7. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease and rent obligations

Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2018. We have lease commitments for office space in Bellevue, Washington; San Diego, California; Longmont, Colorado; Chanhassen, Minnesota; Dallas, Texas; Taipei, Taiwan; Beijing, China; Seoul, Korea; Nishi-Shinjuku, Japan, and Trowbridge, UK. We also lease office space on a month-to-month basis in Akron, Ohio and Redmond, Washington.

If we default under the terms of our corporate headquarters' lease in Bellevue, Washington, signed in February 2004, the landlord has the ability to demand payment for cash payments forgiven in 2004. The amount of the forgiven payments for which the landlord can demand repayment was $699,000 at September 30, 2011.

Rent expense was $401,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Rent expense was $378,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $875,000 pledged as collateral for a bank letter of credit under the terms of our headquarters' facility lease. The pledged cash supporting the outstanding letter of credit is recorded as restricted cash.

Contingent acquisition consideration

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement for MPC, we will pay an earn-out to the sellers of MPC in September 2012 if certain revenue milestones are met in certain countries of Europe. We currently estimate this earn-out to be $828,000 based on our revenue forecasts for that region. This amount has been recorded at fair value as part of the purchase price allocation.
