NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<br />

the outcome of these matters with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of or<br />

decided unfavorably to us, based upon available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration<br />

awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or<br />

arbitration in existence at July 1, 2011 are reserved for, covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse<br />

effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.<br />

Our tax filings are subject to audit by taxing authorities in jurisdictions where we conduct business. These<br />

audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or ultimately<br />

through established legal proceedings. We believe we have adequately accrued for any ultimate amounts that are<br />

likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be different from the amounts recorded<br />

in our Consolidated Financial Statements.<br />

NOTE 27: SUBSEQUENT EVENT<br />

On July 30, 2011, our Board of Directors approved the $1 billion New Repurchase Program that replaced the<br />

2009 Repurchase Program, which had a remaining, unused authorization of approximately $200 million. The New<br />

Repurchase Program does not have a stated expiration date. Repurchases under the New Repurchase Program may<br />

be made through open market purchases, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking<br />

institutions, or any combination thereof. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases are subject to market<br />

conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at our discretion and may be suspended or<br />

discontinued at any time. We began repurchasing shares under the New Repurchase Program in August 2011.<br />
