COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Lease Commitments

We lease office space, tower infrastructure locations, vehicles, certain manufacturing equipment and office equipment under operating lease arrangements expiring through fiscal 2026. Where operating leases contain escalation clauses, rent abatements, and/or concessions, such as rent holidays and landlord or tenant incentives or allowances, we apply them in the determination of straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Certain operating leases require the payment of real estate taxes or other occupancy costs, which may be subject to escalation. Following is our summary of future payments of operating lease commitments (in thousands):

2019	$	6,477
2020		4,689
2021		2,556
2022		1,683
2023		1,296
Thereafter		2,272
	$	18,973

Rent expense under operating leases was $6.9 million, $7.0 million and $2.2 million in fiscal years ended February 28, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
