13. Commitments and Contingencies

We lease corporate office space in Frisco, Texas under a 60 month, non-cancelable operating lease. The lease expires in September 2015. Additionally, we lease corporate office space in Scottsdale, Arizona under a 66 month, non-cancelable operating lease, which we fully reserved in 2013 during the restructuring and relocating of our Earth911 and YouChange operations. The lease expires in March 2017 and provides for a renewal option of 60 months. Lease expense totaled $271,383 and $287,806 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following is a schedule, by year, of future minimum rental payments required under the operating lease agreement as of December 31, 2013:

Our operating lease agreement contains a provision that abate rent payments for a period of five months. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is charged to accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.

Indemnifications

During the normal course of business, we make certain indemnities and commitments under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These may include (i) intellectual property indemnities to customers in connection with the use, sales, and/or license of products and services; (ii) indemnities to customers in connection with losses incurred while performing services on their premises; (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on negligence or willful misconduct; and (iv) indemnities involving the representations and warranties in certain contracts. In addition, under our bylaws we are committed to our directors and officers for providing for payments upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. The majority of these indemnities and commitments do not provide for any limitation on the maximum potential for future payments that we could be obligated to make. We have not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.
