Contractual Obligations

We are obligated under certain agreements to make non-cancelable guaranteed minimum revenue share payments to Google Network members based on their achieving defined performance terms, such as number of search queries or advertisements displayed. At March 31, 2009, our aggregate outstanding non-cancelable guaranteed minimum revenue share commitments totaled $671.4 million through 2012 compared to $1,030.3 million at December 31, 2008.

In addition, we recorded additional long-term taxes payable of $275.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as FIN 48 specifies that tax positions for which the timing of the ultimate resolution is uncertain should be recognized as long-term liabilities. At this time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years beyond 12 months due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes.

At this time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years beyond 12 months due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes.
