7.      Commitments and Contingencies


Acquisition Commitments


As of June 30, 2015, we were party to five agreements to complete pending acquisitions, pursuant to which we had paid an aggregate of approximately $7.0 million in deposits, from cash on hand, and were obligated to pay an additional aggregate of approximately $77.4 million. On July 1, 2015, we used cash on hand to complete these acquisitions. See Note 10, “Subsequent Events”.


Legal Proceedings and Claims


From time to time, we are or may become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of our business. In our opinion, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to known actions, will not materially affect our financial position. However, the outcome of any one or more matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and the unfavorable resolution of any matter could have a material adverse effect on us.
