Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Claims

The Company is involved in numerous legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause the Company to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, the Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Commitments

In April 2011, the Company entered into a new lease for operating space in Gaithersburg, Maryland, which will consolidate certain operations into a single location. Rent expense will be recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Aggregate rent expense over the 12-year, 8-month period will be approximately $43.8 million.
