3.  Asset Impairment and Other Charges, Net (continued) 

Included in the exit activity and other reserve balance at March 30, 2012 is $3.5 million in contract termination costs related to the under-utilized facilities in the United Kingdom in the banana and other fresh produce segments and $1.0 million in termination benefits primarily related to the previously announced decision to exit Hawaiian production operations in the other fresh produce segment.  During the second quarter of 2012, we also expect to pay termination benefits of $0.8 million related to an under-performing fresh-cut facility in the United Kingdom in the other fresh produce segment. We do not expect additional charges related to the exit and other activities mentioned above that would significantly impact our results of operations and financial condition.
