COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases We have various operating leases for production and office equipment, office space, and buildings under non-cancelable lease agreements expiring on various dates through 2022. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 amounted to approximately $1,271,000 and $1,153,000 respectively. Approximate future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases are as follows:
Years Ending December 31, |  | Amount |
2018 |  | $ | 888,000 |
2019 |  | 628,000 |
2020 |  | 382,000 |
2021 |  | 175,000 |
2022 |  | 143,000 |
Total |  | $ | 2,216,000 |
The above table does not reflect the subsequent lease agreement noted in Note 10. Litigation We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect our consolidated financial statements or results of operations. Executive Life Insurance Plan During 2002, we set up an Executive Bonus Life Insurance Plan (the Plan) for our key employees (participants). Pursuant to the Plan, we will pay a bonus to officer participants of 15% and a bonus to all other participants of 10% of the participants’ base annual salary, as well as an additional bonus to cover federal and state taxes incurred by the participants. The participants are required to purchase life insurance and retain ownership of the life insurance policy once it is purchased. The Plan provides a five-year graded vesting schedule in which the participants vest at a rate of 20% each year. Should a participant terminate employment prior to the fifth year of vesting, that participant may be required to reimburse us for any unvested amounts, under certain circumstances. Expenses under the Plan were $207,000 and $327,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. On December 13, 2017, the Plan was terminated. Change of Control Agreements Since 2002, we entered into Change of Control Agreements (the Agreement(s)) with certain key executives (the Executive(s)). The Agreements provide an inducement for each Executive to remain as an employee in the event of any proposed or anticipated change of control in the organization, including facilitating an orderly transition, and to provide economic security for the Executive after a change in control has occurred. In the event of an involuntarily termination in connection with a change of control as defined in the agreements, each Executive would receive their base salary, annual bonus at time of termination, and continued participation in health, disability and life insurance plans for a period of three years for officers and two years for all other participants. Participants would also receive professional outplacement services up to $10,000, if applicable. Each Agreement remains in full force until the Executive terminates employment or we terminate the employment of the Executive. Stock Repurchase Plan As of December 31, 2017, we had a $250,000 share repurchase program which was authorized by our Board of Directors in August 2017. Under this repurchase program, we repurchased 8,581 shares in open market transactions totaling $30,340, during the year ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, we had a $219,659 authorized balance remaining under this share repurchase program. The par value of repurchased shares is deducted from common stock and the excess repurchase price over par value is deducted from additional paid-in capital.
