We have committed to make future minimum payments to third parties for certain raw material inventories, including agreements to purchase minimum amounts of modafinil through 2012.  Over the past few years, we have been developing a manufacturing process for the active pharmaceutical ingredient in NUVIGIL that is more cost effective than our prior process of separating modafinil into armodafinil.  As a result of our plan to manufacture armodafinil in the future using this new process and the launch of NUVIGIL in 2009, we assessed the potential impact of these items on certain of our existing agreements to purchase modafinil and recorded charges and gains. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our aggregate future purchase commitments remaining totaled $5.7 million and $8.6 million, respectively, and are fully reserved.
