       On September&amp;#160;15, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards
       Board (&amp;#8220;FASB&amp;#8221;) Accounting Standards Codification (the
       &amp;#8220;Codification&amp;#8221;) became the single source of
       authoritative generally accepted accounting principles in the
       United States of America. The Codification changed the
       referencing of financial standards but did not change or alter
       existing U.S.&amp;#160;GAAP. The Codification became effective for
       the Company in the second quarter of Fiscal 2010.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times"&gt;Business
       Combinations and Consolidation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       On April&amp;#160;30, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting
       guidance on business combinations and noncontrolling interests
       in consolidated financial statements. The guidance on business
       combinations impacts the accounting for any business
       combinations completed after April&amp;#160;29, 2009. The nature and
       extent of the impact will depend upon the terms and conditions
       of any such transaction. The guidance on noncontrolling
       interests changes the accounting and reporting for minority
       interests, which have been recharacterized as noncontrolling
       interests and classified as a component of equity. Prior period
       financial statements and disclosures for existing minority
       interests have been restated in accordance with this guidance.
       All other requirements of this guidance will be applied
       prospectively. The adoption of the guidance on noncontrolling
       interests did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s
       financial statements.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and
       disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets. This
       amendment removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose
       entity and requires that a transferor recognize and initially
       measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities
       incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted
       for as a sale. This amendment also requires additional
       disclosures about any transfers of financial assets and a
       transferor&amp;#8217;s continuing involvement with transferred
       financial assets. This amendment is effective for fiscal years
       beginning after November&amp;#160;15, 2009, and interim periods
       within those fiscal years. As of October&amp;#160;28, 2009, the
       Company has approximately $284&amp;#160;million of trade receivables
       associated with factoring and securitization programs that are
       not recognized on the balance sheet. The Company is currently
       evaluating these arrangements as well as any other potential
       impact of adopting this amendment on April&amp;#160;29, 2010, the
       first day of Fiscal 2011.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and
       disclosure requirements for variable interest entities. This
       amendment changes how a reporting entity determines when an
   entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled
       through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The
       determination of whether a reporting entity is required to
       consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the
       purpose and design of the other entity and the reporting
       entity&amp;#8217;s ability to direct the activities of the other
       entity that most significantly impact its economic performance.
       The amendment also requires additional disclosures about a
       reporting entity&amp;#8217;s involvement with variable interest
       entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to
       that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to
       disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity
       affects the reporting entity&amp;#8217;s financial statements. This
       amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after
       November&amp;#160;15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal
       years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
       adopting this amendment on April&amp;#160;29, 2010, the first day of
       Fiscal 2011.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;

   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;

       Value&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       On April&amp;#160;30, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting
       guidance on fair value measurements for its non-financial assets
       and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a
       non-recurring basis, including long-lived assets, goodwill,
       other intangible assets, exit liabilities and purchase price
       allocations. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a
       framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted
       accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
       measurements. This guidance applies whenever other accounting
       guidance requires or permits assets or liabilities to be
       measured at fair value, but does not expand the use of fair
       value to new accounting transactions. The adoption of this
       guidance did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s
       financial statements. See Note&amp;#160;13 for additional
       information.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times"&gt;Postretirement
       Benefit Plans and Equity Compensation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       On April&amp;#160;30, 2009, the Company adopted accounting guidance
       for determining whether instruments granted in share-based
       payment transactions are participating securities. This guidance
       states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain
       non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents
       (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall
       be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to
       the two-class method. As a result of adopting this guidance, the
       Company has retrospectively adjusted its earnings per share data
       for prior periods. The adoption of this guidance had no impact
       on net income and less than a $0.01 impact on basic and diluted
       earnings per share from continuing operations for the second
       quarters of Fiscal 2010 and 2009. The adoption had less than a
       $0.01 impact on basic and diluted earnings per share from
       continuing operations for the first six months of Fiscal 2010
       and a $0.01 impact on basic and diluted earnings per share from
       continuing operations for the first six months of Fiscal 2009.
       See Note&amp;#160;9 for additional information.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       In December 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on
       employers&amp;#8217; disclosures about postretirement benefit plan
       assets. This new guidance requires enhanced disclosures about
       plan assets in an employer&amp;#8217;s defined benefit pension or
       other postretirement plan. Companies will be required to
       disclose information about how investment allocation decisions
       are made, the fair value of each major category of plan assets,
       the basis used to determine the overall expected long-term rate
       of return on assets assumption, a description of the inputs and
       valuation techniques used to develop fair value measurements of
       plan assets, and significant concentrations of credit risk. This
       guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after
       December&amp;#160;15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the
       impact of adopting this guidance in the fourth quarter of Fiscal
       2010.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times"&gt;Other
       Areas&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #ffffff"&gt;
       In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on
       subsequent events, which establishes general standards of
       accounting for and disclosure of events or transactions that
       occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial
       statements are issued or are available to be
   issued. This guidance describes the circumstances under which an
       entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after
       the balance sheet date in its financial statements and provides
       guidance on the disclosures that an entity should make about
       events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet
       date. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter
       of Fiscal 2010, and its application had no impact on the
       Company&amp;#8217;s consolidated financial statements.
   &lt;/div&gt;
