Adverse results in these lawsuits may include awards of substantial monetary damages, costly royalty or licensing agreements, or orders preventing us from offering certain features, functionalities, products, or services, and may also result in a change in our business practices, and require development of non-infringing products or technologies, which could result in a loss of revenues for us and otherwise harm our business.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" size="2">In addition, many of our agreements with our customers and partners require us to indemnify them for certain intellectual property infringement claims against them, which would increase our costs as a result of defending such claims, and may require that we pay significant damages if there were an adverse ruling in any such claims. Furthermore, such customers and partners may discontinue the use of our products, services, and technologies, as a result of injunctions or otherwise, which could result in loss of revenues and adversely impact our business.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" size="2">We are also involved in other claims, suits, government investigations, and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, competition and antitrust matters, privacy matters, tax matters, labor and employment claims, commercial claims, and other matters.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" size="2">Although the results of such claims, suits, government investigations, and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of the matters discussed above will not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 2%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" size="2"><i>EPA Investigation</i></font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" size="2">In February 2009, we learned of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) investigation into an alleged release of refrigerant at one of our smaller data facilities, which we acquired from DoubleClick, and the accuracy of related statements and records. We are cooperating with the EPA and have provided documents and other materials. The EPA investigation could result in fines, civil or criminal penalties, or other administrative action. We believe this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1px">  </p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" size="2">Income Taxes</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" size="2">We are under audit by the IRS and various other tax authorities. We have reserved for potential adjustments to our provision for income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities, and we believe that the final outcome of these examinations or agreements will not have a material effect on our results of operations. If events occur which indicate payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in the recognition of tax benefits in the period we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimates of the federal, state, and foreign income tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.</font></p> </div>
