NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. As of the date of this Report, we are not currently involved in any material actual or pending legal proceedings.

Operating Leases

We lease certain offices, facilities, equipment and vehicles under non-cancellable operating and capital leases expiring at various dates through 2016.

Letters of Credit

Certain of our customers could require us to issue a standby letter of credit (“LC”) in the ordinary course of business to ensure performance under terms of a contract and with associated vendors and sub-contractors.  In the event of a performance default, the creditor could demand payment from the issuing bank for the amount of the LC. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we used the credit agreement with Whitney to issue an irrevocable transferable standby LC in the amount of $1,107.  This LC was issued with a commission rate of 2.4 percent per annum and expires on August 31, 2011.  We paid the annual commission in advance during fiscal 2010.
