Note 11 — Restructuring:
2009 Customer Service Consolidation
In 2009, we began the consolidation of certain customer service facilities in North America and Europe to
streamline our operations and deliver better and more efficient customer support to our users. The consolidation
has impacted approximately 1,000 employees. In connection with this consolidation, we estimate that we will
incur approximately $48.0 million of restructuring related charges, primarily employee severance and benefits.
During 2009 and 2010, we incurred restructuring charges of $26.0 million and $21.4 million, respectively, in
connection with this consolidation. As of December 31, 2010, the restructuring activities in connection with this
plan are substantially complete.
