The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $234 million and $466 million at December 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively, of which approximately $20 million and $100 million, respectively, if recognized,
would affect the effective tax rate, net of resulting changes to valuation allowances.
A roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits, including those attributable to discontinued operations, is as
follows:
2010 2009
Balance at January 1 $ 466 $ 914
Additions based on tax positions related to current year 29 29
Additions for tax positions of prior years 61 60
Reductions for tax positions of prior years (161) (96)
Settlements (156) (439)
Lapse of statute of limitations (5) (2)
Balance at December 31 $ 234 $ 466
During 2010, the Company recorded $150 million of tax benefits related to reductions in unrecognized tax
benefits relating to facts that indicate the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being
sustained. Additionally, the Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits by $156 million for settlements with tax
authorities, of which $59 million resulted in cash tax payments and the remainder of which reduced tax
carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.
