7. Lease Agreements

The Company leases one facility in Emeryville, California under an operating lease that expires in February 2023. The Emeryville lease contains an option to early terminate the lease by notifying the landlord on or before February 1, 2020, which expired unexercised. The lease also contains an option to extend the lease for an additional term, however, the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise this option.

The Company also previously leased two facilities in Berkeley, California under operating leases that had remaining lease terms until 2021 and 2023. On December 18, 2019, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement (“the Lease Termination”) with each of the 7th Street Properties II (“7th Street LP”) and 7th Street Property General Partnership (“7th Street GP”) to early terminate the Company’s two operating leases in Berkeley, California. As a result of the lease terminations the Company was also released from all financial obligations under its sublease agreements. The Company agreed to pay an early termination fee of $1.6 million in total and recognized a loss on lease termination of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
