| (2) |  | Represents an other-than-temporary impairment charge related to an equity security. Because the trading price of this security remained below our cost basis for an extended period, we determined the investment was other than temporarily impaired and it was appropriate to write down the investment’s carrying value to its current estimated fair value.
| (3) |  | Represents impairment charges related to our CJES holdings. See Note 4 — Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.
| (4) |  | Represents an obligation associated with the decision to exit a non-core business line in the region of $1.1 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
