Legal settlements, net

In 2004, we recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $20 million associated with the settlement of lawsuits related to a program we offered to some of our leasing customers to replace equipment if it was lost, stolen or destroyed. The $20 million charge related to the following settlement costs: award certificates to be provided to members of the class for purchase of office products through our diverse supply line; and the cost of legal fees and related expenses. In 2006, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $5 million related to a revised liability estimate associated with this settlement and a pre-tax charge of $2 million for other legal matters.
