The net underfunded status of the plans at December 31, 2010 was $45 million, of which $59 million is in other
liabilities and $3 million is in accrued expenses and $17 million is in other assets in the accompanying balance
sheet.
All domestic pension plans are frozen plans, where employees do not accrue additional benefits. Therefore, at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, the projected benefit obligation is equal to the accumulated benefit obligation.
In 2009, the Company elected to freeze its Foreign Service pension plan and settled its defined benefit pension plans
in Canada, resulting in a $50 million reduction in the projected benefit obligation.
