The temporary offices are expected to be occupied until August 15, 2012 at a rental rate of approximately $8,000 per month. The current rental agreement is on a month-to-month basis. In May 2012, the Company signed a lease for new office space for its corporate headquarters, and expects to move to its new location in August 2012. The rental cost will be approximately $13,000 per month.

The Company’s research facility in Madison, Wisconsin is leased through February 28, 2019.

Other monthly rental expenses include common area maintenance and real estate taxes totaling approximately $13,000 per month.
