6. Investments At December 31, 2010, the Company had a 40.6% equity interest in Keymark Enterprises, LLC (“Keymark”), for which the Company accounted using the equity method. In March 2011, Keymark’s other owner defaulted on its loan and pledge agreement, entered into with the Company in October 2008, for the payment of the remaining balance of $0.7 million that was due in March 2011. As a result, the Company was assigned an additional 5.5% equity interest pursuant to the pledge agreement, which discharged the remaining debt and increased the Company’s equity interest in Keymark to 46.1%. During 2011, the Company purchased the software assets of Keymark valued at $11.5 million for $6.2 million in net cash payments and its 46.1% equity interest in Keymark. The transactions resulted in a gain of $4.3 million based on the difference between the fair value of the Company’s investment in Keymark less its carrying value of $1.0 million. The acquired software is used by customers of the Company in designing and engineering residential structures. The Company was also repaid $0.5 million for a loan made to Keymark in December 2009. As of December 31, 2011, the Company no longer had an equity interest in Keymark or any remaining receivables from Keymark.
