Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Leases

The Company leases its administrative, research, and manufacturing facilities located in Irvine, California, Santa Rosa, California and an administrative office located in Rosmalen, The Netherlands. These facility lease agreements require the Company to pay operating costs, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance. In addition, the Company has certain equipment under long-term agreements that are accounted for as operating leases.

In conjunction with the TriVascular merger, the Company assumed the lease for TriVascular's facility in Santa Rosa, California. The facility is being used for manufacturing, research & development, and administrative purposes and consists of 110,000 square feet under an operating lease scheduled to expire in February 2018, which may be renewed for an additional 5 years, at the Company's option.

Future minimum payments by year under non-cancelable leases with initial terms in excess of one year were as follows as of March 31, 2016:



Remainder of 2016	$	2,815
2017	3,714
2018	2,622
2019	2,398
2020	2,505
2021 and thereafter	22,884
Total	$	36,938

Facilities rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

(b) Employment Agreements and Retention Plan

On February 1, 2014, the Company entered into new employment agreements with certain of its executive officers under which payment and benefits would become payable in the event of termination by the Company for any reason other than cause, death or disability or termination by the employee for good reason (collectively, an “Involuntary Termination”) prior to, upon or following a change in control of the Company. The severance payment will generally be in a range of six to eighteen months of the employee’s then current salary for an Involuntary Termination prior to a change in control of the Company, and will generally be in a range of eighteen to twenty-four months of the employee’s then current salary for an Involuntary Termination upon or following a change in control of the Company.

We are from time to time involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to a medical device business. These matters may include product liability, intellectual property, employment, and other general claims. Such cases and claims may raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances of each particular case or claim, the jurisdiction in which each suit is brought, and differences in applicable law. We accrue for contingent liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or as additional information becomes available.

LifePort Sciences LLC v. Endologix, Inc.

On December 28, 2012, LifePort Sciences, LLC ("LifePort") filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court, District of Delaware, alleging that certain of the Company's products infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 5,489,295, 5,676,696, 5,993,481, 6,117,167, 6,302,906, and 8,192,482, which were alleged to be owned by LifePort. On March 17, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement and Patent License Agreement with LifePort (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby LifePort granted the Company license rights to patents in exchange for a settlement of $4.7 million. The Settlement Agreement resolves this litigation and fully and finally releases the Company and LifePort from any claims arising out of or in connection with the litigation or the subject patents. The Settlement Agreement also contained a covenant not to sue for other patents owned by LifePort. However, since the subject patents were all expired and the Company was not currently using and has no plans to use the other patents owned by LifePort in products that could reach technological feasibility during the covenant not to sue period, there is no alternative future use and the full amount was recorded as settlement costs in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(d) Contract Termination

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company sent notice of termination to its certain distributors providing for the termination of the respective distribution agreements. In accordance with ASC No. 420 “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations”, the Company expensed distributor termination costs in the period in which the written notification of termination occurred. As a result, the Company incurred termination costs of $1.6 million. Such termination costs are included in contract termination and business acquisition expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
