The Company’s corporate headquarters is located at 1787 Sentry Parkway West in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. Our corporate office in Blue Bell leased space for approximately 6,442 square feet and the lease expires on April 30, 2016. The lease was amended in February 2012 to extend the lease term for an additional year and increase the leased space by approximately 2,319 square feet. The lease will now run through June 30, 2017 for a total of approximately 8,761 square feet. The annual rent under the new lease terms was $122,000, $126,000 and $175,000 for the first, second and third year, respectively, and will be $180,000 for the fourth year, $184,000 for the fifth year, $188,000 for the sixth year and $193,000 for the seventh year. At the end of the lease term, the Company has the option of renewing this lease for an additional three-year lease term at an annual rate equal to the fair market rental value of the property, as defined in the lease agreement.
The corporate office in San Diego is located at 11494 Sorrento Valley Road in San Diego, California. This lease was amended in December 2010 to include approximately 13,000 square feet and runs through August 31, 2013. The annual rent based on the new lease terms was $221,000 and $255,000 in the first and second years and will be $184,000 for the partial third year. At the end of the lease term, the Company has the option of renewing this lease for an additional five-year lease term at an annual rate equal to the fair market rental value of the property, as defined in the lease agreement.
During 2010 the Company consolidated operations previously performed in The Woodlands, Texas to its Blue Bell and San Diego locations. As a result, in November 2010 the Company transferred its facility lease in The Woodlands, Texas to a wholly-owned subsidiary of its affiliated entity, VGX Int’l. The Company has no further obligations under the lease.
Rent expense was $444,000, $430,000, and $607,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This amount is net of sublease income of $0, $0 and $269,000, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which they may be obligated to indemnify the other party. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these types of agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these types of agreements have not had a material effect on our business, consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
