The Company has obligations under various facilities and equipment leases and software license agreements. Total expense under these agreements was approximately $270.2 million, $252.6 million, and $159.2 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, with minimum commitments at June 30, 2013 as follows:

In addition to fixed rentals, certain leases require payment of maintenance and real estate taxes and contain escalation provisions based on future adjustments in price indices.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company has purchase commitments of approximately $720.0 million, including a reinsurance premium with ACE American Insurance Company for the fiscal 2014 policy year, as well as obligations related to purchase and maintenance agreements on our software, equipment, and other assets, of which $349.1 million relates to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, $145.1 million relates to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 and the remaining $225.8 million relates to fiscal years ending June 30, 2016 through fiscal 2018.

On July 18, 2011, athenahealth, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against ADP AdvancedMD, Inc. ("ADP AdvancedMD"), a subsidiary of the Company, seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, and costs.  The allegations include a claim that ADP AdvancedMD's activities in providing medical practice management and billing and revenue management software and associated services to physicians and medical practice managers infringe a patent owned by athenahealth, Inc.  The parties are currently engaged in the discovery process.  The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and continues to vigorously defend itself against the allegations.

In June 2011, the Company received a Commissioner’s Charge from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) alleging that the Company has violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by refusing to recruit, hire, transfer and promote certain persons on the basis of their race, in the State of Illinois from at least the period of January 1, 2007 to the present.  The Company continues to investigate the allegations set forth in the Commissioner’s Charge and is cooperating with the EEOC’s investigation.

The Company is subject to various claims and litigation in the normal course of business. When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records a liability in the amount of its best estimate for the ultimate loss. At this time the Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of reasonably possible loss, with respect to the matters described above. This is primarily because these matters involve complex issues subject to inherent uncertainty. There can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved in a manner that is not adverse to the Company.

It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company’s services and products.  The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.
