Indemnification

        In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it may agree to indemnify the counterparties from any losses incurred relating to breach of representations and warranties, failure to perform certain covenants, or claims and losses arising from certain events as outlined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, losses arising from litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification clauses may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. No material amounts were reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011 related to these indemnifications.

        The Company has not estimated the maximum potential amount of indemnification liability under these agreements due to the limited history of prior claims and the unique facts and circumstances applicable to each particular agreement. To date, the Company has not made any payments related to these indemnification agreements.

Legal Matters

        The Company is not a party to any material legal proceeding that the Company believes is likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. From time to time the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. These claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial resources and diversion of management efforts.

        In September 2010, a claimant filed suit against the Company seeking a contractual payment of approximately 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, among other claims. In November 2010, the suit went to arbitration, and, in December 2010, the Company filed a counter claim against the claimant. On April 3, 2012, the arbitrator ruled against the Company and awarded the claimant a cash award of approximately $1.4 million, which was paid in the second quarter of 2012 and has been recorded as a repurchase of common stock in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company repurchased the disputed shares in the second quarter of 2012, and the shares were retired. In the first quarter of 2012, the value of the disputed shares, $0.8 million as of the arbitration settlement date, was recorded as a reduction to stockholders' equity as a stock repurchase. The remaining amount of $0.6 million was recorded as a selling, general and administrative expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
