     During 2008, the Company became involved in two securities-law civil actions and a governmental interaction primarily related to the commercialization of our PPM service, which the management of the Company believes are covered by the Company’s Directors and Officers insurance policy. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company incurred-to-date $10.3 million, and $9.7 million, respectively, in legal fees and costs in defense of its positions related thereto, and as of June 30, 2011, the Company had received $6.7 million in insurance reimbursements related to these legal actions. The Company reported approximately $0.6 million, and $0.3 million in related legal fees recorded during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively. These legal fees were offset by $0.8 million and $0.3 million in insurance recoveries as reductions to selling, general and administrative expense during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
