             breast cancer)

          -  Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 CTCAE v.4.0 from toxicities related to any prior
             treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive
             therapy;

          -  The subject has an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1

          -  Patients must have normal organ and marrow function and laboratory values as follows
             within 4 days before the first dose of cabozantinib

             tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scan as appropriate,
             within 28 days before the first dose of cabozantinib

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  The subject has received cabozantinib or another c-Met inhibitor (please note ARQ 197
             is not considered a MET inhibitor for purposes of this study given data to suggest it
             inhibits tubulin)

          -  Leptomeningeal disease as the only site of CNS involvement

          -  Known contraindication to MRI with gadolinium contrast, such as cardiac pacemaker,
             shrapnel, or ocular foreign body

          -  More than 2 seizures over the last 4 weeks prior to study entry

          -  Grade 1 or higher CNS hemorrhage on baseline brain MRI, or history of grade 2 or
             higher CNS hemorrhage within 12 months

          -  The subject has evidence of tumor invading the GI tract (esophagus, stomach, small or
             large bowel, rectum or anus), or any evidence of endotracheal or endobronchial tumor

          -  The subject requires concomitant treatment, in therapeutic doses, with anticoagulants.
             Low dose aspirin (≤ 81 mg/day), low-dose warfarin ( ≤1 mg/day), and prophylactic LMWH
             are permitted.

          -  The subject has prothrombin time (PT)/INR or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test
             ≥1.3 × the laboratory ULN within 7 days before the first dose of cabozantinib.

          -  Inability to swallow intact tablets

          -  Diagnosis of another malignancy within 2 years before the first dose of cabozantinib,
             except for superficial skin cancers, or localized, low grade tumors deemed cured and
             not treated with systemic therapy

          -  Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy
             are not eligible

             eligible

             cabozantinib. Three EKGs must be performed at screening. If the average of these three
             consecutive results for QTcF is > 500 msec, the subject is ineligible.
