9.  Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is currently involved in various legal proceedings pertaining to its intellectual property. In all such proceedings the Company has retained the services of various outside counsel under contingency fee arrangements that require the Company to only pay for certain non-contingent costs, such as services for expert consultants and travel, prior to a final verdict or settlement of the respective underlying proceeding. As of August 15, 2011 there have been no material developments in its legal proceedings as described in the Company’s 2010 10-K Report.
 
During April 2011, the Company signed a one-year extension on the lease for its Santa Cruz, California corporate headquarters facility. Under such extension, which lease will commence in August 2011 upon the expiration of the current lease, the monthly rent for the facility will be approximately $4,100. During June 2011, the Company received notice from the County of Santa Cruz (the “County”) that it intends to purchase the corporate office complex from the Company’s landlord. Under certain statutes that enable the County to make the purchase, the Company could be required to vacate its office space within 90 days of receiving notice from the County that it will be terminating the Company’s lease. Such notice could occur at any time prior to expiration of the extension. Additionally, under certain statutes, the Company would be eligible for relocation assistance. The Company has made no provision for potential relocation costs as of June 30, 2011 as notice has yet to be received from the County that it intends to terminate the Company’s lease. The Company does not anticipate any difficulty in finding sufficient office space at comparable pricing upon the vacating of its current Santa Cruz premises.
 
As of August 15, 2011 there have been no material developments in the other commitments and contingencies as described in the Company’s 2010 10-K Report not discussed above.
