Leases
 
We lease our facilities under various non-cancelable operating leases, which expire through the year ending May 2025. Rent expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. Rent expense was $2.7 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Rent expense was $8.0 million and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
  
The aggregate future non-cancelable minimum rental payments on our operating leases as of September 30, 2014 is presented below (in thousands):

We are party to letters of credit totaling $1.5 million and $0.9 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 issued primarily in support of operating leases at several of our facilities. These letters of credit are collateralized by a line with our bank. No amounts have been drawn against these letters of credit.

Contract Manufacturer Commitments
 
Our independent contract manufacturers procure components and assemble our products based on our forecasts. These forecasts are based on estimates of future demand for our products, which are in turn based on historical trends and an analysis from our sales and product marketing organizations, adjusted for overall market conditions. In order to reduce manufacturing lead times and plan for adequate supply, we may issue forecasts and orders for components and products that are non-cancelable. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had non-cancellable open orders of $27.0 million and $16.7 million, respectively. We are required to record a liability for firm, noncancelable, and unconditional purchase commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers for quantities in excess of our future demand forecasts. To date we have not been required to accrue any costs for such noncancelable commitments.

Purchase Obligations
 
As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $9.1 million of non-cancellable firm purchase commitments primarily for purchases of software and services.
 

Litigation

We accrue for contingencies when we believe that a loss is probable and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss. We have made an assessment of the probability of incurring any such losses and whether or not those losses are estimable.

On June 20, 2014, a purported stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, against the Company, the members of our Board of Directors, our Chief Financial Officer, and the underwriters of our March 2014 follow-on public offering.  On July 17, 2014, a substantially similar lawsuit was filed in the same court against the same defendants. The complaints allege violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of a purported class consisting of purchasers of the Company's common stock pursuant or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus for the follow-on public offering, and seek unspecified compensatory damages and other relief.  The Company intends to defend the litigation vigorously.  Based on information currently available, the Company has determined that the amount of any possible loss or range of possible loss is not reasonably estimable.

We are also subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation, including intellectual property litigation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes and are not predictable with assurance.

To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be incurred and the amount of such additional loss would be material, we will either disclose the estimated additional loss or state that such an estimate cannot be made. We do not currently believe that it is reasonably possible that additional losses in connection with litigation arising in the ordinary course of business would be material.

Indemnification
 
Under the indemnification provisions of our standard sales related contracts, we agree to defend our customers against third-party claims asserting infringement of certain intellectual property rights, which may include patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets, and to pay judgments entered on such claims. Our exposure under these indemnification provisions is generally limited to the total amount paid by our customer under the agreement. However, certain agreements include indemnification provisions that could potentially expose us to losses in excess of the amount received under the agreement. In addition, we indemnify our officers, directors, and certain key employees for actions taken while they are or were serving in good faith in such capacities. Through September 30, 2014, there have been no claims under any indemnification provisions.
