On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “License”) with MIL 40G, LLC (the “Licensor”), pursuant to which the Company leases approximately 13,000 square feet of office, research and development and laboratory space located at 40 Guest Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02135. The Company recognized a right of use asset of $9.1 million and an operating lease liability of $9.1 million which were recorded as of the Term Commencement Date (as defined below) related to the License. The term of the License commenced on April 15, 2022 (the “Term Commencement Date”) and expires on April 14, 2026. The License has a monthly rental rate of $225,760.

On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the License with the Licensor, pursuant to which the License was expanded to include an additional room effective July 15, 2022.
