COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases We lease approximately 9,255 square feet of space in Lancaster, California. The term of the lease extends to January 31, 2026 and the base rent is $16.7 thousand per month. The lease also allows us to opt out of the last 4 years of the lease upon 180-day notice to the landlord with no penalty. We lease approximately 12,623 square feet of office space in Buffalo, New York. The initial five-year term expired in October 2018 and was renewed for a three-year option extending it to November 2021. The new base rent is $16 thousand per month. We lease approximately 2,700 square feet of office space in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The initial three-year term was due to expire October 2020. An amendment to the initial lease became effective April 1, 2020, which added 686 square feet and extended the term of the lease to September 30, 2023. The new base rent is approximately $8 thousand per month with an annual 3% adjustment. We lease approximately 2,300 square feet of office space in Paris, France, which as of April 1, 2020, had minimum payments equaling $288 thousand. The lease is for a 9-year term, with an option to terminate every 3 years, and expires in November of 2024. The rent is approximately $16 thousand per quarter (approximately $5.3 thousand per month) and can be adjusted each December based on a consumer price index. Rent expense, including common area maintenance fees for the three months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 was $167 thousand and $168 thousand, respectively, and $499 thousand and $463 thousand for the nine months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Line of Credit On March 31, 2020, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Credit Agreement provides us with a credit facility of $3.5 million through April 15, 2022. As of May 31, 2021, there were no amounts drawn against the line of credit. Employment Agreements In the normal course of business, we have entered into employment agreements with certain of our key management personnel that may require compensation payments upon termination. License Agreement We had a royalty agreement with Dassault Systèmes Americas Corp. for access to their Metabolite Database for developing our Metabolite Module within ADMET Predictor™. The module was renamed the Metabolism Module when we released ADMET Predictor version 6 on April 19, 2012. Under this agreement, we paid a royalty of 25% of revenue derived from the sale of the Metabolism/Metabolite module. This agreement was renegotiated, and we do not bear any royalty obligations towards Dassault Systèmes Americas Corp. effective as of June 30, 2019. In addition, the license agreement terminated on September 5, 2020. We have not experienced any adverse impact on revenue since terminating the license agreement. We are in the process of developing a database to replace the Metabolite Database, which is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2021. Income Taxes We follow guidance issued by the FASB with regard to our accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. Such guidance prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to income tax expense. We file income tax returns with the IRS and various state jurisdictions as well as with the countries of India and France. Our federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2017 through 2019 are open for audit, and our state tax returns for fiscal years 2017 through 2019 remain open for audit. Our review of prior year tax positions using the criteria and provisions presented in guidance issued by FASB did not result in a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Legal Proceedings We may be subject to litigation, claims, investigations, and audits arising from time to time in the ordinary course of our business; however, at this time, we are not a party to any legal proceedings and are not aware of any pending, threatened, or unasserted legal proceedings of any kind.
