Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

5. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation related to employee claims, contractual disputes and taxes in the ordinary course of its business. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of such matters, currently the Company has no reason to believe the disposition of any current matter could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or the ability to carry on any of its business activities.

Certain of the Company's operating leases contain predetermined fixed escalations of minimum rentals during the original lease terms. For these leases, the Company recognizes the related rental expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and records the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts paid as accrued rent expense.

The Company leases office space and certain equipment under various operating lease agreements. The Company has the option to extend the term of certain lease agreements. Future minimum commitments under these lease agreements as of March 31, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

	Operating Leases
2016 remaining	$	4,739
2017		5,271
2018		3,867
2019		3,155
2020		2,762
Thereafter		2,078
Total minimum lease payments	$	21,872

Rent expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, was $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
