Restructuring and Integration Costs Greenleaf Integration In the fourth quarter of 2009, we began our restructuring and integration efforts in connection with the acquisition of Greenleaf on October 1, 2009. The restructuring plan includes the integration of the acquired Greenleaf operations into our existing salvage business. We are in the process of identifying those facilities and delivery routes that will be combined or closed to eliminate the duplication with existing LKQ facilities. Drivers and some facility personnel have been or will be terminated as part of the consolidation of these overlapping facilities and delivery routes. We expect that our ongoing integration activities will not be completed until 2011. We expect to incur approximately $0.8 million of additional charges as we execute the integration plan. These charges are expected to include costs related to the closure of duplicate facilities, the movement of inventory between locations, and severance and related benefits for terminated employees. In addition, we will incur restructuring expense related to excess facility and lease termination costs if we are unable to convert the duplicate facilities to alternate uses or recover the rent from a sublease tenant after we have vacated the facility. These restructuring charges will be expensed as incurred or in the case of excess facility costs when we cease using the facility. Restructuring and integration expenses associated with the Greenleaf acquisition totaled approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and are included in restructuring expenses on the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed statements of income. These charges reflected costs related to the closure of facilities and severance and related benefits for terminated personnel. </div> Note 11.
