COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

We lease our facilities and certain equipment under operating leases. During 2015, we extended our lease in San Jose, California. Certain of our leasing arrangements subject us to letter of credit requirements to provide a $2.4 million bank letter of credit as security to the landlord. In addition, certain of our leases require us to restore the facilities back to the original condition at the end of lease terms. As such, we recorded asset retirement obligations related to remediation costs as disclosed in Note 11 herein.

On June 28, 2016, we renegotiated the August 15, 2012 lease for our Singapore operations and entered into a new lease that will expire in June 2023.

In March 2013, we entered into an operating lease agreement for facilities in Waltham, Massachusetts, for sales, research and development activities. The lease for this facility expires in February 2018.

In August 2014, we entered into a thirty-six month capital lease agreement for equipment valued at $2.5 million. At the end of the lease term, we have an option to purchase the leased equipment for a bargain purchase price. Accordingly, this lease is classified as a capital lease. The amortization of these leased assets is included with depreciation expense. As of December 31, 2016, the total amortization of the leased equipment is $1.1 million.

In July 2015, we entered into a lease amendment for our facilities in San Jose, California. The lease amendment is to extend the building lease for five years and will expire in January 2021. We account for this lease as an operating lease; any improvements to the leased property are capitalized and classified as leasehold improvements.

The table below summarizes our capital and operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2016:

Our open purchase order commitments, which primarily relate to purchases of inventories and equipment, were approximately $16.6 million as of December 31, 2016.

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe any liability from any reasonably foreseeable disposition of such claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2016, there were no significant outstanding legal matters.
