At December 31, 2009, the aggregate amount committed under the facility was $19,569,000. </div>  </div>   <div style="margin-left: 0%">   <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt">  </div> <div align="left" style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"> In the normal course of the claims administration services business, the Company is sometimes named as a defendant in suits by insureds or claimants contesting decisions made by the Company or its clients with respect to the settlement of claims. Additionally, certain clients of the Company have brought actions for indemnification on the basis of alleged negligence by the Company, its agents, or its employees in rendering service to clients. The majority of these claims are of the type covered by insurance maintained by the Company. However, the Company is responsible for the deductibles and self-insured retentions under various insurance coverages. In the opinion of Company management, adequate provisions have been made for such risks. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt">  </div> <div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"> The Company is subject to numerous federal, state, and foreign employment laws, and from time to time the Company faces claims by its employees and former employees under such laws. In addition, the Company has become aware that certain employers are becoming subject to an increasing number of claims involving alleged violations of wage and hour laws. The outcome of any of these allegations is expected to be highly fact specific, and there has been a substantial amount of recent legislative and judicial activity pertaining to employment-related issues. Such claims or litigation involving the Company or any of the Company’s current or former employees could divert management’s time and attention from the Company’s business operations and could potentially result in substantial costs of defense, settlement or other disposition, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt">  </div> <div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"> As previously disclosed, on October 31, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of BMSI from Platinum Equity, LLC (“Platinum”). BMSI and Platinum are together engaged in certain legal proceedings against the former owners of certain entities acquired by BMSI prior to the Company’s acquisition of BMSI. Pursuant to the agreement under which the Company acquired BMSI (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), Platinum has full responsibility to resolve all of these matters and is obligated to fully indemnify BMSI and the Company for all monetary payments that BMSI may be required to make as a result of any unfavorable outcomes related to these pre-existing legal proceedings. Pursuant thereto, Platinum has also agreed to indemnify the Company for any additional payments required under any purchase price adjustment mechanism, earnout, or similar provision in any of BMSI’s purchase and sale agreements entered into prior to the Company’s acquisition of BMSI. In the event of an unfavorable outcome in which Platinum does not indemnify the Company under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company may be responsible for funding any such unfavorable outcomes. At this time, the Company’s management does not believe the Company will be responsible for the funding of any of these matters. The Company has not recognized any loss contingencies for these matters in its consolidated financial statements. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt">  </div> <div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"> Separately, the Company and Platinum have agreed to arbitration regarding the application of the purchase price adjustment mechanism contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has received a notice from Platinum which disputes the Purchaser’s Statement (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) delivered by the Company to Platinum and also asserts that Platinum is owed a certain amount thereunder. The Company is contesting this notice and has asserted its belief that it is owed a certain amount thereunder. At the present time, the Company is unable to determine any possible outcome of this dispute. Because all of the goodwill in the Broadspire segment is impaired, as disclosed in Note 2, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” any required payment or recovery will result in a nontaxable charge or credit to the Company’s results of operations. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt">  </div> <div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"> In 2003, BMSI acquired NATLSCO, Inc. from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumberman Mutual Casualty Company (“LMC”). BMSI assumed certain obligations to service and administer a population of claims outstanding at the 2003 acquisition date. Liquidity to support these casualty claims operations for the foreseeable future was provided by cash infused by LMC at the 2003 acquisition date, and a receivable held in trust, which has and will continue to be distributed to BMSI in accordance with a trust agreement through August 2012. Broadspire received total distributions from this trust of $2,272,000 during 2009, $4,693,000 during 2008, and $7,569,000 during 2007. The Company believes that the funds that have been and will be received from LMC and the trust are sufficient to at least cover the actual costs that Broadspire will incur over the next several years to service and administer this population of claims through closure. Broadspire’s revenues from LMC totaled $9,071,000 for 2009, $10,710,000 for 2008, and $13,474,000 for 2007. Accounts receivable from LMC included in accounts receivable in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet were approximately $955,000 and $2,129,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false Includes disclosure of commitments and contingencies.
