Our operating leases expire at various dates, with the latest maturing in 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded rent expense in the amount of $7.3 million. As a result of a subleasing arrangement that we have entered into, we are expecting approximately $1.0 million in sublease income through 2017.

Beginning January 1, 2015, the Company will no longer be subject to exclusivity obligations. Under the New Travelport GDS Service Agreement beginning in 2015, we are obligated to provide certain levels of volume over the contract period and may be subject to pay shortfall payments in certain cases if we fail to meet volume commitments. The agreement terminates on December 31, 2018.
In February 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Amadeus IT Group, S.A. to provide GDS services. This contract requires the Company to meet certain minimum annual booking requirements beginning in 2016 through the end of the contract at December 31, 2019.
