        We formerly leased space to an affiliated company, Schooner Capital LLC ("Schooner"), for its corporate headquarters located in Boston, Massachusetts until February 6, 2014. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, Schooner paid rent to us totaling $188, $196 and $194, respectively. One of the members of our board of directors and several of his family members held an indirect equity interest in one of the stockholders that received proceeds in connection with the acquisition of our joint venture in Poland. As a result of this equity interest, such board member, together with several of his family members, received approximately 24% of the purchase price that we paid in connection with this transaction. See Note 6.

        Paul F. Deninger, one of our directors, is a senior managing director at Evercore Group L.L.C. ("Evercore"). In May 2013, we entered into an agreement with Evercore, which was amended and restated in August 2013 (the "Evercore Engagement"), pursuant to which Evercore agreed to provide financial advisory services to us in exchange for an aggregate fee of up to $3,000 (the "Engagement Fees"). In connection with the Evercore Engagement, Mr. Deninger agreed, and Evercore represented, that Mr. Deninger would not be involved with the Evercore Engagement and would not receive any fees or direct compensation in connection with the Evercore Engagement. The Evercore Engagement was approved by the audit committee of our board of directors in accordance with our Related Persons Transaction Policy. As of December 31, 2013, we have incurred $2,750 of fees associated with the Evercore Engagement, including fees associated with the amendment of our Credit Agreement in August 2013 and discounts and commissions attributable to Evercore's participation as one of the underwriters in the August 2013 Offerings, as well as monthly retention fees.
