13. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under operating and capital lease agreements. Excluding the outstanding lease commitment assumed by the buyer of the Scientific Lasers business and the leases acquired as part of the JADAK acquisition, there have been no material changes to the Company’s leases from those discussed in Note 16 to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Scientific Lasers facility lease commitment as of the disposal date was $3.0 million which was assigned to the buyer. In May 2014, JADAK moved into a new facility which was recorded as a capital lease. The current and long-term portions of the capital lease have been included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under the operating and capital leases for JADAK are as follows (in thousands):

Purchase Commitments

Excluding JADAK’s purchase commitments, there have been no material changes to the Company’s purchase commitments from those discussed in Note 16 to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of September 26, 2014, JADAK had unconditional commitments primarily for inventory purchases of $5.1 million. These purchase commitments are expected to be incurred as follows: $3.3 million in the remainder of 2014, and $1.8 million in 2015.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims, or any similar claims, would not have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of its operations, the Company executes agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to counterparties in transactions such as business dispositions, sale of assets, sale of products and operating leases. Additionally, the by-laws of the Company require it to indemnify certain current or former directors, officers, and employees of the Company against expenses incurred by them in connection with each proceeding in which he or she is involved as a result of serving or having served in certain capacities. Indemnification is not available with respect to a proceeding as to which it has been adjudicated that the person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that the action was in the best interests of the Company. Certain of our officers and directors are also a party to an indemnification agreement with the Company. These indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that the director and officer shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such officer or director in connection with any proceeding by reason of his or her relationship with the Company. In addition, the indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by such director or officer in connection with any proceeding covered by the indemnification agreement, subject to the conditions set forth therein and to the extent such advancement is not prohibited by law. The indemnification agreements also set out the procedures for determining entitlement to indemnification, the requirements relating to notice and defense of claims for which indemnification is sought, the procedures for enforcement of indemnification rights, the limitations on and exclusions from indemnification, and the minimum levels of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to be maintained by the Company.
