Leases – The Company leases retail stores, distribution and office facilities and certain equipment. Original non-cancelable lease terms range from three to ten years and leases generally contain renewal options for additional years. A number of the Company’s store leases provide for contingent rental payments based upon sales. Contingent rent amounts were insignificant in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015. Total rent expense under operating leases was $49,685 and $43,743 for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015, respectively. Total rent expense under operating leases was $98,844 and $88,301 for 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015, respectively.

General litigation – The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business, including three putative employment class action lawsuits in California, each of which has tentatively settled and is in the process of obtaining approval from the court involved. In the opinion of management, the amount of any liability with respect to these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.
