In the first quarter of 2011, we entered into a 10-year patent cross-license agreement with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. ("Samsung") under which we received a total of $275 million of cash.  For the second quarter and first six months of 2011, other operating income included gains of $40 million and $240 million, respectively, for cash received from Samsung under the agreement. We received an additional $35 million from this agreement in the third quarter of 2011. The license is a life-of-patents license for existing patents and applications, and a 10-year term license for all other patents.
