Operating Lease Agreements

 

On May 23, 2011, the Company executed a non-cancelable operating lease for corporate office space which began on June 1, 2011 and expires on March 30, 2015.  Total base rent due during the term of the lease is $973,595.  Monthly rent escalates during the term, but is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  The Company can terminate the final five months of the lease with eight months prior notice and the payment of unamortized costs.  Rent expense under this lease for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $253,982.

 

During 2012, the Company entered into three separate two-year lease agreements with HP for equipment and certain other assets. During 2013, the Company entered into two additional two-year lease agreements with HP for equipment and certain financed items. Monthly rent expense was $23,248 until September 2014. Rent expense under the HP lease agreements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $247,505 and $217,726, respectively.

 

During 2013, the Company entered into a two-year service agreement with Equinix Operating Co., Inc. (“Equinix”) whereby Equinix agreed to provide certain products and services to the Company from January 2013 to January 2015.  Pursuant to the service agreement, the Company agreed to pay monthly recurring fees in the amount of $8,450 and certain nonrecurring fees in the amount of $9,700.  The agreement automatically renews for additional twelve month terms unless earlier terminated by either party.  Hosting expense under this lease totaled $177,110 for the year ended December 31, 2014.
