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, 2018, the Company has purchase commitments of approximately $576.3 million, including a reinsurance premium with Chubb for the fiscal 2019 policy year, as well as obligations related to software license agreements and purchase and maintenance agreements on our software, equipment, and other assets, of which $363.0 million relates to fiscal 2019, $113.6 million relates to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, and the remaining relates to fiscal years ending June 30, 2021 through fiscal 2023.

In June 2018, a potential class action complaint was filed against ADP in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.  The complaint asserts that ADP violated the Illinois Biometric Privacy Act, was negligent and unjustly enriched itself in connection with its collection, use and storage of biometric data of employees of its clients who are residents of Illinois in connection with certain services provided by ADP to clients in Illinois.  The complaint seeks statutory and other unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorney’s fees.  In addition, similar potential class action complaints have been filed in Illinois state courts against ADP and certain of its clients with respect to the collection, use and storage of biometric data of the employees of these clients.  All of these claims are still in their earliest stages and the Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to these matters.  The Company intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits.

In July 2016, Uniloc USA, Inc. and Uniloc Luxembourg, S.A. (“Uniloc”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "Court") alleging that Company products and services infringe four patents.  Uniloc alleged infringement of its patents concerning centralized management of application programs on a network, distribution of application programs to a target station on a network, management of configurable application programs on a network, and license use management on a network.  The complaint sought unspecified monetary damages, costs, and injunctive relief. On September 28, 2017, the Court granted ADP’s motion to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that all asserted claims of the four patents are invalid and dismissed the case with prejudice.

The Company has acquired a license to the four patents and a release for any potential past infringement liability.  Despite the Company being licensed and released, Uniloc appealed the Court's invalidity determination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Appeals Court”).  The Company moved to dismiss Uniloc's appeal; on August 2, 2018, the Appeals Court granted ADP’s motion, ending the lawsuit against ADP.
    
The Company is subject to various claims, litigation, and regulatory compliance matters 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. Management currently believes that the resolution of these claims, litigation and regulatory compliance matters against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future.

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.
