Post Retirement Medical and Life Insurance Plan
Our post retirement benefit plan, which was assumed in connection with the acquisition of Data General, provides certain medical and life insurance
benefits for retired former Data General employees. With the exception of certain participants who retired prior to 1986, the medical benefit plan requires
monthly contributions by retired participants in an amount equal to insured equivalent costs less a fixed EMC contribution which is dependent on the
participant's length of service and Medicare eligibility. Benefits are continued to dependents of eligible retiree participants for 39 weeks after the death of the
retiree. In December 2007, we settled the liability associated with the retiree life insurance plan by transferring the liability to a third-party. The impact of this
settlement on our results of operations was not material. The measurement date for the plan is December 31.
