Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (ASC Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with ASC Topic 450-20. As of the date of this filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, such aggregated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Contingencies

EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink) and its United States subsidaries are currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department) for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for certain pre-acquisition EasyLink revenue. The potential exposure under this assessment, based upon the notice issued by the Department, is approximately $10.5 million. OpenText intends to vigorously defend against this assessment.

In addition, Easylink is under audit for New York State sales tax for the periods from June 2004 through to February 2011. We intend to vigorously contest any assessments for this period based on facts and circumstances relating to business operations during this timeframe. However, the results of these audits, and the potential sales tax exposure for EasyLink, could be significantly influenced by the fact that our judicial appeal of the assessment against EasyLink for $0.5 million in tax, interest and penalties for New York State sales tax for the period March 2001 to May 2004 was denied. We believe we have established sufficient reserves for this matter.
