Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. We believe that such pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers that often require us to defend and/or indemnify the customer against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third-party with respect to our products. For example, we were notified that certain of our customers have settled with or been sued by the following companies, in the noted jurisdictions, regarding the listed patents:

Asserting Party	Jurisdiction	Patents at Issue
Broadband iTV, Inc.	U.S. District Court of Hawaii	U.S. Patent No. 7,361,336

Sprint Communications Company, L.P.	U.S. District Court Eastern District of Pennsylvania	U.S. Patent Nos. 6,754,907 and 6,757,907

FutureVision.com LLC	U.S. District Court Eastern District of Texas	U.S. Patent No. 5,877,755

We continue to review our potential obligations under our indemnification agreements with these customers and the indemnity obligations to these customers from other vendors that also provided systems and services to these customers. From time to time, we also indemnify customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability, and environmental claims relating to the use of our products and services or resulting from our acts or omissions, our employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. We have not accrued any material liabilities related to such indemnifications in our financial statements and do not expect any other material costs as a result of such obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make is unlimited, and we are unable to estimate any possible loss or range of possible loss.

Severance Arrangements

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements with our executive officers and certain other employees, employment may be terminated by either the respective executive officer or us at any time. In the event the employee voluntarily resigns (except as described below) or is terminated for cause, compensation under the employment agreement will end. In the event an agreement is terminated by us without cause or in certain circumstances constructively by us, the terminated employee will receive severance compensation for a period from 6 to 12 months, depending on the officer, in an annualized amount equal to the respective employee's base salary then in effect. In the event our CEO resigns within three months of a change in control or the CEO’s agreement is terminated by us within one year of a change of control other than for due cause, disability or non-renewal by our CEO, our CEO will be entitled to severance compensation multiplied by two, as well as incremental medical costs. Additionally, if terminated, our CEO and CFO may be entitled to bonuses during the severance period. At March 31, 2017, the maximum contingent liability under these agreements is $2,090. Our employment agreements with certain of our employees contain certain offset provisions, as defined in their respective agreements.

Board Representation and Standstill Agreement

As previously disclosed in our Form 8-K filed on August 29, 2016, the Company entered into a Board Representation and Standstill Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) with an investor and its affiliated party. Pursuant to the terms of the Standstill Agreement, in consideration for certain restrictions applicable to the investor, our Board, among other things (1) agreed to appoint a nominee of the investor to serve on the Company’s Board until the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the nominee was subsequently elected as a director of the Company at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 26, 2016) and (2) agreed to pay up to $235 for fees and expenses incurred by the investor and its affiliated party in connection with the Standstill Agreement.

Additionally, pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, effective as of August 29, 2016, one of our directors tendered his resignation from the Board and all Board committees thereof. In connection with this resignation, the Company agreed to accelerate the vesting of 5,400 shares of restricted stock held by this director and to make a one-time payment to him of $48 (including $2 of accrued dividends released upon the acceleration of the vesting of the restricted stock).
