<font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">In October 2009
the Company signed a new lease agreement in Austin, Texas to expand
its corporate headquarters. In conjunction with the lease signing,
the Company received $2.9 million of leasehold improvement
incentives. In February 2012 the Company signed a lease for
additional space at its current corporate headquarters and received
$0.6 million of additional leasehold improvement incentives. The
Company has also signed leases for office premises at various other
locations and has received rent-free periods as lease incentives.
These were recorded as a liability and are being amortized over the
term of the lease as a reduction to rent expense. As of
April 30, 2013, $0.7 million of the lease incentive liability
was included within accrued rent and $2.3 million of lease
incentive liability was included in other liabilities, long
term.</font></p>
