Charge from Realignment of Senior Management

On April 22, 2010, the Company announced the departure of its former president and one of its segment leaders. The Company incurred a onetime charge associated with these changes of approximately $3,610 primarily in the three months ended June 30, 2010 related to cash severance and the accounting impact of accelerated vesting of equity-based awards. Approximately $540 of this amount is included in direct client service costs as a component of compensation and benefits and approximately $3,070 in operating expenses as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. These charges were not allocated to any of the Company's segments or associated with a restructuring, exit or disposal activity.
