Commitments and Contingencies

Summary

We are subject to contractual disputes, claims and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While we are unable to estimate a range of potential losses, we do not believe that any of the legal proceedings pending against us as of the date of this report, some of which are expected to be covered by insurance policies, will have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. As these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, our view of these matters may change in the future.

Contractual Commitments

In October 2012, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Gallup (the "Gallup Joint Venture") that required us to make payments over a five year period beginning January 2013. Pursuant to Sharecare's acquisition of the TPHS business, our ownership interest in the Gallup Joint Venture was transferred to Sharecare. We agreed with Sharecare to be responsible for two-thirds of the remaining payment obligations in respect of the purchase price to be paid in connection with Sharecare's acquisition of additional membership interest in the joint venture. This obligation is currently expected to result in aggregate payments by us of approximately $4.2 million, payable in five equal quarterly installments that began in the fourth quarter of the 2016 calendar year and end in the fourth quarter of 2017. As of December 31, 2016, this obligation totaled $3.3 million and was included in accrued liabilities. The financial impact of the strategic relationship with Gallup and the Gallup Joint Venture are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented as each of these are a part of the TPHS business that we sold.

In May 2011, we entered into a ten-year applications and technology services outsourcing agreement with HP that contained minimum fee requirements. As a result of the sale of the TPHS business, the minimum fee requirements under our technology services outsourcing agreement with HP were eliminated.
