NOTE

  Leases
 
The Company has obtained the right of use for office and manufacturing facilities under
five
operating lease agreements,
one
of which has terminated and
one
of which has been subleased, and for equipment under
three
operating lease agreements with initial terms exceeding
one
year,
one
of which has terminated, and under
three
operating lease agreements with initial terms of
one
year or less.
 
The Company obtained the right of use of real estate located in South San Francisco, California, in
June 2015
that was scheduled to terminate on
April 30, 2020,
with a
five
-year extension option that the Company exercised in
July 2019,
extending the lease until
April 30, 2025.
The right of use of these premises was assessed as impaired as of
December 31, 2019 (
see Note
14
). The Company also obtained, via the Merger in
February 2018,
the right of use of facilities located in Alpharetta, Georgia, that terminates on 
February 28, 2021,
with
no
extension option. These facilities were subleased for the remainder of the lease term effective
November 30, 2018.
In addition, the Company obtained the right of use of
three
facilities located in South San Francisco, California, under
two
leases that terminate on
July 31, 2021
and
one
lease that terminated on
November 30, 2019,
with
no
extension options, and the right of use of equipment under
two
leases that terminate between
January 2020
and
September 2021
and
one
lease that terminated on
November 22, 2019.
 
As of
December 31, 2019,
the weighted average discount rate for operating leases with initial terms of more than
one
year was
10.53%
and the weighted average remaining term of these leases was
3.72
 years. Discount rates were determined using the Company’s marginal rate of borrowing at the time each lease was executed or extended.
 
The following table summarizes the Company’s undiscounted cash payment obligations for its operating lease liabilities with initial terms of more than

When the Company subleased its facilities located in Alpharetta, Georgia, for less than it is required to pay under the head lease, it recorded a lease loss charge of
$253,000
on the cease-use date in the
three
months ending
December 31, 2018,
which, along with the related impairment of property and equipment (see Note

), was recorded as a component of costs of exit from leased premises within operating expenses.

rent expense was recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of each operating lease and, accordingly, the Company recorded the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability, which was included within accrued expenses. Rent expense was
$875,000
for the year ended
December 
31,
2018.
