ultimately require payment. To estimate the ultimate count of future paid claims, we utilize actuarial techniques to quantify both the expected number of claims to be received and the percentage of those claims that will ultimately require payment.
Estimates for both of these elements (number and percentage of claims that will ultimately require payment) are quantified using a range of assumptions derived from the recent claim count history and the identification of factors influencing the
claim counts, including the downward trend in received claims due to the passage of time since production of the suspect material. For each of the various parameters used in our analysis, the assumed values combine to produce results that represent
our best estimate for the ultimate number of claims to be settled with payment. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>A number of factors make estimates of
the number of claims to be received inherently uncertain. We believe that production of the suspect material was confined to material produced from our Nevada facility prior to 2007, but are unable to determine the amount of suspect material
produced or the exact time it takes for surface flaking to become evident in the suspect material and materialize as a claim. Furthermore, the aforementioned 2009 class action settlement and related public notices led to a significant spike in
claims received in 2009 and disrupted the claims data and settlement patterns. Lastly, we are not aware of any analogous industry data that might be referenced in predicting future claims to be received. </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>The number of surface flaking claims received peaked in 2009 in conjunction with the class action settlement and then declined
significantly in 2010 and 2011, consistent with our belief that the effect of the 2009 spike in claims was largely an acceleration of claims previously expected to be filed in future periods. As a result of the effects of the class action settlement
and because the suspect material had not been produced since prior to 2007, we anticipated that the rate of decline in claims received would accelerate and the number of claims received would continue to decline significantly in 2012.

a result, we revised our estimate of the future claims to be received to reflect a rate of decline that incorporated levels experienced in 2012. Although the number of claims received continues
to decline each year, the effect of reducing the anticipated rate of decline increases the number of claims expected in future years. As a result of these changes in estimate, we recorded an increase to the warranty reserve of $20 million during the
three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2012. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Our analysis is based on currently known facts and a number of assumptions.
However, projecting future events such as the number of claims to be received, the number of claims that will require payment and the average cost of claims could cause the actual warranty liabilities to be higher or lower than those projected which
could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. We estimate that the number of claims received will continue to decline over time. If the level of claims received does not diminish consistent with our
expectations or if the cost to settle claims increases, it could result in additional increases to the warranty reserve and reduced earnings in future periods. We estimate that a 10% change in the expected number of remaining claims to be settled
with payment or the expected cost to settle claims may result in approximately a $3.0 million change in the warranty reserve. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>
