Included within amortization expense for 2010 was a charge of approximately $4 million related to changes in the estimated amount of contingent purchase consideration, which was paid during 2011. In 2011 this amount was not material.

Our indefinite-lived assets relate to trade names and trademarks acquired in various acquisitions. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies” above for a discussion of our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, our gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization was reduced by a total of $68.4 million due to asset retirements related to fully amortized intangibles, which consisted of trade names and trademarks of $2.8 million, subscriber relationships of $13.9 million and technology and other of $51.7 million. The retirement of these assets had no net impact on our consolidated and combined financial statements.
