Commitments and Contingencies
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are the subject of threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting our business. We provide for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict the future outcome of such matters, we believe that the ultimate resolution of such individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For certain types of claims, we maintain insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage and other liability coverages in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are prudent, but there can be no assurance that these coverages will be applicable or adequate to cover adverse outcomes of claims or legal proceedings against us.

On December 22, 2014, a former employee filed a lawsuit against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego alleging wrongful termination and other claims related to his employment with us. We subsequently removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. On May 1, 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiff, which assigns no culpability to any party and provides for a payment by us in exchange for full settlement and release of his claims. For a full discussion of the lawsuit and settlement agreement, please refer to Note 10, "Commitments and Contingencies," included under Item 8. of our 2015 Annual Report. At June 30, 2015, the total settlement amount had been paid to the plaintiff. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had approximately $330 thousand associated with this settlement included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption, "Selling, general, and administrative."

Leases

On March 28, 2016, we signed a 64 month non-cancellable lease for a larger office in New York, New York, replacing a previous month-to-month lease. The initial base rent is approximately $333 thousand annually, with an increase beginning in the 34th month, and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In connection with this lease agreement, we entered into a standby letter of credit agreement for approximately $342 thousand, and we have classified the same amount as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption "Cash and cash equivalents."

On April 19, 2016 we signed a 74 month non-cancellable lease commencing on May 1, 2016 for our executive offices and manufacturing facility located in Solon, Ohio. This lease consolidates and extends our prior lease agreements that were set to expire on April 30, 2017 and increases the total leased space to 116,592 square feet. The base rent is approximately $618 thousand annually, and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
