Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We are obligated under non-terminable operating leases for manufacturing facilities, finished good distribution, office space and equipment. Total rental expense on these operating leases and on our manufacturing and office building for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, approximated $8.1 million, $5.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

Sale-Leaseback. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we entered into sale and leaseback transactions to finance certain production equipment for $5.5 million. The lease agreements from the sale and leaseback transactions are accounted for as operating leases. Under the terms of the lease agreement, we will continue to operate and maintain the equipment. The lease term is seven years. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we entered into a sale and leaseback transaction with a third-party lessor for the sale and leaseback of our Pearland, Texas facility for $24.0 million. The lease agreement from this sale and leaseback transaction is accounted for as an operating lease. Under the terms of the lease agreement, we will continue to operate and maintain the building. The lease term is 19.8 years. Payments under the lease agreement are fixed. The lease agreement contains standard termination events, including termination upon a breach of our obligation to make rental payments and upon any other material breach of obligations under the lease, and standard maintenance and return condition provisions. Irish Government Development Agency Grants. As of December 31, 2014, we had entered into several grant agreements with the Irish Government Development Agency. We have recorded the grants related to research and development projects and costs of hiring and training employees as a reduction of operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 in the amounts of approximately $0, $1.2 million and $424,000, respectively. Grants related to the acquisition of property and equipment purchased in Ireland are amortized as a reduction to depreciation expense over lives corresponding to the depreciable lives of such property and equipment. The balance of deferred credits related to such grants as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, was approximately $2.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, approximately $175,000, $139,000 and $174,000, respectively, of the deferred credit was amortized as a reduction of operating expenses. We have committed to repay the Irish government for grants received if we cease production in Ireland prior to the expiration of the grant liability period. The grant liability period is usually between five and eight years from the last claim made on a grant. As of December 31, 2014, the total amount of grants that could be subject to refund was approximately $4.4 million, and the remaining grant liability period was four years. Our management does not currently believe we will have to repay any of these grant monies, as we have no current intention of ceasing operations in Ireland. Litigation. In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various claims and litigation matters. These claims and litigation matters may include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, contractual, and employment matters. We do not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs for these matters such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred.
