Additionally, the Company expects a third quarter gain of approximately $10 million from the sale of a property. The gain is expected to be more than offset by restructuring charges of approximately $12 million in the third quarter. These charges were incurred in connection with a restructuring plan involving the elimination of approximately 300 positions across various business segments and global geographies. The majority of the recurring positive financial impact from these actions is expected to benefit results in 2008.

Reported third quarter 2007 GAAP EPS are expected to range from $1.09 to $1.11, which includes a $0.03 net restructuring and other charge, as previously noted. Reported third quarter 2006 GAAP EPS were $1.06, which included a $0.06 pension accounting charge.

The Company anticipates softer economic conditions to continue through the fourth quarter. In view of these conditions, the Company is revising its comparable full-year 2007 EPS forecast to a range of $4.10 to $4.15, down from the previous EPS forecast range of $4.30 to $4.35. The revised full-year EPS forecast represents an improvement from comparable EPS in the prior year of $3.99. Reported full-year 2007 GAAP EPS are forecast to be in the range of $4.07 to $4.12, which includes the previously discussed charges from restructuring and other items. Reported full-year 2006 GAAP EPS were $4.04, which included a net $0.05 charge from tax law changes and a pension accounting charge.
