Commitments and Contingencies
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Letter of Credit
The Company's credit facility includes a $10.0 million letter of credit subfacility. As of March 29, 2013, the Company has $2.0 million of outstanding letter of credit to back the Company's obligation to pay or perform when required to do so pursuant to the requirements of an underlying agreement or the provision of goods or services to a supplier. See Note 13 for more information regarding the credit facility.
Indemnification Agreements
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with its customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions for indemnifying the customer against any claim brought by a third party to the extent any such claim alleges that the Company's product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriates a trade secret, of that third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of the available remedies in a variety of industry-standard methods, including, but not limited to, product usage and geography-based limitations, a right to control the defense or settlement of any claim, and a right to replace or modify the infringing products to make them non-infringing. The Company has not incurred significant expenses related to these indemnification agreements and no material claims for such indemnifications were outstanding as of March 29, 2013. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements, if any, to be immaterial; accordingly, no liability has been recorded with respect to such indemnifications as of March 29, 2013.
Contingencies
The Company may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings and disputes that arise in the normal course of business. These matters include product liability actions, patent infringement actions, contract disputes, domestic and international federal, state and local tax reviews and audits, and other matters. The Company also may be subject to litigation and/or adverse rulings or judgments as a result of certain contractual indemnification obligations. The Company records a provision for a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
Third parties in the past have asserted, and may in the future assert, intellectual property infringement claims against the Company, and such future claims, if proven, could require the Company to pay substantial damages or to redesign its existing products or pay fees to obtain cross-license agreements. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend the Company's intellectual property rights, to protect the Company's trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of its proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, either of which could harm the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Further, many of the Company's current and potential competitors have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforcing and defending their intellectual property rights than the Company.
Additionally, from time to time, the Company receives inquiries from regulatory agencies informally requesting information or documentation. There can be no assurance in any given case that such informal review will not lead to further proceedings involving the Company in the future.
The Company is not aware of any pending disputes, including those outlined above, that would be likely to have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and costs and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include the payment of monetary damages, cash or other settlement, or an injunction prohibiting it from selling one or more products. If an unfavorable resolution were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the period in which the resolution occurs or on future periods.
