On May 1, 2022, the Company commenced a lease agreement for approximately 35,913 square feet at 40675 Encyclopedia in Fremont, California.

The Company will pay a base monthly rent in the amount of $50,278 commencing on the first day of the fourth full month of the lease term. Base monthly rent will increase annually on May 1st of each year by 3%.

 

The Company accounted for the lease as an operating lease under ASC 842 using the bank loan interest rate in effect on May 1, 2022 at 5.0% to discount future lease payments. The lease term expires on July 31, 2029, with a one-time option to renew for a period of five years. The renewal period is not included in the measurement of the leases as the Company is not reasonably certain of exercising it.

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to disputes, claims, requests for indemnification and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Under the indemnification provisions of the Company’s customer agreements, the Company routinely agrees to indemnify and defend its customers against infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights arising from customers’ legal use of the Company’s products or services. The exposure to the Company under these indemnification provisions is generally limited to the total amount paid for the indemnified products. However, certain indemnification provisions potentially expose the Company to losses in excess of the aggregate amount received from the customer. To date, there have been no claims against the Company by its customers pertaining to such indemnification provisions, and no amounts have been recorded. The Company is currently not a party to any material legal proceedings.
