ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our executive offices and principal office for domestic marketing, sales, professional services and development occupy approximately 408,000 square
feet in San Francisco, California under leases that expire at various times through November 2017. We also lease space in various locations throughout the
United States for local sales and professional services personnel. Our foreign subsidiaries lease office space for their operations including local sales and
professional services personnel.
We believe that our existing facilities and offices are adequate to meet our requirements for the foreseeable future. See Note 8, "Commitments and
Contingencies," in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our lease commitments. If we require additional space, we
believe that we will be able to obtain such space on acceptable, commercially reasonable terms.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. In our opinion, resolution of these matters is not
expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or our financial position. However, depending on the nature
and timing of any such dispute, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows or financial position
in a particular period.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
