[1] As of January 1, 2010, the Company was named in 36,448 maritime actions which had been administratively dismissed by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ("MARDOC claims"), and therefore were not included in "Beginning claims". As of March 31, 2012, pursuant to an ongoing review process initiated by the Court, 26,574 claims were permanently dismissed, and 3,378 claims remain active (and have been added to "Ending claims"). In addition, the Company was named in 8 new maritime actions in 2010 (not included in "Beginning claims"). The Company expects that more of the remaining 6,504 maritime actions will be activated, or permanently dismissed, as the Court's review process continues.
