Administrative Services

One of the Company's subsidiaries rents office space belonging to a company in which a former member of such subsidiary's management had an ownership interest. The former management sold his interest in the office during the third quarter of 2015. There were no unpaid lease liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company recognized rent expense of $60,000 and $180,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company no longer has a related party relationship with this former employee and former building owner.

Office Lease Agreement with Employee

In connection with the acquisition of PMG, the Company acquired an office lease that is currently being occupied and used as part of operations in Irvine, California. This building is majority owned by one of the founding members of PMG, who was an employee of the Company at September 30, 2015. The lease terminates on March 31, 2024. The total rental expense incurred during the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $0.1 million.

PMG Post-Closing Payment
    
In connection with the Company's purchase of substantially all of the assets of PMG in June 2013, the Company agreed to a post-closing payment based on the fulfillment of certain post-closing employment obligations by certain PMG executives (the "PMG Earn Out"), which the Company is required to account for as compensation to the sellers and is recognized as an expense, over the requisite service period. In June 2014, the Company modified the PMG Earn Out to waive the PMG Earn Out and certain other purchase obligations and PMG seller rights in exchange for cash consideration of $2.5 million (the “Additional PMG Consideration”). Fifty percent of the additional PMG Consideration was payable after 10 days from closing, and the remaining $1.25 million was payable in four quarterly installments through the first half of 2015. At December 31, 2014, the remaining outstanding balance was approximately $0.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company further modified the PMG Earn Out to accelerate the payment of the remaining payment. As the PMG Earn Out was settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there was no outstanding balance on the PMG Earn Out as of September 30, 2015.

AIA Noncontrolling Interests Acquisition
    
In April 2014, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding shares in AIA for a total cash consideration of approximately $21.7 million (the "AIA Consideration"). Included in the AIA Consideration was approximately $2.5 million owed to BF Ventures, an entity in which one of our directors owns an indirect stake of approximately 25%, which was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2014.

AIA Earn-Out

The Company recognized an expense of $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of the remeasurement of the fair value of the earn-out liability acquired in the AIA stock acquisition. The earn-out was payable to certain employees of EIM, a wholly owned subsidiary. At December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance relating to the earn-out liability was $1.7 million. The earn-out liability was paid and fully settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, there was no outstanding balance.
