Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

A third-party software vendor invoiced us a total of $934,000 for certain licensed software that was lost in transit by a common carrier during the second quarter of 2014. We accrued a liability of $100,000 in the second quarter of 2014 as an estimate of our potential liability for legal and insurance deductible expenses. During the first quarter of 2015, the vendor credited our account for the full $934,000 as the licenses had been deactivated and there was no indication of counterfeit use. Accordingly, we reversed approximately $85,000 of the accrual after payment of legal expenses in the first quarter of 2015.

Contractual Commitments

Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2020. We have lease commitments for office space in Bellevue, Washington; Taipei, Taiwan; Trowbridge, UK; and Tokyo, Japan. We also lease office space on a month-to-month basis in Akron, Ohio; and on an annual basis in San Diego, California; and Boston, Massachusetts.

In August 2013, we amended the lease agreement for our Bellevue, Washington headquarters and extended the term of the original lease that was scheduled to expire in August 2014 to May 2020.

Rent expense was $1.1 million in 2015 and $1.2 million in 2014.

As of December 31, 2015, we had $250,000 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 equivalents.

Volume Pricing Agreements

In conjunction with our activities under the OEM Distribution Agreements (“ODAs”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), we enter into OEM Volume Royalty Program (“OVRP”) commitments with Microsoft. Under these OVRPs, we are provided with volume pricing on a customer-by-customer basis assuming certain minimum unit volumes are met. The OVRP terms are 12 months. In the event we do not meet the committed minimum unit volumes, we are obligated to pay the difference between the committed per-unit volume rate and the actual per-unit rate we achieved based upon actual units purchased. The OVRP arrangements do not equate to a minimum purchase commitment but rather, the arrangements are a volume pricing arrangement based upon actual volume purchased. In substantially all instances, we have reciprocal agreements with our customers such that we will receive per-unit price adjustments, similar to the amounts we would subsequently owe to Microsoft if such OVRP volumes are not met. However, in the event a customer is unwilling or unable to pay us, we would be negatively impacted. Based upon the credit-worthiness of our customers, our historical OVRP experience with our customers and OVRP arrangements in general, we do not believe we will incur any material liability in the current or future periods relating to existing agreements.

Microsoft is in the process of implementing significant pricing changes for its embedded products, including ending its design registration pricing discounts, terminating its OVRP and changing the aggregate volume price structure and product royalties for existing embedded Windows products effective January 1, 2016. In December 2015, Microsoft granted extensions for certain of the OVRPs through 2016.
