NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Gain on Settlement of Insurance Claim In December 2017, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with the Company’s professional employer organization (“PEO”) and the PEO’s employment practices liability insurer related to the Company’s claim for reimbursement of legal fees that it had incurred in defending a lawsuit brought by a former employee. In the agreement, the insurer agreed to pay $400 to the Company in settlement of its claim, with the payment to be made within 14 days after the agreement’s effective date. Under ASC450-30, Gain Contingencies, a gain contingency should be recognized when realization is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. As such, since the settlement payment was subsequently collected in full in January 2018, the Company recorded the gain as a credit to general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2017. Employment Agreements In March 2017, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Chad Steelberg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company paid Mr. Steelberg’s salary by issuance of common stock at the end of each calendar quarter during the term of the agreement (following March 31, 2017). The number of shares of common stock issued at the end of each quarter was determined by dividing $125 by the fair market value (as defined in the agreement) of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Mr. Steelberg received 17,807 shares of common stock pursuant to this agreement. In March 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and Mr. Steelberg agreed to amend the compensation terms of his employment agreement to provide that Mr. Steelberg will earn a base salary of $250 payable in cash, and Mr. Steelberg’s compensation no longer includes the issuance of common stock each quarter. Leases The Company leases facilities under operating lease arrangements expiring at various years through fiscal 2024.

Rent expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of December 31, 2018, future minimum lease payments were as follows:
The total rent expense for all operating leases was $2,134 and $866 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other Contingencies From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business.
