(1)Service cost relates to the market based cash balance plan. There is no service cost associated with traditional frozen defined benefit plans.

Service cost is recorded in salaries and related costs in our income statement, while all other components are recorded within miscellaneous, net under non-operating expense.

We also sponsor defined benefit pension plans for eligible employees in certain foreign countries which have immaterial obligations. These plans are not included in the net periodic cost table above.
