11. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment Agreements We have employment agreements with certain of our executive officers. The agreements allow for annual compensation, participation in executive benefit plans, and performance-based cash bonuses. Incentive Plan On May 5, 2015, our stockholders approved the Paycom Software, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for payment of incentive compensation that is not subject to certain federal income tax deduction limitations. Participation in the Incentive Plan is limited to certain of our employees designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Funding Agreement In March 2010, we entered into a funding agreement with the Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust (the “Trust”) and the city of Oklahoma City. The Trust provided $2.0 million worth of certain public infrastructure improvements related to our newly constructed principal executive offices in northwest Oklahoma City. In exchange for the infrastructure improvements provided, we agreed to create at least 492 jobs over a five year period, with an average first year salary in excess of $37,000 and make a minimum capital investment in the project of at least $15 million. We further agreed that we would be responsible for repayment of any amount that was not offset by earned job creation payments. As of December 31, 2014, we had fulfilled our obligation for the job creation payments. Legal Proceedings On September 23, 2014, National Financial Partners Corp. (“NFP”) filed a complaint against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “District Court”) (Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-07424). The complaint alleged trademark infringement, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, consumer fraud and deceptive business practices related to the adoption and use of our logo and sought preliminary and permanent injunctions prohibiting us from using our logo as well as money damages, including an accounting for sales and profits, attorneys’ fees and disgorgement of profits. On June 25, 2015, we filed an offer of judgment seeking to resolve all pending claims between the parties and terminate the action with the payment of $20,000 by Paycom Payroll, LLC and an agreement to change our logo within 60 days. Our offer of judgment was accepted by NFP and the District Court entered a judgment pursuant to the offer of judgment on July 6, 2015, terminating the District Court action. We are involved in various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Operating Leases and Deferred Rent We lease office space under several noncancellable operating leases with contractual terms expiring from 2016 to 2021. Minimum rent expenses are recognized over the lease term. The lease term is defined as the fixed noncancellable term of the lease plus all periods, if any, for which failure to renew the lease imposes a penalty on us in an amount that a renewal appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured. When a lease contains a predetermined fixed escalation of the minimum rent, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis and record the difference between the recognized rent expense and the amount payable under the lease as a liability. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had $0.8 million recorded as a liability for deferred rent. Future annual minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more as of December 31, 2015 were as follows (in thousands):
Year Ending December 31, |  |  |  |
2016 |  | $ | 5,278 |
2017 |  |  | 5,097 |
2018 |  |  | 4,533 |
2019 |  |  | 3,586 |
2020 |  |  | 1,545 |
Thereafter |  |  | 274 |
Total minimum lease payments |  | $ | 20,313 |
Rent expense under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $4.4 million, $3.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
