Under the Agreements, Loews performed certain administrative, technical and ministerial services. Those services included internal auditing, cash management, advice and assistance in preparation of tax returns and obtaining insurance coverage. Under the Agreements, the Company was required to reimburse Loews for (i) actual costs incurred (such as salaries, employee benefits and payroll taxes) of the Loews personnel providing such services and (ii) all <font style="white-space: nowrap">out-of-pocket</font> expenses related to the provision of such services. Those Agreements were terminated on June 10, 2008 with the Separation from Loews. The Company was charged approximately $100,000 and $800,000 for the support functions during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company believes, if these services were provided by an independent third party, the cost incurred would not differ materially. </div>  </div>   <div style="margin-left: 0%">  <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="center" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"> <b> <font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times"> </font> </b> </div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="center" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"> <b> <font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times"> </font> </b> </div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div>  </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false No definition available.
