10. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases office and research and development space under a noncancelable ten-year operating lease in Marina Del Rey, CA. The lease commenced January 1, 2012 with the Company’s option to extend the lease for an additional ten years.

In April 2020, the Company entered into an Assignment and First Amendment of Office Lease (“Lease Amendment”) for its location in Marina Del Rey, which, among other things, extended the lease term for ten years commencing January 1, 2022 to expire on December 31, 2031. Base annual rent for calendar year 2022 under the Lease Amendment will be approximately $1.9 million, and base rent increases by 3% annually and will be $2.5 million by the end of the amended term.  In addition, the Company received rent abatement for six months starting May 1, 2020, and allowance for tenant improvements of $0.8 million to be used during calendar year of 2021. The Company expects to remeasure the lease liability and related right of use asset upon Lease Amendment in connection with close of the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  

From time to time, the Company may be involved in disputes, including litigation, relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. Any of these claims could subject the Company to costly legal expenses and, while management generally believes that there is adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, the Company’s insurance carriers may deny coverage or policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations and financial position. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage the Company’s reputation and business. The Company is currently not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
