- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation
 
From time to time the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business operations. Such litigation primarily involves claims for personal injury, property damage, breach of contract and claims involving employee relations and certain administrative proceedings. Based on current information, we believe that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigation, in the aggregate, will
not
have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and liquidity.
  
Leases
 
We have operating leases for certain factory, warehouse, office space, and machinery and equipment. Certain leases provide for payment of real estate taxes, common area maintenance, insurance and certain other expenses. Lease terms
may
have escalating rent provisions and rent holidays that are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and expire at various dates through
2028.
Certain rent expenditures are made on a month-to-month basis as the underlying operating lease has expired. Total rental expense for operating leases was
$1,299
and
$1,778
for the years ended
December 31, 2019
and
2018,
respectively.
 
The future minimum lease payments in the aggregate are as follows:

St. Petersburg Office Lease Agreement
 
On
April 7, 2015,
we entered into an Office Lease Agreement (the "Lease") for premises in St. Petersburg, Florida (the "Building"). The term of the Lease is for
twelve
years, commencing on
May 1, 2015
and ending on
April 30, 2027.
 
We initially leased the
fifth
floor of the Building (“Initial Premises”) and were required to expand the Initial Premises to include the
sixth
floor of the Building (“Expansion Premises”) between
February 1, 2016
and
October 31, 2016,
upon notice to the landlord and provided that the landlord is
not
obligated to deliver the Expansion Premises unless we then have a traded market capitalization of
$50,000
or more for the immediately preceding
thirty
days prior to the date of notice (“Market Cap Test”).
 
On
November 30, 2016,
both parties agreed to delay the planned improvements for the
6th
floor of the Building to allow us the opportunity to obtain potential subtenants. Additionally, both parties agreed that the Initial Premises rent commencement date occurred on
May 1, 2016,
the Expansion Premises commencement date occurred on
October 1, 2016
and our obligation to pay rent commenced on
October 1, 2016.
The aggregate amount of rent to be paid over the term of the Lease is
$4,466
for the Initial Premises. In the event that we lease the Expansion Premises, rent for the Expansion Premises will be paid at the same rental rate payable for the Initial Premises and, if leased by us at the earliest date available under the Lease, will result in additional payments of up to approximately
$4,552
over the term of the Lease.
 
The Lease required us to deposit a
$1,000
security deposit with the landlord, payable
July 1, 2015.
If on
May 1, 2018 (
or on any subsequent
May
1st
during the term of the Lease), we satisfy the Market Cap Test, the landlord is required to return the entire security deposit to the Company. On
April 30, 2015,
the Company and a current institutional investor and lender entered into a Reimbursement Agreement pursuant to which the investor agreed to arrange for and provide an unconditional, irrevocable, transferable, and negotiable commercial letter of credit to serve as the security deposit. (See also Subsequent Events in Note
13
).
 
On
November 30, 2016,
we entered into a sublease agreement for the
5th
floor of the Building with Powerchord, Inc. (“Subtenant”). The term commenced on
February 1, 2017
and expires on
June 30, 2022.
We granted an option to renew the Subleased Space for the period
July 1, 2022
through
April 29, 2027.
Subtenant will pay us an aggregate of
$2,005
over the term of the agreement and an aggregate of
$2,133
in the event of lease renewal. The subtenant has delivered an irrevocable Letter of Credit in the amount of
$100
to secure its performance under the Sublease Agreement. In the event Subtenant exercises its option for renewal, Subtenant must secure its performance under the renewed Sublease Agreement by delivering an amended Letter of Credit or a new letter of credit.
 
On
July 12, 2019,
we entered into a sublease agreement for the
6th
floor of the Building with Landmark Realty of St Petersburg LLC (“Subtenant”). The term commenced on
December 1, 2019
and expires on
May 30, 2027.
Subtenant will pay us an aggregate of
$3,030
over the term of the agreement.
 
Employee Agreements
 
We have entered into employment agreements with certain members of management. The terms of each agreement are different. However,
one
or all of these agreements include stipulated base salary, bonus potential, vacation benefits, severance and non-competition agreements.
 
 
Platinum Advisory Services LLC Agreement
 
On
December 27, 2017,
we entered into the Agreement for Equity in Exchange for Services with Platinum Advisory Services LLC (“Platinum”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we will issue from time to time shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate purchase price of
$3,000
in exchange for payment in-kind consisting of the provision of media support and services performed by Platinum or its affiliates.
 
On
June 6, 2018,
the Company issued
4,166,667
shares of common stock to Platinum Advisory Services, LLC in accordance with the terms of the Equity in Exchange for Services Agreement that the parties entered into on
December 27, 2017,
wherein the Company received, or will receive advertising services in exchange for the shares.
