11. Commitments and Contingencies

        On May 1, 2012, we entered into a commercial building lease agreement. The sixty month lease, which commenced on August 10, 2012, provides for the lease of approximately 6,000 square feet of space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Base annual rent is initially set at approximately $22,000 per month with an annual increase of 3%. From April 2011 through April 2012, we leased office space from a significant stockholder. There was no formal lease arrangement with the stockholder. In May 2012 we entered into a commercial building sublease agreement. The 24 month sublease, which commenced on August 26, 2013, provides for the lease of 1,900 square feet of space also in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Base rent is approximately $4 thousand per month with an annual increase of 3%.

        Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
