Share Repurchase Plan	Note 9. Share Repurchase Plan On December 14, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share buy-back plan, which was to be in effect through December 13, 2011, and authorized the Company to acquire up to $25.0 million of its outstanding shares. On April 4, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to this existing $25.0 million share buy-back plan to authorize the Company to acquire an additional $35.0 million of its outstanding shares and to extend the expiration date of the plan to April 4, 2013. As a result, the Company was authorized to acquire shares of its common stock in the aggregate amount of $60.0 million, less the amount utilized to date. Under the plan, the Company was authorized to acquire its outstanding shares on such terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Company's Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and subject to lender approval from Prudential Capital, up until the date on which the term loan with this lender was paid in full, and in compliance with all laws and regulations applicable thereto. During the period from December 14, 2010 through November 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 1,484,912 shares at a total cost of $60.0 million. As a result, the Company utilized the entire authorized amount and completed the repurchases under this share buy-back plan. See Note 15 – Subsequent Events for details on a new $50.0 million share buy-back plan that was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on December 13, 2011.
