The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 was 35% and 77%, respectively, as compared to an effective tax rate of 38% and 73%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009. The effective tax rates for the three and six month periods in 2010 and 2009 were driven by the mix of jurisdictions with income and losses during the interim periods. Additionally, the effective tax rates in interim periods are also impacted positively or negatively by accruals related to uncertain tax positions, settlements of tax audits with authorities and/or changes in the Company's assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets related to operating loss carryforwards and income tax credits. </font></p></div> </div> 8.
