Item 8.01 Other Events

In April 2007, we received a letter from the Central Agency for Social Security Organisations in France regarding a modification to the calculation of payroll taxes under certain French social programs aimed at encouraging the employment of low-wage workers. This modification reduces the amount of payroll taxes that we are required to remit, and it is retroactive to January 1, 2006. We are currently in the process of determining the impact of this change in calculation, however, we currently estimate a favorable impact in the range of 1% (100 basis points) related to our France operating unit profit margin for 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. We expect to finalize and record the impact of this change in the second quarter of 2007.
