Restructuring Charges

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company initiated a restructuring plan that includes headcount reductions, consolidation of responsibilities and vacating leased facilities (“Restructuring Actions”), which has continued into 2011. Employees impacted by the Restructuring Actions were notified of their termination during the fourth quarter of 2010 and throughout 2011. In addition, the Company vacated certain of its leased facilities during 2011. As a result of the Restructuring Actions, we have recognized a restructuring charge to earnings of $4.5 million and $19.2 million and made cash payments of $9.9 million and $25.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to severance, vacating leased facilities and related restructuring activities. The following tables show the activity in our restructuring reserve associated with the Restructuring Actions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
