Commitments and Contingencies

During September 2012, the Company sold its Media business for $20.0 million of which $3.0 million was deposited by the Buyers into an escrow account for a period of twelve months after the Closing Date in order to secure the Company’s indemnification obligations to the Buyers for breaches of the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants and other obligations under the Purchase Agreement. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company received the $3.0 million held in escrow. The Company's representations and warranties made under the Purchase Agreement generally expired on September 17, 2013, although certain representations, warranties and covenants survive pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Company and Dice also agreed to provide certain transition services to one another through December 31, 2013, and the Company has completed providing these services to Dice.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time, in claims, proceedings and litigation arising in the normal course of business.

On June 10, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint filed by UbiComm LLC in U.S. District Court, for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Number 5,603,054. On September 3, 2013, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint, which was granted on November 15, 2013. On the same day, Ubicomm appealed the dismissal. Subsequently, two reexamination proceedings have been filed seeking to invalidate the patent at issue and the parties have agreed to stay the matter pending the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Alice Corp v. CLS Bank. Ubicomm claims that their patent covers a method of triggering an email reminder when a shopper abandons their shopping cart on the website. Ubicomm is seeking damages as well as interest, expenses, costs and an accounting of all allegedly infringing acts. The Company believes the complaint to be without merit. Because of the early stage of this proceeding and lack of specific damages claims, we cannot predict the ultimate impact (if any) that this matter may have on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

On October 21, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint filed by Landmark Technologies (“Landmark”) in the Eastern District of Texas, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Numbers 7,010,508 and 5,576,951 C2. Landmark claims that the patents cover execution of a search on the website and delivering requested information from the website. In January 2014, the case was dismissed with prejudice based on a mutually agreed upon settlement for an immaterial amount.

The Company reviews all claims and accrues a liability for those matters where it believes that the likelihood that a loss will occur is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable.
