12. Contingencies

We maintain directors' and officers' and corporate liability insurance to cover certain risks associated with, among other things, securities law-based claims filed against us or our directors and officers.

In connection with the merger contemplated with Taylor Made, four putative stockholder class action lawsuits have been filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. On April 24, 2012, the plaintiffs in the lawsuits filed a consolidated amended class action complaint, asserting that the members of the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, failing to maximize stockholder value in the contemplated merger, depriving the stockholders from participating in the Company’s long-term prospects and failing to provide adequate disclosures in the Company’s April 16, 2012 Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, and further asserting that the Company, Taylor Made and Merger Sub aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The Company, Taylor Made and Merger Sub believe that the lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

From time to time, we are engaged in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business. The ultimate liability, if any, for the aggregate amounts claimed cannot be determined at this time.
