Note 11 — Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 25, 2011 was 23.9% compared to a negative 231.8% for the three months ended September 26, 2010. The negative effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 26, 2010 reflects the tax impact of beneficial discrete charges recorded during the third quarter of 2010 for losses on extinguishment of debt and a $5.7 million out of period tax adjustment associated with tax returns filed and tax audit conclusions, which management determined was not material on a quantitative or qualitative basis to the prior period.
