The Company has entered into lease agreements for office space and research facilities in San Diego, California, Rancho Santa Fe, California, Poway, California, Melbourne, Florida, Taipei, Taiwan, Shenzhen and Jiangsu, China, and Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, and for a manufacturing plant/facility in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The longest lease expires in June 2020. The Company moved into its facility in San Diego, California during the year ended December 31, 2014. The San Diego facility lease agreement included a tenant improvement allowance which provided for the landlord to pay for tenant improvements on behalf of the Company up to $515,000. Based on the terms of this landlord incentive and involvement of the Company in the construction process, the leasehold improvements purchased under the landlord incentive were determined to be property of the Company.
