decrease was primarily a result of a $10.5 million decrease in non-cash stock based compensation primarily due to the acceleration and modification of options upon the termination of three executive officers and restricted stock awards and options granted to our Chief Executive Officer that were immediately vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Additionally, there was a $4.0 million decrease in personnel related costs, excluding non-cash stock based compensation, a $3.8 million decrease in legal fees, a $1.1 million decrease in bad debt expense and a $0.6 million decrease in facilities costs due to the new lease in Westlake Village, California. These cost decreases were partially offset by an increase in consulting costs of $1.1 million and other cost increases of $0.1 million.
Net cash used in financing activities of $59.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to principal payments on our line of credit of $129.3 million offset by proceeds from our line of credit of $64.7 million and other miscellaneous cash used of $0.2 million. There were cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $4.5 million, reductions in restricted cash balances of $0.5 million and proceeds from loans payable of $0.3 million.

Highlight of Business Operations:
As part of the sale in 2002 of our ConsumerInfo division to Experian Holding, Inc. (Experian), $10.0 million of the purchase price was put in escrow to secure our indemnification obligations (the Indemnity Escrow). Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, our maximum potential liability for claims by Experian was capped at $29.3 million less the balance in the Indemnity Escrow, which amount was approximately $8.5 million on March 31, 2009. During 2008, Experian demanded $29.3 million in indemnity payments. We denied liability and a bifurcated arbitration proceeding ensued to resolve the dispute. Subsequent to the completion of the first phase of the arbitration proceedings, on April 20, 2009, the parties settled the dispute and entered into a full release of all claims under which Experian received $7.4 million from the Indemnity Escrow and we received the balance of the escrow of $1.1 million, which is included in gain on disposition of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.General and administrative.
