                                 (UNAUDITED)


    
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) information excluding the restructuring and impairment
charges is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2011 financial
performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management
believes that excluding these items allows for a more meaningful
comparison of current period operating performance with the operating
results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as
analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material
impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management
considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews
and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes
that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide
insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial
performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for,
or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP.



(1) In 2010, restructuring costs related primarily to severance and lease
    termination costs for branches in the EMEA and APAC Commercial segments 
    that were in the process of closure at the end of 2009, as well as
    severance costs related to the corporate headquarters. In 2011,
    restructuring costs relate primarily to revisions of the estimated lease
    termination costs for EMEA Commercial branches that closed in prior
    years.

(2) Asset impairment charges relate to the write-off of incomplete software 
    projects in Europe.
