Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease Commitments
Our corporate headquarters is located in San Francisco, California and consists of approximately 141,000 square feet of space under lease agreements that mostly expire in June 2022. Under these lease agreements, we have an option to extend nearly all of the space under the leases for five years. We have additional leased office space of approximately 20,000 square feet in Westborough, Massachusetts under a lease agreement that expires in January 2020.

Total facilities rental expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Minimum lease payments for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. As part of these lease agreements, as of March 31, 2015 we have pledged $0.6 million of cash and arranged for a $0.2 million letter of credit as security deposits.
Loan Funding and Purchase Commitments
For loans listed on the platform as a result of direct marketing efforts, we have committed to invest in such loans if investors do not provide funding for all or a portion of such loans. At March 31, 2015, there were 192 such loans on the platform with an unfunded balance of $1.9 million. All of these loans were fully funded by investors by April 3, 2015.

In connection with transitional activities related to the acquisition of Springstone, in June 2014, we entered into a contingent loan purchase agreement with an issuing bank that originates loans facilitated by Springstone and a third-party investor that has agreed to purchase certain of these loans from the issuing bank. In March 2015, this purchase agreement was extended to January 2016. The contingent loan purchase commitment provides that we will purchase such loans from the bank if the third-party investor defaults on its loan purchase obligations to the bank through January 2016. The remaining limit of this contingent loan purchase commitment was $53.9 million at March 31, 2015. We were not required to purchase any such loans pursuant to the contingent loan purchase commitment during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Credit Support Agreement
We are subject to a credit support agreement with a certificate investor. The credit support agreement requires us to pledge and restrict cash in support of its contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for credit losses on loans underlying the investor’s certificate that are in excess of a specified, aggregate loss threshold. We are contingently obligated to pledge cash, not to exceed $5.0 million, to support this contingent obligation. As of March 31, 2015, approximately $3.4 million was pledged and restricted to support this contingent obligation.
As of March 31, 2015, the credit losses pertaining to the investor’s certificates have not exceeded the specified threshold, nor are future credit losses expected to exceed the specified threshold, and thus no liability has been recorded. We currently do not anticipate recording losses under this credit support agreement. If losses related to the credit support agreement are later determined to be likely to occur and are estimable, results of operations could be affected in the period in which such losses are recorded.
Loan Purchase Obligation
Under our loan account program with WebBank, our primary issuing bank, WebBank retains ownership of the loans facilitated through our marketplace for two business days after origination. As part of this arrangement, we have committed to purchase the loans at par plus accrued interest, at the conclusion of the two business days. As of March 31, 2015 we were committed to purchase loans with an outstanding principal balance of $3.6 million at par plus accrued interest.
Legal
On June 5, 2014, Springstone received a Civil Investigative Demand from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, referred to as CFPB, related to the period from 2009 through May 2014. The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether Springstone engaged in unlawful acts or practices in connection with the marketing, issuance, and servicing of loans for healthcare related financing during the period. We have had and continue to hold discussions with the CFPB staff regarding the possible resolution of this matter.

In addition to the foregoing, we may be subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe it is probable that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
