The Company leased additional space at this location starting with the third quarter of 2017. The executive officer resigned during 2019. The Company paid $2.6 million, $2.2 million, and $2.1 million with respect to these leases, excluding certain pass-through expenses for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
