Income Taxes</b> </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of the realization of its deferred tax assets and reduces the carrying amount of those deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of its deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available to it for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, through the year ended December 31, 2005. Tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, and 2008 are currently under examination by the IRS. The Company is also subject to audits by various state and foreign taxing authorities, including, but not limited to, most U.S. states and major European and Asian countries where the Company has operations. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company regularly evaluates its tax positions and the associated interest and potential penalties, if applicable, resulting from audits of federal, state and foreign income tax filings, as well as changes in tax law (including regulations, administrative pronouncements, judicial precedents, etc.) that would reduce the technical merits of the position to below more likely than not. The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years. Many factors are considered in making these evaluations, including past history, recent interpretations of tax law and the specifics of each matter. Because tax regulations are subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain, these evaluations can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company applies a variety of methodologies in making these estimates and assumptions which include studies performed by independent economists, advice from industry and subject matter experts, evaluation of public actions taken by the IRS and other taxing authorities, as well as the Company’s industry experience. These evaluations are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. However, if management’s estimates are not representative of actual outcomes, the Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Unrecognized tax benefits, generally represented by liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and all subject to tax examinations, arise when the estimated benefit recorded in the financial statements differs from the amounts taken or expected to be taken in a tax return because of the uncertainties described above. These unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to issues common among multinational corporations. Virtually all of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate. The Company accounts for interest and potential penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for income taxes. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company effectively settled a tax examination. This settlement resulted in a net tax benefit of $12.5 million, which was primarily due to a decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior years of $29.3 million, offset by a decrease in deferred tax and other assets of $15.9 million and an increase in additional paid-in-capital of $0.9 million. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2010, could decrease by approximately $4.8 million over the next 12 months related to the settlement of routine examinations or through the expiration of the statute of limitations. Increases to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits from January 1, 2010 of approximately $63.4 million relate primarily to current year operations. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to increase in the next 12 months relating to operations occurring in that period. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-left: 0in; "> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false us-types:textBlockItemType textblock Description containing the entire income tax disclosure.
