14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     On June 4, 2007, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court. The lawsuit arose out of the merger with Solectron Corp. in 2007 and other defendants included selected officers of the Company, Solectron and Solectron's former directors and officers. On behalf of the class, the plaintiff sought compensatory, rescissory, and other forms of damages, as well as attorneys' fees and costs. On August 12, 2010, the Court certified a class of all former Solectron shareholders that were entitled to vote and receive cash or shares of the Company's stock in exchange for their shares of Solectron stock following the merger. On April 21, 2011, the Court granted a request by the plaintiff's counsel to withdraw as class counsel, and ordered the plaintiff to retain new counsel by June 24, 2011. The plaintiff failed to do so, thus on June 28, 2011, the Court issued an order to show cause as to why the case should not be dismissed. On August 12, 2011, the plaintiff failed to obtain new class counsel and the Court granted a one month extension to obtain new class counsel. On September 26, 2011, the plaintiff failed to obtain new class counsel and the Court dismissed the case without prejudice. The plaintiff had 60 days to appeal the Court's decision and no such appeal was made. As a result, the matter is closed.

     In addition, from time to time, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in its consolidated balance sheet would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
