Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

We lease our office and data center facilities under noncancelable leases that expire at various points between May 2013 and April 2025. We are also responsible for certain real estate taxes, utilities and maintenance costs on our office facilities. Rent expense was approximately $332 and $426 for the three months endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively and $671 and $897 for the six months endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively.

Other Commitments

We have a content licensing agreement that as of June 30, 2012, obligates us to make minimum future payments of $3,500 for the remainder of 2012. During 2013, we will be obligated to make minimum payments based on the number of queries performed in 2012, and as a result, we are unable to estimate our calendar year 2013 minimum commitment at this time. If not renewed, this agreement expires in December 2013.

On April 3, 2012, we entered into a Products and Services Agreement with a technology provider. This agreement obligates us to make minimum future payments of $1,600 per year for the next four years. As of June 30, 2012, our remaining obligation for 2012 is $800 .

Legal Matters

We are involved in various legal proceedings, including but not limited to the matters described below that involve claims for substantial amounts of money or for other relief or that might necessitate changes to our business or operations.

In April 2009, Parallel Networks, LLC filed a complaint against us for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The complaint alleged, among other things, that our website technology infringes a patent owned by Parallel Networks purporting to cover a “Method And Apparatus For Client-Server Communication Using a Limited Capability Client Over A Low-Speed Communications Link” (U.S. Patent No. 6,446,111 B1) and sought injunctive relief, monetary damages, costs and attorneys fees. The complaint was dismissed without prejudice in February 2010, but the plaintiff filed a new complaint against us on March 29, 2010 containing similar allegations. The case was set for trial on September 10, 2012. The court has since stayed proceedings in the district court pending resolution of plaintiff’s appeal of certain rulings by the court, which granted summary judgment on several claims in favor of us and other defendants. At this time we are unable to estimate any potential damages associated with this matter. As such, we have not recorded any accrual for potential loss as of December 31, 2011 or June 30, 2012.

In addition, from time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Such proceedings, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. If any legal proceedings were to result in an unfavorable outcome, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations; however, at this time, we are unable to estimate the potential range of loss, if any, and it is too early to determine the likelihood of whether or not any of these claims will ultimately result in a loss. As such, we have not recorded any material accrual for potential loss as of December 31, 2011 or June 30, 2012.
