SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 1, 2012, the Company reached a definitive agreement with the State of California on state tax refund claims involving tax years 1986 – 2004.  Per the terms of the agreement, the Company expects to receive a cash refund of state taxes of approximately $29 million during either the fourth quarter of 2012 or the first quarter of 2013. As a result of the refund, the Company will recognize in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year a state tax benefit, net of related federal tax expense, of approximately $25 million. The Company's unrecognized tax benefits will decline by $82.6 million as a result of this agreement.
