The Company provides indemnification agreements to certain direct or indirect customers. The Company agrees to reimburse these parties for any damages, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of legal actions taken against them by
third
parties for infringing upon their intellectual property rights as a result of using the Company
’s products and technologies. These indemnification provisions are varied in their scope and are subject to certain terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers.
 
It is
not
possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these agreements due to the limited history of indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. There were
no
indemnification liabilities incurred in any of the periods presented. However, there can be
no
assurances that the Company will
not
incur any financial liabilities in the future as a result of these obligations.
