Derivative instruments and hedging activities</b> </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company’s international operations are subject to risks related to currency exchange fluctuations. Prices for the Company’s products and services are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars, including products and services sold to members that are located outside the United States. Many of the costs associated with the Company’s operations located outside the United States are denominated in local currencies. As a consequence, increases in local currencies against the U.S. dollar in countries where the Company has foreign operations would result in higher effective operating costs and, potentially, reduced earnings. The Company uses forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedging instruments, to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent with its cost reimbursement agreements with its United Kingdom subsidiary. A forward contract obligates the Company to exchange a predetermined amount of U.S. dollars to make equivalent Pound Sterling (“GBP”) payments equal to the value of such exchanges. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is 12 months. The forward contracts are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments are reflected as adjustments to other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and/or current earnings. The Company has no credit-risk-related contingent features in any of its agreements with its derivative counterparty. The notional amount of outstanding forward contracts was $14.4 million at June 30, 2010. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-left: 0in; "> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt;
