the right to continue to use “Suite 210” as part of Tenant’s mailing address. Any references by Landlord to “Suite 210” or “Suite 270” shall be deemed to refer to the Premises. 

C. Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Existing Lease to extend the Term, subject to each of the terms, conditions, and provisions set
forth herein. 
 A G R E E M E N
T 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements of Landlord and Tenant contained
herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 
 1.
RECITALS 
 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree the above recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated
herein as though set forth in full. 
 2. DEFINITIONS 

As of the date hereof, unless context clearly indicates otherwise, all references to “the Lease” or “this Lease” in the
Existing Lease or in this Amendment shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Lease, as amended by this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Lease unless context clearly
indicates otherwise. 

 3. EXTENDED TERM 

The parties acknowledge that the Lease Term is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2014. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease Term is
hereby extended such that the Expiration Date shall be June 30, 2019. 
 4. BASE RENT 

Effective as of July 1, 2014 and continuing through the Expiration Date, the monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord for the
Premises pursuant to Article 3 of the Existing Lease shall be payable in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

					
	 Period
	  	Monthly Base Rent	 
	 July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015
	  	$	16,616.25	  
	 July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Tenant is not in Default (beyond any applicable notice and cure
period), then Tenant shall be excused from the obligation of paying the monthly Base Rent (but not any other amounts) due hereunder for the month of July, 2014. 

5. BASE YEAR 

Effective as of July 1, 2014, the Base Year shall be the calendar year 2014. 

6. CONDITION OF PREMISES / LANDLORD’S WORK 

(a) Tenant currently occupies the Premises and acknowledges that it has accepted the same as suitable for Tenant’s use, AS IS, and without
representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition, use or occupancy which may be made thereof, subject only to Landlord’s obligation to perform the Landlord’s Work in accordance with Section 6(b) below or as otherwise set
forth in this Amendment. Landlord represents that the Premises has not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist. The foregoing statement is included in this Amendment solely for the purpose of complying with California Civil Code
Section 1938 and shall not in any manner affect Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective responsibilities for compliance with construction-related accessibility standards as set forth in the Existing Lease. 

(b) Following the date of this Amendment, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) paint the interior walls of the Premises,
(ii) re-carpet the interior carpeted floors within the Premises, and (iii) add one HVAC register to the westernmost (along the windowline) Private Office/Conference Room and install a dedicated controller for the room (collectively, the
“Landlord’s Work”). The type and quality of Landlord’s Work shall be typical of standard interior improvements constructed by Landlord which are of the nature and quality required by 

  
 2 

 
specifications developed for the Building containing the Premises by Landlord. To facilitate construction of the Landlord’s Work in conjunction with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises,
Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and take all actions reasonably required by Landlord to facilitate the completion of Landlord’s Work. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant understands and agrees that, in connection
with construction of the Landlord’s Work, Tenant may be required to move personal property located within portions of the Premises and/or to vacate portions of the Premises from time to time during construction of the Landlord’s Work.
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with advance notice of the need for such relocation in connection with Landlord’s completion of the Landlord’s Work. Tenant also acknowledges that during construction of
the Landlord’s Work that the areas of the Premises then being occupied by Tenant will not be separated from the work being performed by Landlord and Landlord’s contractors and that, as a result of Landlord’s construction of the
Landlord’s Work, there may be construction noise, dust and related inconveniences to Tenant’s use of the Premises. In connection with the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within the Existing Lease, Tenant
hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, or for any direct or indirect injury to or
interference with Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, any such injury or damage arising as a result of any dust, fumes, noise or similar disruption, nuisance or annoyance created by Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors
in connection with the Landlord’s Work; provided the foregoing shall not release Landlord from any liability arising out of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the access to the
Premises by Landlord and Landlord’s employees, agents and contractors nor their activities within the Premises in connection with construction of the Landlord’s Work shall constitute nor be deemed to constitute a denial of Tenant’s
access to, or interference with Tenant’s use of, the Premises nor shall either constitute grounds for an abatement of Rent payable under the Lease. 

(c) In the event, subject to the Project’s standard terms and conditions, Landlord permits Tenant or its vendor with access to the
Building’s MPOE room for the purpose of providing additional telecommunications service to the Premises, Landlord shall (if necessary) cause an additional single 110v electrical outlet to be installed for purposes of providing standard
electrical service; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to upgrade the electrical service to the MPOE or upgrade or install additional electrical panels within the Building for purposes of providing such additional electrical
outlet. 
 7. OPTION TO EXTEND 

Tenant shall have one option to extend the Term of the Lease for a period of five (5) years (the period shall be referred to as the
“Extension Period”) by giving written notice of exercise of such option (“Extension Option Notice”) at least one hundred eighty (180) days, but not more than two hundred seventy (270) days,
prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. The Extension Period shall commence, if at all, on July 1, 2019. If Tenant is in Default (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) under any term or provision of the Lease on the date of giving an
Extension Option Notice, or if Tenant is in Default (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) under any term or provision of the Lease on the date of the applicable Extension Period is to commence, the Extension Period at the option of Landlord
shall not commence and the 

  
 3 

 
Lease shall expire June 30, 2019. The Extension Period shall be upon all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, except that (i) the monthly Base Rent during such Extension Period
shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of then Fair Market Rent, (ii) any work, allowance, free rent, or concession previously provided by Landlord shall not apply; and (iii) Tenant shall not have any additional option to extend. 

(a) Fair Market Rent. The term “Fair Market Rent” for purposes of determining monthly Base Rent during the Extension
Period shall mean the minimum monthly rent generally applicable to office leases at comparable class office buildings of comparable size, age, quality of the Premises in the South San Francisco area projected as of the first day of the Extension
Period by giving due consideration for the quality of the Building and improvements therein (including the quality of the then existing improvements in the Premises as if they had been newly constructed and paid for by Landlord on the first day of
the Extension Period specifically for the Extension Period), the quality of the credit of the tenants, for a term comparable to the Extension Period at the time the commencement of the Extension Period is scheduled to commence, without any deduction
for amortization or cost of tenant improvements, allowances, capital improvements or commissions whether or not incurred by Landlord, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease that will be applicable during the Extension
Period. 
 (b) Procedure to Determine Fair Market Rent. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s determination of
the Fair Market Rent (“Landlord’s FMR”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Extension Option Notice. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice of Landlord’s FMR, Tenant shall have the
right either to: (i) accept Landlord’s FMR, or (ii) elect to have the Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with the appraisal procedure set forth below. The failure of Tenant to provide written notice of its election under the
preceding sentence shall be deemed an acceptance of Landlord’s FMR. The election (or deemed election) by Tenant under this section shall be non-revocable and binding on the parties. 

(c) Appraisers. If Tenant has elected to have the Fair Market Rent determined by an appraisal, then within ten (10) days after
receipt of Tenant’s written notice of such an election, each party, by giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint a broker to render a written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. Each broker must be a real
estate broker licensed in the State where the Building is located for at least five years and with at least five years’ experience in the appraisal of rental rates of leases or in the leasing of space in office buildings in the area in which
the Building is located and otherwise unaffiliated with either Landlord or Tenant. The two brokers shall render their written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the
appointment of the second broker. If the Fair Market Rent of each broker is within three percent (3%) of each other, then the average of the two appraisals of Fair Market Rent shall be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. If one party
does not appoint its broker as provided above, then the one appointed shall determine the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent so determined under this section shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. 

(d) Third Appraiser. If the Fair Market Rent determined by the brokers is more than three percent (3%) apart, then the two brokers
shall pick a third broker within ten (10) days after the two brokers have rendered their opinions of Fair Market Rent as provided above. If the two 

  
 4 

 
brokers are unable to agree on the third broker within said ten (10) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the third broker within ten (10) days thereafter. If the
parties do not agree on a third qualified broker within ten (10) days, then at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, such third broker shall be promptly appointed by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County where the Building is located. The third broker shall be a person who has not previously acted in such capacity for either party and must meet the qualifications stated above. 

(e) Impartial Appraisal. Within thirty (30) days after its appointment, the third broker (the “Third Party”),
shall render its written opinion by selecting the Fair Market Rent made Landlord’s or Tenant’s broker to be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. The Third Party may not offer any different opinion or recommendation of Fair Market
Rent. The Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with the foregoing procedure shall be binding on the parties. 
 (f) Appraisal
Costs. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and one-half (1/2) the cost of the third appraiser, unless the Fair Market Rent of the Third Opinion is within five percent (5%) Landlord’s FMR, in which case Tenant shall
bear the entire cost of the third appraiser. After the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period has been established in accordance with the foregoing procedure, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease to reflect the
minimum monthly rent for the Extension Period. 
 (g) Personal Option. The foregoing option to extend is personal to OXiGENE, Inc.
(and any assignee that is an Affiliate), but may not be assigned or transferred to or exercised by any other assignee, sublessee or transferee. 
 8.
MISCELLANEOUS 
 (a) As amended hereby, the Existing Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. In the event
of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Amendment and the Existing Lease, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail. 
 (b) Tenant
represents and warrants to Landlord that neither it nor its officers or agents nor anyone acting on its behalf has dealt with any real estate broker or finder in the negotiating or making of this Amendment, other than Cassidy/Turley. Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any claim or claims, and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in conjunction with any claim or claims of any other broker or brokers to a commission in connection
with this Amendment as a result of the actions of Tenant or its officers, agents or anyone acting on its behalf. 
 (c) This Amendment shall
bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective legal representatives and successors and assigns. 
 (d) This
Amendment may be executed in counterparts each of which counterparts when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 (e)
The preparation and submission of a draft of this Amendment by either party to the other shall not constitute an offer, nor shall either party be bound to any terms of this 

  
 5 

 
Amendment or the entirety of the Amendment itself until both parties have fully executed a final document and an original signature document has been received by both parties. Until such time as
described in the previous sentence, either party is free to terminate negotiations with no obligation to the other. 
 (f) Except as set
forth in this Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Existing Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

 EXHIBIT 10.1 

AMENDED AND RESTATED SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 

This Amended and Restated Severance Agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective as of May 31, 2013 (the “Effective
Date”) between Kevin G. Lafond (“Employee”) and ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), collectively referred to as the “Parties.” 

WHEREAS, the Employee is employed by the Company in the position of Controller pursuant to an employment offer letter dated February 6,
2009 (the “Offer Letter”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company previously entered into a Severance Agreement with Employee effective as of
May 18, 2009 (the “Prior Agreement”) which, among other things, provided Employee with severance benefits in the event Employee’s employment with the Company was terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below); and

 WHEREAS, in connection with the promotion of Employee to the position of Vice President of Finance, the Company now wishes to amend and
restate the Prior Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, Employee and the Company hereby agree as follows: 

1. Employment. Employee is employed by the Company on an at-will basis meaning that either party may terminate the relationship at any
time, with or without cause, and without providing a reason for such termination. 
 2. Termination of Employment. 

a. Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate the employment of Employee at any time for Cause (such termination
being herein called a “Termination for Cause”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean: (i) Employee’s willful or negligent failure, disregard or refusal to perform his or her duties of employment;
(ii) any act by Employee that in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has the effect of injuring the business or reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates, including but not limited to, any officer, director,
executive or shareholder of the Company or any of its affiliates; (iii) Employee’s misconduct in respect of his or her duties or obligations, including, without limitation, insubordination with respect to lawful directions received by
Employee from the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or such other executive officer to whom Employee may report); (iv) Employee’s indictment of any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude (including entry of a nolo
contendere plea); (v) the determination by the Company after a reasonable and good faith investigation by the Company following a written allegation by another employee of the Company, that Employee engaged in some form of harassment prohibited
by law (including, without limitation, harassment that constitutes age, sex or race discrimination); (vi) any misappropriation or embezzlement of the property of the Company or its affiliates (whether or not constituting a misdemeanor or
felony); (vii) Employee’s breach of any of the provisions of the Company’s Invention, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; or
(viii) Employee’s breach of any provision of this Agreement, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 

b. Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment for any legal reason at any time,
without notice. 
 3. Effect of Termination. 

a. Termination by the Company Without Cause. If Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, and other
than by reason of retirement, death or disability, (i) the Company shall pay to Employee his or her accrued base salary through the date of Employee’s termination, and (ii) a severance amount, payable in a single lump sum, equal to
six (6) months of Employee’s annualized base salary at the time of termination (excluding any benefits or bonuses) (the “Severance”). The Severance shall only be payable if Employee signs a general release with the Company, which
release must be concluded and executed on or before the date that is two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which Employee’s “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended) occurs, whereby Employee shall release the Company from any and all potential liabilities arising out of Employee’s employment with, or termination from employment with, the Company, and which release shall be in form
satisfactory to the Company. 
 b. Termination by the Company for Cause. Upon the termination of Employee’s
employment pursuant to a Termination for Cause, Employee will be entitled to receive only Employee’s accrued base salary through the date of Employee’s termination. If Employee is terminated for Cause, he or she will not be entitled to any
Severance under Section 3(a) of this Agreement. 

 c. Voluntary Termination. If the Employee voluntarily terminates his or
her employment with the Company, for any reason, Employee will be entitled to receive his or her base salary through the date of Employee’s termination. If Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company, for any reason, Employee
will not be entitled to any Severance under Section 3(a) of this Agreement. If the Company receives notice from the Employee of his or her intent to terminate employment with the Company and the Company elects to immediately end the employment
relationship, Employee will not be entitled to any Severance under Section 3(a) of this Agreement. 
 d. Death or
Disability of Executive. If Employee dies or becomes disabled during the term of this Agreement, Employee will be entitled to receive Employee’s accrued base salary through the date of Employee’s termination. If Employee’s
employment is terminated due to death or disability, Employee will not be entitled to any Severance under Section 3(a) of this Agreement. 

4. Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the Offer Letter contain the entire understanding of the parties with regard to all matters
contained herein. There are no other agreements, conditions or representations, oral or written, expressed or implied relating to such matters, including, without the limitation, the Prior Agreement, which is expressly superseded and replaced in its
entirety by this Agreement. 
 5. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties
and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives and any entity with which the Company may merge or consolidate or to which the Company may sell substantially all of its assets, provided that this Agreement may not be
assigned by Employee. 
 6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, applying to contracts fully executed and performed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
 7. Section Headings;
Gender; Number. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and will not affect its interpretation. Words used herein, regardless of the number and gender specifically used, will be deemed
and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context requires. 

The Parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the Effective Date.
