Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases its office facilities, located in Concord, California and Amersfoort, the Netherlands, and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one year that require the Company to pay operating costs, property taxes, insurance and maintenance. The operating leases expire at various dates through 2020, with certain of the leases providing for renewal options, provisions for adjusting future lease payments based on the consumer price index, and the right to terminate the lease early. The Company’s leased facilities qualify as operating leases under ASC Topic 840, “Leases” and as such, are not included on its consolidated balance sheets.

Future minimum non-cancelable lease payments under operating leases as of December 31, 2015, are as follows (in thousands):


Year ended December 31,
2016	$	1,111
2017		1,016
2018		729
2019		620
2020		14

Total minimum non-cancellable lease payments	$	3,490

Rent expense for office facilities was $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Financed Leasehold Improvements

In 2010, the Company financed $1.1 million of leasehold improvements. The Company pays for the financed leasehold improvements as a component of rent and is required to reimburse its landlord over the remaining life of the respective leases. At December 31, 2015, the Company had an outstanding liability of $0.5 million related to these leasehold improvements, of which $0.1 million was reflected in “Accrued liabilities” and $0.4 million was reflected in “Other non-current liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Purchase Commitments

The Company is party to agreements with certain providers for certain components of INTERCEPT Blood System which the Company purchases from third party manufacturers. Certain of these agreements require minimum purchase commitments from the Company. The Company has paid $7.7 million, $6.8 million and $6.5 million for goods under agreements which are subject to minimum purchase commitments during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has future minimum purchase commitments under these agreements of $8.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2016, and approximately $0.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2017.

In June 2014, the Company terminated its distribution agreement with one of its distributors in certain countries and entered into an agreement to provide for specific post-termination obligations (the “Transition Agreement”). The Transition Agreement expired September 30, 2014. The Company is required to pay this former distributor a fee of €10 per disposable kit for platelet systems sold by the Company to any customer in certain countries commencing with the termination of the agreement through April 1, 2018, subject to a maximum payment of €3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid approximately $0.5 million (€0.4 million) associated with this fee. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had accrued $0.1 million (€0.1 million) associated with this fee. As this former distributor remains as a customer in other countries, in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “Customer Payments and Incentives” any fees paid to the former distributor related to INTERCEPT disposable kits are offset against the revenue associated with the sale of INTERCEPT disposable kits in those territories.
