a. In the third and fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $4.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in foreign currency losses associated with the cost to convert cash generated by the business in Venezuela at an exchange rate less favorable than had been used to translate the balance sheet at the time, and to translate the Venezuelan balance sheet as of the end of the 2009 fiscal year, for the first time, at the parallel exchange rate rather than the official exchange rate in that country. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, under the caption Foreign Currency Translation.

b. The re-engineering and impairment charges line provides for severance and other exit costs. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
