Income Taxes</b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 37.9%. A significant item impacting the Company’s effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% was a charge of approximately $10 million in the first quarter due to the recently-passed health care reform legislation, which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 6 percentage points. Other items that impacted the effective tax rate included foreign and domestic tax credits and benefits related to domestic manufacturing which reduced the effective tax rate by approximately 4 percentage points, earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates different from the statutory U.S. federal rate which reduced the effective tax rate by approximately 3 percentage points, deemed repatriation of non-U.S. earnings which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 2 percentage points, adjustments to reserves for tax contingencies, including interest thereon (net of related tax benefit), which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 1 percentage point and state income taxes (net of related tax benefit) which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 2 percentage points. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company’s effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was not reduced for the benefit of the U.S. Research and Development Credit (R&D Credit) because the federal statute authorizing the R&D Credit had not been extended beyond December 31, 2009. The Company estimates that the effective tax rate at March 31, 2010 would have been approximately 1 percentage point lower had the Company been able to consider the tax benefits associated with the R&D Credit. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 26.3%. Significant items that impacted the Company’s effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% included a benefit from an adjustment to state tax reserves which reduced the effective tax rate by approximately 6 percentage points, foreign and domestic tax credits and benefits related to domestic manufacturing which reduced the effective tax rate by approximately 4 percentage points, earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates different from the statutory U.S. federal rate which reduced the effective tax rate by approximately 3 percentage points, deemed repatriation of non-U.S. earnings which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 2 percentage points, adjustments to reserves for tax contingencies, including interest thereon (net of related tax benefit), which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 2 percentage points and state income taxes (net of related tax benefit) which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 2 percentage points. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At March 31, 2010, the Company had a $300.1 million liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits, which included interest and penalties of $149.4 million.
