        Our board of directors has authorized up to $1,200,000 in repurchases of our common stock. All repurchases are subject to stock price, market conditions, corporate and legal requirements and other factors. As of June 30, 2012, we had a remaining amount available for repurchase under our share repurchase program of $66,035, which represents approximately 1% in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock based on the closing stock price on such date.
