NOTE 7  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases Inspyr currently does not have any ongoing leases for office space. It has availability to office space on an as needed basis. Its employees work on a remote basis. There was no rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Legal Matters On March 16, 2016, Dr. Craig Dionne provided us his notice of termination as the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Dr. Dionne's notice of termination states that such termination was for "Good Reason" as a result of a material change in his authority, functions, duties and responsibilities as chief executive officer. In the event that termination was for "Good Reason", Dr. Dionne would be entitled to certain severance payments as well as other benefits. The notice of termination, in additional to requesting such severance, also requests the payment of Dr. Dionne's annual and long term bonus for 2014 and 2015. On April 11, 2016, we received a letter from Dr. Dionne demanding approximately $2.3 million as a result of the foregoing. While the Company disputes that the termination was for "Good Reason," as well as the amount of the bonuses due Dr. Dionne, if any, at this time the Company is unable to predict the financial outcome of this matter, and any views formed as to the viability of these claims or the financial liability which could result may change from time to time as the matter proceeds through its course. The Company is uncertain whether any litigation may result from the foregoing and the outcome of any such litigation is uncertain. The Company is subject at times to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
