parties are given access to sensitive and proprietary information in order to provide services and support to our
teams. These third parties may misappropriate our information and engage in unauthorized use of it. The failure
of these third parties to provide adequate services and technologies, or the failure of the third parties to
adequately maintain or update their services and technologies, could result in a disruption to our business
operations. Further, the disruption in the financial markets and the global economic downturn may adversely
affect our business partners and they may not be able to continue honoring their obligations to us. Some of our
business partners are highly-leveraged or small businesses that may be particularly vulnerable in the current
economic environment. Alternative arrangements and services may not be available to us on commercially
reasonable terms or we may experience business interruptions upon a transition to an alternative partner or
vendor. If we lose one or more significant business partners, our business could be harmed.
Our stock price has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate significantly.
The market price of our common stock historically has been, and we expect will continue to be, subject to
significant fluctuations. These fluctuations may be due to factors specific to us (including those discussed in the
risk factors above, as well as others not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material), to
changes in securities analysts’ earnings estimates or ratings, to our results or future financial guidance falling
below our expectations and analysts’ and investors’ expectations, to factors affecting the entertainment,
computer, software, Internet, media or electronics industries, to our ability to successfully integrate any
acquisitions we may make, or to national or international economic conditions. In particular, economic
downturns may contribute to the public stock markets experiencing extreme price and trading volume volatility.
These broad market fluctuations have and could continue to adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
