The Company received a tenant improvement allowance of $1,250,200, which was recorded as an increase in leasehold improvements and deferred rent to be amortized over the life of the lease.  The Company also received a one-year rent abatement, but the rent expense is being recorded on a straight-line basis.

 

The Company also leases office space in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California, New York, New York and Pittsford, New York, under leases that expire at various dates through 2020.

 

In addition, the Company leases office space in London, England under a lease agreement that expires in August 2016; in Dubai, UAE under a lease agreement that expires in August 2015; and in Singapore under a lease that expires in September 2015.
