Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business from time to time. There were no ongoing material legal proceedings as of October 31, 2011.

The Company enters into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. The Company's license agreements with customers generally require it to indemnify the customer against claims that its software infringes third party patent, copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights. Such indemnification obligations are generally limited in a variety of industry-standard respects. If a liability associated with any of the Company's indemnifications becomes probable and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable or the minimum amount of a range of loss is reasonably estimable, then an appropriate liability will be established. The estimated fair value of these indemnification clauses is minimal. The Company has not provided for any reserves for such indemnity liabilities.
