COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

We lease office space, tower infrastructure locations, vehicles, certain manufacturing equipment and office equipment under operating lease arrangements expiring through fiscal 2026. Where operating leases contain escalation clauses, rent abatements, and/or concessions, such as rent holidays and landlord or tenant incentives or allowances, we apply them in the determination of straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Certain operating leases require the payment of real estate taxes or other occupancy costs, which may be subject to escalation. Following is our summary of future payments of operating lease commitments (in thousands):

2020	$	7,565
2021		6,386
2022		6,242
2023		6,199
2024		6,126
Thereafter		7,659
	$	40,177

Rent expense under operating leases was $9.7 million, $6.9 million and $7.0 million in fiscal years ended February 28, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
