estimated on the date of grant using an options pricing model. The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of its share-based payments. The model requires management to make a number of assumptions including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the related debt based on the effective interest method. In accordance with ASC 835, Interest, we present debt issuance costs on the condensed balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact on Operations

The Company has implemented business continuity plans to address the COVID-19 pandemic and minimize disruptions to ongoing operations. Initiation of two clinical trials, the rintodestrant/palbociclib combination trial and the I-SPY 2 trial, began in the second quarter of 2020 as scheduled. Initial enrollment of these trials is likely to be impacted by COVID-19. The Company does not anticipate significant supply chain delays or shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). The FASB issued ASU 2018-15 to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud-based hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 became effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the prospective method of adoption, and the adoption did not have a material impact to the financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company provides disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements may be classified based on the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities using the following three levels:

Level 1

Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2

Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

5. Patent License Agreement

On November 23, 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement with the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois (“the University”), which was amended on March 24, 2017. Pursuant to the license agreement, as amended, the University licensed patent rights to the Company, with rights of sublicense, to make, have made, use, import, sell and offer for sale products covered by certain patent rights owned by the University. The rights licensed to the Company are exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable rights, for all fields of use. Under the terms of the agreement the Company paid a one-time only, non-refundable license issue fee in the amount of $0.5 million which was charged to research and development expense in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The Company is also obligated to pay annual maintenance fees to the University. All annual minimum payments are fully creditable against any royalty payments made by the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company must pay the University a royalty percentage on all net sales of products and a share of sublicensing revenues. In addition, the University is eligible to receive milestone payments of up to $2.6 million related to the initiation and execution of clinical trials and the first commercial sale of a product in another country. To date, the Company has made milestone payments totaling $0.6 million, of which $0 million was incurred during the current quarter. The Company will be responsible for any future patent prosecution costs that may arise.

The term of the license agreement will continue until the later of (i) the expiration of the last valid claim within the patent rights covering the product in such country, (ii) the expiration of market exclusivity in such country and (iii) the 10th anniversary of the first commercial sale in such country. The University may terminate the agreement in the event (i) the Company fails to pay any amount or make any report when required to be made and fails to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the University, (ii) is in breach of any provision of the agreement and fails to remedy within forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice, (iii) makes a report to the University under the agreement that is determined to be materially false, (iv) declares insolvency or bankruptcy or (v) takes an action that causes patent rights or technical information to be subject to lien or encumbrance and fails to remedy any such breach within forty-five (45) days of receipt of notice from the University. The Company may terminate the agreement at any time on written notice to the University at least ninety (90) days prior to the termination date specified in the notice. Upon expiration or termination of the agreement, all rights revert to the University.

6. Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses are comprised as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019

Accrued external research	$	2,206	$	2,737

7. Loan Payable

On May 29, 2020, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), under which Hercules has agreed to lend the Company up to $100.0 million, to be made available in a series of tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions. The first tranche totals $30.0 million, of which the Company received $20.0 million at closing. Upon satisfaction of certain milestones, the second tranche of $20.0 million will become available to the Company for drawdown through December 15, 2021. The third tranche of $30.0 million will be available based on the Company’s maintenance of specified covenants through December 31, 2022. The fourth tranche of $20.0 million will be available at Hercules’ approval through December 31, 2022.

Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement will bear an interest rate equal to the greater of either (i) (a) the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal, plus (b) 6.40%, and (ii) 9.65%. The Company will make interest only payments through June 1, 2022. The interest only period may be extended through January 1, 2023 upon satisfaction of certain milestones. Following the interest only period, the Company will repay the principal balance and interest of the advances in equal monthly installments through June 1, 2024.

The Company may prepay advances under the Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time subject to a prepayment charge equal to (a) 3.0% of the prepayment amount in the first year; (b) 2.0% of the prepayment amount in the second year; and (b) 1.0% of the prepayment amount in the third year.

Upon prepayment or repayment of all or any of the advances under the Loan Agreement, the Company will pay (in addition to the prepayment charge) an end of term charge of 6.95% of the aggregate funded amount. With respect to the first tranche, the end of term charge of $2.1 million will be payable upon any prepayment or repayment. To the extent that the Company is provided additional advances under the Loan Agreement, the 6.95% end of term charge will be applied to such additional amounts. These amounts will be accrued over the term of the loan using effective-interest method.

The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including intellectual property, subject to certain exemptions. The Company is permitted to out-license lerociclib in arms-length transactions and the Company is permitted to out-license rintodestrant upon approval of the licensing terms by Hercules.

The Company incurred financing expenses of $0.4 million related to the Loan Agreement which are recorded as debt issuance costs and as a direct reduction to long-term debt on the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet. Additionally, the Company is treating a portion of the upfront facility fee that related to the initial $20.0 million drawn as a debt discount and treating it in the same way as debt issuance costs. The remainder of the facility fee is related to future undrawn tranches and is accounted for as a deferred financing charge.

Upon issuance, the first tranche was recorded as a liability with an initial carrying value of $19.4 million, net of debt discount and debt issuance costs. The initial carrying value will be accreted to the repayment amount, which includes the outstanding principal plus the end of term charge, through interest expense using the effective-interest method over the term of the debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $0.3 million of interest expense related to the Loan Agreement, which is reflected in other income (expense), net on the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2020 the future principal payments due under the Loan Agreement, excluding interest, are as follows:

	Amount

Remainder of 2020	$	—

9. Stock-Based Compensation

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

In March 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan provided for the direct award or sale of the Company’s common stock and for the grant of stock options to employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors of the Company. The 2011 Plan was subsequently amended in August 2012, October 2013, February 2015, December 2015, April 2016 and November 2016 to allow for the issuance of additional shares of common stock. In connection with the adoption of the 2017 Plan (as defined below), the 2011 Plan was terminated and no further awards will be made under the 2011 Plan.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

In May 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan provided for the direct award or sale of the Company’s common stock and for the grant of up to 1,932,000 stock options to employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors of the Company. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options or restricted stock. Effective January 1, 2020, and in accordance with the “evergreen” provision of the 2017 plan, an additional 1,096,553 shares were made available for issuance.

Under both the 2011 Plan and the 2017 Plan, options to purchase the Company’s common stock may be granted at a price no less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The fair value shall be the closing sales price for a share as quoted on any established securities exchange for such grant date or the last preceding date for which such quotation exists. Vesting terms of options issued are determined by the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of the Board. The Company’s stock options vest based on terms in the stock option agreements. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years.

As of June 30, 2020, there were a total of 1,239,003 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan.

Stock Option Expense

The Company recognizes compensation costs related to stock options granted to employees based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant, net of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of the stock-based awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective awards. Share-based awards granted to non-employee directors as compensation for serving on the Company’s Board of Directors are accounted for in the same manner as employee share-based compensation awards.

The Company calculates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, the

assumed dividend yield, the expected term of the Company’s stock options and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Stock options— Black-Scholes inputs

The fair value of stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020	2019	2020		2019

Expected volatility	78.5 - 79.7%	74.2 - 77.0%	74.8 - 79.7%		74.2 - 82.1%
Weighted-average risk free rate	0.4%	1.9 - 2.4%	0.4 - 1.7%		1.9 - 2.6%
Dividend yield	—%	—%	—%		—%
Expected term (in years)	5.68	5.82		6.01	6.0

10. License Revenue

ARC License Agreement

On May 22, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with ARC Therapeutics, LLC (“ARC”), a company primarily owned by a related party, whereby G1 granted to ARC an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense, solely to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, export, and commercialize products related to its cyclin dependent kinase 2 (“CDK2”) inhibitor compounds. At close, G1 received consideration in the form of an upfront payment of $1.0 million and an equity interest in ARC equal to 10% of its issued and outstanding units. In addition, the Company may receive a future development milestone payment totaling $2.0 million and royalty payments in the mid-single digits based on net sales of the licensed compound after commercialization. The Company has right of first negotiation to re-acquire these assets.

The Company assessed the license agreement in accordance with ASC 606 and identified one performance obligation in the contract, which is the transfer of the license, as ARC can benefit from the license using its own resources. The Company recognized $2.1 million in license revenue consisting of the upfront payment and the 10% equity interest in ARC upon the effective date as the Company determined the license was a right to use the intellectual property and the Company had provided all necessary information to ARC to benefit from the license.

The Company considers the future potential development milestones and sales-based royalties to be variable consideration. The development milestone is excluded from the transaction price because it determined the payment to be fully constrained under ASC 606 due to the inherent uncertainty in the achievement of such milestone due to factors outside of the Company’s control. As sales-based royalties are all related to the license of the intellectual property, the Company will recognize revenue in the period when subsequent sales are made pursuant to the sales-based royalty exception. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had received the upfront cash payment and the equity interest, and there are no contract assets or liabilities related to this agreement.

Genor License Agreement

On June 15, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Genor Biopharma Co. Inc. (“Genor”) for the development and commercialization of lerociclib in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan (the “Licensed Territory”). Under the license agreement, the Company granted to Genor an exclusive, royalty-bearing, non-transferable license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to develop, obtain, hold and maintain regulatory approvals for, and commercialize lerociclib, in the Licensed Territory.

Under the license agreement, Genor agreed to pay the Company a non-refundable, upfront cash payment of $6.0 million with the potential to pay an additional $40.0 million upon reaching certain development and commercial milestones. In addition, Genor will pay the Company tiered royalties ranging from high single to low double-digits based on annual net sales of lerociclib in the Licensed Territory. The upfront cash payment is payable within 30 days of the effective date of the license agreement. In return, the Company will furnish to Genor the related know-how that is necessary to develop, seek regulatory approval for, or commercialize lerociclib in the Licensed Territory. Genor will be responsible for the development of product in the Licensed Territory and will be responsible, at its sole cost, for obtaining supply of lerociclib to meet its development, regulatory approval for, and commercialization obligations under the agreement.

The Company assessed the license agreement in accordance with ASC 606 and identified the following promises under the contract: (i) to transfer the license, (ii) technology transfer and the transfer of related know-how to occur within 60 days of the effective date of the license agreement, and (iii) the sale and delivery of certain existing inventory specified in the agreement. The Company assessed the promised goods and services to determine if they are distinct. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that Genor cannot benefit from the license separate from the technology transfer and related know-how as they are highly interrelated and therefore not distinct. Accordingly, the transfer of the license and the related know-how represent one combined performance obligation.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined the transaction price at contract inception. The Company considers the future potential development and sales milestones, as well as the sales-based royalties to be variable consideration. The Company excluded the regulatory-based development and sales milestones from the transaction price because it determined such payments to be fully constrained under ASC 606 due to the inherent uncertainty in the achievement of such milestone payments and are highly susceptible to factors outside our control. As the sales-based royalties are all related to the license of the intellectual property, the Company will recognize revenue in the period when subsequent sales are made pursuant to the sales-based royalty exception. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. Based on the foregoing, the Company determined that the $6.0 million non-refundable, upfront payment and the $0.6 million owed upon the delivery of existing inventory constituted the entirety of consideration to be included in the transaction price.

The Company then allocated the transaction price to the performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct obligation. The Company determined the stand-alone selling prices to equal the amounts paid for each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized for each performance obligation based at a point in time in which control has been transferred. The performance obligation for the transfer of the license and related technology and know-how does not occur until the delivery of the related know-how has been satisfied. As of June 30, 2020, this performance obligation has not been satisfied and therefore revenue has not been recognized. The transfer of the license’s related technology and know-how is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2020. In addition, the delivery of the existing inventory is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2020, at which point revenue will be recognized. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had not received the upfront cash payment.

11. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period including nominal issuances of common stock warrants. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, the weighted average number of potential shares of common stock, including the assumed exercise of stock options, stock warrants and unvested restricted common stock. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 the following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
	(unaudited)				(unaudited)
Stock options issued and outstanding		6,657,569		5,212,276		6,463,895		5,184,331

Amounts in the table above reflect the common stock equivalents of the noted instrument.

12. Related party transactions

The Company maintained a consulting agreement with a member of the Board of Directors for scientific advisory services outside of his role on the Board of Directors that expired on June 30, 2020. Effective July 1, 2020, the Company renewed its agreement with the member of the Board of Directors for scientific, clinical and regulatory advisory services outside of his role on the Board of Directors through June 30, 2021.

The Company granted an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license of its CDK2 inhibitor compounds to ARC Therapeutics, LLC (“ARC”), a company primarily owned by a related party, in exchange for cash and equity in ARC with a total value of approximately $2.1 million, which resulted in the recognition of related party revenue as discussed in Note 10.

13. Subsequent events

On July 22, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive, royalty-bearing license agreement with EQRx, Inc. to develop and commercialize lerociclib in the U.S., Europe, Japan and all other global markets, excluding the Asia-Pacific region (except Japan). The Company will receive an upfront cash payment of $20.0 million and will be eligible to receive development and commercial milestone payments of up to $290.0 million, plus tiered royalties ranging from mid-single digits to mid-teens based on annual net sales of lerociclib.

In August 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Nanjing Simcere Dongyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Simcere”) for development and commercialization rights for trilaciclib in all indications in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive an upfront payment of $14.0 million and be eligible to receive up to $156.0 million in development and commercial milestone payments. Simcere will also pay the Company tiered low double-digit royalties on annual net sales of trilaciclib in Greater China. As part of this agreement, Simcere will participate in global clinical trials of trilaciclib and the companies will be responsible for all development and commercialization costs in their respective territories.

Trilaciclib: preserving bone marrow and immune system function during chemotherapy and improving patient outcomes

Chemotherapy is an effective and important weapon against cancer. However, chemotherapy does not differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells and kills both, including important stem cells in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, or HSPCs) that produce white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, and immune cells. This chemotherapy-induced bone marrow damage is known as myelosuppression. When white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets become depleted, chemotherapy patients are at increased risk of infection, experience anemia and fatigue, and are at increased risk of bleeding. Myelosuppression often requires the administration of rescue interventions such as growth factors and blood or platelet transfusions and may also result in chemotherapy dose delays and reductions. Immune cell damage may decrease the ability of the immune system to fight the cancer, as well as infection.

Trilaciclib is a first-in-class therapy designed to preserve bone marrow and immune system function during chemotherapy and improve patient outcomes. Our randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that trilaciclib can provide myelopreservation benefits (i.e. reduction of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression effects) and, in certain settings, trilaciclib has the potential to improve survival. It is a short-acting CDK4/6 inhibitor that is administered intravenously prior to chemotherapy.

In preclinical studies, administration of trilaciclib prior to chemotherapy has been shown to induce transient cell-cycle arrest of HSPCs, protect HSPCs from chemotherapy-induced damage, preserve bone marrow and immune system function, protect against bone marrow exhaustion, improve complete blood counts (CBC) recovery, prevent myeloid skewing and consequent lymphopenia, and enhance T-cell effector function in the tumor microenvironment.

Following evaluation of trilaciclib in a Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers, we initiated two Phase 1b/2 trials in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC); one in a first-line setting (in combination with carboplatin/etoposide) and the other in a second/third-line setting (in combination with topotecan). Enrollment in both trials has been completed and preliminary data from the open label Phase 1b segment were reported in 2016 and 2017. In the Phase 1b segments of these two trials, we treated 51 patients with over 250 cycles of trilaciclib and chemotherapy. There were no episodes of febrile neutropenia – one of the most common adverse consequences of these chemotherapy regimens. Further, there were no drug-related serious adverse events reported during the Phase 1b segments of these two trials. There were some adverse events reported involving fatigue and cytopenias, but those adverse events were less severe and less frequent than those generally reported in trials involving the use of chemotherapy alone.

Based on these encouraging preliminary data, we advanced both SCLC trials into the randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 2 segment. Enrollment in the first-line SCLC Phase 2 trial was completed in the second quarter of 2017 and positive multi-lineage myelopreservation results were reported in March 2018, with additional data reported at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2018 Congress and published in Annals of Oncology in 2019. Enrollment in the second-/third-line SCLC Phase 2 trial was completed in the second quarter of 2018, with positive multi-lineage myelopreservation data reported in the fourth quarter of 2018 and full data presented at an oral session at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2019 Annual Meeting.

Our third trial in SCLC was initiated in 2017, as part of our non-exclusive collaboration with Genentech, with the goal of exploring the use of trilaciclib in combination with chemotherapy and a checkpoint inhibitor. The trial was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 2 trial of trilaciclib in combination with Tecentriq® (atezolizumab)/carboplatin/etoposide in first-line SCLC patients. We completed enrollment in February 2018 and reported positive multi-lineage myelopreservation data in November 2018. Additional data, including myelopreservation and anti-tumor efficacy findings (as measured by overall survival, or “OS”), were reported at the 2019 ESMO Congress.

All three SCLC trials demonstrated that trilaciclib, when added to standard of care chemotherapy or chemotherapy/checkpoint inhibitor regimens, prevents or mitigates clinically significant chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for trilaciclib based on myelopreservation data from our three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled SCLC clinical trials, as well as safety data collected across all completed and ongoing clinical trials. The Breakthrough Therapy program is designed to expedite development and review of drugs intended for serious or life-threatening conditions. Based on written feedback from our pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meeting with the FDA, we began a rolling NDA submission for trilaciclib for myelopreservation in SCLC in the fourth quarter of 2019. The NDA submission was completed in June 2020. Discussions with European regulatory authorities have indicated existing data is sufficient to support a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for trilaciclib for myelopreservation in SCLC, which we plan to pursue in collaboration with a partner.

Trilaciclib is also being evaluated in patients with breast cancer. In 2017, we initiated a randomized Phase 2 trial of trilaciclib in patients with first-/second-/third-line metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) receiving gemcitabine and carboplatin. Enrollment was completed in the second quarter of 2018. At the December 2018 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), we presented preliminary trilaciclib data demonstrating improvement in progression-free survival (PFS). In September 2019, we presented updated data demonstrating significant improvement in OS (preliminary). Though the trial did not meet the primary myelopreservation endpoints, patients receiving trilaciclib were able to receive approximately 50% more cycles of chemotherapy, without additional hematological toxicity. These data were presented at the 2019 ESMO Congress, and were concurrently published in The Lancet Oncology. In January 2020, we announced that trilaciclib will be included in a new randomized, investigational treatment arm for the ongoing I-SPY 2 TRIAL™ for neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced breast cancer. The trial, run by the non-profit Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative, is designed to rapidly screen promising experimental treatments and identify those most effective in specific patient subgroups based on molecular characteristics (biomarker signatures). This trial was initiated in the second quarter of 2020.

As part of our strategy to evaluate the potential benefits of trilaciclib to patients with other tumors that are treated with chemotherapy, we are planning a registrational trial in colorectal cancer. We met with the FDA in the second quarter of 2020 for a pre-Phase 3 meeting and are planning to initiate a randomized, placebo-controlled registrational trial of trilaciclib in colorectal cancer in the fourth quarter of 2020. We entered into a three-year co-promotion agreement in the United States and Puerto Rico with Boehringer Ingelheim in June 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, we will book revenue in the United States and Puerto Rico and retain development and commercialization rights to trilaciclib. We will lead marketing, market access and medical engagement initiatives; Boehringer Ingelheim will lead sales force engagements. The agreement is limited to support for small cell lung cancer in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. In August 2020, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Nanjing Simcere Dongyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Simcere”) for development and commercialization rights for trilaciclib in all indications in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Under the terms of the agreement, we will receive an upfront payment of $14.0 million and be eligible to receive up to $156.0 million in development and commercial milestone payments. Simcere will also pay us tiered low double-digit royalties on annual net sales of trilaciclib in Greater China. As part of this agreement, Simcere will participate in global clinical trials of trilaciclib and the companies will be responsible for all development and commercialization costs in their respective territories.

Rintodestrant: Our oral SERD

Rintodestrant is a potential first/best in-class oral SERD, which we plan to initially develop as a monotherapy and in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors, initially Ibrance® (palbociclib), for the treatment of ER+, HER2- breast cancer. Based on compelling preclinical efficacy and safety data, we filed an Investigational New Drug application (IND) with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2017. In 2018, we initiated a Phase 1/2a (dose escalation/dose expansion) clinical trial in ER+, HER2- breast cancer. Preliminary data from the Phase 1 portion of this trial were presented at the ESMO 2019 Congress, showing that rintodestrant was well tolerated and demonstrated evidence of anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated patients. We have completed enrollment of the dose escalation and dose expansion portions of the trial, and based on findings we plan to advance an 800 mg dose of rintodestrant in future trials. We plan to present additional safety and efficacy data from this trial in the fourth quarter of 2020. We initiated enrollment of patients receiving rintodestrant in combination with palbociclib in the second quarter of 2020. Palbociclib is being provided under a non-exclusive clinical supply agreement that we signed with Pfizer in February 2020.

Lerociclib: Our differentiated CDK4/6 inhibitor for patients with CDK4/6-dependent tumors

Lerociclib is a differentiated oral CDK4/6 inhibitor being developed for use in combination with other targeted therapies in multiple oncology indications, including ER+, HER2- breast cancer. We rationally designed lerociclib to improve upon and address the shortcomings of the approved CDK4/6 inhibitors Ibrance® (palbociclib), Kisqali® (ribociclib) and Verzenio® (abemaciclib), with fewer dose-limiting toxicities and potential for less frequent blood count monitoring. Our preclinical data and early clinical data indicate the potential for continuous daily dosing, less dose-limiting neutropenia, and improved tolerability. A Phase 1 trial of lerociclib in 75 healthy volunteers showed a favorable safety profile, and we reported encouraging preliminary Phase 1b data from our Phase 1/2 trial in ER+, HER2- breast cancer (in combination with fulvestrant) at the ASCO 2018 Annual Meeting. Additional data from this trial were presented at 2019 the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. We also initiated a Phase 1b combination trial with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, Tagrisso® (osimertinib) in non-small cell lung cancer. Initial safety and tolerability data from this trial were presented at the ESMO 2019 Congress.

In 2020, the Company entered into separate, exclusive agreements with EQRx, Inc. (rights for U.S., Europe, Japan and all markets outside Asia-Pacific) and Genor Biopharma Co. Inc. (rights for Asia-Pacific, excluding Japan) for the development and commercialization of lerociclib in all indications. Combined, these agreements provided $26.0 million in upfront payments to the Company, along with sales-based royalties and up to $330.0 million in potential milestone payments. EQRx, Inc. and Genor Biopharma Co. Inc. are responsible for all costs related to the development and commercialization of lerociclib in their respective territories.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact on operations

We have implemented business continuity plans to address the COVID-19 pandemic and minimize disruptions to ongoing operations. Initiation of two clinical trials, the rintodestrant/palbociclib combination trial and the I-SPY 2 trial, began in the second quarter of 2020 as scheduled. Initial enrollment of these trials is likely to be impacted by COVID-19. We do not anticipate significant supply chain delays or shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Financial Overview

Since our inception in 2008, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to synthesizing, acquiring, testing and developing our product candidates, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials and providing general and administrative support for these operations as well as securing intellectual property protection for our product candidates. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenues from product sales. We recorded $2.1 million of license revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and $0 of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, our loan agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc., and licensing arrangements. Under our licensing arrangements, we are eligible to receive certain development and sales-based milestones. Our ability to earn these milestones and the timing of achieving these milestones is primarily dependent upon the outcome of the licensee’s activities and is uncertain at this time.

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $234.3 million. Since inception we have incurred net losses. As of June 30, 2020 we had an accumulated deficit of $399.1 million. Substantially all of our net losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses over at least the next several years. We expect our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in connection with our ongoing and future activities as we:

•	continue development of our product candidates, including initiating additional clinical trials of trilaciclib and rintodestrant;

•	identify and develop new product candidates;

•	seek marketing approvals for our product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

•	establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any products for which we may obtain marketing approval;

•	achieve market acceptance of our product candidates in the medical community and with third-party payors;

•	maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

•	hire additional personnel;

•	enter into collaboration arrangements, if any, for the development of our product candidates or in-license other products and technologies;

•	add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and planned future commercialization efforts; and

•	continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company.

License agreement with the University of Illinois

In November 2016, and as amended in March 2017, we entered into a license agreement with the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, (“the University”). Pursuant to the license agreement, as amended, the University licensed patent rights to us, with rights to sublicense, to make, have made, use, import, sell and offer for sale SERDs, including rintodestrant, covered by certain patent rights owned by the University. The rights licensed to us are exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable rights, for all fields of use. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, we paid a one-time only, non-refundable upfront fee of $0.5 million, and are required to pay the University low single-digit royalties on all net sales of products and a share of any sublicensing revenues. We are also obligated to pay annual maintenance fees, which are fully creditable against any royalty payments made by us. In addition, we may also be required to pay the University milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $2.6 million related to the initiation and execution of clinical trials and the first commercial sale of a product and the first commercial sale of a product in another country. To date, we have made milestone payments totaling $0.6 million, of which $0 was incurred during the second quarter of 2020. We will also be responsible for any future patent prosecution costs that may arise.

Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue

To date, we have not generated any revenues from the sale of products. Our revenues have been derived from our license agreements. The Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with ARC Therapeutics, LLC (“ARC”) in May 2020. The Company granted ARC an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license of its CDK2 inhibitor compounds in exchange for an upfront payment and equity in ARC with a total value of approximately $2.1 million, which resulted in the recognition of related party revenue. The Company is entitled to receive additional milestone payments and sales-based royalties, and has right of first negotiation to re-acquire these assets.

Research and Development Expenses

The largest component of our total operating expenses since inception has been research and development activities, including the preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consists of:

•	salaries and personnel-related costs, including bonuses, benefits and any stock-based compensation, for our scientific personnel performing or managing out-sourced research and development activities;

•	costs incurred under agreements with contract research organizations and investigative sites that conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•	costs related to manufacturing pharmaceutical active ingredients and drug products for preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•	costs related to upfront and milestone payments under in-licensing agreements;

•	fees paid to consultants and other third parties who support our product candidate development;

•	other costs incurred in seeking regulatory approval of our product candidates; and

•	allocated facility-related costs and overhead.

The successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. Accordingly, we expect research and development costs to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as programs progress. However, we do not believe that it is possible at this time to accurately project total program-specific expenses through commercialization. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from our product candidates to offset these expenses. Our expenditures on current and future preclinical and clinical development programs are subject to numerous uncertainties in timing and cost to completion. The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including:

•	the scope, rate of progress, and expenses of our ongoing as well as any additional clinical trials and other research and development activities;

•	future clinical trial results;

•	achievement of milestones requiring payments under our in-licensing agreements;

•	uncertainties in clinical trial enrollment rates or drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients;

•	potential additional studies requested by regulatory agencies;

•	significant and changing government regulation; and

•	the timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals.

We track research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis only for clinical-stage product candidates. Preclinical research and development expenses and chemical manufacturing research and development expenses are not assigned or allocated to individual development programs. In 2019, and the second quarter of 2020, we had three clinical-stage product candidates, trilaciclib, rintodestrant and lerociclib.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, allocated expenses and other expenses for outside professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services. Personnel costs consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation. Other general and administrative expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense, professional fees, pre-commercialization costs, expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents and costs of our information systems. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support our continued research and development and potential commercialization of our product candidates.

We expect to continue to incur additional general and administrative expenses in 2020 as we support continued research and development activities and support our operations in a public company environment, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, additional insurance expenses, and expenses related to investor relations activities, pre-commercialization costs and other administration and professional services.

Total other income, net

Total other income, net consists of interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents and interest expenses incurred under our loan and security agreement with Hercules.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred cumulative losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception in 2008. As of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $399.1 million. We do not expect to generate substantial revenue from the commercial sale of our products in the foreseeable future and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses.

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $234.3 million. To date, we have funded our operations primarily through proceeds from our initial public offering, our follow-on stock offerings, our debt agreement with Hercules Capital, and proceeds from our license agreements. Under our licensing arrangements, we are eligible to receive certain development and sales-based milestones. Our ability to earn these milestones and the timing of achieving these milestones is primarily dependent upon the outcome of the licensee’s activities and are uncertain at this time.

Follow-on offering

On March 12, 2018, we closed an underwritten public offering of 3,910,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $29.50 per share, including 510,000 shares of common stock issued upon exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The gross proceeds from the offering were $115.3 million and net proceeds were $107.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.

Shelf registration statement

On June 15, 2018, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each issuance under the shelf registration statement will require the filing of a prospectus supplement identifying the amount and terms of securities to be issued. The registration statement does not limit the amount of securities that may be issued thereunder. Our ability to issue securities is subject to market conditions and other factors. This registration statement will expire on June 15, 2021, three years after its date of effectiveness.

At-the-market offering

On June 15, 2018, we entered into a Sales Agreement for an “at the market offering” arrangement with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), which allows us to issue and sell shares of common stock pursuant to a shelf registration statement for total gross sales proceeds of up to $125.0 million from time to time through Cowen, acting as our agent. Between June 18, 2018 and August 2, 2018,

we sold 752,008 shares of common stock pursuant to this agreement resulting in $36.1 million in net proceeds, realizing $12.1 million in the second quarter and the remaining $24.0 million by August 2, 2018. As of June 30, 2020, we have remaining authorization to sell up to $88.2 million under this sales agreement with Cowen.

Follow-on offering

On September 21, 2018, we closed on an underwritten public offering of 3,450,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $60.00 per share, including 450,000 shares of common stock issued upon exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares, pursuant to our shelf registration statement. The gross proceeds from the offering were $207.0 million and net proceeds were $194.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.

Loan and Security Agreement with Hercules

On May 29, 2020, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) under which Hercules has agreed to lend us up to $100.0 million, to be made available in a series of tranches, subject to specified conditions. We borrowed $20.0 million at loan closing. The term of the loan is approximately 48 months, with a maturity date of June 1, 2024. No principal payments are due during an interest-only period, commencing on the initial borrowing date and continuing through June 1, 2022. The interest only period may be extended through January 1, 2023 upon satisfaction of certain milestones. Following the interest only period, the Company will repay the principal balance and interest of the advances in equal monthly installments through June 1, 2024.

Genor License Agreement

On June 15, 2020, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Genor Biopharma Co. Inc. (“Genor”) for the development and commercialization of lerociclib in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan (the “Licensed Territory”). Under the license agreement, we granted to Genor an exclusive, royalty-bearing, non-transferable license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to develop, obtain, hold and maintain regulatory approvals for, and commercialize lerociclib, in the Licensed Territory.

Under the license agreement, Genor agreed to pay us a non-refundable, upfront cash payment of $6.0 million with the potential to pay an additional $40.0 million upon reaching certain development and commercial milestones. In addition, Genor will pay us tiered royalties ranging from high single to low double-digits based on annual net sales of lerociclib in the Licensed Territory. The upfront cash payment is payable within 30 days of the effective date of the license agreement. In return, we will furnish to Genor the related know-how that is necessary to develop, seek regulatory approval for, or commercialize lerociclib in the Licensed Territory. Genor will be responsible for the development of the product in the Licensed Territory and will be responsible, at its sole cost, for obtaining supply of lerociclib to meet its development, regulatory approval for, and commercialization obligations under the agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we had not received the upfront payment.

To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales. We do not know when, or if, we will generate any revenue from product sales. We do not expect to generate significant revenue from product sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize one of our current or future product candidates. We anticipate that we will continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect the losses to increase as we continue the development of and seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates, and begin to commercialize any approved products. We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the development of new products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company and we anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our projected cash needs for at least the next 12 months. In order to complete the process of obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates and to build the sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, we will require substantial additional funding.

We have based our projections of operating capital requirements on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all of our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

•

the scope, progress, results and costs of nonclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our product candidates;

•

the scope, prioritization and number of our research and development programs;

•

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•

the extent to which we enter into non-exclusive, jointly funded clinical research collaboration arrangements, if any, for the development of our product candidates in combination with other companies’ products;

•

our ability to establish such collaborative co-development arrangements on favorable terms, if at all;

•

the achievement of milestones or occurrence of other developments that trigger payments under our license agreements and any collaboration agreements into which we enter;

•

the extent to which we are obligated to reimburse, or entitled to reimbursement of, clinical trial costs under future collaboration agreements, if any;

•

the extent to which we acquire or in-license product candidates and technologies, such as rintodestrant, and the terms of such in-licenses;

•

the costs of future commercialization activities, including product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

•

revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval; and

•

the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We do not have any committed external source of funds except for amounts included under our licensing arrangements and the loan agreement with Hercules. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders’ ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. 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. If we raise funds through additional collaborations, strategic alliances 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 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.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

The Company entered into a three-year co-promotion agreement in the United States and Puerto Rico with Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or BI, in June 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, we will book revenue in the United States and Puerto Rico and retain development and commercialization rights to trilaciclib. We will lead marketing, market access and medical engagement initiatives; BI will lead sales force engagements. The agreement is limited to support for small cell lung cancer.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under applicable SEC rules.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheet, and the reported amount of expenses incurred during the reporting period. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that our accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. We discussed our accounting policies and significant assumptions used in our estimates in Note 2 of our audited financial statements included in our 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to our critical accounting policies, significant judgments and estimates disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting pronouncements, including respective adoption dates and the potential impact on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities, which are affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. We had cash and cash equivalents of $234.3 million as of June 30, 2020, which consists of deposits in banks, including checking accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk; however, historical fluctuations in interest income have not been significant. Due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents, a sudden change in interest rates would not be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We also have exposure to market risk on our loan agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. Our loan agreement accrues interest from its date of issue at a variable interest rate equal to the greater of either (i) (a) the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal, plus (b) 6.40%, and (ii) 9.65%. As of June 30, 2020, $20.0 million was outstanding under the loan agreement with Hercules.

We are not currently exposed to significant market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; however, our operations may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the future.

Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business financial condition or results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act 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 Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Change in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

“Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2019 Form 10-K includes a discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Form 10-K, as updated in our quarterly reports. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K, as updated in our quarterly reports.

We face risks related to health epidemics and outbreaks, including the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which could significantly disrupt our preclinical studies and clinical trials.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced in Wuhan, China and in March 2020, in an effort to halt the outbreak of COVID-19, the United States placed significant restrictions on travel and many businesses have announced extended closures which could adversely impact our operations. The duration and the geographic impact of the business disruption and related financial impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and our business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Initial enrollment of patients the planned rintodestrant/palbociclib combination clinical trial and the I-SPY 2 clinical trial, will likely be slower due to the outbreak of COVID-19. In addition, we rely on independent clinical investigators, contract research organizations and other third-party service providers to assist us in managing, monitoring and otherwise carrying out our nonclinical studies and clinical trials, and the outbreak may affect their ability to devote sufficient time and resources to our programs. We also rely on third party suppliers and contract manufacturers to produce the drug product we utilize in our clinical trials. Although we do not anticipate significant supply chain delays or shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time, the outbreak may cause delays in delivery of APIs and drug product. Temporary closure of our facilities, or facilities at which our clinical trials or nonclinical studies are conducted, or restrictions on the ability of our employees, clinicians or patients enrolled in our trials to travel could adversely affect our operations and our ability to conduct and complete our nonclinical studies and clinical trials. As a result of the foregoing factors, the expected timeline for data readouts of our clinical trials may be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic also presents a number of challenges for our emerging commercial business, including, among others, the impact due to travel limitations and government-mandated work-from-home or shelter-in-place orders, potential decreased product demand due to reduced numbers of in-person meetings with prescribers and patient visits with physicians, possible delay in cancer treatments with chemotherapy as well as increased unemployment resulting in lower new prescriptions.

In addition, the FDA’s ability to engage in routine regulatory and oversight activities, such as the review and clearance or approval of new products, may be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The FDA and other regulatory authorities may have slower response times or be under-resourced. If the global health concerns continue to disrupt or prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular reviews, inspections, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA or other regulatory authorities to timely review and process our marketing applications, clinical trial authorizations, or other regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The full extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to treat or contain COVID-19 or to otherwise limit its impact.

Our level of indebtedness and debt service obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and may make it more difficult for us to fund our operations.

We have entered into a loan and security agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. for up to $100.0 million of debt under a term loan, or the Hercules Loan Agreement. The maturity date of the Hercules Loan Agreement is June 1, 2024. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has borrowed $20.0 million under the Hercules Loan Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Hercules Loan Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, including a security interest in the intellectual property.

This indebtedness may create additional financing risk for us, particularly if our business or prevailing financial market conditions are not conducive to paying off or refinancing our outstanding debt obligations at maturity. This indebtedness could also have important negative consequences, including the fact that we will need to repay our indebtedness by making payments of interest and principal, which will reduce the amount of money available to finance our operations, our research and development efforts, our commercialization efforts, and other general corporate activities.

If we were to become unable to pay, when due, the principal of, interest on, or other amounts due in respect of, our indebtedness, our financial condition would be adversely affected. Further, under the Hercules Loan Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, subject to exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to do the following things: declare dividends or redeem or repurchase equity interests; incur additional liens; make loans and investments; incur additional indebtedness; engage in mergers, acquisitions, and asset sales; transact with affiliates; undergo a change in control; and add or change business locations. If we breach any of these restrictive covenants or are unable to pay our indebtedness under the Hercules Loan Agreement when due, this could result in a default under the Hercules Loan Agreement. In such event, Hercules may elect (after the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods) to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Hercules Loan Agreement, to be immediately due and payable. Any such occurrence would have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

Our Co-Promotion Agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or BI, is important to our business. If we or BI fail to adequately perform under the Co-Promotion Agreement, or if we or BI terminate the Co-Promotion Agreement, the commercialization of trilaciclib and our business would be adversely affected.

The Co-Promotion Agreement is important to our business, and our ability to fully commercialize trilaciclib in the United States is dependent upon this agreement.

Under the terms of the Co-Promotion Agreement, BI will provide salesforce engagements for trilaciclib within the United States and Puerto Rico utilizing BI’s own sales and marketing personnel. BI will hire and maintain, and be solely responsible for, its own personnel conducting the promotion services described in the Co-Promotion Agreement, including ensuring that such personnel adhere to certain guidelines and practices with respect to the promotion of trilaciclib. The Company will lead marketing, market access, and medical engagement initiatives under the Co-Promotion Agreement. The Company will also be responsible for the costs of maintaining regulatory approval of, manufacturing, supplying and distributing trilaciclib, and will prepare and control the content of trilaciclib marketing and training materials, subject to review and feedback by BI.

Subject to early termination, the Co-Promotion Agreement will expire on the third anniversary of the first commercial sale. Subject to specified notice periods and specified limitations, either party may terminate the Co-Promotion Agreement in the event of (i) uncured material breach by the other party, (ii) trilaciclib not having obtained regulatory approval from the FDA by September 30, 2021, (iii) withdrawal of trilaciclib from the market by the Company as a result of a decision by the FDA or a material safety concern; (iv) the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding up of the other party, or (v) for convenience (which termination right, in the case of BI, may only be exercised six months after first commercial sale). In addition, the Company may terminate the Co-Promotion Agreement if the Company receives feedback from a regulatory authority that the Company reasonably believes indicates that trilaciclib is unlikely to receive regulatory approval. BI may also terminate the Co-Promotion Agreement if the first commercial sale has not occurred by September 30, 2021 or upon a change of control of the Company.

Termination of the Co-Promotion Agreement could cause significant delays and disruption to our commercialization efforts for trilaciclib. If the Co-Promotion Agreement is terminated, we may need to seek additional financing to support our commercialization efforts or find another third party to enter into a new collaboration agreement. Any alternative collaboration could also be on less favorable terms to us. If the Co-Promotion Agreement is terminated our business would be adversely affected.

We have entered into license agreements for lerociclib and intend to continue to use third-party collaborators to help us develop and commercialize any new products, and our ability to commercialize such products could be impaired or delayed if these collaborations are unsuccessful.

We have entered into license agreements with third-parties, and may continue to selectively pursue strategic collaborations, for the development and commercialization of our products. For example, in June 2020, we entered into a license agreement with Genor Biopharma Co. Inc., for the development and commercialization of lerociclib in the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan). In addition, in July 2020, we and EQRx entered into license agreement pursuant to which we have granted EQRx the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize lerociclib in the U.S., Europe, Japan and all other global markets, excluding the Asia-Pacific region (except Japan). In our third-party collaborations, we are dependent upon the success of the collaborators to perform their responsibilities with continued cooperation. Our collaborators may not cooperate with us or perform their obligations under our agreements with them. We cannot control the amount and timing of our collaborators’ resources that will be devoted to performing their responsibilities under our agreements with them. Our collaborators may choose to pursue alternative therapies in preference to those being developed in collaboration with us. The development and commercialization of our product candidates will be delayed if collaborators fail to conduct their responsibilities in a timely manner or in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements or if they breach or terminate their collaboration agreements with us. Disputes with our collaborators could also impair our reputation or result in development delays, decreased revenues, and litigation expenses.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION

SECTION 2. THE LOAN

2.1[Reserved]

2.2Term Loan.

(a)Advances.

(i)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lenders will severally (and not jointly) make in an amount not to exceed its respective Term Commitment, and Borrower agrees to draw, a Term Loan Advance of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) on the Closing Date (the “Tranche 1A Advance”).

(ii)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, beginning on the Closing Date and continuing through March 31, 2021 (or such later date as determined by Agent in its sole discretion upon Borrower’s request in connection with any anticipated PDUFA Date), the Lenders will severally (and not jointly) make in an amount not to exceed its respective Term Commitment, a Term Loan Advance of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Tranche 1B Advance” and together with the Tranche 1A Advance, each a “Tranche 1 Advance”).

(iii)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and satisfaction of the Tranche 2 Draw Conditions, beginning on January 1, 2021 and continuing through December 15, 2021 (or such later date as determined by Agent in its sole discretion upon Borrower’s request in connection with any anticipated PDUFA Date), Borrower may request and the Lenders shall severally (and not jointly) make one or more additional Term Loan Advances in an aggregate principal amount of up to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in minimum increments of $5,000,000 (each, a “Tranche 2 Advance”).

(iv)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and satisfaction of the Tranche 3 Draw Conditions, beginning on April 1, 2021 and continuing through December 31, 2022, Borrower may request and the Lenders shall severally (and not jointly) make one or more additional Term Loan Advances in an aggregate principal amount of up to Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) in minimum increments of $5,000,000 (each, a “Tranche 3 Advance”).

(v)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and conditioned on approval by the Lenders’ investment committee in its sole discretion, on or before December 31, 2022, Borrower may request additional Term Loan Advances in an aggregate principal amount up to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in minimum increments of $5,000,000 (each, a “Tranche 4 Advance”).

(vi)The aggregate outstanding Term Loan Advances may be up to the Maximum Term Loan Amount.

(b) Advance Request. To obtain a Term Loan Advance, Borrower shall complete, sign and deliver an Advance Request (at least five (5) Business Days before the Advance Date) to Agent. The Lenders shall fund the Term Loan Advance in the manner requested by the Advance Request provided that each of the conditions precedent to such Term Loan Advance is satisfied as of the requested Advance Date.

(c)Interest. The principal balance of each Term Loan Advance shall bear interest thereon from such Advance Date at the Term Loan Interest Rate based on a year consisting of 360 days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed. The Term Loan Interest Rate will float and change on the day the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal changes from time to time.

(d)Payment. Borrower will pay interest on each Term Loan Advance on the first (1^st) Business Day of each month, beginning the month after the Advance Date. Borrower shall repay the aggregate Term Loan principal balance that is outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Amortization Date, in equal monthly installments of principal and interest (mortgage style) beginning on the Amortization Date and continuing on the first Business Day of each month thereafter until the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid. The entire Term Loan principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense. If a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. The Lenders will initiate debit entries to the Borrower’s account as authorized on the ACH Authorization (i) on each payment date of all periodic obligations payable to the Lenders under each Term Loan Advance and (ii) reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket legal fees and costs incurred by Agent or the Lenders in connection with Section 11.12 of this Agreement; provided that, with respect to clause (i) above, in the event that the Lenders or Agent informs Borrower that the Lenders will not initiate a debit entry to Borrower’s account for a certain amount of the periodic obligations due on a specific payment date, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such amount of periodic obligations in full in immediately available funds on such payment date; provided, further, that, with respect to clause (i) above, if the Lenders or Agent informs Borrower that the Lenders will not initiate a debit entry as described above later than the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to such payment date, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such amount of periodic obligations in full in immediately available funds on the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Lenders or

Agent notifies Borrower of such; provided, further, that, with respect to clause (ii) above, in the event that the Lenders or Agent informs Borrower that the Lenders will not initiate a debit entry to Borrower’s account for certain amount of such out-of-pocket legal fees and costs incurred by Agent or the Lenders, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such amount in full in immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days.

(e)Unused Fee. In addition to the payments described in Section 2.2(d) above, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders from and after the later of (i) April 1, 2021 and (ii) the date that the Tranche 3 Draw Conditions are satisfied (such later date, the “Unused Fee Commencement Date”), until the earliest to occur of (i) December 31, 2022, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations, or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable in full, an unused fee accruing at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the available but undrawn amount of the Tranche 3 Term Commitments. All such unused fees payable under this section 2.2(e) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower occurring on and after the Unused Fee Commencement Date through and including December 31, 2022 and, in addition, on the earliest to occur of (i) the date (if on or prior to December 31, 2022) that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations, or (ii) the date (if on or prior to December 31, 2022) that the Secured Obligations become due and payable in full. Such unused fee shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year. The amount of available but undrawn Tranche 3 Term Commitments shall be calculated each month in connection with the reporting under Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(d).

2.3Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to the Lenders an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of the Lenders’ accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.

2.4Default Interest. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date (or within three (3) Business Days of the scheduled payment date, provided that such late payment is due solely to an administrative or operational error of Agent or the Lenders or Borrower’s bank if Borrower had the funds to make the payment when due), an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand; provided that no such amount shall be payable if such nonpayment is due to Lenders’ failure to initiate debit entries pursuant to the ACH Authorization. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 2.2(c) plus four percent (4%) per annum. In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(c) or Section 2.4, as applicable.

2.5Prepayment.

(a)At its option upon at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice to Agent, Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding Advances by paying the entire principal balance, or a portion thereof in minimum increments of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with a prepayment charge equal to the following percentage of the Advance amount being prepaid: with respect to each Advance, if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, 3.00%; after twelve (12) months but prior to twenty-four (24) months, 2.00%; and after twenty-four (24) months but prior to thirty-six (36) months, 1.00% (each, a “Prepayment Charge”). If at any time Borrower elects to make a prepayment, and at such time, there are outstanding Advances under multiple Tranches, the Prepayment Charge shall be determined by applying the amount of such prepayment in the following order: first, to the outstanding principal amount (and accrued but unpaid interest thereon) of Advances outstanding under the Tranche with the latest initial funding date; second, to the outstanding principal amount (and accrued but unpaid interest thereon) of Advances outstanding under the Tranche with the next latest initial funding date and so on until the entire principal balance of all Advances made hereunder (and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) is paid in full. Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances. Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest through the prepayment date and the Prepayment Charge upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or any other prepayment hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and the Lenders agree to waive the Prepayment Charge if Agent and the Lenders (in their sole and absolute discretion) agree in writing to refinance the Advances prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(b)At its option upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Agent, Borrower may prepay the portion of the outstanding Advances necessary to prevent an Event of Default under Section 9.2 with respect to the covenant in Section 7.20 and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that such prepayment does not exceed the amount required to prevent such Event of Default. Any partial prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall not be subject to a Prepayment Charge. For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts prepaid under this Section 2.5(b) shall not be available to be reborrowed.

(c)Any amounts paid under this Section shall be applied by Agent to the then unpaid amount of any Secured Obligations (including principal and interest) in such order and priority as Agent may choose in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, if a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

2.6 End of Term Charge.

(a)On any date that Borrower partially prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 2.5(a), Borrower shall pay the Lenders a charge of 6.95% of such Term Loan Advances being prepaid.

(b)On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) in full pursuant to Section 2.5(a), or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable in full, Borrower shall pay the Lenders a charge of (x) the greater of (A) Two Million Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars ($2,085,000) and (B) 6.95% of the aggregate amount of all Term Loan Advances funded minus (y) the aggregate amount of payments made pursuant to

Section 2.6(a) (collectively with any charge made pursuant to Section 2.6(a), the “End of Term Charge”).

(c)Notwithstanding the required payment date of any such End of Term Charge, the applicable pro rata portion of the End of Term Charge shall be deemed earned by the Lenders as of each date a Term Loan Advance is made. For the avoidance of doubt, if a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

2.7Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment (including prepayment) on account of any fee and any reduction of the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the Term Commitments of the relevant Lender.

2.8Taxes; Increased Costs. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders each hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Addendum 1 attached hereto.

2.9Treatment of Prepayment Charge and End of Term Charge. Borrower agrees that any Prepayment Charge and any End of Term Charge payable shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing and existing as of the Closing Date. The Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other means. Borrower expressly waives (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) the provisions of any present or future statute or law that prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the foregoing Prepayment Charge and End of Term Charge in connection with any such acceleration. Borrower agrees (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so): (a) each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (b) each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (c) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge as a charge (and not interest) in the event of prepayment or acceleration; (d) Borrower shall be estopped from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge to the Lenders as herein described was on the Closing Date and continues to be a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Term Loans.

SECTION 3. SECURITY INTEREST

3.1As security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, Borrower grants to Agent a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in, to and under all of Borrower’s personal property and other assets including without limitation the following (except as set forth herein) whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”): (a) Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles; (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Documents, (j) Goods; and all other tangible and intangible personal property of Borrower whether now or hereafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by, Borrower and wherever located, and any of Borrower’s property in the possession or under the control of Agent; and, to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the

foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing.

3.2Notwithstanding the broad grant of the security interest set forth in Section 3.1, above, the Collateral shall not include (a) any “intent to use” trademarks at all times prior to the first use thereof, whether by the actual use thereof in commerce, the recording of a statement of use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or otherwise, provided , that upon submission and acceptance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office of an amendment to allege use of an intent-to-use trademark application pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1060(a) (or any successor provision) such intent-to-use application shall constitute Collateral, (b) nonassignable licenses or contracts, which by their terms require the consent of the licensor thereof or another party (but only to the extent such prohibition on transfer is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Sections 9406, 9407 and 9408 of the UCC) and (c) any Excluded Account.

SECTION 6. INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION

6.1Coverage. Borrower shall cause to be carried and maintained commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence form, against risks customarily insured against in Borrower’s line of business. Such risks shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification agreement found in Section 6.3. Borrower shall maintain a minimum of $2,000,000 of commercial general liability insurance for each occurrence. Borrower has and agrees to maintain a minimum of $2,000,000 of directors’ and officers’ insurance for each occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate. So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding, Borrower shall also cause to be carried and maintained insurance upon the Collateral, insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage howsoever caused, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Collateral, provided that such insurance may be subject to standard exceptions and deductibles. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.1 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Agent are immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Secured Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

6.2Certificates. Borrower shall deliver to Agent certificates of insurance that evidence Borrower’s compliance with its insurance obligations in Section 6.1 and the obligations contained in this Section 6.2. Borrower’s insurance certificate shall state Agent (shown as “Hercules Capital, Inc., as Agent”) is an additional insured for commercial general liability, a lenders loss payable for all risk property damage insurance, subject to the insurer’s approval, and a lenders loss payable for property insurance and additional insured for liability insurance for any future property or liability insurance that Borrower may acquire from such insurer. Attached to the certificates of insurance will be additional insured endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for all risk property damage insurance. All certificates of insurance will provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice to Agent of cancellation (other than cancellation for non-payment of premiums, for which ten (10) days’ advance written notice shall be sufficient). Any failure of Agent to scrutinize such insurance certificates for compliance is not a waiver of any of Agent’s rights, all of which are reserved. Borrower shall provide Agent with copies of each insurance policy evidencing Borrower’s compliance with its insurance obligations in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, and upon entering or amending any insurance policy required hereunder, Borrower shall provide Agent with copies of such policies and shall deliver to Agent updated insurance certificates with respect to such policies concurrently with the monthly financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a).

6.3Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Agent, the Lenders and their officers, directors, employees, agents, in-house attorneys, representatives and shareholders (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities (including such claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort), including reasonable and invoiced attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense (including those incurred upon any appeal) (collectively, “Liabilities”), that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the administration of such credit, or in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, or any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, or arising out of the disposition or utilization of the Collateral, excluding in all cases Liabilities to the extent resulting solely from any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 6.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. In no event shall any Indemnified Person be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). This Section 6.3 shall survive the repayment of indebtedness under, and otherwise shall survive the expiration or other termination of, this Agreement.

In addition, any such representative shall have the right to meet with management and officers of Borrower to discuss such books of account and records at reasonable time and upon reasonable notice during normal business hours. In addition, Agent or the Lenders shall be entitled at reasonable times and intervals reasonably acceptable to Borrower to consult with and advise the management and officers of Borrower concerning significant business issues affecting Borrower, which consultations shall not unreasonably interfere with Borrower’s business operations; provided that the management and officers of Borrower are not obligated to accept such advice. The parties intend that the rights granted Agent and the Lenders shall constitute “management rights” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d)(3)(ii), but that any advice, recommendations or participation by Agent or the Lenders with respect to any business issues shall not be deemed to give Agent or the Lenders, nor be deemed an exercise by Agent or the Lenders of, control over Borrower’s management or policies.

Borrower shall from time to time execute, deliver and file, alone or with Agent, any financing statements, security agreements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, promissory notes or other documents to perfect, give the highest priority to Agent’s Lien on the Collateral or otherwise evidence Agent’s rights herein.

Borrower shall protect and defend Borrower’s title to the Collateral and Agent’s Lien thereon against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to Borrower or Agent other than Permitted Liens.

7.3Indebtedness. Borrower shall not create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, other than Permitted Indebtedness, or prepay any Indebtedness or take any actions which impose on Borrower an obligation to prepay any Indebtedness, except for (a) the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion, (b) purchase money Indebtedness pursuant to its then applicable payment schedule, (c) prepayment by any Subsidiary of inter-company Indebtedness, (d) any refinancing of Indebtedness with Permitted Indebtedness or (e) as otherwise permitted hereunder or approved in writing by Agent.

aggregate amount of cash payable upon conversion or payment of any Permitted Convertible Debt (excluding any required payment of interest with respect to such Permitted Convertible Debt and excluding any payment of cash in lieu of a fractional share due upon conversion thereof) exceeds the aggregate principal amount thereof and (b) such conversion or payment does not trigger or correspond to an exercise or early unwind or settlement of a corresponding portion of the Permitted Bond Hedge Transactions relating to such Permitted Convertible Debt (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the case where there is no Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction relating to such Permitted Convertible Debt), the payment of such excess cash shall not be permitted by the preceding sentence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may repurchase, exchange or induce the conversion of Permitted Convertible Debt by delivery of shares of Common Stock and/or a different series of Permitted Convertible Debt and/or by payment of cash (in an amount that does not exceed the proceeds received by Borrower from the substantially concurrent issuance of shares of Common Stock and/or Permitted Convertible Debt plus the net cash proceeds, if any, received by Borrower pursuant to the related exercise or early unwind or termination of the related Permitted Bond Hedge Transactions and Permitted Warrant Transactions, if any, pursuant to the immediately following proviso); provided that, substantially concurrently with, or a commercially reasonable period of time before or after, the related settlement date for the Permitted Convertible Debt that is so repurchased, exchanged or converted, Borrower shall exercise or unwind or terminate early (whether in cash, shares or any combination thereof) the portion of the Permitted Bond Hedge Transactions and Permitted Warrant Transactions, if any, corresponding to such Permitted Convertible Debt that are so repurchased, exchanged or converted.

7.4Collateral. Borrower shall at all times keep the Collateral and all other property and assets used in Borrower’s business or in which Borrower now or hereafter holds any interest free and clear from any legal process or Liens whatsoever (except for Permitted Liens), and shall give Agent prompt written notice of any legal process affecting all or any portion the Collateral in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate, such other property and assets, or any Liens thereon, provided however, that the Collateral and such other property and assets may be subject to Permitted Liens. Borrower shall not agree with any Person other than Agent or the Lenders not to encumber its property other than (i) as is otherwise permitted in the definitions of “Permitted Transfers” and “Permitted Liens” and (ii) restrictions by reason of customary provisions restricting assignment, subletting or other transfers contained in leases, licenses and similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business (provided that such restrictions are limited to the property or assets secured by such Liens or the property or assets subject to such leases, licenses or similar agreements as the case may be). Borrower shall not enter into or suffer to exist or become effective any agreement that prohibits or limits the ability of any Borrower to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property (including Intellectual Property), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party other than (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) any agreements governing any purchase money Liens or capital lease obligations otherwise permitted hereby (in which case, any prohibition or limitation shall only be effective against the assets financed thereby) and (c) customary restrictions on the assignment of leases, licenses and other agreements. Borrower shall cause its Subsidiaries to protect and defend such Subsidiary’s title to its assets from and against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to such Subsidiary, and Borrower shall cause its Subsidiaries at all times to keep such Subsidiary’s property and assets free and clear from any legal process or Liens whatsoever (except for Permitted Liens, provided however, that there shall be no Liens whatsoever on Intellectual Property), and shall give Agent prompt written notice of any legal process affecting such Subsidiary’s assets.

7.6Distributions. Borrower shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, (a) repurchase or redeem any class of stock or other Equity Interest other than pursuant to employee, director or consultant repurchase plans or other similar agreements, provided, however, in each case the repurchase or redemption price does not exceed the original consideration paid for such stock or Equity Interest, or (b) declare or pay any cash dividend or make any other cash distribution on any class of stock or other Equity Interest, except that a Subsidiary may pay dividends or make other distributions to Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, or (c) lend money to any employees, officers or directors or guarantee the payment of any such loans granted by a third party in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate or (d) waive, release or forgive any Indebtedness owed by any employees, officers or directors in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate.

conversion, exercise, repurchase, redemption by holders of (including any payment upon conversion, whether in cash, common stock or a combination thereof), or required payment of any principal or premium on (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of a required repurchase in connection with the redemption of Permitted Convertible Debt upon satisfaction of a condition related to the stock price of the Common Stock) or required payment of any interest with respect to, any Permitted Convertible Debt in each case, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing such Permitted Convertible Debt; provided that principal payments in cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares) shall only be allowed if the Redemption Conditions are satisfied in respect of such payment and at all times after such payment; provided further that, to the extent both (a) the aggregate amount of cash payable upon conversion or payment of any Permitted Convertible Debt (excluding any required payment of interest with respect to such Permitted Convertible Debt and excluding any payment of cash in lieu of a fractional share due upon conversion thereof) exceeds the aggregate principal amount thereof and (b) such conversion or payment does not trigger or correspond to an exercise or early unwind or settlement of a corresponding portion of the Permitted Bond Hedge Transactions relating to such Permitted Convertible Debt (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the case where there is no Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction relating to such Permitted Convertible Debt), the payment of such excess cash shall not be permitted by the preceding sentence.

may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, Taxes for which Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.

9.1Payments. Borrower fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents on the due date; provided, however, that an Event of Default shall not occur on account of a failure to pay due solely to an administrative or operational error of Agent or the Lenders or Borrower’s bank if Borrower had the funds to make the payment when due and makes the payment within three (3) Business Days following Borrower’s knowledge of such failure to pay; or

9.8Stop Trade. At any time, an SEC stop trade order or NASDAQ market trading suspension of Borrower’s Common Stock shall be in effect for five (5) consecutive days or five (5) days during a period of ten (10) consecutive days, excluding in all cases a suspension of all trading on a public market, provided that Borrower shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within thirty (30) days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another public market within sixty (60) days of such notice.

SECTION 10. REMEDIES

10.1General. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations together with a Prepayment Charge and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 9.5, all of the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge) shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act). Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to: exercisable during the existence of an Event of Default, (i) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (ii) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any account debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Agent’s

or Borrower’s name, as Agent may elect); (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent or a third party as the UCC permits; (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower; (vii) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; and (viii) notify all account debtors to pay Agent directly. Borrower hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Secured Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral. All Agent’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.

10.2Collection; Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Agent may elect. Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent that is reasonably convenient to Agent and Borrower. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Agent in the following order of priorities:

First, to Agent and the Lenders in an amount sufficient to pay in full Agent’s and the Lenders’ reasonable costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses as described in Section 11.12;

Second, to the Lenders in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the Default Rate interest), in such order and priority as Agent may choose in its sole discretion; and

Finally, after the full and final payment in Cash of all of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate obligations), to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Agent shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC.

10.3No Waiver. Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral for the benefit of Borrower or any other Person, and Borrower expressly waives all rights, if any, to require Agent to marshal any Collateral.

10.4Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Agent.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

11.3Entire Agreement; Amendments.

(a)This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including Agent’s revised proposal letter dated May 2, 2020 and the Non-Disclosure Agreement).

Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3(b). The Required Lenders and Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent and the Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.3(b) without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release a Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11.18 or Addendum 3 without the written consent of the Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the Loans.

11.4No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or

interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

11.5No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Agent and the Lenders by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or the Lenders to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Agent or the Lenders at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Agent or the Lenders is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Agent or the Lenders to enforce such provisions thereafter.

11.6Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Sections 6.3, 11.14, 11.15 and 11.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and Section 11.13 shall survive until the later of (i) two years after Borrower’s latest delivery to Agent of material non-public information and (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

11.7Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any). Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without Agent’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Agent and the Lenders may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrower, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors and assigns; provided that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Agent nor any Lender may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any party that is a direct competitor of Borrower (as identified by Borrower from time to time to Agent), it being acknowledged that in all cases, any transfer to an Affiliate of any Lender or Agent shall be allowed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in connection with any assignment by a Lender as a result of a forced divestiture at the request of any regulatory agency, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply and Agent and the Lenders may assign, transfer or indorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person or party and (y) in connection with a Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply and Agent and the Lenders may assign, transfer or indorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person or party providing such financing or formed to undertake such securitization transaction and any transferee of such Person or party upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing or securitization transaction; provided that no such sale, transfer, pledge or assignment under this clause (y) shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Person or party for such Lender as a party hereto until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement from such Person or party in form satisfactory to Agent executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such assignee as Agent reasonably shall require. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender(s), and the Term Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lender(s) shall treat each

Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The parties intend that any interest in or with respect to the Loans under this Agreement be treated as being issued and maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any regulations thereunder (and any successor provisions), including without limitation under United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Regulations Section 1.163-5 (and any successor provisions), and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that gives effect to such intent.

11.8Participations. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code and United States Treasury Regulations, including without limitation under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions in Addendum 1 attached hereto (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 7 of Addendum 1 attached hereto (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 7 of Addendum 1 attached hereto shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.7; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Addendum 1 attached hereto, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

11.9Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Agent and the Lenders in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Agent and the Lenders in the State of California. Payment to Agent and the Lenders by Borrower of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.

11.10Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 11.11 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Clara County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered

thereby in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.2, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.2. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

11.11Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.

(a)Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT AND THE LENDERS SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST AGENT, THE LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY AGENT, THE LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent, Borrower and the Lenders; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among Borrower, Agent and the Lenders; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.

(b)If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 11.11(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.

(c)In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 11.10, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.

(b)G1 shall make the Sales Payments on a [***] basis during the applicable Contract Year, subject to a true-up payment at the end of each Contract Year if the Annual Floor has not been met (the “Annual Floor True-Up”). When a [***] includes two (2) [***], the Net Sales for any

6.3.2Adjustment of Sales Payments.

The [***] of the Qualifying Customer Engagements not achieved will be calculated by dividing the number of uncompleted Qualifying Customer Engagements by the total Qualifying Customer Engagements in the Promotion Plan as set forth in Schedule B.

Within [***] after the end of each [***] during the Term, G1 shall provide to BI a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Net Sales for such [***] and the Sales Payment payable in respect of such Net Sales in accordance with Section 6.3. Within [***] after the end of each [***] during the Term, G1 shall pay to BI the portion of the promotion fee payable in respect of such Net Sales.

6.4.2[***] Estimate Reports. Within [***] of the end of each [***] within each [***], G1 shall provide to BI a written report setting forth G1’s good faith estimate of the Net Sales for such [***].
