Employee Retention Matters

In connection with the Company’s turnaround efforts, and to retain and encourage employees to assist the Company with its efforts, during 2014 the Company's compensation committee approved an all-employee retention bonus plan ("2014 Retention Bonus Plan") based on achieving certain financial and cash targets. The financial metrics must be met for two consecutive quarter periods during the three quarter periods ending March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2015, the Company accrued $11.0 million, the maximum total target bonus expense based on the Company's financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and the quarter ended December 31, 2014, which is included in "Accrued expenses" in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The bonus has been recognized over the requisite service period, $5.5 million of which was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Legal Matters

The Company is, from time to time, party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. For example, the Company is currently named as a defendant or co-defendant in some patent infringement lawsuits in the U.S. and is indirectly participating in other U.S. patent infringement actions pursuant to its contractual indemnification obligations to certain customers. Based on an evaluation of these matters and discussions with the Company’s intellectual property litigation counsel, the Company currently believes that liabilities arising from or sums paid in settlement of these existing matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Company periodically enters into agreements that require the Company to indemnify and defend its customers for, among other things, claims alleging that the Company’s products infringe third-party patents or other intellectual property rights. The Company’s maximum exposure under these indemnification provisions cannot be estimated but the Company does not believe that there are any matters individually or collectively that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.
