Such management estimates include, but are not limited to, the best estimate of selling prices for products and related support; useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment; allowance for doubtful accounts; determination of fair value of stock-based awards; accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions; warranty liability; fair value of contingent consideration in a business combination; sales commissions expense; and contingencies and litigation. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.</span></div>
