Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

On July 18, 2011, athenahealth, Inc. filed a complaint against ADP AdvancedMD, Inc. (“ADP AdvancedMD”), a subsidiary of the Company. The complaint alleges that ADP AdvancedMD’s activities in providing medical practice management and billing and revenue management software and associated services to physicians and medical practice managers infringe two patents owned by athenahealth, Inc. The complaint seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, and costs. In October 2014, ADP AdvancedMD and athenahealth, Inc. entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle this claim and resolve all allegations which were brought against ADP AdvancedMD. The memorandum of understanding contemplates that the parties will jointly move to dismiss this lawsuit. The terms of the memorandum of understanding will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In June 2011, the Company received a Commissioner’s Charge from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) alleging that the Company has violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by refusing to recruit, hire, transfer and promote certain persons on the basis of their race, in the State of Illinois from at least the period of January 1, 2007 to the present.  The Company continues to investigate the allegations set forth in the Commissioner’s Charge and is cooperating with the EEOC’s investigation.

The Company is subject to various claims and litigation in the normal course of business. When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records a liability in the amount of its best estimate for the ultimate loss. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of reasonably possible loss, with respect to the matters described above. This is primarily because these matters involve complex issues subject to inherent uncertainty. There can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved in a manner that is not adverse to the Company.

It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company’s services and products.  The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.

As a result of the CDK spin-off, the Company's obligations decreased from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 as these obligations are assumed by CDK. The minimum commitments related to CDK on June 30, 2014 for various facilities and equipment leases and software license agreements were as follows:
