JAGUAR HEALTH, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Business

Jaguar Health, Inc. (“Jaguar” or the “Company”), formerly known as Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., was incorporated on June 6, 2013 (inception) in Delaware. The Company was a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo until the close of the Company's initial public offering on May 18, 2015. The Company was formed to develop and commercialize first-in-class gastrointestinal products for companion and production animals and horses. The Company's first commercial product, Neonorm Calf, was launched in 2014 and Neonorm Foal was launched in the first quarter of 2016. The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding in order to timely complete the development and commercialization of products.

On July 31, 2017, Jaguar completed a merger with Napo pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 31, 2017 by and among Jaguar, Napo, Napo Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Napo's representative (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Napo, with Napo surviving as the wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger” or “Napo Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Jaguar changed its name from “Jaguar Animal Health, Inc.” to “Jaguar Health, Inc.” Napo now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar focused on human health and the ongoing commercialization of Mytesi, a Napo drug product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

On March 15, 2021, the Company established Napo EU S.p.A (“Napo EU”) in Italy as a subsidiary of Napo. Napo EU will serve as the foundation of the Company’s efforts to address the growing burden particularly in Europe – of the inflammatory diarrhea associated with long-hauler syndrome in the post COVID-19 patient population. Napo EU is located in Milan, which is also the headquarters of the Company’s secondary supplier of Crofelemer, Indena S.p.A.

The Company manages its operations through two segments – human health and animal health and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Nasdaq Communication and Compliance

Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement

On August 17, 2020, the Company received a letter from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to the Company’s failure to maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity (or meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities of $35 million or net income from continuing operations).

On September 9, 2020, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that, based on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 2, 2020, the Staff has determined that the Company complied with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). However, if the Company failed to evidence compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) upon filing its next periodic report, the Company may be subject to delisting.

Minimum Bid Price Requirement

On September 11, 2020, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Rule”), as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as of September 11, 2020, and notwithstanding the Company’s compliance with the quantitative criteria necessary to obtain a second 180-day period within which to evidence compliance with the Rule, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Nasdaq determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Hearings Panel”).

7


Table of Contents

On October 22, 2020, the hearing was held with the Hearings Panel. On October 28, 2020, the Company received formal notice that the Hearings Panel granted the Company an extension through December 23, 2020 to evidence compliance with the Rule. In order to comply with the Rule, the Company must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days by December 23, 2020.

As the Company consistently reached a closing bid price of above $1.00 in 2021, on January 21, 2021, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Office of General Counsel that the Company has regained compliance with the bid price and warrant concerns, as required by the Hearings Panel decision dated October 28, 2020. Accordingly, the Hearings Panel has determined to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq and is closing this matter.

Liquidity

The Company, since its inception, has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $178.9 million as of March 31, 2021. The Company expects to incur substantial losses and negative cash flows in future periods. Further, the Company’s future operations, which include the satisfaction of current obligations, are dependent on the success of the Company’s ongoing development and commercialization efforts, as well as securing of additional financing and generating positive cash flows from operations.

As of the issuance date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has cash of $35.0 million. Based on the Company’s current operating plan and forecasted operations, management believes that existing cash will be sufficient to fund the Company’s obligations for at least 12 months after these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2021, or for any other future annual or interim period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

There has been no material change to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended

December 31, 2020 which was filed to SEC on March 31, 2021.

Except as noted above, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2021, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, changes in convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future interim periods or for the entire year.

Table of Contents

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The accounting policies that reflect the Company’s more significant estimates and judgments and that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results are the valuation of stock options, valuation of hybrid instruments designated at fair value option (“FVO”), valuation of warrant liabilities, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), and useful lives assigned to long-lived assets; valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory; allowance for doubtful accounts; deferred taxes and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; evaluation and measurement of contingencies; and recognition of revenue, including estimates for product returns. Those estimates could change, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. During the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s financial results were not significantly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company has considered all information available as of the date of issuance of these financial statements and the Company is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or judgments, or a revision to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak affects the Company’s future financial results and operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak, and current or future domestic and international actions to contain and treat it.

Our cash on deposit may exceed United States federally insured limits at certain times during the year. We maintain cash accounts with certain major financial institutions in the United States. Restricted cash represents cash not available to us for immediate and general use. Amounts included in restricted cash primarily relate to security deposits and a letter of credit with a financial institution, both in connection with office space lease agreements.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is recorded net of allowances for discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. Accounts receivable is written off when it has been outstanding for two years or earlier when collection efforts have ceased. Prior to that, the Company estimates an allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in general and administrative expenses. The credit loss allowance was immaterial as of March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Concentrations

Cash is the financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk as cash is deposited with a bank and cash balances are generally in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, substantially all of the Company’s revenue was derived from the sale of Mytesi. In looking at sales by the Company to distributors whose net revenue percentage of total net

revenue was equal to or greater than 10%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company earned Mytesi revenue primarily from two pharmaceutical distributors located in the United States. For the three months ended
March 31, 2020, the Company earned Mytesi revenue primarily from one pharmaceutical distributor in the United States. Revenue earned from each as a percentage of total revenue is as follows:

The Company is subject to credit risk from its accounts receivable related to its sales. The Company generally does not perform evaluations of customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. As of
March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, one customer comprised 92% and 95% of total accounts receivable, respectively.

The Company is subject to concentration risk from its suppliers. The Company sources raw material used to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Mytesi from two suppliers and is dependent on a single third-party contract manufacturer, both for the supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Mytesi, as well as for the supply of finished products for commercialization.

Fair Value

The Company’s financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, warrant liabilities, equity-linked financial instruments and debt. The recorded carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflect their fair value due to their short-term nature. Other financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value, and subsequently measured at either fair value or amortized cost using the effective interest method. See Note 3 for the fair value measurements.

Fair Value Option

ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, provides FVO election that allows companies an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. ASC 825-10 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the FVO has been elected are reported in earnings. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis, must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 825-10 are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method. In accordance with the options presented in ASC 825-10, the Company elected to present the aggregate of fair value and non-fair-value amounts in the same line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and parenthetically disclose the amount measured at fair value in the aggregate amount.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost is initially recorded at the invoiced amount of raw materials or active pharmaceutical ingredient, including the sum of qualified expenditures and charges in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. The Company calculates inventory valuation adjustments when conditions indicate that net realizable value is less than cost due to physical deterioration, usage, obsolescence, reductions in estimated future demand or reduction in selling price. Inventory write-downs are measured as the difference between the cost of inventory and net realizable value.

10


Table of Contents

Property and Equipment

Land is stated at cost, reflecting the fair value of the property at July 31, 2017, the date of the Napo merger. Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Equipment begins to be depreciated when it is placed into service. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging between 3 to 10 years.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of assets are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Long-lived Assets

The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of all of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives.

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited, and are reviewed when impairment indicators are identified.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Acquired IPR&D are intangible assets acquired in the July 2017 Napo merger. Under ASC 805, IPR&D are initially recognized at fair value and classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. During the development period, these assets will not be amortized as charges to earnings; instead, these assets will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s fair value. The Company recorded no impairment in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

The Company elected not to separate nonlease components from lease components and instead accounts for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Because the interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received.

Operating Lease

The Company had a non-cancelable operating lease with CA-Mission Street Limited Partnership for its offices in San Francisco, California, through September 30, 2020. The lease agreement called for monthly base rents between $38,000 and $41,000 over the term of the lease. The lease agreement was not renewed upon expiration.

Table of Contents

The Company entered into a sublease agreement with Peacock Construction Inc., a California corporation, for office space located in San Francisco, California. The term of the sublease began on August 31, 2020 and will expire on May 31, 2021, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the contract. The rent under the sublease is $15,000 per month beginning October 1, 2020, which includes operating expenses and taxes. On October 1, 2020, the Company transitioned its operations from its existing premises to the sublease premises, which the Company expects will serve as its principal administrative headquarters.

In April 2021, The Company entered into a new office lease agreement (see Note 14).

The Company elected not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases, and instead recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a result, there was no right-of-use asset and lease liability recognized related to the sublease.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities including related salaries, clinical trials and related drug and non-drug product costs, contract services and other outside service expenses. Research and development expense is charged to operating expense in the period incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

The Company’s policy typically permits returns if the product is damaged, defective, or otherwise cannot be used when received by the customer if the product has expired. Returns are accepted for product that will expire within six months or that have expired up to one year after their expiration dates. Estimates for expected returns of expired products are based primarily on an ongoing analysis of our historical return patterns.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606 or when there is a transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

The Company does not adjust the amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the expected period between the transfer of promised goods or services and customer payment is one year or less.

The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs.

Additionally, the Company elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.

Contracts – Cardinal Health

Effective January 16, 2019, the Company engaged Cardinal Health as its exclusive third-party logistics distribution agent for commercial sales of the Company’s Mytesi product and to perform certain other services which include, without limitation, storage, distribution, returns, customer support, financial support, Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) and system access support (the “Exclusive Distribution Agreement”).

In addition to the terms and conditions of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, Cardinal Health’s purchase of products, and assumption of title therein, is set forth in the Title Model Addendum. The Title Model Addendum states

12


Table of Contents

that upon receipt of product at the 3PL Facility (Cardinal Health in La Vergne, Tennessee) from the Company, title and risk of loss for the Mytesi product purchased by Cardinal Health (excluding consigned inventory) shall pass to Cardinal Health, and title and risk of loss for consigned inventory shall remain with the Company until purchased by Cardinal Health in accordance with the Title Model Addendum. The Company considers Cardinal Health the Company’s exclusive customer for Mytesi products per the Exclusive Distribution Agreement.

The Company's Neonorm and botanical extract products are primarily sold to distributors, who then sell the products to the end customers. Since 2014, the Company has entered into several distribution agreements with established distributors such as Animart, Vedco, VPI, RJ Matthews, Covetrus, and Stockmen Supply to distribute the Company's products in the United States, Japan, and China. The distribution agreements and the related purchase order together meet the contract existence criteria under ASC 606-10-25-1. The Company sells directly to its customers without the use of an agent.

Performance obligations

For animal products sold by the Company, the single performance obligation identified above is the Company’s promise to transfer the Company’s animal products to distributors based on specified payment and shipping terms in the arrangement. Product warranties are assurance type warranties that do not represent a performance obligation. For the Company’s human product, Mytesi, the single performance obligation identified above is the Company’s promise to transfer Mytesi to Cardinal Health, the Company’s exclusive distributor for the product, based on specified payment and shipping terms as outlined in the Exclusive Distribution Agreement.

Transaction price

For contracts with Cardinal Health, for the Company, the transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The transaction price of Mytesi and Neonorm is the Wholesaler Acquisition Cost (“WAC”), net of discounts, returns, and price adjustments.

Allocate transaction price

For contracts with Cardinal Health, for the Company, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation contained in each contract.

Revenue recognition

For contracts with Cardinal Health, for the Company, a single performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon the free on board (“FOB”) terms of each contract when control, including title and all risks, has transferred to the customer.

Disaggregation of Product Revenue

Human

Sales of Mytesi are recognized as revenue at a point in time when the products are delivered to the wholesaler. Net revenues from the sale of Mytesi were $729,000 and $835,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Animal

The Company recognized Neonorm revenues of $33,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenues are recognized at a point in time upon shipment, which is when title and control is transferred to the buyer. Sales of Neonorm Calf and Foal to distributors are made under agreements that may provide distributor price adjustments and rights of return under certain circumstances.

Contracts – Specialty Pharmacies

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company engaged a private company as its third-party logistics distribution agent for commercial sales of the Company’s Mytesi product. Under the Specialty Product Distribution Agreement, the Company shall supply the products to the private company’s specialty pharmacies, through a designated wholesaler, in such amounts as may be ordered. There is no minimum purchase or inventory requirement. The specialty pharmacies were authorized distributors of record for all National Drug Codes (“NDCs”) of Mytesi.

Performance obligations

The single performance obligation identified above is the Company’s promise to transfer Mytesi to specialty pharmacies, based on specified payment and shipping terms as outlined in the Specialty Product Distribution Agreement.

Transaction price

For contracts with the private company, for the Company, the transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The transaction price of Mytesi is the WAC, net of estimated discounts, returns, and price adjustments.

Allocate transaction price

For contracts with the private company, for the Company, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation contained in each contract.

Revenue recognition

For contracts with the private company, for the Company, a single performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon the free on board (“FOB”) terms of each contract when control, including title and all risks, has transferred to the customer.

Disaggregation of Product Revenue

Sales of Mytesi are recognized as revenue at a point in time when the products are delivered to the specialty pharmacies. Net revenue from the sale of Mytesi to the specialty pharmacies were $479,000 and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Collaboration Revenue

Revenue recognition for collaboration agreements requires significant judgment. The Company’s assessments and estimates are based on contractual terms, historical experience and general industry practice. Revisions in these values or estimations have the effect of increasing or decreasing collaboration revenue in the period of revision.

On September 24, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution, License and Supply Agreement (“License Agreement”) with Knight Therapeutics ("Knight"). The License Agreement has a term of 15 years (with automatic renewals) and provides Knight with an exclusive right to commercialize current and future Jaguar human health products (including crofelemer, Lechlemer, and any product containing a proanthocyanidin or with an anti-secretory mechanism) in Canada and Israel. Knight forfeited its right of first negotiation for expansion to Latin America. Under the License Agreement, Knight is responsible for applying for and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals in the territory of Canada and Israel, as well as marketing, sales and distribution of the licensed products. Knight will pay a transfer price for all licensed products, and upon achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones, the Company may receive payments from Knight in an aggregate amount of up to approximately $18 million payable throughout the initial 15-year term of the agreement. The Company did not have any license revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Modifications to Liability-classified Instruments

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company amended the terms of its Exchange Note 2 (see Note 7). In accounting for debt modifications and exchange transactions, it is the Company’s policy to first determine whether it qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) pursuant to the guidance provided in ASC 470-60. A debt modification or exchange transaction that is not within the scope of the ASC 470-60 is accounted for under ASC 470-50 to determine if the transaction is a mere modification or an extinguishment.

The Company did not modify any liability-classified instrument for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Modifications to Equity-classified Instruments

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company modified certain equity-classified warrants (see Note 8). It is the Company’s policy to determine the impact of modifications to equity-classified warrants by analogy to the share-based compensation guidance of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The model for a modified share-based payment award that is classified as equity and remains classified in equity after the modification is addressed in ASC 718-20-35-3. Pursuant to that guidance, the incremental fair value from the modification is recognized as an expense in the statements of operations to the extent the modified instrument has a higher fair value; however, in certain circumstances, such as when an entire class of warrants are modified, the measured increase in fair value may be more appropriately recorded as a deemed dividend, depending upon the nature of the warrant modification.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company modified the terms of its Series B convertible preferred stock (see Note 9). For amendments to preferred stock, it is the Company’s policy to measure the impact by analogy to ASC 470-50 in determining if such an amendment is an extinguishment or a modification. If the amendment results in an extinguishment, the Company follows the SEC staff guidance in ASC 260-10-S99-2 and ASC 470-20. If the amendment results in a modification, the Company follows the model in either ASC 718 or ASC 470-50, depending on the nature of the amendment.

The Company did not modify any equity-classified instrument for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company's stock incentive plans (see Note 11) provide for the grant of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. The Company measures stock awards granted to employees, non-employees and directors at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes the corresponding compensation expense of the awards, net of estimated forfeiture over the requisite service periods, which correspond to the vesting periods of the awards. The Company issues stock awards with only service-based vesting conditions, and records compensation expense for these awards using the straight-line method.

The Company uses the grant date fair market value of its common stock to determine the grant date fair value of options granted to employees, non-employees and directors.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes Related to Uncertain Tax Positions. Under these principals, tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial

15


Table of Contents

statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Comprehensive Loss

For all periods presented, the comprehensive loss was equal to the net loss; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive loss is not included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year by the weighted-average number of common shares, including potential dilutive shares of common stock assuming the dilutive effect of potential dilutive securities. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share, because the impact of the potential dilutive shares of common stock would be anti-dilutive to the calculation of net loss per common share. Diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The standard also removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The main objective of the standard is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this standard replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023 with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The pronouncement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modification or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The ASU provides a “principles-based framework to determine whether an issue should recognize the modification or exchange as an adjustment to equity or an expense. The amendments in the update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain prior period amounts of cash flows from financing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified within the same category of cash flow activity to be consistent with the current period presentation. There were no reclassifications to other categories of cash flow activity and that the reclassification did not impact the profit or loss during the prior period.

3. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Warrant Liability

The warrants associated with the Level 3 warrant liability were the November 2016 Series A Warrants, the October 2018 Underwriter Warrants and the May 2020 Series 3 Warrants, which, at March 31, 2021, were valued at zero, $12,000 and zero respectively, in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The warrants associated with the Level 3 warrant liability activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 were the November 2016 Series A Warrants, the October 2018 Underwriter Warrants and the May 2020 Series 3 Warrants, which, at
December 31, 2020 were valued at zero, $4,000, and $175,000, respectively in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The November 2016 Series A Warrants

The Series A warrant valuation of zero at March 31, 2021 was computed using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model using a stock price of $1.80, a strike price of $787.50 per share, an expected term of 1.16 years, volatility of 184% and a risk-free discount rate of 0.16%. The Series A warrant valuation of zero at December 31, 2020 was computed using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model using a stock price of $0.82, a strike price of $787.50 per share, an expected term of 1.41 years, volatility of 148% and a risk-free discount rate of 0.13%. The change in fair value of the warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was zero.

The October 2018 Underwriter Warrants

The October 2018 Underwriter Warrants valuation of $12,000 at March 31, 2021 was computed using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model using a stock price of $1.80, a strike price of $52.50 per share, an expected term of 2.50 years, volatility of 169% and a risk-free discount rate of 0.35%. The October 2018 Underwriter Warrants valuation of $4,000 at December 31, 2020 was computed using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model using a stock price of $0.82, a strike price of $52.50 per share, an expected term of 2.76 years, volatility of 156% and a risk-free discount rate of 0.17%. The net increase in the fair value of the warrants of $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was recorded as a loss in the change in fair value of financial instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The May 2020 Series 3 Warrants

There were no outstanding May 2020 Series 3 Warrants as of March 31, 2021. The May 2020 Series 3 Warrants valuation of $175,000 at December 31, 2020 was computed using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model using a stock price of $0.82, a strike price of $0.00 per share, an expected term of 4.89 years, volatility of 142% and a risk-free discount rate of 0.36%. In January 2021, an investor received 406,250 Series 3 Warrants for the exercise of 406,250 2019 Bridge Note Warrants in accordance with the May 2020 Modification of the 2019 Bridge Note Warrants and Inducement Offer. The fair value of these Series 3 Warrants was $1.5 million on the issuance date. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, certain holders of the Series 3 Warrants agreed to exercise total of 620,750 shares for a 1-for-1 exchange of common shares in an Alternate Cashless Exercise. The aggregate fair value of the common stock issued upon the exercise of the Series 3 Warrants as of the exercise date was $1.8 million. The net increase in the fair value of the warrants of $139,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was recorded as a loss in the change in fair value of financial instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Streeterville Note

The fair value of the Streeterville Note at January 13, 2021, date of issuance and as of March 31, 2021 amounting to $6.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively, were based on the weighted average discounted expected future cash flows representing the terms of the note, discounting them to their present value equivalents. This was classified as Level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including the Company’s own credit risk.

18


Table of Contents

The Company determined and performed the valuations of the Streeterville Note with the assistance of an independent valuation service provider. On a quarterly basis, the Company considers the main Level 3 inputs used derived as follows:

Discount rate for the Streeterville note were determined using comparison of various effective yields on bonds as of the valuation date.
Market indications for vouchers, which affects the Return Bonus from the sale of Tropical Disease Priority Review Voucher (“TDPRV”).
Weighted probability of cash outflows was estimated based on the entity's knowledge of the business and how the current economic environment is likely to impact the timing of the cash outflows, attributed to the different repayment features of the note.

The following table summarizes the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

Fair Value Option

Beginning January 1, 2021, the Company elected to apply the FVO accounting to selected financial instruments to align the measurement attributes of those instruments under U.S. GAAP and to simplify the accounting model applied to those financial instruments. The Company elected to apply FVO accounting to the entire class of hybrid instruments, including structured notes, of which there are assessed embedded derivatives that would be eligible for bifurcation. Changes in the fair value of FVO assets and liabilities as well as the mark-to-market adjustment on the entire class of hybrid instruments, including derivatives and the net realized gains or losses on these instruments are reported in change in fair value of financial instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not note any fair value movement on FVO liabilities attributable to any instrument-specific credit risk, which is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

Hybrid Instruments

The Company elected to apply FVO accounting to all of the hybrid instruments issued, including structured notes. The valuation of the hybrid instruments is predominantly driven by the derivative features embedded within the instruments. The Company determined and performed the valuations of the hybrid instruments with the assistance of an independent valuation service provider. The valuation methodology utilized is consistent with the income approach for estimating the fair value of the interest-bearing portion of the instrument and the related derivatives. Cash flows of the hybrid instruments in their entirety, including the embedded derivatives, are discounted at an appropriate rate for the applicable duration of the instrument. Interest on the interest-bearing portion of the instrument that is held to maturity is aggregated as gain (loss) on instruments designated at fair value and related derivatives in the change in fair value of financial instruments and hybrid instruments designated at FVO of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., et al. (Jaguar Health, Inc. was formerly known as Jaguar Animal Health, Inc.), making claims arising under Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9, 17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9, promulgated thereunder by the SEC.

transactions related thereto. The Company accepted service of the complaint and summons on behalf of itself and the United States-based director Defendants on November 1, 2017. The Company has not accepted service on behalf of, and Plaintiff has not yet served, the non-U.S.-based director Defendants.

By order dated September 20, 2018, the court dismissed the lawsuit for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff was entitled to amend that complaint within 20 days from the date of dismissal. On October 10, 2018, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint to focus on the Company’s commercial strategy in support of Equilevia and the related disclosure statements in the Form S-4 described above. On November 6, 2018, the Defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. The court denied the Defendants’ motion to dismiss on June 28, 2019. The Company answered the second amended complaint on August 2, 2019; the answer denied the material allegations of the second amended complaint. Following the completion of document discovery, the parties engaged in a mediation that resulted in an agreement in principle to settle the litigation on a class-wide basis for $2.6 million, subject to court approval. Plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement on December 30, 2020. The court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement, and authorized Plaintiff to provide settlement class members with notice of the proposed settlement, in an order dated February 2, 2021. The final settlement approval hearing is currently scheduled for May 27, 2021.

Assuming that the court gives final approval to the proposed settlement following the final settlement approval hearing, the entire settlement consideration will be provided by the Company’s director and officer liability insurance carrier. Under the loss recovery model in ASC 450 and in reference to ASC 410, the ultimate net income effect of the recognized loss and the insurance proceeds directly related to the recognized loss is zero. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company concluded not to record any loss contingency and insurance recovery.

Settlement of Underwriter Fee

In August 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with an underwriter pursuant to which the underwriter would aid the Company in identifying certain financing transactions, in exchange for a percentage fee of any such financing and warrants. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company and the underwriter agreed on a final settlement for the underwriter services comprised of a cash payment, warrants and common stock. The cash payment amount totalled $387,000, of which $202,000 had been paid in 2019, and $185,000 was paid in 2020. The total warrant issuance payment consisted of the Company issuing 1,096 equity-classified warrants to the underwriter in 2018 and, in 2020, issuing an additional 100,780 equity-classified warrants (see Note 8) to the underwriter to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The common stock issuance payment consisted of the Company issuing 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the underwriter with a value of $45,000 in 2020. The Company classified the cash payments, warrant and common stock issuance payments as issuance costs in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity.

Sale of Future Royalty Interest

March 2020 Purchase Agreement

In March 2020, the Company entered into a royalty interest purchase agreement (the “March 2020 Purchase Agreement”) with Iliad, pursuant to which the Company sold to Iliad a royalty interest entitling Iliad to receive $500,000 of future royalties on sales of Mytesi and certain up-front license fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors (the “Royalty Repayment Amount”) for an aggregate purchase price of $350,000.

Until such time as the Royalty Repayment Amount has been paid in full, the Company will pay Iliad ten percent (10%) of the Company’s Net Sales on Included Products and ten percent (10%) of worldwide revenues related to upfront licensing fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors, but specifically excluding licensing fees and/or milestone payments that are reimbursements of clinical trial expenses (the “Royalty Payments”). Beginning on the six-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date and continuing until the 12-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date, the monthly Royalty Payment shall be the greater of (a) $25,000, and (b) the actual Royalty Payment amount Iliad is entitled to for such month. Beginning on the 12-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date and continuing

25


Table of Contents

until the Revenue Repayment Amount has been paid in full, the monthly Royalty Payment shall be the greater of (a) $44,000 and (b) the actual Royalty Payment amount Iliad is entitled to for such month.

The Royalty Interest amount of $500,000 is classified as debt, net of a $150,000 discount, at initial recognition. Under ASC 470-10-35-3, royalty payments to Iliad will be amortized under the interest method per ASC 835-30. Because there is no set interest rate, and because the royalty payments are variable, the discount rate is variable. After each royalty payment, the Company will use a prospective method to determine a new discount rate based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize interest expense for the remaining periods. At issuance, based on projected cash outflows from future revenue streams, the discount rate was 105%.

On July 10, 2020, the Company and Iliad entered into an amendment to the March 2020 Purchase Agreement to which the parties agreed that no royalty payments or other payment will be due prior to December 10, 2020. The Royalty Payments shall resume as of December 10, 2020, which Royalty Payment will cover Net Sales on Included Products and licensing fees and milestone payments for the month of November. In consideration of the amendment, the balance of the Royalty Repayment Amount as of July 10, 2020 was increased by 10%. All other terms remain unchanged. This amendment resulted in the Company accounting for the transaction as a TDR, under which the carrying amount of the debt remained unchanged but interest expense is computed using a new effective rate that equates the present value of future cash payments specified by the new terms with the carrying amount of the debt. Subsequent to March 2020, the Company had paid $283,000 of the $500,000 Royalty Interest Amount.

In November 2020, the Company and Iliad entered into an exchange agreement pursuant to which the Company issued 1,314,974 shares of common stock in exchange for the outstanding balance of the debt as of November 16, 2020. The exchange agreement was accounted for as a TDR.

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the debt was zero.

October 2020 Purchase Agreement

On October 8, 2020, the Company entered into another royalty interest purchase agreement (the “October 2020 Purchase Agreement”) with Iliad, pursuant to which the Company sold to Iliad a royalty interest entitling Iliad to receive $12.0 million of future royalties on sales of Mytesi and certain up-front license fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors (the “Royalty Repayment Amount”) for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.

Until such time as the Royalty Repayment Amount has been paid in full, the Company will pay Iliad 10% of the Company’s net sales on included products and 10% of worldwide revenues related to upfront licensing fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors, but specifically excluding licensing fees and/or milestone payments that are reimbursements of clinical trial expenses (the “Royalty Payments”). Beginning on the six-month anniversary of the delivery of the October 2020 Purchase Agreement to the Company (the “Purchase Price Date”) and continuing until the 12-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date, the monthly Royalty Payment shall be the greater of (a) $250,000, and (b) the actual Royalty Payment amount Iliad is entitled to for such month. Beginning on the 12-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date and continuing until 18-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date, the monthly Royalty Payment shall be the greater of (a) $400,000 and (b) the actual Royalty Payment amount Iliad is entitled to for such month. Beginning on the 18-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date and continuing until 24-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date, the monthly Royalty Payment shall be the greater of (a) $600,000 and (b) the actual Royalty Payment amount Iliad is entitled to for such month. Beginning on the 24-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date and continuing until the Royalty Repayment Amount has been paid in full, the monthly Royalty Payment shall be the greater of (a) $750,000, and (b) the actual Royalty Payment amount Iliad is entitled to for such month.

The Royalty Interest amount of $12.0 million is classified as debt, net of a $6.0 million discount, at initial recognition. Under ASC 470-10-35-3, royalty payments to Iliad will be amortized under the interest method per ASC 835-30. Because there is no set interest rate, and because the royalty payments are variable, the discount rate is variable.

26


Table of Contents

After each royalty payment, the Company will use a prospective method to determine a new discount rate based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize interest expense for the remaining periods. At issuance, based on projected cash outflows from future revenue streams, the discount rate was 34.51%.

Pursuant to the October 2020 Purchase Agreement, if the weekly volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock is not equal or greater than the minimum VWAP of $0.3035 at least twice during each calendar month during the six-month period beginning on November 1, 2020, then the Royalty Repayment Amount will be automatically be increased by $6.0 million at the end of such six-month period. During the observation period starting November 1, 2020, the Company’s weekly VWAP failed to reach the minimum VWAP of $0.3035 and on November 13, 2020, the Company concluded that the contingent clause has been met, warranting an additional $6.0 million Royalty Repayment Amount, to be added to the outstanding balance commencing on May 10, 2021 for the purpose of cash interest calculation. The change in the Royalty Repayment Amount was accounted for as a debt modification and resulted in a new discount rate of 45.42%. As of March 31, 2021, the forecasted future revenues remained the same based on management assessment, thus, the discount rate remained at 45.42%.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1.1 million. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the debt is $7.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

December 2020 Purchase Agreement

On December 22, 2020, the Company entered into a royalty interest purchase agreement (the “December 2020 Purchase Agreement”) with Irving Park Capital, LLC (“Irving”), a company affiliated with CVP, pursuant to which the Company sold to Irving a royalty interest entitling Irving to receive $12.0 million of future royalties on sales of Mytesi and certain up-front license fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors (the “Royalty Repayment Amount”) for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.

Until such time as the Royalty Repayment Amount has been paid in full, the Company will pay Irving 10% of the Company’s Net Sales on Included Products and 10% of worldwide revenues related to upfront licensing fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors, but specifically excluding licensing fees and/or milestone payments that are reimbursements of clinical trial expenses (the “Royalty Payments”). Beginning on the payment start date of March 8, 2024 and continuing until the 12-month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date, the monthly Royalty Payment shall be the greater of (a) $750,000, and (b) the actual Royalty Payment amount Irving is entitled to for such month.

The Royalty Interest amount of $12.0 million is classified as debt, net of a $6.0 million discount, at initial recognition. Under ASC 470-10-35-3, royalty payments to Irving will be amortized under the interest method per ASC 835-30. Because there is no set interest rate, and because the royalty payments are variable, the discount rate is variable. After each royalty payment, the Company will use a prospective method to determine a new discount rate based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize interest expense for the remaining periods. At issuance, based on projected cash outflows from future revenue streams, the discount rate was 23.70%. As of March 31, 2021, the forecasted future revenues remained the same based on management assessment, thus, the discount rate remained at 23.70%.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $664,000. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the debt is $6.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

March 2021 Purchase Agreement

On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “March 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”), a company affiliated with CVP, pursuant to which the Company sold a royalty interest entitling Streeterville to $10.0 million and any interest, fees, and charges as royalty repayment amount

for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million. Interest will accrue on the royalty repayment amount at a rate of 5% per annum, compounding quarterly, and will increase to 10% per annum, compounding quarterly on the 12-month anniversary of the closing date.

The Company will be obligated to make minimum royalty payments on a monthly basis beginning at the earlier of (a) 36 months following the closing date or (b) 30 days following the satisfaction of all existing royalties to Streeterville, and its affiliates namely Iliad and Irving, but not earlier than 18 months following the closing date in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $250,000 beginning on the royalty payment start date and continuing until either the royalty repayment amount has been paid in full or the 6-month anniversary of the royalty payment start date, $400,000 beginning on the 6-month anniversary of the royalty payment start date and continuing until either the royalty repayment amount has been paid in full or the 12-month anniversary of the royalty payment start date, $600,000 beginning on the 12-month anniversary of the royalty payment start date and continuing until either the royalty repayment amount has been paid in full or the 18-month anniversary of the royalty payment start date, $750,000 beginning on the 18-month anniversary of the royalty payment start date and continuing until the royalty repayment amount has been paid in full, and (ii) 10% of the Company’s net sales on included products, 10% of worldwide revenues related to upfront licensing fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors but specifically excluding licensing fees and/or milestone payments that are reimbursements of clinical trial expenses or associated with the license of Included Products from the Company to Napo EU, including but not limited to the upfront fee payable by Napo EU to Napo for included products and Crofelemer for other indications; and 50% of royalties collected from licenses of the included products to third parties.

The Royalty Interest amount of $10.0 million is classified as debt, net of a $5.0 million discount, at initial recognition. Under ASC 470-10-35-3, royalty payments to Streeterville will be amortized under the interest method per ASC 835-30. Because there is no set interest rate, and because the royalty payments are variable, the discount rate is variable. After each royalty payment, the Company will use a prospective method to determine a new discount rate based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize interest expense for the remaining periods. At issuance, based on projected cash outflows from future revenue streams, the discount rate was 19.36%. As of March 31, 2021, the forecasted future revenues remained the same based on management assessment, thus, the discount rate remained at 19.36%.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $62,000. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the debt is $5.0 million.

Streeterville Note

On January 13, 2021, the Company issued a secured promissory note to Streeterville in the original principal amount of $6.2 million for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million. The Company will use the proceeds to fund development of the Company’s NP-300 (lechlemer) drug product candidate for the indication of the symptomatic relief of diarrhea from cholera and general corporate purposes, including the Company’s product pipeline activities. The note is due after four years and bears interest at 3.25% per annum. Interest on the note is payable annually in advance by adding the interest charge for each upcoming year to the outstanding balance on the date each such interest charge is accrued. The Company also paid $25,000 to cover legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the note. The first year of prepaid interest and the transaction expenses are included in the original principal amount.

At any time following the occurrence of a trial failure which refers to any of the following: (i) the Company abandons the clinical trial with lechlemer for an indication for the symptomatic relief of infectious diarrhea for cholera; (ii) the Company fails to start the Phase 1 clinical trial of lechlemer for the symptomatic relief of infectious diarrhea for cholera by July 1, 2022; or (iii) the Company fails to meet all primary endpoints in the pivotal trials of Lechlemer for the symptomatic relief if infectious diarrhea for cholera with statistical significance, Streeterville may elect to increase the outstanding balance as of the date of the trial failure by 25% without acceleration (the “Trial Failure Effect”). If Streeterville elects to apply the Trial Failure Effect, it reserves the right to declare the outstanding balance immediately due and payable at any time. As of March 31, 2021, no trial failure occurred.

Table of Contents

Streeterville is entitled to a maximum of 18% and a minimum of 1% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of TDPRV (the “Return Bonus”). The Return Bonus percentage is reduced pro rata based on the percentage of the original principal balance of the note that has been repaid as of the date of the sale of the TDPRV. Even if the note has been paid in full at the time of the sale of the TDPRV, the Company is still obliged to pay Streeterville a Return Bonus of 1%. If Streeterville applies the Trial Failure Effect, the Return Bonus will automatically be reduced to 1%. If the TDPRV has not been sold as of the day immediately preceding the maturity date of the note, the Return Bonus percentage will be fixed as of such date. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has not sold any TDPRV.

Beginning on the earlier of (a) 6 months after January 2021, and (b) initiation of human trials with lechlemer for symptomatic relief of infectious diarrhea for cholera, the Company may pay all or any portion of the outstanding balance earlier than it is due. In the event the Company elects to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance, it shall pay to Streeterville 112.5% of the portion of the outstanding balance the Company elects to prepay. The Company may not prepay the note without the Streeterville’s consent on the date the last patient is enrolled in a pivotal trial.

After Streeterville becomes aware of the occurrence of any default, Streeterville may accelerate the note, with the outstanding balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount (i.e., the outstanding balance following the application of the Default Effect). Streeterville reserves the right to declare the outstanding balance immediately due and payable at any time following the default. Default Effect means multiplying the outstanding balance as of the date of default by 5% or 15% for each occurrence of default, capped at an aggregate of 25%, and then adding the resulting product to the outstanding balance. The percentage to be used depends on whether the default is viewed as minor or major as defined in the agreement. Furthermore, interest accrues on the outstanding balance beginning on the date of default at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. As of March 31, 2021, no default has occurred.

In connection with the note issuance, the Company has entered into a security agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which Streeterville will receive a first priority security interest in all existing and future lechlemer technology, and any TDPRV and the sale proceeds therefrom that may be granted to the Company by the FDA in connection with the development of lechlemer for the cholera indication. The Company also agreed, with certain exceptions, not to grant any lien on any of the collateral securing the note and not to grant any license under any of the intellectual property relating to such collateral. The grant of security interest has become effective upon the receipt of the Salix Waiver on April 6, 2021 in observance to the requirement of the settlement agreement previously entered by the Company with Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The Company irrevocably elected to initially and subsequently apply the FVO accounting to the entire note. The fair value at transaction date was equal to the cash proceeds received of $6.0 million. The transaction expense of $25,000 was recognized in profit and loss as incurred. The Company used the valuation report from an independent valuation service provided to measure the reporting date fair value of the note. At March 31, 2021, the fair value was determined to be $6.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the net increase in the fair value of $452,000 was recorded as a loss included in the change in fair value of financial instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

2019 Tempesta Note

In October 2019, the Company entered into a License Termination and Settlement Agreement with Dr. Michael Tempesta, pursuant to which certain royalty payment disputes between the Company and Tempesta were settled. Per the terms of the Agreement, Tempesta received $50,000 in cash, an unsecured promissory note issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000 and 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the cessation of all royalty payments by the Company to Dr. Tempesta under the License Agreements. The $550,000 promissory note bears interest at the rate of 2.5% per annum and matures on March 1, 2025. The promissory note provides for the Company to make semi-annual payments equal to $50,000 plus accrued interest beginning on March 1, 2020 until the Note is paid in full. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the net carrying value of the note was $400,000 and $450,000, respectively.

Oasis Secured Borrowing

The Purchase Agreement

In May 2020, the Company, entered into a one-year Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Oasis Capital (“Oasis”), pursuant to which Oasis may from time to time at its discretion purchase accounts receivable of the Company on a recourse basis, at a purchase price equal to 37.5% of the face amount of the first purchase, and at a purchase price equal to 42.5% for subsequent purchased accounts (“Purchase Price”). With respect to purchased accounts, in the event that Oasis receives more than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the face amount of such purchased account multiplied by 0.0545 and (ii) the Purchase Price (such amount, the “Threshold Price”) from collection on such purchased accounts, then Oasis will return any such excess overage amount (the “Overage”) to the Company, as applicable, within five days after Oasis’s receipt thereof.

In the event Oasis does not receive at least the Threshold Price for a purchased account on or before such account becomes due and payable, the Company will, at Oasis’s election, be obligated to either (i) pay the difference between the Threshold Price and the amount received by Oasis for such account (the “Shortfall”) within 30 days thereof, or (ii) assign or transfer to Oasis additional accounts receivable with a Purchase Price equal to (A) the Shortfall plus (B) an amount equal to 25% of the Shortfall (the “Additional Amount”).

The initial term of the Purchase Agreement is one year, which will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless notice of non-renewal is provided by the Company at least 30 days prior to the expiration of a term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Oasis or the Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement on 60 days prior written notice. Under the Purchase Agreement, Oasis is entitled to a transaction fee of $25,000 and may be entitled to additional transaction fees to the extent Oasis acquires additional accounts receivable under the Purchase Agreement, which fees will not exceed $5,000 per transaction.

Per the Purchase Agreement, the Company will service and administer the purchased accounts receivable for Oasis. Oasis appointed the Company to be its agent and servicer for monitoring and collecting the accounts receivable subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Company will perform its duties in a commercially reasonable manner and agrees that Company will not commence any legal action with respect to such servicing and collection efforts and shall not terminate, discharge, discount or write off any accounts receivable without Oasis's prior written consent.

The Company, having determined that it did not meet the criteria per ASC 860-10-40-5 to account for the transactions under the Purchase Agreement as sales, accounts for such transactions as secured borrowings in accordance with ASC 860-30, “Transfers – Secured Borrowings and Collateral.”

Exchange Note 2

In May 2019, the Company and CVP entered into an exchange agreement whereby CVP purchased the two outstanding Napo convertible notes and all rights thereof from the current debt holders. Subject to the terms of the exchange agreement, CVP and the Company agreed to exchange the two Napo convertible notes for a single CVP Note (“Exchange Note 1”). The maturity date of Exchange Note 1 was December 31, 2020, with an interest rate of 10%. Per the terms of the exchange agreement, CVP agreed to extend the maturity date from December 31, 2019 (the same maturity date carried over from the two Napo convertible notes) to December 31, 2020; in consideration of this extension, the Company issued a note (“Exchange Note 2”) with a principal balance of $2.3 million. The maturity date of Exchange Note 2 is December 31, 2020, with an interest rate of 10%. Between September 2020 and November 2020, the Company and CVP entered into a series of note exchange agreements pursuant to which the Company made prepayments of principal and related accrued interest of an aggregate amount of $5.0 million, in lieu of making cash payments to CVP on Exchange Note 1, by issuing a total of 20,221,724 shares of the Company’s common stock to CVP. The series of exchanges was accounted for as an extinguishment which resulted in a loss of $560,000.

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of Exchange Note 1 was zero.

In September 2020, the Company and CVP also entered into a global amendment agreement, pursuant to which the maturity date of Exchange Note 2 is extended to December 31, 2021. In consideration of CVP’s grant of extension, together with the related fees and other accommodation set forth, principal debt was increased by 5% of the outstanding balance of Exchange Note 2, which was $2.6 million as of the global amendment date. The global amendment requires redemption of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock prior to payment of principal of Exchange Note 2. The Company determined the incremental value of cash flows amounting to $228,000 with the assistance of an independent valuation service provider, based on weighted probability assumptions of various settlement conditions and penalties stipulated in the contract therein. The global amendment agreement was accounted for as a modification; hence a new effective rate was determined at the date of modification that equated the revised cash flows to the carrying amount of the note.

Pursuant to the global amendment agreement, the Company issued 842,500 shares of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock. The Series D Perpetual Preferred shares were redeemable upon the option or discretion of the Company. The Series D Perpetual Preferred stockholders were entitled to receive 8% cumulative stock dividends, to be payable in arrears on a monthly basis for 24 consecutive months. Dividends payable on the Series D perpetual preferred shares shall be payable through the Company’s issuance of Series D Perpetual Preferred share by delivering to each record holder the calculated number of payment-in-kind (“PIK”) dividend shares. The Series D Perpetual Preferred shares were classified

32


Table of Contents

as liability and were measured at fair value using the income approach, which considered the weighted probability of discounted cash flows at various scenarios of redemption and perpetual holding of the shares. The Company determined the fair value of $6.4 million at contract inception date with the assistance of an independent valuation service provider to be based on discounted cash flows representing the settlement value of the shares and cumulative dividends issued using an effective borrowing rate of 12% to 15% adjusted for counterparty and a maturity date of September 30, 2021. In consideration of the global amendment agreement, no principal payment shall be made to the Exchange Note 2 until the redemption of Series D Perpetual Preferred shares. Due to the restrictive nature of the timing of cash outflows in response to the settlement of the Exchange Note 2, Series D Perpetual Preferred shares were implicitly deemed to be mandatorily redeemable upon the ultimate settlement of the outstanding balance of Exchange Note 2. The shares were redeemable at $8.00 per share on or before December 31, 2024, the date in which contractual cash outflows of the Exchange Note 2 require the entire settlement or redemption of the Series D Perpetual Preferred shares. In December 2020, the Company entered into a series of exchange agreements with a stockholder pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a total of 15,889,871 shares of common stock in exchange for redeeming 859,348 shares of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock. The series of exchanges was accounted for as an extinguishment which resulted to a loss amounting to $1.3 million. This is included in loss on extinguishment of debt and conversion of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock on the statement of operations as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no Series D Perpetual Preferred shares outstanding.

In December 2020, the Company and CVP entered into a note exchange agreement to which the Company made a prepayment of principal amounting to $1.0 million, in lieu of making cash payments to CVP on Exchange Note 2, by issuing 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to CVP on December 31, 2020. The exchange agreement was accounted for as a modification.

In January 2021, the Company and CVP entered into another note exchange agreement to which the Company made a prepayment of the remaining outstanding balance of Exchange Note 2 amounting to $1.8 million, in lieu of making cash payments to CVP by issuing 1,413,606 shares of the Company’s common stock to CVP on January 4, 2021. The exchange was accounted for as debt extinguishment which resulted in a loss of $753,000.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of Exchange Note 2, net of discount, was zero and $1.4 million.

registration statement, then the holders of the 8,670,852 warrants may exercise the warrants in a “cashless exercise,” under which the holders will receive the aggregate warrants less the number of warrants equal to the exercise price; or (ii) a cashless exercise feature wherein, regardless if there is an effective registration agreement, following the requisite Stockholder Approval, each such Series 3 Warrant will be exercisable into one share of common stock for no consideration (the “Alternate Cashless Exercise”).

March 2019 LOC Warrant

In March 2019, in consideration of a letter of credit cancellation related to the Company’s office lease, the Company issued a warrant to purchase warrant shares equal to a fixed principal amount divided by a variable exercise price. The warrants were initially classified as liabilities pursuant to ASC 480-10 due to their debt-like nature. On
July 23, 2019, upon the exercise price of the warrants becoming fixed, the warrants became exercisable into 45,750 shares of the Company’s common stock and were reclassified to additional paid-in-capital with a fair value of $71,000.

2019 Bridge Note Warrants

Between March 18, 2019 and June 26, 2019, concurrent to the Company entering into Promissory Notes of $5.1 million, the Company issued twenty-one warrants to purchase warrant shares equal to a fixed principal amount divided by a variable exercise price. The warrants for all twenty-one Bridge Notes Warrants were initially liability classified pursuant to ASC 480-10 due to their debt-like nature. On July 23, 2019, upon the exercise price of the warrants becoming fixed, the warrants became exercisable into 2,781,250 shares of the Company’s common stock and were reclassified to additional paid-in-capital with a fair value of $4.3 million, calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model using a stock price of $1.73, a strike price of $2.00 per share, an average expected term of 4.80 years, volatility of 145.84% and a risk-free discount rate of 1.76%.

February 2020 Modification of Certain 2019 Bridge Note Warrants

In February 2020, the Company entered into a warrant exercise agreement with a holder of its Bridge Note Warrants, pursuant to which the holder agreed to exercise 250,000 Bridge Notes Warrants in consideration of the Company lowering the exercise price of the 250,000 warrants from $2.00 to $0.692. Upon exercise of the warrants, the Company received cash proceeds of $173,000 and, in turn, issued 250,000 common shares. It is the Company’s policy to determine the impact of modifications to equity-classified warrants by analogy to the share-based compensation guidance per ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Pursuant to that guidance, and due to the modification being applicable only to a single holder of the Bridge Note Warrants, the incremental increase of $7,000 in fair value of the modified warrants was recorded as an expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

May 2020 Modification of the 2019 Bridge Note Warrants and Inducement Offer

In May 2020, the Company reduced the exercise price of all outstanding 2019 Bridge Note Warrants from $2.00 per share to $0.49 per share. The Company determined the impact of this modification to be an increase in the fair value of the warrants of $166,000. Because the modification applied to the entire class of Bridge Warrant holders, the increase in fair value represented a deemed dividend to the entire class of Bridge Warrant holders. The modification did not result in the reclassification of the equity-classified Bridge Note Warrants from additional paid-in-capital to liability classification.

In May 2020, concurrent with the reduction of the exercise price of the Bridge Note Warrants, the Company entered into a warrant exercise inducement offer with certain holders of the Bridge Note Warrants, pursuant to which such holders agreed to exercise for cash Bridge Notes Warrants to purchase 93,750 shares of common stock, in exchange for the Company’s issuing to the exercising holders new unregistered Series 3 Warrants to purchase 93,750 shares of common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, an aggregate of 1,331,250 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of the Bridge Note Warrants for total proceeds of $652,000.

A total of 571,875 and 1,903,125, 2019 Bridge Notes Warrants were outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The conversion price was subject to certain adjustments in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization. The preferred stock was classified outside of stockholders' equity in accordance with authoritative guidance for the classification and measurement of potentially redeemable securities.

Table of Contents

In September 2020, the Company and Sagard Capital entered into an exchange agreement, by which the remaining Series A Convertible Preferred shares were exchanged for (i) 842,500 shares of the Company’s Series C Perpetual Preferred shares, and (ii) 842,500 shares of the Company’s Series D Perpetual Preferred shares, all issued to Iliad. The exchange agreement was entered into to effect a share-for-share exchange transaction. The Series A Convertible Preferred shares were cancelled upon surrender, and the Company issued Iliad the Series C and Series D Perpetual Preferred shares. The exchange agreement was treated as an extinguishment of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of the exchange date, the related extinguishment required recording derecognition of the Series A accreted value and recording Series C and Series D at fair value.

In September 2020, the Company filed a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware effecting the retirement and cancellation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2020, there were no Series A Convertible Preferred shares authorized or outstanding.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In July 2019, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement relating to the public offering comprised of (1) 2,886,500 Class A Units, priced at a public offering price of $2.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s voting common stock, (ii) one Series 1 warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock and (2) 10,787 Class B Units, priced at a public offering price of $1,000 per unit, with each Class B unit consisting of (i) one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 and convertible into 500 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 500 Series 1 Warrants and (iii) 500 Series 2 Warrants, at a public offering price of $1,000 per Class B Unit.

The Company sold 10,787 Class B Units, comprised of 10,787 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 1 warrants to purchase 5,393,500 shares of common stock and Series 2 warrants to purchase 5,393,500 shares of common stock. The total gross proceeds to the Company from the offering of the Class B Units were $10.8 million of which $4.2 million was allocated to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $3.3 million to the Series 1 Warrants and $3.3 million to the Series 2 Warrants. Issuance costs of $1.6 million were allocated to the Class B Units.

Holders of the Series B shares were entitled to participate equally and ratably with the holders of shares of common stock in all dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of the common stock as if, immediately prior to each record date of the common stock, the shares of Series B then outstanding were converted into shares of common stock. With certain exceptions, the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock had no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series B Certificate of Designation or (b) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into 500 shares of Common Stock, which conversion ratio will be subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations and other similar transactions.

In July 2019, the effective conversion price per share was less than the fair value of the underlying common stock. As a result, the Company determined that there was a Beneficial Conversion Feature of $4.2 million. Because the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock does not have a stated conversion date and was immediately convertible at the issuance date, the Company recorded a deemed dividend charge of $4.2 million for the accretion of the discount on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. During 2019, certain investors converted 8,816 Series B Convertible Preferred shares into 4,408,000 shares of the Company’s common shares at the stated conversion ratio. The preferred stock has been classified in stockholders' equity in accordance with authoritative guidance.

In March 2020, the Company entered into a Warrant Exercise and Preferred Stock Amendment Agreement (“Amendment Agreement”) with a Ionic Ventures of its Series 2 Warrants, pursuant to which the holder agreed to exercise in cash its Series 2 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, in consideration of the Company reducing the warrant exercise price from $2.00 to $0.5227 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $653,000 (see Note 8). As a further inducement to enter into the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock from $2.00 to $0.4456,

resulting in the application of accounting for modification of preferred stock instruments under ASC 260-10-S99-2 where the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the net carrying amount of the convertible preferred stock is treated as a dividend and must be deducted from net income in arriving at income available to common stockholders. Because the reduction to the conversion price was an inducement, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-20, resulting in the recording of an inducement charge of $1.6 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

In September 2020, the Company filed a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware effecting the retirement and cancellation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2020, there were no Series B Convertible Preferred shares authorized or outstanding.

Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock

In December 2019, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Oasis Capital, pursuant to which Oasis Capital gave up (i) its remaining unexercised Prepaid Forward contracts exercisable for 1,236,223 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) 695,127 common shares held as an investment by Oasis Capital, in exchange for 10,165 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock.

Holders of the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock. No other dividends shall be paid on shares of the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock.

The shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series B-2 Certificate of Designation or (b) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Holders of the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company the same amount that a holder of common stock would receive if the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock were fully converted to Common Stock which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of common stock.

Each share of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into 190 shares of Common Stock, as determined by dividing the $153.90 stated value of each Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Share by the $0.81 conversion price ($153.90 divided by 0.81 = 190 conversion ratio), and which conversion ratio is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations and other similar transactions as specified in the Series B-2 Certificate of Designation. The Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock was classified in stockholders' equity in accordance with authoritative guidance.

In January 2020, a holder of the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock converted 2,631 preferred shares into 499,890 shares of common stock. In October 2020, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Oasis Capital pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 500,186 shares of common stock in exchange for 975 shares of the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. The exchange agreement was accounted for as a modification. In December 2020, an investor converted the remaining 6,559 Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock into a total of 1,246,210 shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no Series B-2 Convertible Preferred shares outstanding.

Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock

In September 2020, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Iliad to issue 842,500 shares of the Company's Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock at $0.0001 par value per share, for a non-cash exchange of equity instruments. The exchange agreement was contemporaneously entered with the issuance of Series D Perpetual Preferred shares, in exchange of remaining Series A Convertible Preferred shares totaling 5,524,926 shares, and accreted value of $11.2 million as of the exchange date. An amendment agreement of the Exchange Note 2 was also entered into, with issuance value of $2.3 million and carrying value of $2.6 million as of the exchange date, to extend maturity from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, in consideration of 5% increase in the outstanding balance.

Holders of the Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock were not entitled to voting rights. However, as long as any Series C Perpetual Preferred share is outstanding, the Company is restricted to alter, change, or enter into an agreement to alter or change adversely the powers, preferences, or rights given to the shareholders.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or deemed liquidation event, the holders of Series C Perpetual Preferred shares then outstanding would be entitled to be paid in cash out of the assets of the Company before any payment shall be made to the holders of common stock or shares of any series or class of preferred or other capital stock then outstanding that by its terms is junior to the Series C Perpetual Preferred shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon such liquidation event by reason of their ownership, an amount per share of Series C equal to one times the Series C original issue price.

The Series C Perpetual Preferred shares were redeemable upon the option or discretion of the Company.

The Series C Perpetual Preferred shares were entitled to receive 10% cumulative stock dividends, to be payable in arrears on a monthly basis for 24 consecutive months. Dividends payable on the Series C Perpetual Preferred shares shall be payable through the Company’s issuance of Series C Perpetual Preferred share by delivering to each record holder the calculated number of PIK dividend shares.

The Series C Perpetual Preferred shares were initially measured at fair value using the income approach, which considered the weighted probability of discounted cash flows at various scenarios of redemption by the Company or liquidation event and perpetual holding of the shares. As of the date of exchange, total fair value of the Series C Perpetual Preferred shares amounted to $4.7 million. Subsequently, the carrying amount of Series C Perpetual Preferred shares increased as the PIK dividend shares were recognized.

The preferred stock has been classified as permanent stockholders' equity in accordance with authoritative guidance for the classification and measurement of perpetual shares without mandatory redemption period because the redemption option was ultimately in the control of the Company.

In October 2020, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Iliad pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a total of 250,000 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 7,057,692 shares of common stock in exchange for 285,000 shares of Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock. The pre-funded warrants were exercisable immediately and could be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants were exercised in full. The nominal exercise price of each pre-funded warrant was $0.0001. In December 2020, the Company also entered into a series of exchange agreements with Iliad pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a total of 8,203,880 shares of common stock in exchange for 573,810 shares of Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock. The series of exchanges were viewed as singular transaction, hence combined for purposes of accounting for the subsequent amendments. The series of exchanges was accounted for as an extinguishment which resulted in a $2.5 million deemed dividend, recorded against additional paid-in capital, for the difference between the fair value of the shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants transferred and the carrying amount of the Series C Perpetual Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2020, Iliad had exercised all pre-funded warrants for $1,000.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no Series C Perpetual Preferred shares outstanding.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held. The common stockholders are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds and assets are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors.

The holders of non-voting common stock are not entitled to vote, except on an as converted basis with respect to any change of control of the Company that is submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval. Shares of the Company's non-voting common stock have the same rights to dividends and other distributions and are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis.

The Company is authorized to issue a total number of 204,475,074 shares, of which 150,000,000 shares are common stock, 50,000,000 are non-voting common stock and 4,475,074 are preferred stock.

Reverse Stock-splits

On December 22, 2020, the Company obtained approval through a special shareholders meeting held on December 9, 2020 to effect a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting common stock at a ratio not less than 1-for-2 and not greater than 1-for-20. As of March 31, 2021, the reverse stock split has not yet been effectuated.

March 2020 ELOC (Equity Line of Credit)

In March 2020, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “March 2020 ELOC”) with Oasis Capital, which provides that Oasis Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $2.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock over the 36-month term of the March 2020 ELOC.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the March 2020 ELOC, on any trading day selected by the Company (such date the “Put Date”), after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement registering the sale of the shares of common stock that may be issued to Oasis Capital under the March 2020 ELOC, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to present to Oasis Capital with a purchase notice (each a “Put Notice”), directing Oasis Capital to purchase up to the lesser of (i) 200,000 shares of common stock or (ii) 20% of the average trading volume of common stock in the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of such Put Notice, at a per share price equal to $0.436 (each an “Option 1 Put”), provided that the aggregate of all Option 1 Puts and Option 2 Puts (described below) does not exceed $2.0 million.

In addition, on any date on which Oasis Capital receives shares of common stock in connection with a Put Notice (the “Clearing Date”), the Company also has the right, in its sole discretion, to present to Oasis Capital with a Put Notice (each an “Option 2 Put”) directing Oasis Capital to purchase an amount of common stock equal to the lesser of (i)

42


Table of Contents

such amount that equals 10% of the daily trading volume of the common stock on the date of such Put Notice and (ii) $200,000, provided that the aggregate amount of the Option 1 Put and Option 2 Put on any Put Date or Clearing Date does not exceed $500,000 and the aggregate amount of all Option 1 Puts and Option 2 Puts does not exceed $2.0 million. The purchase price per share pursuant to such Option 2 Put is equal to $0.436. The threshold price and the purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during the period used to compute the threshold price or the purchase price.

On April 15, 2020, the SEC declared effective the registration statement registering the sale of the shares of common stock issued to Oasis Capital under the March 2020 ELOC. The Company will control the timing and amount of sales of common stock to Oasis Capital. Oasis Capital has no right to require any sales by the Company but is obligated to make purchases from the Company as directed by the Company in accordance with the March 2020 ELOC.

In connection with the equity line, the Company agreed to pay Oasis Capital a commitment fee and in April 2020, in settlement of the commitment fee, the Company issued to Oasis Capital 68,807 shares of common stock. At issuance, the 68,807 shares of common stock had a fair value of $33,027, and were expensed as an issuance cost in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Per the terms of the equity purchase agreement, the Option Put 1 and Option Put 2 may be exercised only at a price that is always above the trading price of the underlying common stock at the exercise date, thereby rendering any exercise by the Company being out-of-the-money. At inception of the equity line on March 24, 2020, the Put Options were classified as derivative assets with a fair value of zero, and upon an effective registration statement on
April 15, 2020, were reclassified to stockholders’ equity with a fair value of zero.

In April 2020, the Company exercised a single Put Option Put 1 under which the Company sold 52,000 common shares to Oasis for gross proceeds of $22,627. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had not exercised any further put options to require Oasis Capital to purchase common stock under the equity purchase agreement.

On April 7, 2021, the Company and Oasis Capital entered into a First Amendment to the March 2020 ELOC (see Note 14).

March 2020 PIPE Financing

In March 2020, Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “PIPE Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors in a private placement an aggregate of 1,714,283 shares of the Company’s common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $720,000, or $668,000 net of $52,000 of issuance costs.

On October 5, 2020, the Company entered into an ATM Agreement with Ladenburg, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through Ladenburg, shares of common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement. The ATM Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) October 5, 2022 and (ii) termination of the ATM Agreement as permitted therein. In 2020, the Company sold 3,814,925 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.3 million after commissions and expenses of approximately $40,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 which was filed to SEC on
March 31, 2021.

The discussion and analysis below includes certain forward-looking statements related to our research and development and commercialization of our products in the U.S., our future financial condition and results of operations and potential for profitability, the sufficiency of our cash resources, our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing or other means of accelerating the payment of accounts receivable, if needed, possible partnering or other strategic opportunities for the development of our products, as well as other statements related to the progress and timing of product development, present or future licensing, collaborative or financing arrangements or that otherwise relate to future periods, which are all forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements represent, among other things, the expectations, beliefs, plans and objectives of management and/or assumptions underlying our judgments concerning the future financial performance and other matters discussed in this document. The words “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “project,” and “expect” and similar expressions are intended to connote forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, that could cause our actual commercialization efforts, financial condition and results of operations, and business prospects and opportunities to differ materially from these expressed in, or implied by, those forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to place significant reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. These statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of the date of this report (unless another date is indicated), and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a commercial stage pharmaceuticals company focused on developing novel, sustainably derived gastrointestinal products on a global basis. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”), focuses on developing and commercializing proprietary human gastrointestinal pharmaceuticals for the global marketplace from plants used traditionally in rainforest areas. Our Mytesi (“crofelemer”) product is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

Jaguar was founded in San Francisco, California as a Delaware corporation on June 6, 2013. Napo formed Jaguar to develop and commercialize animal health products. Effective as of December 31, 2013, Jaguar was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Napo, and Jaguar was a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo until the close of the Company's initial public offering on May 18, 2015. On July 31, 2017, the merger of Jaguar Animal Health, Inc. and Napo became effective, at which point Jaguar Animal Health's name changed to Jaguar Health, Inc. and Napo began operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar focused on human health and the ongoing commercialization of, and development of follow-on indications for, Mytesi. Most of the activities of the Company are now focused on the commercialization of Mytesi and development of follow-on indications for crofelemer and a second-generation anti-secretory product, lechlemer. In the field of animal health, we have limited activities which are focused on developing and commercializing first-in-class gastrointestinal products for dogs, dairy calves, foals, and high value horses.

We believe Jaguar is poised to realize a number of synergistic, value adding benefits—an expanded pipeline of potential blockbuster human follow-on indications, a second-generation anti-secretory agent, as well as a pipeline of important animal indications for crofelemer —upon which to build global partnerships. As previously announced, Jaguar, through Napo, now holds extensive global rights for Mytesi, and crofelemer manufacturing is being conducted at a multimillion-dollar commercial manufacturing facility that has been FDA-inspected and approved. Additionally, several of the drug product candidates in Jaguar's Mytesi pipeline are backed by what we believe are strong Phase 2 and proof of concept evidence from completed human clinical trials.

Table of Contents

Mytesi is a novel, first-in-class anti-secretory agent which has a basic normalizing effect locally on the gut, and this mechanism of action has the potential to benefit multiple disorders. Mytesi is in development for multiple possible follow-on indications, including cancer therapy-related diarrhea; orphan-drug indications for infants and children with congenital diarrheal disorders and short bowel syndrome (SBS); supportive care for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); and for idiopathic/functional diarrhea. In addition, a second-generation anti-secretory agent, lechlemer, is in development for cholera. Mytesi previously received orphan-drug designation for SBS.

Financial Operations Overview

On a consolidated basis, we have not yet generated enough revenue to date to achieve break even or positive cash flows, and we expect to continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses. Our net loss was $12.0 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of
March 31, 2021, we had a total stockholders' equity of $31.9 million, an accumulated deficit of $178.9 million, and cash of $32.3 million. We expect to continue to incur losses and experience increased expenditures for the foreseeable future as we expand our product development activities, seek necessary approvals for our product candidates, conduct species-specific formulation studies for our non-prescription products, establish API manufacturing capabilities and begin additional commercialization activities.

Revenues

Our product and collaboration revenue consist of the following:

Revenues from the sale of our human drug Mytesi, which is sold through distributors and wholesalers.
Revenues from the sale of our animal products branded as Neonorm Calf and Neonorm Foal. Our Neonorm and botanical extract products are primarily sold to distributors, who then sell the products to the end customers.
Our policy typically permits returns if the product is damaged, defective, or otherwise cannot be used when received by the customer if the product has expired. Returns are accepted for product that will expire within six months or that have expired up to one year after their expiration dates. Estimates for expected returns of expired products are based primarily on an ongoing analysis of our historical return patterns.

See “Results of Operations” below for more detailed discussion on revenues.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of direct drug substance and drug product materials expense, direct labor, distribution fees, royalties and other related expenses associated with the sale of our products.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses consist primarily of clinical and contract manufacturing expense, personnel and related benefits expense, stock-based compensation expense, employee travel expense, and reforestation expenses. Clinical and contract manufacturing expense consists primarily of costs to conduct stability, safety and efficacy studies, and manufacturing startup at an outsourced API provider in Italy. It also includes expenses with a third-party provider for the transfer of the Mytesi manufacturing process, and the related feasibility and validation activities.

We typically use our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple development programs. We track outsourced development costs by prescription drug product candidate and non-prescription product and we track personnel or other internal costs related to development to specific programs or development compounds.

Table of Contents

The timing and amount of our research and development expenses will depend largely upon the outcomes of current and future trials for our prescription drug product candidates as well as the related regulatory requirements, the outcomes of current and future species-specific formulation studies for our non-prescription products, manufacturing costs and any costs associated with the advancement of our line extension programs. We cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of the current or future development activities.

The duration, costs and timing of trials, formulation studies and development of our prescription drug and non-prescription products will depend on a variety of factors, including:

the scope, rate of progress, and expense of our ongoing, as well as any additional clinical trials, formulation studies and other research and development activities;
future clinical trial and formulation study results;
potential changes in government regulations; and
the timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a prescription drug product candidate or non-prescription product could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with our development activities.

We expect research and development expense to increase due to the start-up costs associated with our clinical trials for other indications.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expenses consist of personnel and related benefits expense, stock-based compensation expense, direct sales and marketing expense, employee travel expense, and management consulting expense. We currently incur sales and marketing expenses to promote Mytesi. We do not currently have any marketing or promotional expenses related to Neonorm Calf or Neonorm Foal in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

We expect sales and marketing expense to increase going forward as we focus on expanding our market access activities and commercial partnerships for the development of follow-on indications of Mytesi and crofelemer.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel and related benefits expense, stock-based compensation expense, employee travel expense, legal and accounting fees, rent and facilities expense, and management consulting expense.

In the near term, we expect general and administrative expense to remain flat as we focus on our pipeline development and market access expansion. This will include efforts to grow the business.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of non-cash and cash interest costs related to our borrowings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that may be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and that have a material impact on financial condition or operating performance. While we base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements require significant judgments and estimates. For additional information relating to these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

We recognize revenue in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606 or when there is a transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

We do not adjust the amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the expected period between the transfer of promised goods or services and customer payment is one year or less.

We have elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs.

Additionally, we have elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.

Contracts – Cardinal Health

Effective January 16, 2019, the Company engaged Cardinal Health as its exclusive third party logistics distribution agent for commercial sales of the Company’s Mytesi product and to perform certain other services which include, without limitation, storage, distribution, returns, customer support, financial support, Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) and system access support (the “Exclusive Distribution Agreement”).

In addition to the terms and conditions of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, Cardinal Health’s purchase of products, and assumption of title therein, is set forth in the Title Model Addendum. The Title Model Addendum states that upon receipt of product at the 3PL Facility (Cardinal Health in La Vergne, Tennessee) from the Company, title and risk of loss for the Mytesi product purchased by Cardinal Health (excluding consigned inventory) shall pass to Cardinal Health, and title and risk of loss for consigned inventory shall remain with the Company until purchased by Cardinal Health in accordance with the Title Model Addendum. The Company considers Cardinal Health the Company’s exclusive customer for Mytesi products per the Exclusive Distribution Agreement.

The Company's Neonorm and botanical extract products are primarily sold to distributors, who then sell the products to the end customers. Since 2014, the Company has entered into several distribution agreements with established distributors such as Animart, Vedco, VPI, RJ Matthews, Henry Schein, and Stockmen Supply to distribute the Company's products in the United States, Japan, and China. The distribution agreements and the related purchase

orders together meet the contract existence criteria under ASC 606-10-25-1. The Company sells directly to its customers without the use of an agent.

Performance obligations

For animal products sold by the Company, the single performance obligation identified above is the Company’s promise to transfer the Company’s animal products to distributors based on specified payment and shipping terms in the arrangement. Product warranties are assurance-type warranties that do not represent a performance obligation. For the Company’s human product, Mytesi, the single performance obligation identified above is the Company’s promise to transfer Mytesi to Cardinal Health, the Company’s exclusive distributor for the product, based on specified payment and shipping terms as outlined in the Exclusive Distribution Agreement.

Transaction price

For contracts with Cardinal Health, for the Company, the transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The transaction price of Mytesi and Neonorm is the Wholesaler Acquisition Cost (“WAC”), net of estimated discounts, returns, and price adjustments.

Allocate transaction price

For contracts with Cardinal Health, for the Company, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation contained in each contract.

Revenue recognition

For contracts with Cardinal Health, for the Company, a single performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon the free on board (“FOB”) terms of each contract when control, including title and all risks, has transferred to the customer.

Disaggregation of Product Revenue

Human

Sales of Mytesi are recognized as revenue at a point in time when the products are delivered to the wholesaler. Net revenue from the sale of Mytesi were $729,000 and $835,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Animal

The Company recognized Neonorm revenues of $33,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenues are recognized at a point in time upon shipment, which is when title and control is transferred to the buyer. Sales of Neonorm Calf and Foal to distributors are made under agreements that may provide distributor price adjustments and rights of return under certain circumstances.

Contracts – Specialty Pharmacies

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company engaged a private company as its third-party logistics distribution agent for commercial sales of the Company’s Mytesi product. Under the Specialty Product Distribution Agreement, the Company shall supply the products to the private company’s specialty pharmacies, through a designated wholesaler, in such amounts as may be ordered. There is no minimum purchase or inventory requirement. The specialty pharmacies were authorized distributors of record for all National Drug Codes (“NDCs”) of Mytesi.

Disaggregation of Product Revenue

Sales of Mytesi are recognized as revenue at a point in time when products are delivered to the specialty pharmacies. Net revenue from the sale of Mytesi to the specialty pharmacies were $479,000 and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) are intangible assets initially recognized at fair value and classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. During the development period, these assets will not be amortized as charges to earnings; instead these assets will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified. In connection with each annual impairment assessment and any interim impairment assessment in which indicators of impairment have been identified, we compare the fair value of the asset as of the date of the assessment with the carrying value of the asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If impairment is indicated by this test, the intangible asset is written down by the amount by which the discounted cash flows expected from the intangible asset exceeds its carrying value. Fair value determinations require considerable judgement and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry and economic conditions. These assumptions and estimates include projected revenues and income growth rates, terminal growth rates, competitive and consumer trends, market-based discount rates, and other factors. If current expectations of growth rates are not met or market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, this may lead to a further impairment in the future. The Company recorded no impairment in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s fair value.

Modifications to Liability-classified Instruments

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company amended the terms of its Exchange Note 2 (see Note 7 of the condensed consolidated financial statements). In accounting for debt modifications and exchange transactions, it is the Company’s policy to first determine whether it qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring pursuant to the guidance provided in ASC 470-60. A debt modification or exchange transaction that is not within the scope of the ASC 470-60 is accounted for under ASC 470-50 to determine if the transaction is a mere modification or an extinguishment.

55


Table of Contents

The Company did not modify any liability-classified instrument for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Modifications to Equity-classified Instruments

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company modified certain equity-classified warrants (see Note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements). It is the Company’s policy to determine the impact of modifications to equity-classified warrants by analogy to the share-based compensation guidance of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The model for a modified share-based payment award that is classified as equity and remains classified in equity after the modification is addressed in ASC 718-20-35-3. Pursuant to that guidance, the incremental fair value from the modification is recognized as an expense in the statements of operations to the extent the modified instrument has a higher fair value; however, in certain circumstances, such as when an entire class of warrants are modified, the measured increase in fair value may be more appropriately recorded as a deemed dividend, depending upon the nature of the warrant modification.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company modified the terms of its Series B convertible preferred stock (see Note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements). For amendments to preferred stock, it is the Company’s policy to measure the impact by analogy to ASC 470-50 in determining if such an amendment is an extinguishment or a modification. If the amendment results in an extinguishment, the Company follows the SEC staff guidance in ASC 260-10-S99-2 and ASC 470-20. If the amendment results in a modification, the Company follows the model in either ASC 718 or ASC 470-50, depending on the nature of the amendment.

The Company did not modify any equity-classified instrument for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Fair Value Option

ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, provides fair value option (“FVO”) election that allows companies an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. ASC 825-10 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the FVO has been elected are reported in earnings. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis, must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 825-10 are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method. In accordance with the options presented in ASC 825-10, the Company elected to present the aggregate of fair value and non-fair-value amounts in the same line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and parenthetically disclose the amount measured at fair value in the aggregate amount

Our gross product revenues were $4.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These periods reflect revenue from the sale of our human drug Mytesi and our animal products branded as Neonorm Calf and Neonorm Foal.

Human

Sales of Mytesi are recognized as revenue when the products are delivered to the wholesalers and to specialty pharmacies. Our gross revenues from the sale of Mytesi were $4.6 million and $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in sales of Mytesi is due to the combined effect of the 230.0% increase in sales price and 6.3% increase in the number of bottles sold.

Sales discounts were $1.7 million and $261,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $1.5 million. Sales discounts include discounts for prompt payments from customers and an estimated allowance for chargebacks on sales. Of the total sales discounts, allowances for chargebacks were $1.0 million and $201,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These allowances for chargebacks were approximately 23% and 15% on Mytesi gross product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Medicaid rebates were $1.1 million and $68,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase in sales discounts and rebates is due to the WAC increase implemented by the Company in April 2020 which caused higher government rebates from Medicaid and public health services programs.

Animal

Our Neonorm product revenues were $33,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Focus on sales and marketing for Neonorm products had decreased during 2021.

Cost of product revenue decreased $93,000 from $676,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $583,000 for the same period in 2021. The decrease in cost of product revenue period over period was due to non-recurring write-off of non-conforming inventory in the three months ended March 31, 2020 amounting to $117,000, true-up adjustment of $54,000 in the finished goods reconciliation, and reversal of $29,000 accrued royalties, offset by the increase in salaries of $70,000 due to the increase in headcount in the commercial manufacturing department, data reporting costs of $20,000 for the Specialty Product Distribution Agreement, and $17,000 increase in state licensure service fees under the Cardinal Health 3PL services.

The change in R&D expense of $832,000 the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared the same period in 2020 was due primarily to:

Clinical and contract manufacturing expense increased $461,000 from $406,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $867,000 in the same period in 2021 primarily due to increased clinical trial activities related to the start-up of cancer therapy diarrhea and other indications.
Other expenses consisting primarily of consulting, formulation and regulatory fees increased $315,000 from $561,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $876,000 in the same period in 2021. Consulting expenses increased due to an increase in clinical trial consultants, which is consistent with the increased activity in development of multiple followon indications for Mytesi. Direct R&D testing costs also increased due to an increase in R&D work.

The change in S&M expense of $670,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was due primarily to:

Direct marketing fees and expense increased $534,000 from $378,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2020 to $912,000 in the same period in 2021 due to increased patient access programs and other Mytesi marketing initiatives.
Other expenses increased $108,000 from $240,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $348,000 in the same period in 2021 largely due to additional marketing consulting costs of $149,000, partially offset by reduced travel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The change in G&A expenses of $260,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was due primarily to:

Audit, tax and accounting services fees increased $522,000 from $58,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2020 to $580,000 in the same period in 2021, mostly due to the increased audit fees related to complex debt and equity transactions.
Other general and administrative expenses increased $159,000 from $788,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $947,000 in the same period in 2021 largely due to increase of D&O liability insurance.
Personnel and related benefits increased $141,000 from $461,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2020 to $602,000 in the same period in 2021, due to additional resources.
Legal services decreased $275,000 from $773,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $498,000 in the same period in 2021 primarily due to decrease in fees related to legal proceedings and other regulatory filings.
Rent and lease expense decreased $150,000 from $203,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $53,000 in the same period in 2021 as a result of the transfer to a lower cost facility.
Third-party consulting services fees decreased $94,000 from $296,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2020 to $202,000 in the same period in 2021, due to the switch to fulltime employees instead of consultants in the Finance department.
Stock-based compensation expense decreased $84,000 from $502,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2020 to $418,000 in the same period in 2021 due to the decrease in the volume of option grants.

Series 3 Warrants Inducement Expense

The increase in the Series 3 Warrants inducement expense from zero in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $1.5 million for the same period in 2021 is due to the issuance of 406,250 Series 3 Warrants to a certain investor on January 8, 2021 for the exercise of 406,250 Bridge Note Warrants on the same date in accordance with the May 2020 Modification of the 2019 Bridge Note Warrants and Inducement Offer.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Inducement Expense

On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Warrant Exercise and Preferred Stock Amendment Agreement with a holder of its Series 2 warrants previously issued in the Company’s registered public offering on July 23, 2019, pursuant to which the holder agreed to exercise in cash its warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, at a reduced exercise price of $0.5227 per share for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $653,000. As further inducement to enter into the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock from $2.00 to $0.4456. The modification of the conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred shares were qualitatively considered an extinguishment and the Company followed the guidance in ASC 260-10-S99-2 and recorded an expense of $1.6 million and derecognizing the Series B Convertible Preferred shares.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $1.7 million from $199,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $1.9 million for the same period in 2021 primarily due to interest expense incurred on royalty interest agreements and Exchange Note 2.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The increase in the loss on extinguishment of debt from zero in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $753,000 for the same period in 2021 is due to the $753,000 extinguishment loss from the exchange of the outstanding balance of Exchange Note 2 for shares of the Company’s common stock.

Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Hybrid Instrument Designated at FVO

Change in fair value of financial instrument and hybrid instrument designated at FVO increased $598,000 from a loss of $1,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to a loss of $599,000 for the same period in 2021 primarily due to losses incurred on the change in fair value of liability classified warrants and notes payable designated at FVO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We have incurred net losses since our inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had net losses of $12.0 million and $7.9 million, respectively. We expect to incur additional losses in the near-term future. At March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $178.9 million. To date, we have generated only limited revenue, and we may never achieve revenue sufficient to offset our expenses.

We had cash of $32.3 million as of March 31, 2021. We believe our current capital is sufficient to fund our operating plan through one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

61


Table of Contents

We have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of equity and debt financing, in addition to sales of our commercial products. Cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows:

During January 2021, an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of the December 2019 PIPE Financing Warrants for total proceeds of $975,000.
On January 13, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered public offering an aggregate of 4,437,870 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at an offering price of $3.38 per share for net proceeds of approximately $13.5 million.
On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”), pursuant to which the Company issued a secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $6.2 million for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.
During January and February 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,009,554 shares under the ATM Agreement for total net proceeds of $5.4 million.
On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company sold a royalty interest entitling Streeterville to $10.0 million and any interest, fees, and charges as royalty repayment amount for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million. Interest will accrue on the royalty repayment amount at a rate of 5% per annum, compounding quarterly, and will increase to 10% per annum, compounding quarterly on the 12-month anniversary of the closing date.
Between January to March 2021, an aggregate of 4,150,600 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of Series 1, Series 2 and Bridge Note Warrants for total proceeds of $2.0 million.

We expect our expenditures will continue to increase as we continue our efforts to develop our products and continue development of our pipeline in the near term. We may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. We may also not be successful in entering into partnerships that include payment of upfront licensing fees for our products and product candidates for markets outside the United States, where appropriate. If we do not generate upfront fees from any anticipated arrangements, including but not limited to the contemplated merger transaction between the Dragon SPAC and Napo EU and associated licensing arrangement that is currently under discussions, it would have a negative effect on our operating plan. We still plan to finance our operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financing as well as revenue from future product sales. However, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, if at all, or that we will generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund operating needs or ultimately achieve profitability. If we are unable to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of our products, we will need to curtail planned activities and reduce costs. Doing so will likely have an adverse effect on our ability to execute on our business plan.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021. This conclusion was based on the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as further described below.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to our financial statement close process and policies. We did not have adequate policies and procedures in place to ensure the timely, effective review of assumptions used in measuring the fair value of certain financial instruments. We did not have sufficient resources with appropriate knowledge, experience and/or training commensurate with our financial reporting requirements to assist us in our timely and efficient preparation and review over our financial reporting. This material weakness has not been remediated as of March 31, 2021.

In connection with preparation of our interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to our financial statement preparation and review process. The primary factors contributing to the material weaknesses were as follows:

We did not have adequate policies and procedures in place to ensure the timely and effective preparation and review of the financial statements.
We did not have sufficient resources with appropriate knowledge, experience and/or training commensurate with our financial reporting requirements to assist us in our timely and efficient preparation and review over our financial reporting.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses

To remediate the material weaknesses described above, management will add controls to further enhance and revise the design of the existing controls including:

Establishing policies and procedures to ensure timely review, by qualified personnel, of assumptions used in measuring fair value of certain financial instruments.
Reassessing the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting and review procedures over the preparation of our financial statements.

64


Table of Contents

Hiring permanent accounting personnel and used consultants to provide support during our quarterly and annual preparation, review, and reporting of our financial statements.
Maintaining adequate internal qualified personnel to properly supervise and review the information provided by the outside consulting technical experts to ensure certain significant complex transactions and technical matters were properly accounted for.

We cannot assure you that the planned measures in response to these material weaknesses will be sufficient to remediate such material weaknesses or to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in the design of our internal controls over financial reporting relating (i) to staff turnover in our accounting department, and (ii) to inadequate policies and procedures in place to ensure the timely and effective preparation and review of the financial statements.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We plan to enhance existing controls and design and implement new controls applicable to staff, to ensure that our staff is accurately trained to properly understand and review financial transactions. We plan to devote significant time and attention to remediate the above material weaknesses as soon as reasonably possible. As we continue to evaluate our controls, we will make the necessary changes to improve the overall design and operation of our controls. We believe these actions will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting; however, there can be no guarantee that such remediation will be sufficient. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

July 2017 Complaint Relating to the Merger

On July 20, 2017, a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, Civil Action No. 3:17-cv-04102, by Tony Plant (the “Plaintiff”) on behalf of shareholders of the Company who held shares on April 12, 2017 and were entitled to vote at the 2017 Special Shareholders Meeting, against the Company and certain individuals who were directors as of the date of the vote (collectively, the “Defendants”), in a matter captioned Tony Plant v. Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., et al. (Jaguar Health, Inc. was formerly known as Jaguar Animal Health, Inc.), making claims arising under Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9, 17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9, promulgated thereunder by the SEC. The claims alleged false and misleading information provided to investors in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 (File No. 333-217364) declared effective by the Commission on July 6, 2017 related to the solicitation of votes from shareholders to approve the merger and certain transactions related thereto. The Company accepted service of the complaint and summons on behalf of itself and the United States-based director Defendants on November 1, 2017. The Company has not accepted service on behalf of, and Plaintiff has not yet served, the non-U.S.-based director Defendants.

By order dated September 20, 2018, the court dismissed the lawsuit for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff was entitled to amend that complaint within 20 days from the date of dismissal. On October 10, 2018, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint to focus on the Company’s commercial strategy in support of Equilevia and the related disclosure statements in the Form S-4 described above. On November 6, 2018, the Defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. The court denied the Defendants’ motion to dismiss on June 28, 2019. The Company answered the second amended complaint on August 2, 2019; the answer denied the material allegations of the second amended complaint. Following the completion of document discovery, the parties engaged in a mediation that resulted in an agreement in principle to settle the litigation on a class-wide basis for $2.6 million, subject to court approval. Plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement on December 30, 2020. The court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement, and authorized Plaintiff to provide settlement class members with notice of the proposed settlement, in an order dated February 2, 2021. The final settlement approval hearing is currently scheduled for May 27, 2021. Assuming that the court gives final approval to the proposed settlement following the final settlement approval hearing, the entire settlement consideration will be provided by the Company’s director and officer liability insurance carrier.

May 2020 Letter from the Committee on Oversight and Reform of the U.S. House of Representatives

On May 4, 2020, Jaguar Health, Inc. received a letter from the Committee on Oversight and Reform of the U.S. House of Representatives (the “Committee”) regarding the list price adjustment of Mytesi. Among other things, the Committee expressed an interest in understanding whether the price adjustment was connected to the Company’s

expectation that it could market crofelemer to treat coronavirus patients given the Company’s submission of a request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) for crofelemer for the symptomatic relief of diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with COVID-19 and for patients with COVID-19 who have diarrhea associated with certain antiviral treatments, which submission was denied by the FDA on April 7, 2020 as previously disclosed.

The Company intends to cooperate with the Committee’s inquiry and has prepared a public statement regarding the price adjustment, which is available on the Company’s website at https://jaguarhealth.gcs-web.com/company-statement. In its statement, the Company explains that the decision to adjust the price for crofelemer was made in December 2019 as part of expanding the Company’s comprehensive patient access program, and had the Company received EUA, it would have deferred the price adjustment until after the emergency use period ended.

Other than as described above, there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risk and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occur, our business, operating results, financial condition, cash flows, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, and stock price.

Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Our obligations to Streeterville are secured by a security interest in all of Napo’s lechlemer assets, so if we default on those obligations, Streeterville could foreclose on our assets.

Our obligations under the secured promissory note issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”) are secured by a first priority security interest in all existing and future lechlemer technology held by Napo, including intellectual property, as provided in the Security Agreement, dated January 19, 2021 between Napo and Streeterville. As a result, if we default on our obligations under these agreements, Streeterville could foreclose on its security interests and liquidate some or all of these assets, which would harm our plans to develop and commercialize lechlemer, financial condition and results of operations and could require us to reduce or cease operations with respect to lechlemer.

Our royalty interests require us to make minimum royalty payments, even if we do not sell a sufficient amount of products to cover such payments, which may strain our cash resources.

Since March 2020, we have sold royalty interests to certain lenders that entitle such lenders to receive future royalties on sales of our products. These royalty interests require us to make minimum royalty payments beginning 2021, even if we do not sell a sufficient amount of product to cover such payments, which may strain our cash resources. The total minimum royalty payments will be $2.3 million in 2021, $6.7 million in 2022, $18.0 million in 2023, $14.0 million in 2024, $7.1 million in 2025, and $3.8 million in 2026.

The novel coronavirus global pandemic could adversely impact our business, including our supply chain, clinical trials and commercialization of Mytesi.

As a result of the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, we may experience disruptions that could severely impact our supply chain, ongoing and future clinical trials and commercialization of Mytesi. For example, COVID-19 has resulted in increased travel restrictions and the shutdown or delay of business activities in various regions, including certain activities of our contract manufacturers in India and in Italy. To the extent our suppliers and contract manufacturer are unable to comply with their obligations under our agreements with them or they are otherwise unable to deliver or are delayed in delivering raw materials, Mytesi API or finished products to us due to COVID-19, our ability to continue meeting commercial demand for Mytesi in the United States or advancing development of our product candidates may become impaired. Travel restrictions and shutdowns in business operations as a result of the outbreak may also limit our ability to pursue business development activities, including limiting onsite diligence of manufacturing facilities owned or operated by the Company and our contractors.

67


Table of Contents

Such travel restrictions and shutdowns in business operations may also adversely impact our commercialization of Mytesi, including limiting the ability of our marketing and sales force to engage with healthcare providers and patient groups, and could result in patients postponing visits to healthcare provider facilities, healthcare providers temporarily closing their offices or restricting patient visits, pharmacies being closed or suffering supply chain disruptions, healthcare provider and/or pharmacy employees being unavailable and general disruptions in the operations of payors, distributors, logistics providers and other third parties that are necessary for Mytesi to be prescribed and reimbursed.

COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19, and mutated variants of SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19, may impact our business, including our supply chain, clinical trials, commercialization of Mytesi and distribution channels, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the pandemic, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the pandemic.

Long-term remote work arrangements may adversely affect our business.

Many of our employees have been working remotely the past year and will continue to do so this period. An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cyber-security risks, impair the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and impact our ability to manage our business.

Failure in our information technology systems, including by cyber attacks or other data security incidents, could significantly disrupt our operations.

Our operations depend, in part, on the continued performance of our information technology systems. Our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, phishing attacks and other types of disruptions. We have and continue to experience cyber attacks of varying degrees. Our security measures may also be breached due to employee error, malfeasance, system errors or other vulnerabilities. Such breach or unauthorized access or attempts by outside parties to fraudulently induce employees or users to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to our data could result in significant legal and financial exposure, and damage to our reputation that could potentially have an adverse effect on our business. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, or sabotage systems change frequently, become more sophisticated, and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Additionally, cyber attacks could also compromise trade secrets and other sensitive information and result in such information being disclosed to others and becoming less valuable, which could negatively affect our business. Although we have information technology security systems, a successful cybersecurity attack or other data security incident could result in the misappropriation and/or loss of confidential or personal information, create system interruptions, deploy malicious software that attacks our systems, or result in financial losses. It is possible that a cybersecurity attack might not be noticed for some period of time. The occurrence of a cyber security attack or incident could result in business interruptions from the disruption of our information technology systems, or negative publicity resulting in reputational damage with our shareholders and other stakeholders and/or increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events. In addition, the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information could expose us or other third-parties to regulatory fines or penalties, litigation and potential liability, or otherwise harm our business.

OFFICE SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

THIS OFFICE SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (this “Sublease”) is made and entered into as of August 31, 2020 by and between Peacock Construction Inc., a California corporation (“Sublandlord”), and Jaguar Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Subtenant”). Sublandlord and Subtenant (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:

Recitals. This Sublease is made with reference to the fact that M&E, LLC, a California limited liability company, as “Landlord” (“Master Landlord”), and Sublandlord, as “Tenant,” are parties to that certain 200 Pine Street Office Lease dated as of June 7, 2011, as amended by that certain First Extension of Lease made on January 26, 2018 (collectively, the “Master Lease”), with respect to those certain premises consisting of approximately five thousand two hundred sixty-three (5,263) rentable square feet described therein (the “Master Premises”) located at 200 Pine Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, California. A copy of the Master Lease, with economic terms redacted, is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Master Lease.

Subleased Premises. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease, Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord, the entire Master Premises (hereinafter the “Subleased Premises”).

Term.

Term. The term (the “Term”) of this Sublease shall commence on the date the Master Landlord consents to this Sublease, as provided in Section 26 below (the “Commencement Date”), and shall end at 11:59 P.M. on May 31, 2021, unless this Sublease is sooner terminated pursuant to its terms or the Master Lease is sooner terminated pursuant to its terms (the “Expiration Date”). Promptly following the determination of the Commencement Date, the Parties shall acknowledge such date by reasonably and mutually agreeable written acknowledgment, provided, however, the determination of such Commencement Date shall not be conditioned upon such written acknowledgment.

Early Access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Subtenant has delivered to Sublandlord proof of insurance as provided in Section 17 below, Subtenant shall be permitted access to the Subleased Premises, without the obligation to pay Rent (defined below), beginning on the Commencement Date so that Subtenant may move in and prepare to open for business in the Subleased Premises.

No Option to Extend. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease or in the Master Lease, Subtenant shall not have any option to extend or renew the Term of this Sublease.

Rent. Commencing on October 1, 2020 (the “Rent Commencement Date”) and continuing each month throughout the Term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as rent (“Rent”)


for the Subleased Premises, in monthly installments, the sum of Fourteen Thousand Nine Hundred Eleven and 83/100 Dollars ($14,911.83) per month. Tenant shall pay Rent for the first month of the Term on or before the Rent Commencement Date. For each month of the Term thereafter, Tenant shall pay such Rent on or before the first (1st) day of each such month during the Term. Rent for any period during the Term which is for less than one (1) month of the Term shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment based on a thirty (30) day month. Rent shall be payable without notice or demand and without any deduction, offset, or abatement, in lawful money of the United States of America. Rent shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord at 3421 Golden Gate Avenue, Lafayette, California 94549, Attention: Kyle Peacock, or to such other address as may be designated in writing by Sublandlord. Subtenant shall be solely responsible for the timely payment to Master Landlord of the cost of any supplementary services (as provided in Section 10.2 of the Master Lease).

Security Deposit.

Upon execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord the sum of Fourteen Thousand Nine Hundred Eleven and 83/100 Dollars ($14,911.83) as security for Subtenant’s performance of its obligations under this Sublease, and not as a prepayment of rent (the “Security Deposit”). If Subtenant defaults under this Sublease, Sublandlord may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or other sum in default, the repair of any damage to the Subleased Premises caused by Subtenant or the payment of any other amount which Sublandlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s default or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage which Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s default to the full extent permitted by law. Subtenant hereby waives any restriction on the use or application of the Security Deposit by Sublandlord as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1950.7. To the extent any portion of the Security Deposit is used, Subtenant shall within five (5) business days after demand from Sublandlord restore the Security Deposit to its full amount. Sublandlord may keep the Security Deposit in its general funds and shall not be required to pay interest to Subtenant on the deposit amount.

If Subtenant shall perform all of its obligations under this Sublease and return the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord at the end of the Term in the condition required by this Sublease, Sublandlord shall return all of the remaining Security Deposit to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term. The Security Deposit shall not serve as an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Sublandlord’s damages for any default under this Sublease. Subtenant covenants and agrees that it shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and neither Sublandlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such agreement, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

Late Charge. If Subtenant fails to pay Sublandlord any amount due under this Sublease on or before the day such payment is due, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord upon demand a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the delinquent amount. Sublandlord shall waive such late charge one (1) time during the Term provided Subtenant is not more than five (5) days late in making such payment. The Parties agree that the foregoing late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the cost and expense which Sublandlord will incur in processing each delinquent payment. Sublandlord’s acceptance of any interest or late charge shall not waive Subtenant’s default in failing to pay the delinquent amount.

-2-


Holdover. Subtenant acknowledges it is critical Subtenant surrender the Subleased Premises on or before the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease in accordance with the terms of this Sublease. Accordingly, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against all losses, costs, claims, liabilities and damages resulting from Subtenant’s failure to surrender the Subleased Premises on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease in the condition required under the terms of this Sublease (including, without limitation, any liability or damages sustained by Sublandlord as a result of a holdover of the Master Premises by Sublandlord occasioned by the holdover of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant). In addition, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord holdover rent equal to Thirty-two Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety-three and 76/100 Dollars ($32,893.76) per month and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Taxes under the Master Lease for any period from the Expiration Date through the date Subtenant surrenders the Subleased Premises in the condition required hereunder.

“AS IS” Condition; Master Landlord’s Obligations. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Subtenant is subleasing the Subleased Premises on an “AS IS” basis, and that Sublandlord has made no representations or warranties, express or implied, whatsoever, with respect to the Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s intended use or any representation or warranty made by Master Landlord under the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to make or pay the cost of any alterations, improvements or repairs to the Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, any improvement or repair required to comply with any law, regulation, building code or ordinance (including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as may be amended). In addition, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform any repairs or any other obligation of Master Landlord required to be performed by Master Landlord under the terms of the Master Lease (including, without limitation, Master Landlord’s obligations under Sections 12, 19 and 20 of the Master Lease and Master Landlord’s obligation to comply with laws and carry building insurance). Sublandlord shall, however, request performance of the same in writing to Master Landlord promptly after being requested to do so by Subtenant, and shall use Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts (not including the payment of monies, the incurring of any liabilities, or the institution of legal proceedings) to obtain Master Landlord’s performance. Subtenant hereby expressly waives the provisions of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code of California and all rights to make repairs at the expense of Sublandlord as provided in Section 1942 of said Civil Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord represents that pursuant to Section 13 of the Master Lease all Alterations to the Subleased Premises have been made with Master Landlord’s consent and do not require removal nor restoration of the Subleased Premises to the same condition as on the Commencement Date upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Master Lease. Further, Subtenant shall not be required to perform any restoration work to the Subleased Premises, including without limitation decommissioning of IT and cabling (to the extent not installed by Subtenant), except as to such minor repairs, other than ordinary wear and tear, caused by Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises, and, to the extent Subtenant does anything in the Leased Premises that, in the reasonable opinion of Sublandlord or in the opinion of Master Landlord, constitutes an Alteration under the Master Lease, Subtenant shall be responsible for the performance of any resulting restoration required in compliance with applicable provisions of the Master Lease, at Subtenant’s sole expense.

-3-


Right to Cure Defaults. If Subtenant fails to pay any sum of money to Sublandlord, or fails to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, then Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or perform such act. All such sums paid, and all reasonable costs and expenses of performing any such act, shall be deemed Rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon demand, together with interest thereon at the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate allowable under law (the “Interest Rate”) from the date of the expenditure until repaid.

Indemnity. Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, protect and hold harmless Sublandlord and Master Landlord, and their respective agents, employees, directors, shareholders, contractors and representatives from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, judgments, causes of action, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees), caused by or arising in connection with: (a) the use, occupancy, operation or condition of the Subleased Premises; (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees; and (c) a breach of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease or the provisions of the Master Lease. Subtenant’s covenants under this Section 10 shall survive termination of this Sublease.

Assignment and Sub-Subletting. Subtenant may not assign any interest in this Sublease (by operation of law or otherwise), sub-sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, transfer any interest of Subtenant therein or permit any use of the Subleased Premises by another party (collectively, “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and of Master Landlord, to the extent required under Section 16 of the Master Lease. As a condition of obtaining such consent, Subtenant must comply with all of the requirements for such consent, as provided under Section 16 of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for all costs and fees Sublandlord incurs under the Master Lease in requesting such consent, as assessed by Master Landlord thereunder. Sublandlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, Sublandlord’s withholding of consent shall in all events be deemed reasonable if for any reason Master Landlord’s consent is not obtained. A consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer. Any Transfer without such consent shall be void and, at the option of Sublandlord, shall be a material default under this Sublease. Sublandlord’s waiver or consent to any assignment or sub-subletting shall be ineffective unless set forth in writing, and Subtenant shall not be relieved from any of its obligations under this Sublease. If Sublandlord and Master Landlord consent to a Transfer proposed by Subtenant, Subtenant may enter into such Transfer, and if Subtenant does so, the following shall apply:

If Subtenant assigns its interest in this Sublease, then Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all profit resulting from such assignment that Sublandlord would be obligated to pay to Master Landlord under Section 16.4(h) of the Master Lease. The amount of such profit so owed shall be paid to Sublandlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such profit is paid to Subtenant by the assignee.

If Subtenant sub-sublets all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, then with respect to the space so sub-subleased, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all profit resulting from such sub-subletting

-4-


that Sublandlord would be obligated to pay to Master Landlord under Section 16.4(h) of the Master Lease. The amount of such profit so owed shall be paid to Sublandlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such profit is paid to Subtenant by the sub-subtenant.

As used in this Paragraph 11 of this Sublease, the term “profit” shall mean any consideration of any kind received, or to be received, by Subtenant as a result of the Transfer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, as a result of Subtenant’s request for consent to a Transfer, Master Landlord elects to exercise its option to terminate the Master Lease or to recapture any portion of the Subleased Premises, as provided in Section 16.2 of the Master Lease, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees this Sublease shall be terminated as well.

Use.

Subtenant may use the Subleased Premises for general office purposes and for no other purpose whatsoever without Sublandlord’s prior written consent, as determined in Sublandlord’s sole and subjective discretion.

Subtenant shall not use, store, keep, handle, manufacture, transport, release, discharge, emit or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under, about, to or from the Subleased Premises or the building in which the Subleased Premises are located (the “Building”) during the Term of this Sublease by Subtenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. As used herein, “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any material or substance that is now or hereafter designated by any governmental authority to be radioactive, toxic, hazardous or otherwise a danger to health, reproduction or the environment.

Subtenant shall comply with all rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by Master Landlord in accordance with the Master Lease with regard to the use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises or any portion of the Building.

Effect of Conveyance. As used in this Sublease, the term “Sublandlord” means the holder of the Tenant’s interest under the Master Lease. In the event of any assignment or transfer of the Tenant’s interest under the Master Lease, which assignment or transfer may occur at any time during the Term hereof in Sublandlord’s sole discretion, Sublandlord shall be and hereby is entirely relieved of all covenants and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the Parties, that any transferee has assumed and shall carry out all covenants and obligations thereafter to be performed by Sublandlord hereunder. Sublandlord shall transfer and deliver any security deposit of Subtenant to the transferee of the Tenant’s interest under the Master Lease, and thereupon Sublandlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect thereto.

Delivery and Acceptance. Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises in its “AS IS” condition. This Sublease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Sublandlord be liable to Subtenant for any loss or damage, by reason of delays in the Commencement Date or delays in Sublandlord delivering the Subleased Premises to Subtenant for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that if delivery of the Subleased Premises occurs after the Rent Commencement Date, Rent shall abate until Sublandlord delivers possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant. Subtenant has fully inspected the Subleased Premises and is satisfied with the condition thereof By taking

-5-


possession of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant conclusively shall be deemed to have accepted the Subleased Premises in its then-existing, “AS IS” condition, without any representation or warranty whatsoever from Sublandlord with respect thereto.

Improvements. Subtenant shall not make any alterations or improvements to the Subleased Premises without the prior written consent of both Master Landlord (pursuant to Section 13 of the Master Lease) and Sublandlord. Sublandlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, Sublandlord’s withholding of consent shall in all events be deemed reasonable if for any reason Master Landlord’s consent is not obtained.

Release and Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, the Parties release each other and their respective agents, employees, successors and assigns from all liability for damage to any property that is actually covered by property insurance in force or which would normally be covered by full replacement value “Special Form” property insurance, without regard to the negligence or willful misconduct of the entity so released. Each Party shall cause each insurance policy it obtains to include a waiver of subrogation regarding the liabilities released hereby. Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant, nor shall Subtenant be entitled to terminate this Sublease or to abate Rent for any reason, including, without limitation, (a) failure or interruption of any utility system or service or (b) failure of Master Landlord to maintain the Subleased Premises as may be required under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 24(a)(ii) below, if Sublandlord abates any Base Rent owing under the Master Lease during the Term of this Sublease for any reason, including, without limitation, (x) failure or interruption of any utility system or service or (y) failure of Master Landlord to maintain the Subleased Premises as may be required under the Master Lease, on the express condition that Master Landlord does not object to or in any way contest such abatement, Subtenant shall be entitled to abate the Rent owing by Subtenant under this Sublease for the period of such abatement by Sublandlord under the Master Lease. Sublandlord will notify Subtenant of any such abatement within ten (10) business days thereof.

Insurance. Subtenant shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, during the Term, the insurance required to be carried by the “Tenant” under the Master Lease, as provided in Section 22 therein. Subtenant shall include Sublandlord and Master Landlord as an additional insured in any policy of insurance carried by Subtenant in connection with this Sublease and shall provide Sublandlord with certificates of insurance prior to taking occupancy of the Subleased Premises and upon Sublandlord’s written request.

Default. Subtenant shall be in material default of its obligations under this Sublease if any of the following events occur:

Subtenant fails to pay any Rent within five (5) days after the due date therefor; or

Subtenant fails to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Sublease (except those requiring payment of Rent) and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a written notice from Sublandlord specifying the nature of the breach; or

the bankruptcy or insolvency of Subtenant, transfer by Subtenant in fraud of creditors, an assignment by Subtenant for the benefit of creditors, or the commencement of any proceedings of

-6-


any kind by or against Subtenant under any provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Act or under any other insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization act unless, in the event any such proceedings are involuntary, Subtenant is discharged from the same within thirty (30) days thereafter;

the appointment of a receiver for a substantial part of the assets of Subtenant, which receiver is not discharged within thirty (30) days;

the levy upon this Sublease or any estate of Subtenant hereunder by any attachment or execution and the failure within thirty (30) days thereafter to have such attachment or execution vacated or such other action taken with respect thereto so as to put Sublandlord at no risk of having an unconsented transfer of this Sublease;

Subtenant abandons the Subleased Premises; or

Subtenant commits any other act or omission which could constitute a default under the Master Lease.

Remedies. In the event of any default by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall have all remedies provided to the “Landlord” under Section 26.2 of the Master Lease as if a “default” had occurred thereunder and all other rights and remedies otherwise available at law and in equity. Sublandlord may resort to its remedies cumulatively or in the alternative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sublandlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Sublandlord may continue the Sublease in effect after Subtenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Subtenant has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

Surrender. On or before the Expiration Date or any sooner termination of this Sublease, subject to Section 8 hereof, Subtenant shall remove all of its trade fixtures, personal property and all alterations constructed by Subtenant after the Commencement Date in the Subleased Premises which are required to be removed under the terms the Master Lease and shall surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord in good condition, order and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty or condemnation excepted. Subtenant shall repair any damage to the Subleased Premises caused by Subtenant’s removal of its personal property, furnishings and equipment. If the Subleased Premises are not so surrendered, then Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for all costs incurred by Sublandlord in returning the Subleased Premises to the required condition, plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate.

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment. Subtenant shall purchase from Sublandlord all of Sublandlord’s furniture, fixtures and equipment (collectively, “Sublandlord’s FF&E”) located in the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date, for the purchase price of Ten Dollars ($10.00), to be paid with Subtenant’s execution and delivery of this Sublease to Sublandlord, in addition to all other payments Subtenant is obligated to make under this Sublease at such time. Sublandlord hereby represents and warrants to Subtenant that Sublandlord owns all of Sublandlord’s FF&E, free and clear of any liens or other interests of any other third parties. Subtenant shall accept all of Sublandlord’s FF&E upon the Commencement Date in substantially the same “as-is” “where-is” condition as exists on the date of Subtenant’s execution and delivery of this Sublease.

-7-


Brokers. Sublandlord and Subtenant each represent to the other that they have dealt with no real estate brokers, finders, agents or salesmen in connection with this transaction other than TRI Commercial, representing Sublandlord, and Recreate, representing Subtenant. Subtenant agrees to indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all claims for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or other compensation made by any other agent, broker, salesman or finder as a consequence of Subtenant’s actions or dealings with such other agent, broker, salesman, or finder.

Notices. Unless at least five (5) days’ prior written notice is given in the manner set forth in this Section, the address of each Party for all purposes connected with this Sublease shall be that address set forth below their signatures at the end of this Sublease. All notices, demands or communications in connection with this Sublease shall be properly addressed and delivered as follows: (a) personally delivered; or (b) submitted to an overnight courier service, charges prepaid; or (c) deposited in the mail (certified, return-receipt requested, and postage prepaid). Notices shall be deemed delivered upon receipt, if personally delivered, one (1) business day after being so submitted to an overnight courier service and two (2) business days after deposit in the United States mail, if mailed as set forth above. All notices given to Master Landlord under the Master Lease shall be considered received only when delivered in accordance with the Master Lease.

Other Sublease Terms.

Incorporation by Reference. Except as set forth below and except as otherwise provided in this Sublease, the terms and conditions of this Sublease shall include all of the terms of the Master Lease and such terms are incorporated into this Sublease as if fully set forth herein, except that: (i) each reference in such incorporated sections to “Lease” shall be deemed a reference to this “Sublease”; (ii) each reference to the “Premises” shall be deemed a reference to the “Subleased Premises”; (iii) each reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference to “Sublandlord” and each reference to “Tenant” shall be deemed a reference to “Subtenant”, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein; (iv) with respect to work, services, utilities, electricity, repairs (or damage caused by Master Landlord), restoration, insurance, indemnities, reimbursements, representations, warranties or the performance of any other obligation of “Landlord” under the Master Lease, whether or not incorporated herein, the sole obligation of Sublandlord shall be to request the same in writing from Master Landlord as and when requested to do so by Subtenant, and to use Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts (not including the payment of money, the incurring of any liabilities, or the institution of legal proceedings) to obtain Master Landlord’s performance; (v) with respect to any obligation of Subtenant to be performed under this Sublease, wherever the Master Lease grants to “Tenant” a specified number of days to perform its obligations under the Master Lease (including, without limitation, curing any defaults), except as otherwise provided herein, Subtenant shall have three (3) fewer days to perform the obligation or one-half the time period permitted under the Master Lease, which ever allows Sublandlord the greater amount of time; (vi) with respect to any approval required to be obtained from the “Landlord” under the Master Lease, such approval must be obtained from both Master Landlord and Sublandlord, and Sublandlord’s withholding of approval shall in all events be deemed reasonable if for any reason Master Landlord’s approval is not obtained; (vii) in any case where the “Landlord” reserves or is granted the right to manage, supervise, control, repair, alter, regulate the use of, enter or use the Premises or any areas beneath, above or adjacent thereto, such reservation or grant of right of entry shall be deemed to be for the benefit of both Master Landlord and Sublandlord; (viii) in any case where “Tenant” is to indemnify, release or waive claims against “Landlord”, such indemnity,

-8-


release or waiver shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Master Landlord and Sublandlord; (ix) in any case where “Tenant” is to execute and deliver certain documents or notices to “Landlord”, such obligation shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Master Landlord and Sublandlord; and (x) the following modifications shall be made to the Master Lease as incorporated herein:

Subtenant will not have a right to abate rent through incorporation of the provisions of the Master Lease in the event of a casualty or condemnation where Sublandlord is not entitled to abate rent under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises.

Assumption of Obligations. This Sublease is and at all times shall be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and the rights of Master Landlord thereunder. Subtenant hereby expressly assumes and agrees: (i) to comply with all provisions of the Master Lease; and (ii) to perform all the obligations on the part of the “Tenant” to be performed under the terms of the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises during the term of this Sublease. In the event the Master Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously with such termination without any liability of Sublandlord to Subtenant. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Sublease and the Master Lease, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the provisions of this Sublease shall control.

Right to Contest.

5.3.  Payment.  Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Building Operating Costs shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as follows:

a)      Beginning with the calendar year following the Base Year and for each calendar year thereafter (each, a “Comparison Year”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Building Operating Costs paid or incurred by Landlord in the Comparison Year exceeds the Building Operating Costs paid or incurred by Landlord for the Base Year.  This excess is referred to as the “Excess Operating Costs.” The Building Operating Costs for both the Base Year and each Comparison Year in which less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building has been occupied for the entire Computation Year shall be determined by adjusting the actual Building Operating Costs to equal Landlord’s reasonable estimate of what the Building Operating Costs would have been if ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building had been fully occupied for such entire Comparison Year.

b)      To provide for current payments of Excess Operating Costs, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, pay as additional rent during each Comparison Year an amount

-17-


equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Excess Operating Costs payable during such Comparison Year, as estimated by Landlord from time to time.  During December of the Base Year and December of each subsequent calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount which Landlord reasonably estimates to be the monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs for any Comparison Year.  Tenant shall make such monthly installments commencing on the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year.  If such notice is not given in December Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given.

c)      On or before April 1 of each Comparison Year after the first Comparison Year (or as soon thereafter as is practicable), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement setting forth the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs for the preceding Comparison Year.  If the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs for the preceding Comparison Year exceeds the total of the estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such year, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the statement.  If the total of the estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such year exceeds the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Expenses for such Comparison Year, then Landlord shall credit against Tenant’s next ensuing monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs an amount equal to the difference until the credit is exhausted.  If a credit is due from Landlord on the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit.  In no event shall Landlord’s failure to provide Tenant with a timely statement of the amount due relieve Tenant of Tenant’s responsibility to reimburse Landlord for Operating Costs.  The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Section 5 shall survive the Expiration Date.

d)      Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs in any Comparison Year having less than 365 days shall be appropriately prorated.

e)      Landlord shall, upon Tenant’s reasonable request, within the first three (3) months of each calendar year, or within 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s actual reconciliation statements, whichever comes first, make available to Tenant or any Accountants (hereinafter defined) at the office of Landlord, Landlord’s books and records as shall be necessary for Tenant to verify, at Tenant’s cost and expense, actual Operating Expenses and actual Property Taxes for (i) any of the then most recent three (3) calendar years of the Term or (ii) once during the Term, the Base Expense Year and the Base Tax Year; provided that, if any Audit (hereinafter defined) shows that the aggregate amount of Operating Expenses or Property Taxes paid by Tenant in the applicable period was overstated by Landlord pursuant to the reports described above by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such Audit.  Tenant may retain an independent, certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord (the “Accountants”) on an

-18-


hourly rate basis, to inspect such books and records of Landlord (an “Audit”).  Tenant shall (and it shall cause its employees, agents and consultants and the Accountants to) keep the results of any such Audit strictly confidential.  If such Audit shows that the amount of Operating Expenses and Property Taxes paid by Tenant to Landlord exceeds the amount to which Landlord is entitled hereunder, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s option, either credit the amount of such excess toward the next monthly installment(s) of Basic Rental due hereunder or pay Tenant the net overpayment within thirty (30) days.  If such Audit shows that the amount paid by Tenant to Landlord was less than the amount owing, Tenant shall pay such shortfall within thirty (30) days after demand therefor by Landlord.

6.   REAL PROPERTY TAXES.

6.1.  Tenant’s Obligation.  During each calendar year during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent and in addition to the Base Rent and all other payments due under this Lease, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Real Property Taxes in the manner provided below.

6.2.  Definition.  The term “Real Property Taxes” means all taxes, assessments, water and sewer charges and other similar governmental charges (including costs and expenses of contesting the amount or validity thereof by appropriate administrative or legal proceedings) levied on or attributable to the Building or its operation, including, without limitation, all real property taxes and general and special assessments; charges, fees, levies and assessments for transit, housing, police, fire or other governmental services or purported benefits to the Building; service payments in lieu of taxes; environmental surcharges; excise taxes; gross receipts taxes; gross income taxes; rent taxes; sales and/or use taxes; employee taxes; water and sewer taxes and charges; any tax, fee or excise on the act of entering into this Lease, on the use or occupancy of the Building or any part thereof, or upon or measured by the rent payable under any lease or in connection with the business of renting space in the Building; and all other governmental impositions of any kind or nature whatsoever, regardless of whether or not customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto and regardless of whether resulting from increased rate and/or valuation, or whether extraordinary or ordinary, general or special, foreseen or unforeseen, or similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, which may now or hereafter be levied or assessed against Landlord by the United States of America, the State of California, the City and County of San Francisco or any political subdivision, public corporation, district or other political or public entity, and any other tax, fee or other excise, however described, levied or assessed as a substitute for, or as an addition to (in whole or in part), any other such taxes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Real Property Taxes” shall not include any net income, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes.  Landlord represents that the Building does not have a 2011 Prop 8 Real Property Tax reduction.

6.3.  Payment.  Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Real Property Taxes shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as follows:

-19-


a)      Beginning with the year following the Base Year and for each calendar year thereafter (each, a “Comparison Year”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Real Property Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord in the Comparison Year exceeds the Real Property Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord for the Base Year.  This excess is referred to as the “Excess Taxes.”

b)      To provide for current payments of Excess Taxes, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, pay as additional rent during each Comparison Year an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Excess Taxes payable during such Comparison Year, as estimated by Landlord from time to time.  During December of the Base Year and December of each subsequent calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount which Landlord reasonably estimates to be the monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Taxes for any Comparison Year.  Tenant shall make such monthly installments commencing on the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year.  If such notice is not given in December Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given.

c)      On or before April 1 of each Comparison Year (or as soon thereafter as is practicable), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement setting forth the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Taxes for the preceding Comparison Year.  In no event shall Landlord’s failure to provide Tenant with a timely statement of the amount due relieve Tenant of Tenant’s responsibility to reimburse Landlord for Taxes due.  If the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Taxes for the preceding Comparison Year exceeds the total of the estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such year, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the deficiency with ten (10) days of the receipt of the statement.  If the total of the estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such year exceeds the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Taxes for such Comparison Year, then Landlord shall credit against Tenant’s next ensuing monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Taxes an amount equal to the difference until the credit is exhausted.  If a credit is due from Landlord on the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit.  The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Section 6 shall survive the Expiration Date.

d)      Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Taxes in any Comparison year having less than 365 days shall be appropriately prorated.

6.4.  Taxes Payable by Tenant.  In addition to the Rent and any other amounts to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes, levies, assessments, surcharges, fees and other charges payable by Landlord which are not otherwise reimbursable under this Lease, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties, where such taxes, levies, assessments, surcharges, fees and other charges are upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in

-20-


the Premises, or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, regardless of whether title to such improvements is held by Tenant or Landlord; (b) the gross or net Rent payable under this Lease, including, without limitation, any rental or gross receipts tax levied by any taxing authority with respect to the receipt of the Rent hereunder such as the San Francisco Business Tax or any similar tax; (c) the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.  If it shall be unlawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any additional taxes as required under this Lease, the Base Rent shall be revised to net Landlord the same net Rent after imposition of any tax or other charge upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord but for the reimbursement being unlawful.

7.   LATE CHARGES AND INTEREST.

Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Base Rent or other amount which Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease will cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, including, without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult to ascertain.  Therefore, if any such installment or other amount is not received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such installment or other amount.  Landlord shall waive such late charge one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period provided Tenant is not more than five (5) days late.  Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered from such late payment by Tenant.  In addition, if Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other amount which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date on which such payment was due until the date on which Landlord receives such payment.  Acceptance of any late charge and/or interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such late payment by Tenant or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease.

8.   SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord as the Security Deposit the amount set forth in Article 1 above as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease.  Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with funds of Landlord, and Landlord shall have no obligation or liability to pay interest on the Security Deposit.  Tenant shall not pledge, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit and any attempt by Tenant to do so shall be void, without force or effect, and shall not be binding upon Landlord.

If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other amount when due and payable under this Lease, or fails to perform any of the other terms hereof, Landlord may apply or use all or any portion

-21-

16.5.          Continuing Liability.  Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no sublease or assignment shall release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or alter, impair or diminish the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provisions hereof.  Consent to one assignment or sublease shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease.  In the event of a default by an assignee or subtenant of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor.  Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of the Lease or subleases or amendments or modifications of the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant or any

-33-


successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto, and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.  If Tenant assigns the Lease or subleases the Premises or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment or sublease, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord an administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) plus any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such act or request.

17. HOLDING OVER.

If after expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant remains in possession of the Premises with Landlord’s express permission.  Tenant shall become a tenant from month-to-month only, upon all the provisions of this Lease (except as to term and Base Rent), including the obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs and Tenant’ Proportionate Share of Excess Taxes, but the Rent payable by Tenant shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Rent payable by Tenant at the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.  Such monthly Rent shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of each month.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from Tenant’s failure to surrender possession, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant.

18. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.

At the expiration of the Term or upon earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably surrender possession the Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition and in as good condition as when Tenant took possession, except for reasonable wear and tear.  Tenant shall have the right to remove from the Premises any of Tenant’s machinery, equipment, trade fixtures or furnishings which may be removed without causing damage to the Premises, and Tenant shall remove any Alterations and any other alterations, additions, improvements, machinery, equipment, trade fixtures or furnishings-which Landlord shall direct to be removed in accordance with the provisions of this Lase.  Tenant shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by any such removal.  Any personal property of Tenant not removed from the Premises shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and, at Landlord’s option, shall thereupon become the property of Landlord.  If Landlord elects to remove all or any part of Tenant’s personal property, the cost of removal, including the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal, and the cost of any storage shall be paid by Tenant.  At the expiration of the Term or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises to the Landlord.  No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term.  Only a written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of the Lease.

19. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE.

19.1.          Insured Casualty.  If the Premises or the portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy are damaged by fire, earthquake, act of God, the elements or other casualty, and Landlord shall have received insurance proceeds sufficient to fully repair and restore the Premises and Building, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of this Article, promptly repair the damage, if such repairs can, in Landlord’s opinion, be completed within ninety (90) days after commencement of work.  If Landlord determines that repairs can be completed within ninety (90) days after commencement of work, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, the Base Rent shall be abated to the extent Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of damage and continuing until completion of the repairs, but only to the extent of the rental loss insurance proceeds received by Landlord by reason of such damage.  If, in Landlord’s opinion, such repairs to the Premises or portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy cannot be completed within ninety (90) days after commencement of work, Landlord may elect, upon notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of damage, to (a) repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the Base Rent shall be abated as provided above, or (b) terminate this Lease.

19.2.          Uninsured Casualty.  If the Premises or the portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy are damage by ‘fire, earthquake; act of God, the elements or other casualty, and Landlord shall not have received insurance proceeds sufficient to fully repair and restore the Premises and Building, Landlord shall have the right to (a) repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible at Landlord’s expense (unless the damage or destruction was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, in which event Tenant shall pay all costs of repair), in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (b) terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the event of damage of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease as of the date of the event of damage, and if the damage was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Tenant shall be liable therefore to Landlord.

19.3.          Building.  If any other portion of the Building is damaged, Landlord may elect, upon notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage (but shall not be obligated), to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  If Landlord shall not elect to make such repairs, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

19.4.          Liability for Tenant’s Property.  In no event shall Landlord have any liability for, and in no event shall Landlord be required to repair or restore, any damage to or destruction of any Alterations or any machinery, equipment, trade fixtures, furniture or other property installed by or at the expense of Tenant or otherwise located in the

Premises.  If Landlord shall not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article, Tenant shall promptly repair or restore all such property to the condition existing immediately prior to the event of damage.  Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of business, inconvenience or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises or Building as a result of any damage from fire or other casualty.

19.5.          Waiver of Remedies.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligations of the parties in the event of the damage or destruction of the Premises shall be as set forth in this Article.  Tenant hereby expressly waives any rights to terminate this Lease upon damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building, except as expressly provided by this Lease, including, without limitation, any rights pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, as amended, or any other similar provisions of law.

20. EMINENT DOMAIN.

20.1.          Taking.  If the entire Building or Premises is taken by condemnation or in any other lawful manner for any public or quasi-public purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking, and Rent shall be prorated to such date.  If less than the entire Building or Premises is so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, provided that (a) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after the date of such taking if twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises is taken and the remaining area of the Premises is not reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue operation of its business, and (b) Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such taking.  If either Landlord or Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days after such notice.  The Rent shall be prorated to the date of termination.  If this Lease shall not be terminated upon such partial taking, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be equitably adjusted according to the remaining Rentable Area of the Premises and Building.

20.2.          Temporary Taking.  If the Premises shall be temporarily condemned or taken for governmental occupancy for a period of more than one year, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent and awards in connection therewith.  If the Premises shall be temporarily taken for a period of one year or less, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, but any condemnation award as a result of such taking shall be payable to Tenant.

20.3.          Condemnation Award.  In the event of any taking, all of the proceeds of any award, judgment or settlement payable by the condemning authority shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any award, judgment or settlement from the condemning authority.  Tenant, however, shall have the right, to the extent that Landlord’s award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and damage to Tenant’s personal property.  In no event shall Tenant be entitled to

-36-


receive any award for any “bonus value” of this Lease or otherwise attributable to the value of Tenant’s interest under this Lease or in or to the Premises.  Each party hereby waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1265.120 and 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

20.4.          Restoration.  In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its condition prior to the condemnation or taking, but only to the extent of the portion of the condemnation award expressly made to Landlord for the purpose of making such restoration to the Premises.  Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of any Alterations or any of Tenant’s machinery, equipment, trade fixtures, furniture or other personal property of Tenant.

21. INDEMNIFICATION; WAIVER.

21.2.          Waiver.  Neither Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors shall be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord and such other parties with respect to, any injury or damage which may be sustained by the person or property of Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees or customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, caused by or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, without limitation, fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises; the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air-conditioning or lighting fixtures; the interruption of any public utility or service; acts of the God or the elements, acts of public enemy, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order or order of governmental authority; or explosion, fire or theft, in any case, whether such damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building or from other sources.  Neither Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors shall be liable for any damages arising from any act or omission of any other tenant or occupant of the Building.  In no event shall Landlord be liable or responsible in any way for any

22.2.          Property Insurance.  Throughout the Term, Tenant shall procure, pay for and maintain in effect a policy of “all risk” property insurance, with theft, vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, covering any Alterations and Tenant’s machinery, equipment, trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property from time to time in, on or about the Premises, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their actual replacement cost from time to time.  The proceeds of such insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property so insured.  If this Lease shall terminate following a casualty as set forth herein, the proceeds of such insurance allocable to Alterations shall be paid to Landlord, and the proceeds of such insurance allocable to the other property set forth above shall be paid to Tenant.

22.3.          Additional Insurance.  Throughout the Term, Tenant shall procure, pay for and maintain an effect such additional insurance with such forms of coverage and in such amounts as Landlord shall reasonably require, including, without limitation, workers’ compensation insurance and employers’ liability insurance as required by law.

22.4.          Requirements.  All insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall be issued by responsible insurance companies acceptable to Landlord and Landlord’s lender and qualified to do business in the State of California.  Each policy shall name Landlord, Landlord’s agents and, at Landlord’s request, any mortgagee of Landlord as an additional insureds, as their respective interests may appear.  Each policy shall contain (a) a cross-liability endorsement, (b) a provision that such policy and the coverage evidenced thereby shall be primary and noncontributing with respect to any policies carried by Landlord and that any coverage carried by Landlord shall be excess insurance, and (c) a waiver by the insurer of any right of subrogation against Landlord to the extent required under Section 22.6 below.  A copy of each paid up policy (authenticated by the insurer) or certificate of the insurer evidencing the existence and amount of each insurance policy required hereunder shall be delivered to Landlord before the date Tenant is first given the right of possession of the Premises, and thereafter within thirty (30) days after any demand by Landlord therefore.  Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder.  No such policy shall be cancelable except after thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord and Landlord’s lender.  Tenant shall furnish Landlord with renewals or “binders” of any such policy at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration thereof.  Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance,

-38-


Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure such insurance on Tenant’s behalf and charge Tenant for the premiums together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, payable upon demand.  Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by the Tenant, provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises, Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagee and Tenant as required by this Lease.

22.5.          Adjustments.  Landlord shall have the right, periodically during the Term, but not more frequently than once each twelve (12) months, to require that Tenant increase the coverage amounts for the insurance that Tenant is obligated to carry under this Lease to amounts to equal to the then-prevailing coverage amounts required by prudent landlords of comparable office buildings in San Francisco, California, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment.

22.6.          Waiver of Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all rights of recovery against the other party, on account of loss by or damage to the waiving party or its property or the property of others under its control, to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any property insurance policy which either may have in force at the time of the loss or damage.  To the extent that such insurance endorsement is available at no or nominal additional premium charge and does not adversely affect the ability of such party to obtain such insurance, Landlord and Tenant each agree to obtain for the benefit of the other party in the insurance policies carried by the first party a waiver or any right of subrogation which any insurer of the party may acquire.

23. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

23.1.          Subordination of Lease.  This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of all mortgages and deeds of trust securing any amount now or hereafter encumbering Landlord’s interest in the Premises or Building, all without the necessity of having further instruments executed on the part of Tenant in order to effectuate such subordination.  Upon the written request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord such further instruments evidencing the subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by Landlord, and Tenant shall attorn to any such mortgagee or beneficiary under any mortgage or deed of trust in the event of a foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or other purchaser or a grantee in respect thereof; provided, however, that each mortgagee or beneficiary under any such mortgage or deed of trust, or purchaser or grantee in respect thereof, shall agree not to terminate or disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises under this Lease in the event of a foreclosure of such mortgage or deed of trust or a deed in lieu thereof, as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease at such time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee or beneficiary under a mortgage or deed of trust may at any time subordinate its mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease in all or in part, without Tenant’s consent, by execution of a written instrument subordinating such mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease, in which case this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery and/or recording.

-39-


23.2.          Approval by Lenders.  Tenant acknowledges that the provisions of this Lease may be subject to the approval of any lender that may hereafter make a loan secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on the Premises or Building.  If such lender shall require, as a condition of such financing that modifications be made to this Lease, at Lender’s request, Tenant agrees to execute appropriate amendments to this Lease to effect such modifications; provided, however, that such modifications shall not change the size, location or dimensions of the Premises or increase the amount of the Rent or the other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease.

25. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST.

The term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners at the times in question of title to the Premises or the Building.  In the event of any sale or transfer by Landlord of the Premises or Building, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of any and all liability and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission relating to the Premises, Building or Lease occurring after the consummation of such sale or transfer.  If any Security Deposit has been made by Tenant, Landlord may transfer the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor and upon such transfer, Landlord shall be relieved of further liability with respect thereto.  This Lease shall not affected by any such sale or transfer, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or transferee, such attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments on the part of Landlord or Tenant.

a)      Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises and fails to pay Rent when due; or

-40-

e)      Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditor, or provides for an arrangement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors; or

f)      Tenant files a voluntary petition for relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor relief laws (collectively, “Insolvency Laws”), or a petition for relief is filed against Tenant under any Insolvency Laws and not withdrawn or dismissed within forty-five (45) days thereafter; or

g)      Appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other person to take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets; or

h)      Commencement of proceedings for winding up or dissolving (whether voluntary or involuntary) Tenant, if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company.

26.2.          Remedies.  In the event of Tenant’s default hereunder, then in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under any law, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, without further notice or demand of any kind to do the following:

a)      Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and Tenant shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease;

b)      Continue this Lease in effect, reenter and occupy the Premises for the account of Tenant, and collect any unpaid Rent or other charges which have or thereafter become due and payable; and/or

c)      Reenter the Premises under the provisions of subparagraph (b), and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.

If Landlord reenters the Premises under the provisions of subparagraphs (b) or (c) above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the obligation of Tenant to pay any Rent or other amounts payable hereunder, unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease: In the event of any reentry or retaking of possession by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part of Tenant’s

-41-


personal property in the Premises and to place such property in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant.  If Landlord elects to relet the Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations or repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due.  If that portion of rent received from the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than the amount of the Rent due, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly upon demand by Landlord.  Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations and repairs to the Premises, which are not covered by the rent received from the reletting.

If Landlord shall terminate this Lease under the provisions of subparagraphs (a) or (c) above, in addition to any of the rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under applicable law, Landlord may recover as damages from Tenant the following:

(1)        Past Rent.  The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; plus

(2)        Rent Prior to Award.  The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(3)        Rent After Award.  The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

(4)        Proximately Caused Damages.  Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b) maintaining the Premises after Tenant’s default, (c) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or alterations, and (d) reletting the Premises, including brokers’ commissions.

-42-


“The worth at the time of the award” as used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above is to be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate.  “The worth at the time of the award” as used in subparagraph (3) above is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).

The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition.  Acceptance of Rent by Landlord subsequent to any breach hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding breach other than the failure to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of any breach at the time of such acceptance of Rent.  Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any term, covenant or condition unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such waiver.

26.3.          Landlord’s Default.  In no event shall Landlord be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless and until Landlord shall have defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Lease and Tenant shall have given to Landlord written notice of the default and, within a reasonable period of time following Landlord’s receipt of such notice, but in no event less than thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of such notice, Landlord shall not commence diligently to prosecute the cure of such default to completion.  In the event of any alleged default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall give notice by registered mail to any beneficiary or mortgagee of a deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such shall be necessary to effect a cure.  Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any payments of Rent or any other amounts due and payable under this Lease except as otherwise specifically provided herein.  The liability of Landlord (including all persons and entities that comprise Landlord) under this Lease or otherwise in the connection with the Premises or the Building shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Building, and in no event shall any other assets of Landlord or any assets of any constituent partner or member of Landlord be subject to any liability arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the Premises or the Building on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through, or under Tenant, Tenant expressly waives and releases Landlord from any personal liability for breach of this Lease.

29. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Tenant, upon paying the Rent and performing all of its other obligations under this Lease, shall peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises throughout the Term without any hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease and to any mortgage, or deed of trust to which this Lease may be subordinate.

30. FORCE MAJEURE.

Any prevention, delay or stoppage of work to be performed by Landlord or Tenant which is due to strikes, lockouts, other labor disputes, inability to obtain labor, materials, equipment or reasonable substitutes therefore, acts of God, governmental restrictions or regulations or controls, judicial orders, enemy or hostile government actions, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform hereunder, shall excuse performance of the work by that party for a period equal to the duration of that prevention, delay or stoppage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent or other amounts payable under the Lease be excused or delayed.

31. SIGN CONTROL.

-44-


Landlord shall have the right to charge the cost of removal to Tenant as additional rent hereunder, payable within ten (10) days of written demand by Landlord.  Landlord shall have the right to place or cause to be placed and to maintain on the exterior of the Building such Signage as Landlord shall desire.

32. MISCELLANEOUS.

(“Subtenant”), in connection with a certain sublease dated as of August 31, 2020 by and between Tenant and Subtenant (the “Sublease;” and the premises subleased thereby are referred to herein as the “Subleased Premises”). The Sublease is a sublease under a certain Office Lease dated as of June 7, 2011 by and between Tenant and Landlord as amended by that certain First Extension of Lease made on January 26, 2018, (the “Master Lease”). A copy of the Sublease is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Landlord hereby consents to the subletting by Tenant to Subtenant on the following terms and conditions:

1.         Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein will have the meanings ascribed in the Sublease, or, if not defined therein, in the Master Lease.

2.         Scope of this Consent. Nothing in this Consent or the Sublease shall: (i) constitute approval or ratification by Landlord of any of the provisions of the Sublease or any other agreement relating thereto (other than the actual demise of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant from Tenant) or constitute a representation or warranty on behalf of Landlord; (ii) waive or release Tenant from any of its obligations under the Master Lease or any other document affecting the Leased Premises or Subleased Premises, or waive any present or future default of Tenant under the Master Lease; (iii) modify, waive, amend or affect any provisions, covenants or conditions of the Master Lease or any rights or remedies of Landlord thereunder; or (iv) be construed as an acknowledgment of any obligation of Landlord to Subtenant under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises. This Consent is not assignable, and Landlord reserves the right to consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any other matter set forth in the Master Lease, including, without limitation, any further sublettings or occupancies of all or any portion of the Leased Premises, or assignments or other transfers of all or any portion of the Master Lease or any sublease or assignment. Landlord makes no representations or warranties of any kind in connection with the Sublease or this Consent, and Landlord takes no position as to whether any of the representations or warranties made by Tenant in the Sublease are true or correct.

3.         Master Lease Superior. Subtenant acknowledges that any rights or remedies it has under the Sublease are derived from the Master Lease and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Sublease, Subtenant agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease as fully and completely as if Subtenant were the original tenant under the Master Lease (except that Subtenant shall be obligated to pay the rental reserved under the Sublease with respect to the Subleased Premises).

4.         Liability of Tenant. Tenant is and shall remain primarily liable for all charges incurred with respect to the Premises, including the Subleased Premises and for the full performance of all covenants and conditions set forth in the Master Lease (including, without limitation, all insurance and indemnity obligations (whether arising from any use of the Leased Premises or Subleased Premises by Tenant or Subtenant), the obligation to cure any default under or breach of the Master Lease (whether such default is caused by Tenant, Subtenant or


anyone claiming by, through or under either) and the obligation to make all payments under the Master Lease directly to Landlord).

5.         Termination of Master Lease. If, at any time prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Sublease or Master Lease (or Subtenant’s or Tenant’s right to possession thereunder) or if the Master Lease or Sublease shall expire or be sooner terminated for any reason, then the Sublease shall simultaneously terminate. If such termination occurs, Subtenant shall vacate the Subleased Premises on or before the date of termination, and Subtenant hereby waives any right to receive any notice to quit in connection with such vacation or termination of its right to possess the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Landlord’s option and upon written demand from Landlord, Subtenant shall attorn to Landlord for the remainder of the term of the Sublease, such attornment to be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease (except that the Leased Premises shall be the Subleased Premises and the rent set forth in the Sublease shall be substituted for the annual Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Basic Operating Cost set forth in the Master Lease). In no event, however, shall Landlord be (a) liable for any act or omission of Tenant, (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Subtenant had or might have against Tenant, (c) bound by any rent or other payment paid by Subtenant to Tenant more than thirty (30) days in advance, (d) bound by any amendment to the Sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord; or (e) bound by any security deposit paid to Tenant unless such security deposit is actually received by Landlord. Subtenant agrees to execute from time to time documents reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in confirmation of said attornment. The provisions of this Paragraph shall be self-operative and shall apply notwithstanding the fact that, as a matter of law, the Sublease may otherwise terminate upon the termination of the Master Lease. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be construed to impair or modify any right otherwise exercisable by Landlord, whether under the Master Lease or any other agreement, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to terminate Subtenant’s right to occupy the Subleased Premises if Landlord elects not to recognize Subtenant. If Subtenant shall continue in possession of any portion of the Subleased Premises after the termination of the Master Lease without Landlord’s express written permission, then such holdover shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under the Master Lease (for which no notice or cure period shall be applicable), entitling Landlord to all rights and remedies afforded to Landlord under the Master Lease, at law or in equity. Tenant shall immediately and vigorously pursue against Subtenant all rights and remedies available to Tenant under the Sublease, at law or in equity in order to remedy such holdover.

6.         Indemnity. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and protect Landlord and hold harmless of and from any and all claims, proceedings, loss, cost, damage, causes of action, liabilities, injury or expense arising out of or related to claims of injury to or death of persons, damage to property occurring or resulting directly or indirectly from the use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises or activities of Subtenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees in, on or about the Subleased Premises or Project, including claims arising out of Landlord’s own negligence or intentional acts, except to the extent specifically covered under any indemnity of Landlord to Tenant under the Lease, such indemnity to include, but without limitation, the obligation to provide all costs of defense against any such claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Master Lease and/or this Consent, Landlord has assumed no duty to directly indemnify Subtenant under the Sublease or Master Lease, and Landlord hereby expressly disclaims any such obligation.


7.         Insurance. Subtenant hereby agrees, specifically for the benefit of Landlord that it shall maintain the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under the Sublease, and further agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease, it shall name Landlord, Landlord’s property manager from time to time and, if requested by Landlord, Landlord’s lender as additional insureds tinder any policies of commercial liability insurance maintained by Subtenant. Subtenant shall, on or before the Effective Date, provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord, that Subtenant has obtained the insurance required hereunder.

8.         Notices.

(a)        Subtenant shall simultaneously deliver a copy to Landlord of all notices sent to Tenant, in the manner set forth in the Master Lease to the address of Landlord set forth in the Master Lease, In addition, Tenant shall send to Landlord any notices sent to Subtenant under the Sublease. All notices to Subtenant shall be sent to the Subleased Premises.

(b)        Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver to any other party copies of any notices under the Master Lease that are sent to Tenant or under the Sublease that are sent to Subtenant.

9.         Ratification. By executing this Consent, each of Tenant and Subtenant acknowledges and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Consent, and each acknowledges that Landlord has agreed to execute this Consent based upon Tenant’s, and Subtenant’s acceptance of the terms and conditions hereof. As further inducement for Landlord to grant its consent to the Sublease, Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord, to the best of its knowledge as of the date hereof, that Tenant has no claims, counterclaims, defenses or set-offs against Landlord arising from or out of a breach or default by Landlord under the Master Lease, that neither Landlord nor Tenant is in default under any terms of the Master Lease, nor has any event occurred which, with the passage of time or giving of notice (or both), will constitute an Event of Default under the Master Lease, and that no fact or circumstance exists which would permit Tenant to terminate the Master Lease.

10.       Broker. Tenant and Subtenant each represent and warrant that, no broker, agent, or finder is or might be entitled to a commission or compensation from Landlord in connection with the Sublease. Subtenant and Tenant, jointly and severally, each shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any claims or causes of action for a commission or other form of compensation arising from the Sublease asserted by any person or entity. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination or expiration of the Sublease and the Master Lease.

11.       Effectiveness of Consent. This Consent shall not be effective unless and until (a) Landlord executes same and (b) Tenant reimburses to Landlord all fees of Landlord incurred in reviewing the Sublease, preparing this consent and all other matters related to the subleasing transaction referred to herein (which date shall be referred to as the “Effective Date”). It is expressly understood that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to commence its review of the final Consent prior to execution thereof by Landlord, unless Landlord receives, (a) an original Consent signed by Tenant, and Subtenant and, (b) all payments required by this Consent


to be made to Landlord in connection with the execution hereof, and (c) all insurance certificates and other deliverables of Subtenant required under this Consent and the Sublease.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Consent to Sublease Agreement on this 31st day of August 2020.

2.2        [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

2.3        Purchase Orders for Crofelemer Final.

A.          Subject to Section 2.3B, in [****]during the Term, [****], Napo shall provide Glenmark with a binding Purchase Order for the quantity of Crofelemer Final to be purchased during each such Financial Year, each Purchase Order for Crofelemer Final shall specify:

i.     the quantity of Crofelemer Final to be ordered in the Purchase Order during the Financial Year for such Purchase Order (the quantity ordered shall be: aa) [****]; bb) in multiples of [****] (i.e., validated, milled and blended lots) of Crofelemer Final; and cc) no more than [****];

ii.    the Purchase Price for the quantity of Crofelemer Final being purchased pursuant to such Purchase Order, which, except as set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.3G, Section 2.3H, Section 3.5D, and Section 3.6E, will be non-changeable during the life of the Purchase Order;

5|Page


In the event of any contradiction in the terms of any Purchase Order and this Agreement, the Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, unless otherwise specifically agreed by the Parties in writing.

B.          Notwithstanding Section 2.3A, Napo shall be under no obligation to provide Glenmark with a new Purchase Order Pursuant to Section 2.3A until the Purchase Order for the immediately preceding Financial Year has been terminated either by agreement of the Parties or pursuant to Section 2.3G.

C.          Glenmark shall submit each Purchase Order, within [****] of receipt thereof, to the appropriate Indian authority to obtain an export license for the full amount of Crofelemer Final stated on such Purchase Order.

D.          Glenmark shall accept or reject, in writing within [****], each Purchase Order from Napo made in accordance with this Agreement and with Appendix 2.3D.  If Glenmark does not communicate acceptance or rejection of a Purchase Order within such fifteen [****], then the Purchase Order shall be deemed accepted. Once a Purchase Order is placed, Napo shall not amend or cancel such Purchase Order without Glenmark’s prior consent. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

E.          Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Glenmark shall then be obligated to deliver to Napo or its Affiliates, by the required delivery dates and pursuant to the delivery instructions as are set forth in each Purchase Order.  Glenmark shall deliver not less than [****] nor more than [****] of the quantities specified in the Purchase Order applicable to each such delivery date.  Each such delivery must be in accordance with any special instructions and/or invoicing information stated in the Purchase Order. Collection of the Crofelemer Final from the Facility shall be made by Napo within a period of [****] from the date of written notification by Glenmark to Napo that the Crofelemer Final is ready for delivery (“Delivery Readiness Date”). In no event will the Delivery Readiness Date be prior to the delivery date specified in any given Purchase Order for such Crofelemer Final.  Except in case of Force Majeure event, in the event that Napo fails to collect the Crofelemer Final from the Facility on the Delivery Readiness Date and such failure to collect is for reasons directly attributable to Napo, Napo shall be liable to pay customary and reasonable warehousing charges starting from the Delivery Readiness Date and going until such time as the Crofelemer Final is collected by Napo. Glenmark shall have the right to store the Crofelemer Final with a third party or in its own warehouse if not collected within [****] from the Delivery Readiness Date.  Subject to the quantity variations set forth in this Section 2.3E, each failure of Glenmark to have a Delivery Readiness Date for the quantities of Crofelemer Final ordered pursuant to a Purchase Order within [****] of the required delivery date as set forth in the Purchase Order shall be regarded hereunder as a failure to deliver for purposes of establishing Chronicity; provided, however this will not excuse NAPO from taking delivery of the Crofelemer Final that is ready for delivery (subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement related to delivery and acceptance of Crofelemer Final by Napo).

F.          Napo shall be obligated to purchase and take delivery of such quantities of Crofelemer Final as are set forth in each accepted Purchase Order, provided (i) such Crofelemer Final is delivered within the specified schedule as set forth therein and subject to the terms of Section 2.3E, and (ii) such fulfillment is in accordance with any special instructions or invoicing information stated in the Purchase Order.  Each time Glenmark fails to deliver the Crofelemer Final ordered pursuant to a Purchase Order in a timely fashion, such failure shall be used for purposes of establishing Chronicity as per Section 2.3E.

G.          Each Purchase Order shall terminate as of the later of the date of the last shipment therein or March 31 of the Financial Year for which such Purchase Order was submitted to and accepted by Glenmark pursuant to the terms stated in this Section 2.3. Napo will have no further obligation to purchase any Crofelemer Final on a given Purchase Order once the Purchase Order has terminated.

6|Page


H.          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless the reasons are attributable to Napo, Napo shall not be required to pay for any Crofelemer Final pursuant to a given Purchase Order (i) for which Napo has not received a timely Delivery Readiness Notice, (ii) that has not been physically delivered to Napo by Glenmark, or (iii) acceptance was rejected by Napo pursuant to Section 3.5 and not replaced in a timely manner by Glenmark.  The quantity of Crofelemer Final in a given Purchase Order shall be reduced by the quantity of Crofelemer Final that Glenmark is unable to deliver to Napo for the reasons set forth in this Section 2.3H.

2.4        Napo-Supplied CPL

A.          By the 5th day of the first month of every calendar quarter, Glenmark will send to Napo a written statement of Glenmark’s then-current inventory of Napo-Supplied CPL, which statement will include, among other items, (i) the number of kilograms available for processing as of that date, (ii) the number of kilograms delivered to Glenmark during the immediately preceding quarter and (iii) the number of kilograms consumed in processing during the immediately preceding quarter.

B.          Absent an actual Force Majeure event, Napo, in accordance with each binding Purchase Order for Crofelemer Final, will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide sufficient quantities of Napo-Supplied CPL in a timely manner to allow Glenmark to maintain an inventory of Napo-Supplied CPL. Napo will provide Napo-Supplied CPL (upon written notice to Glenmark of the shipment readiness) which is collectively sufficient to [****] of the Crofelemer Final indicated in any Napo Purchase Order for any given quarter. Glenmark shall use the Napo-Supplied CPL only for purposes of Manufacturing Crofelemer Final for Napo and its Affiliates, and for no other purpose.  Glenmark cannot use Napo-Supplied CPL to produce Crofelemer Final or Crofelemer-Based Product for its own use or for sale to a third-party.  This Section 2.4B shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.

C.          Napo shall submit an invoice for each shipment of Napo-Supplied CPL according to the terms defined in Appendix 2.4C.

D.          Napo will ship DAP (port of arrival, India) (Incoterms 2010) the Napo-Supplied CPL to Glenmark. Thus, Glenmark’s obligations with respect to Napo-Supplied CPL shall be (i) responsibility for risk of loss upon Napo-Supplied CPL being customs cleared at port of entry into India, (ii)  taking delivery of the Napo-Supplied CPL upon arrival at the port of entry into India, (iii) paying import taxes and duties applied to each Napo-Supplied CPL shipment, (iv) fulfilling all other steps necessary to ensure successful customs clearance and (v) paying shipment costs for Napo-Supplied CPL from the port of entry to Glenmark’s Facility. Ownership title and risk of loss for the Napo-Supplied CPL will transfer to Glenmark upon customs clearance at the port of entry in India and Glenmark shall retain ownership of the Napo-Supplied CPL through all processing steps to Crofelemer Final.

E.          Notwithstanding any other provisions hereinabove, Glenmark shall have no liability hereunder to the extent any such liability is attributable to failure of Napo-Supplied CPL to conform to applicable Specifications upon testing (per mutually agreed and accepted test methods) at the Facility.  Glenmark shall test the Napo-Supplied CPL as soon as practicable and will notify Napo within five (5) Business Days of any Napo-Supplied CPL that does not meet the release Specifications set forth in the Quality Agreement.

F.          In the event Napo fails to deliver Napo-Supplied CPL, which meets the release Specifications in the Quality Agreement, and in the quantities necessary for Glenmark to Manufacture Crofelemer Final in accordance with any given Purchase Order, such failure shall excuse Glenmark's obligation to supply the quantity of Crofelemer Final specified in that Purchase Order, within the timeframe requested.  However, once a sufficient amount of Napo-Supplied CPL has been provided to and accepted (having met release Specifications) by Glenmark, Glenmark will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Napo with the previously Ordered quantity of Crofelemer Final.

in this Agreement; (ii) Glenmark's negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of this Agreement, or (iii) Glenmark’s material breach of this Agreement; except in each case of clauses (i) through (iii), if, and to the extent, Napo has an obligation to indemnify the Glenmark Indemnitees, or any one of them, pursuant to Section 7.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the entire liability of Glenmark under this Agreement exceed the Purchase Price received by Glenmark in connection with the batch(es) of Crofelemer Final giving rise to such liability.

7.2        Indemnification by Napo. Napo shall indemnify, defend and hold Glenmark and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents ("Glenmark Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from any Third Party claims made or suits brought against Glenmark which arise or result from: (i) the breach of any of Napo's representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; (ii) a claim by a Third Party that the Manufacturing/supply of Crofelemer Final by Glenmark in accordance with Napo’s Manufacturing Instructions or, marketing and sale of any finished Crofelemer-Based Product by Napo or its Affiliates infringes such Third Party's intellectual property rights or (iii) Napo's negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of this Agreement, or (iv) Napo’s material breach of this Agreement; except in each case of clauses (i) through (iv) if, and to the extent Glenmark has an obligation to indemnify the Napo Indemnitees, or any one of them, pursuant to Section 7.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event, save and except the eventuality covered in Section 7.2(ii) above, the entire liability of Napo under this Agreement shall exceed the value of the Purchase Order of Crofelemer Final (excluding that portion of the Purchase Price that is for CPL) giving rise to such liability.

7.3        Procedures.

A.          A Party making a claim for indemnity under this Article 7 hereinafter is referred to as an “Indemnified Party” and the Party against whom such claim is asserted is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All claims by any Indemnified Party under this Section shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with the following provisions. If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Third Party, said Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand stating with reasonable specificity the circumstances of the Indemnified Party's claim for indemnification; provided, however, that any failure to give such written notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced by such delay. After receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, then upon reasonable notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, or upon the written request of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall defend, manage and conduct any proceedings, negotiations or communications involving any claimant whose claim is the subject of the Indemnified Party's notice to the Indemnifying Party as set forth above, and shall take all actions necessary, including the posting of such bond or other security as may be required by any governmental authority, so as to enable the claim to be defended against or resolved without expense or other action by the Indemnified Party.

B.          In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole expense of such Indemnified Party.

C.          Upon written request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall to the extent it may legally do so and to the extent that it is compensated in advance by the Indemnifying Party for any costs and expenses thereby incurred, (i) take such action as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such action, (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party to dispute such action in the name of the Indemnified Party and to conduct a defense to such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, or (iii) render to the Indemnifying Party all such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such dispute and defense.

D.          The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

(i)       Upon termination of the Agreement by NAPO pursuant to Section 8.2.A(i) or 8.2.B(iii), NAPO shall take the delivery of the Crofelemer Final ready for delivery, if legally permissible, and make the payment of the Purchase Price therefor as well as for any work in progress at the Actual Cost, excluding the value attributable to the CPL,  in which event GLS shall not be liable to pay cost for CPL, therefor, with no markup.  Glenmark promptly shall return any remaining Napo-Supplied CPL to Napo or its designee at Napo's expense and the Purchase Order will be cancelled without payment for the deficit in the Minimum Quantity.

E.           Accrued Obligations. Except as set forth herein, any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any obligation which has accrued prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration, which obligations shall remain in full force and effect for the period provided therein.

9.2        Entire Agreement and Inconsistency. Subject to Section 2.5, this Agreement which includes all Appendices, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, together with the Quality Agreement and the Transfer Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no oral or written statement may be used to interpret or vary the meaning of the terms and conditions hereof. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Quality Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and any legal or regulatory requirements, amendments to this Agreement shall be considered promptly in good faith in order to satisfy such requirements.

9.3        Assignment. Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other Party to any Affiliate or in connection with the acquisition of such Party or the sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the assigning Party relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each Party, its successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Section shall be null and void.

9.4        Force Majeure. Except for either Party’s payment obligations, failure of any Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not subject such Party to any liability to the other Party, or place them in breach of any term or condition of this Agreement if, and solely to the extent, such failure is caused by Force Majeure. The corresponding obligations of the other Party will be suspended to the same extent. "Force Majeure" shall mean any unanticipated event, reason or cause beyond the reasonable control of a Party (including fire, flood, embargo, power shortage or failure, acts of war, insurrection, riot, terrorism, strike, lockout or other labor disturbance, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, or storm or like catastrophe, acts of God or any acts, omissions or delays in acting of the other Party); provided, however, that the Party affected shall, within five (5) days of its occurrence, notify the other Party, stating the nature of the condition constituting Force Majeure as defined herein, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. Then, such Party shall exert commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate, cure and overcome any such causes and to resume performance of its obligations with all possible speed. If a condition constituting Force Majeure as defined herein prevents, or would likely prevent, a Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement for more than sixty (60) days, the Parties shall meet to negotiate a mutually satisfactory solution to the problem, if practicable, including the use of a Third Party to fulfill the obligations hereunder of the Party invoking the Force Majeure.

21|Page


9.6        Independent Contractor. Each Party shall be acting as an independent contractor in performing under this Agreement and shall not be considered or deemed to be an agent, employee, joint venture or partner of the other Party. Neither Party to this Agreement shall have any express or implied right or authority to assume or create any obligations on behalf of, or in the name of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party to any contract, agreement or undertaking with any Third Party.

9.7        Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties. All other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.8        No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, either express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Third Party (other than Jaguar Health, Inc.) any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under, or by reason of, this Agreement.

9.11      Dispute Resolution.

A.          In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof (hereinafter referred to as "Dispute”), between the Parties that relates to interpretation of a Party's rights and/or obligations hereunder or any alleged breach of this Agreement, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with this Section. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, however, nothing herein contained shall preclude a party from seeking equitable remedies in any court of competent jurisdiction.

B.          Any Dispute shall be referred for decision forthwith to a senior executive of each Party not involved in the Dispute. If no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days of the request by one Party to the other to refer the same to such senior executive, then the Parties agree to attempt to settle such Dispute through good faith non-binding mediation efforts. If after a period of thirty (30) days, the Parties have not settled the Dispute by non-binding mediation, then any such Dispute which does not involve a claim for equitable relief shall be settled by Arbitration according to the provisions of Section 9.11C.

C.          Any Dispute that is not resolved in accordance with Section 9.11B shall be decided by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); such arbitration to be held in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York on an expedited basis. Each Party hereby expressly waives any right to object to such jurisdiction on the basis of venue or forum non-convenience. Any arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. One arbitrator shall be selected by Napo, one arbitrator shall be selected by Glenmark and the third arbitrator shall be selected by the two arbitrators so selected. The arbitrators shall have no power to change the provisions of this Agreement nor to make an award of reformation.

Both Parties, solely for the purpose of collection of a judgment against them, consent to jurisdiction and venue in New York, New York, USA.

9.12      No Waiver. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time for any period the provisions of, or any rights deriving from this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or rights, or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

9.13      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the respective Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) by facsimile or other electronic transmission, if identified and complete, will be regarded as an original signature and shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of each such instrument.

9.14      Further Assurances. Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, the execution and delivery of such agreements, documents and instruments as may be necessary, or as the other Party may reasonably request, in connection with the Parties’ respective performances or obligations under this Agreement, or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof, or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

9.15      Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on the Parties from time to time. Each Party agrees that it will not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity in accordance with Applicable Law.

The headings and captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement.
