In 2011, we entered into a 10-year patent cross-license agreement with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.

The license is a life-of-patents license for existing patents and applications, and a 10-year term license for all other patents.

Other operating expense for 2012 included $17 million from the termination of a lease with IMFT, and a charge of $10 million to write off a receivable in connection with resolution of certain prior year tax matters.
