Building Lease
The Company leases a combined research and development and office facility located in Mundelein, Illinois.  The facility is approximately 44,000 square feet.  On March 14, 2014, the Company extended the lease until May 2015 and the required monthly rental payments increased to $21,361, inclusive of property taxes.  Insurance and maintenance are billed when due.  If the Company wishes to remain at this facility beyond the lease expiration date, it will need to negotiate a new lease with the landlord, which cannot be assured.
