Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, typically intellectual property litigation and infringement claims related to the Company's feature films and other commercial activities, which could cause the Company to incur significant expenses or prevent the Company from releasing a film or other properties. The Company also has been the subject of patent and copyright claims relating to technology and ideas that it may use or feature in connection with the production, marketing or exploitation of the Company's feature films and other properties, which may affect the Company's ability to continue to do so. Furthermore, from time to time the Company may introduce new products or services, including in areas where it currently does not operate, which could increase its exposure to litigation and claims by competitors, consumers or other intellectual property owners.Defending intellectual property litigation is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees, and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained in all cases. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe, based on current knowledge, that any existing legal proceedings or claims are likely to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Contributions to ODW. The Company has committed to making certain contributions in connection with the formation of ODW. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion related to these commitments.

Contingent Consideration. As a result of the Company's acquisition of ATV, the Company may be obligated to make additional contingent cash payments as part of the purchase price. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion.
