of Pennsylvania and consolidated with the multidistrict litigation described above. In March 2010, the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania denied the Attorney General’s motion to remand the case back to West Virginia state
court. In June 2010, the Attorney General moved to sever and remand the portion of the claims seeking civil
penalties and injunctive relief back to West Virginia state court. We filed a brief in opposition to the motion in
July 2010.
We believe the claims in each of the pending actions described above in this item are without merit and
intend to defend the actions vigorously. We cannot predict the outcome of any of the actions described
above, including a range of possible loss, or how the final resolution of any such actions would impact our
results of operations or cash flows for any one period or our consolidated financial position. In addition, as
any action nears a trial, there is an increased possibility that the action may be settled by the parties. Never-
theless, the final disposition of any of the above actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on
our consolidated financial position, but could possibly be material to our consolidated results of operations or
cash flows for any one period.
Other
We are a defendant in several unrelated lawsuits claiming infringement of various patents relating to various
aspects of our businesses. In certain of these cases other industry participants are also defendants, and also
in certain of these cases we expect that any potential liability would be in part or in whole the responsibility of
our equipment and technology vendors under applicable contractual indemnification provisions. We are also
subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the
amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions is not expected to materially affect our financial posi-
tion, results of operations or cash flows, any litigation resulting from any such legal proceedings or claims
could be time consuming, costly and injure our reputation.
