Commitments and Contingencies
Facility Lease
In January 2010, the Company entered into a non-cancelable facility lease (the "Lease") that requires monthly payments through January 2022. This facility is used for research, manufacturing, and administrative functions.
In February 2014, the Company extended the term of the Lease by thirty-six (36) months to January 2025. In May 2018, the Company further extended the term of the Lease for its existing facility by twenty-four (24) months to January 2027 and amended the lease to expand the existing premises by approximately nineteen thousand square feet, commencing on January 1, 2019. Under the terms of the amended lease agreements, the payments escalate over the term of the lease with the exception of a decrease in payments at the beginning of 2022. The Company recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the existing lease. Rent expense was $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $4.1 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
In November 2017, the Company entered into a non-cancelable equipment operating lease that requires sixty (60) equal monthly payments through October 2022. Lease payments total $0.2 million during the entire lease term.
As of September 30, 2018, the aggregate total future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

Other Milestone-Based Commitments
The Company has one remaining future milestone payment to List Laboratories of $2.0 million due and payable on the achievement of a certain regulatory milestone. The Company is also obligated to pay royalties to List Laboratories on future sales of botulinum toxin products.  
In June 2016, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Botulinum Toxin Research Associates, Inc., or BTRX (the "BTRX Purchase Agreement"). Under the BTRX Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all rights, title and interest in a portfolio of botulinum toxin-related patents and patent applications from BTRX and was granted the right of first negotiation and first refusal with respect to other botulinum toxin-related patents owned or controlled by BTRX. In exchange, the Company agreed to an upfront expenditure of $2.0 million of which $1.8 million was paid immediately, $0.1 million was paid in June 2017, and the remaining $0.1 million was paid in May 2018. The Company also has obligations to pay Botulinum Toxin Research Associates, Inc. (BTRX) up to $16.0 million upon the satisfaction of specified milestones relating to the Company’s product revenue, intellectual property, and clinical and regulatory events. As of September 30, 2018, a one-time intellectual property development milestone liability of $1.0 million has been recorded and included in accruals and other current liabilities.
In April 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with BioSentinel, Inc. to in-license their technology and expertise for research and development and manufacturing purposes. In addition to minimum quarterly use fees, the Company has a one-time future milestone payment of $0.3 million payable to BioSentinel, Inc. upon the achievement of regulatory approval.
Purchase Commitments
On March 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Technology Transfer, Validation and Commercial Fill/Finish Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) and Statement of Work ("SoW") with Ajinomoto Althea, Inc., a contract development and manufacturing organization (“Althea”). Under the Services Agreement, Althea has agreed, among other things, to provide the Company with a future source of commercial fill/finish services for the Company’s neuromodulator products. The Services Agreement has an initial term that will expire in 2024, unless terminated sooner by either party. In accordance with the Services Agreement, the Company will have minimum purchase obligations based on its production forecasts. Since inception of the Services Agreement through September 30, 2018, the Company has made non-refundable advanced payments of $1.9 million in accordance with the terms of this arrangement. The advanced payments are amortized and recorded to expenses over the period the services are rendered by Althea. The remaining services are cancellable at any time, with the Company required to pay costs incurred through the cancellation date.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. The Company expects that contingencies related to regulatory approval milestones will only become probable once such regulatory outcome is achieved. The Company is not subject to any known current pending legal matters or claims that would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Indemnification
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to its technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify them against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.
No amounts associated with such indemnifications have been recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
