(7)       SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

In February 2008, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan under which up to $100.0 million of common shares could be purchased.  During 2011, we purchased approximately 264,000 shares for a total of approximately $12.5 million.  During 2011, approximately 92,000 shares, with a value of approximately $4.3 million, were surrendered by our employees in connection with the vesting of restricted shares and restricted share units and used by us to satisfy payment of the employee federal income tax withholding obligations of these employees.  During 2012, we purchased approximately 782,000 shares for a total of approximately $35.9 million.  During 2012, approximately 80,000 shares with a value of approximately $3.8 million were surrendered by our employees in connection with the vesting of restricted shares and restricted share units and used by us to satisfy payment of employee federal income tax withholding obligations of these employees.  The share purchases in connection with the restricted share and restricted share unit vestings were made outside of our repurchase plan.  See Note 15, "Subsequent Event."
