Rent expense for fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $1.6 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
 
As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, we had cash deposits with financial institutions of $277,000 and $266,000, respectively, which were restricted as to use and represent funds segregated for pension payments in Germany. These balances are included in restricted cash on our balance sheets.
 
Bank of the West
 
On November 20, 2015, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks, whose agent is BOTW for a revolving line of credit of $125.0 million. All amounts owed under the credit agreement are due and payable on November 20, 2017. Borrowings may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time during the term of the credit agreement. The obligations are guaranteed by four of our subsidiaries. The loan is collateralized by a Contingent Collateral Agreement, under which the assets of the parent company and the four subsidiaries could be subject to security interests for the benefit of the banks in the event of a loan default. The credit agreement includes a letter of credit subfacility, under which the lenders agree to issue letters of credit of up to $10.0 million.
 
However, borrowing under this subfacility is limited to the extent of availability under the $125.0 million revolving line of credit. At March 31, 2016, the outstanding principal under the credit agreement was $80.0 million. See Note 8, “Borrowing and Installment Payment Arrangements” for further information regarding the terms of the credit agreement.
 
Selected Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)
 
The following table sets forth a summary of our unaudited quarterly operating results for each of the last eight quarters in the period ended March 31, 2016. We have derived this data from our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements that, in our opinion, have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the audited financial statements contained elsewhere in this report and include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods presented. These unaudited quarterly results should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The operating results in any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.
 
 
Other Commitments and Contingencies
 
On occasion, we provide limited indemnification to customers against intellectual property infringement claims related to our products. To date, we have not experienced significant activity or claims related to such indemnifications. We also provide in the normal course of business indemnification to our officers, directors and selected parties. We are unable to estimate any potential future liability, if any. Therefore, no liability for these indemnification agreements has been recorded as of March 31, 2016 and 2015.
