Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described below as well as in other Notes that follow.

Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include SPX Corporation's ("our" or "we") accounts after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Investments in unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence, but do not have control, are accounted for using the equity method. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation, including the results of discontinued operations, the impact of the adoption of the noncontrolling interest guidance described in the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification"), and the impact of the adoption of the guidance described in the Earnings Per Share Topic of the Codification that requires certain unvested share-based payment awards to be included in basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. See Note 3 for further discussion of the impact of adopting new accounting pronouncements. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 4 for information on discontinued operations).

During 2007, we recognized an income tax benefit of $13.5 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" relating to the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities associated with businesses previously disposed of and reported as discontinued operations, primarily during 2005. These additional gains should have been recorded in the period in which such businesses were disposed. In addition, an internal audit of a Japanese operation within our Test and Measurement segment uncovered employee misconduct and inappropriate accounting entries. Correction of this matter, substantially all of which related to periods prior to 2007, resulted in a reduction of "Income from continuing operations" (before and after taxes) of $7.4 during 2007. These entries included $2.4 of inventory write-downs, $2.0 of accounts receivable write-offs, and $3.0 in other adjustments. We have evaluated the effects of these corrections on prior periods' consolidated financial statements and concluded that no prior period is materially misstated. In addition, we have considered the effects of these corrections on our annual results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 and concluded that the impact is not material.

We evaluated subsequent events (see Note 3) through February 25, 2010, the issuance date of our consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2009, as this is the date on which we filed such financial statements on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Foreign Currency Translation — The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the Codification. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the current rate at the end of each period and income statement accounts are translated at the average rate for each period. Gains and losses on foreign currency translations are reflected as a separate component of shareholders' equity and other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net, with the related net gains/(losses) totaling $(21.0), $5.7 and $(2.7) in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Cash Equivalents — We consider highly liquid money market investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenues from product sales upon shipment to the customer (FOB shipping point) or upon receipt by the customer (FOB destination), in accordance with the agreed upon customer terms. Revenues from service contracts and long-term maintenance arrangements are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the agreement period. Revenues from certain long-term construction/installation contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Sales with FOB destination terms are primarily to automotive and power transformer industry customers. Sales to distributors with return rights are recognized upon shipment to the distributor with expected returns estimated and accrued at the time of sale. The accrual considers restocking charges for returns and in some cases the distributor must issue a replacement order before the return is authorized. Actual return experience may vary from our estimates. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in revenue. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded in cost of products sold. We recognize revenue separately for arrangements with multiple deliverables that meet the criteria for separate units of accounting as defined by the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Codification.

Sales incentive programs offered to our customers relate primarily to volume rebates and promotional and advertising allowances and are only significant to two of our business units. The liability for these programs, and the resulting reduction to reported revenues, is determined primarily through trend analysis, historical experience and expectations regarding customer participation. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenue) in our consolidated statement of operations.

Certain of our businesses, primarily within the Flow Technology, Test and Measurement and Thermal Equipment and Services segments, recognize revenues from long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion.

Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted long-term contracts, are made in the period in which such losses are determined. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on certain contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may be revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts have not been billed under the terms of the contracts. These amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract. Claims related to long-term contracts are recognized as revenue only after management has determined that collection is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. Claims made by us involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation. In the event we incur litigation costs in connection with claims, such litigation costs are expensed as incurred although we may seek to recover these costs. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably determinable.

We recognized $1,343.6, $1,367.2 and $1,039.1 in revenues under the percentage-of-completion method for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, from their inception, and related amounts billed as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

	2009			2008

Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts	$	2,176.1		$	2,070.1
Estimated earnings to date		460.6			543.3

		2,636.7			2,613.4
Less: Billings to date		(2,811.1	)		(2,755.3	)

Net billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings	$	(174.4	)	$	(141.9	)

These amounts are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 as shown below. Amounts for billed retainages and receivables to be collected in excess of one year are not significant for the periods presented.

	2009			2008

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings⁽¹⁾	$	193.6		$	195.7
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts⁽²⁾		(368.0	)		(337.6	)

Net billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings	$	(174.4	)	$	(141.9	)

⁽¹⁾: The December 31, 2009 and 2008 balances include $191.8 and 195.7 reported as a component of "Accounts receivable, net", respectively, and $1.8 and $0.0 as a component of "Other long-term assets", respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

⁽²⁾: The December 31, 2009 and 2008 balances include $357.0 and $323.4 reported as a component of "Accrued expenses", respectively, and $11.0 and $14.2 as a component of "Other long-term liabilities", respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Research and Development Costs — We expense research and development costs as incurred. We charge costs incurred in the research and development of new software included in products to expense until technological feasibility is established. After technological feasibility is established, additional costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release. These costs are amortized over the economic life of the related products and we include the amortization in cost of products sold. We perform periodic reviews of the recoverability of these capitalized software costs. At the time we determine that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, we write off any unrecoverable capitalized amounts. We expensed $58.7 of research activities relating to the development and improvement of our products in 2009, $67.2 in 2008 and $60.4 in 2007. In addition, we expensed purchased in-process research and development of $0.9 during 2007 related to the APV acquisition.

Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We use the straight-line method for computing depreciation expense over the useful lives of PP&E, which do not exceed 40 years for buildings and range from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Depreciation expense was $69.7, $67.3 and $53.8 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the related asset or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Interest is capitalized on significant construction or installation projects. There was no interest capitalized during 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Income Taxes — We account for our income taxes based on the requirements of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification, which includes an estimate of the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.

Derivative Financial Instruments — We use interest rate protection agreements ("Swaps") to manage our exposures to fluctuating interest rate risk on our variable rate debt, foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposures to fluctuating currency exchange rates, and forward commodity contracts to manage our exposures to fluctuation in certain raw material costs. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair values of both the derivatives and the hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivatives is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges, and the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, are recorded in current earnings. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

For those transactions that are designated as cash flow hedges, on the date the derivative contract is entered into, we document our hedge relationship, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. We also assess, both at inception and quarterly thereafter, whether such derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

Fair value estimates are based on relevant market information. Changes in fair value are estimated by management quarterly based, in part, on quotes provided by third-party financial institutions.

Use Of Estimates

(2) Use of Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues (e.g., our percentage-of-completion estimates described above) and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and base our estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements and related notes.

Listed below are certain significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain other estimates and assumptions are further explained in the related notes.

Accounts Receivable Allowances — We provide allowances for estimated losses on uncollectible accounts based on our historical experience and the evaluation of the likelihood of success in collecting specific customer receivables. In addition, we maintain allowances for customer returns, discounts and invoice pricing discrepancies, with such allowances primarily based on historical experience. Summarized below is the activity for these allowance accounts.

	Year ended December 31,

	2009			2008			2007
Balance at beginning of year	$	62.4		$	55.4		$	41.6
Acquisitions		0.2			5.0			8.8
Allowances provided		14.4			20.6			22.2
Write-offs, net of recoveries and credits issued		(16.8	)		(18.6	)		(17.2	)

Balance at end of year	$	60.2		$	62.4		$	55.4

Inventory — We estimate losses for excess and/or obsolete inventory and the net realizable value of inventory based on the aging of the inventory and the evaluation of the likelihood of recovering the inventory costs based on anticipated demand and selling price.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles Subject to Amortization — We continually review whether events and circumstances subsequent to the acquisition of any long-lived assets, or intangible assets subject to amortization, have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of those assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of those assets may not be recoverable. If events and circumstances indicate that the long-lived assets should be reviewed for possible impairment, we use projections to assess whether future cash flows on an undiscounted basis related to the assets are likely to exceed the related carrying amount to determine if a write-down is appropriate. We will record an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value of the assets exceed their fair values as determined by valuation techniques appropriate in the circumstances, which could include the use of similar projections on a discounted basis.

In determining the estimated useful lives of definite-lived intangibles, we consider the nature, competitive position, life cycle position, and historical and expected future operating cash flows of each acquired asset, as well as our commitment to support these assets through continued investment and legal infringement protection.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets — We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and continually review whether a triggering event has occurred to determine whether the carrying value exceeds the implied value. The fair value of reporting units is based generally on discounted projected cash flows, but we also consider factors such as comparable industry price multiples. We employ cash flow projections that we believe to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting units. Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end-markets that they serve. Accordingly, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future cash flow projections, including principal methods of competition, such as volume, price, service, product performance and technical innovations, as well as estimates associated with cost improvement initiatives, capacity utilization and assumptions for inflation and foreign currency changes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See Note 8 for further information, including discussion of impairment charges recorded in 2009 for our Service Solutions reporting unit and in 2008 for our Weil McLain subsidiary.

Accrued Expenses — We make estimates and judgments in establishing accruals as required under GAAP. Summarized in the table below are accrued expenses at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

	December 31,

	2009		2008
Employee benefits	$	199.6	$	241.8
Unearned revenue⁽¹⁾		462.0		524.5
Warranty		43.7		44.0
Other⁽²⁾		282.2		343.3

Total	$	987.5	$	1,153.6

⁽¹⁾: Unearned revenue includes billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition, customer deposits and unearned amounts on service contracts.
⁽²⁾: Other consists of various items, including legal, interest, restructuring and dividends payable, none of which individually require separate disclosure.

Legal — It is our policy to accrue for estimated losses from legal actions or claims when events exist that make the realization of the losses probable and they can be reasonably estimated. We do not discount legal obligations or reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries.

Environmental Remediation Costs — We expense costs incurred to investigate and remediate environmental issues unless they extend the economic useful life of related assets. We record liabilities and report expenses when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals cover anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation and operation and maintenance of clean-up sites. Our estimates are based primarily on investigations and remediation plans established by independent consultants, regulatory agencies and potentially responsible third parties. We do not discount environmental obligations or reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries.

Self-Insurance — We are self-insured for certain of our workers' compensation, automobile, product, general liability, disability and health costs, and we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liabilities. Our accruals for self-insurance liabilities are determined by management, are based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported, and generally are not discounted. Management considers a number of factors, including third-party actuarial valuations, when making these determinations. We maintain third-party stop-loss insurance policies to cover certain liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts; however, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures. The key assumptions considered in estimating the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and the estimated costs associated with incurred but not yet reported claims includes among other things, our historical and industry claims experience, trends in health care and administrative costs, our current and future risk management programs, and historical lag studies with regard to the timing between when a claim is incurred and reported.

Warranty — In the normal course of business, we issue product warranties for specific products and provide for the estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. We provide for the estimate of warranty cost based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. In addition, due to the seasonal fluctuations at certain of our businesses, the timing of warranty provisions and the usage of warranty accruals can vary period to period. We make adjustments to initial obligations for warranties as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable. The following is an analysis of our product warranty accrual for the periods presented:

		Year ended December 31,

		2009			2008			2007
Balance at beginning of year		$	58.8		$	60.0		$	53.0
Acquisitions			3.6			2.9			4.8
Provisions			24.0			20.2			26.9
Usage			(29.7	)		(24.3	)		(24.7	)

	Balance at end of year		56.7			58.8			60.0
Less: Current portion of warranty			43.7			44.0			43.0

	Non-current portion of warranty	$	13.0		$	14.8		$	17.0

Income Taxes — We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential contingencies in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these contingencies are classified as "Income taxes payable" and "Deferred and other income taxes" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on an expectation as to the timing of when the contingency will be resolved. As events change or resolution occurs, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities. These reviews also entail analyzing the realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss and credit carryforwards. When we believe that it is more likely than not that a net operating loss or credit carryforward may expire unused, we establish a valuation allowance against them. For tax positions where it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

Employee Benefit Plans — We have defined benefit plans that cover a portion of our salaried and hourly employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. We derive pension expense from an actuarial calculation based on the defined benefit plans' provisions and management's assumptions regarding discount rate, rate of increase in compensation levels and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Management determines the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets based upon historical actual asset returns and the expectations of asset returns over the expected period to fund participant benefits based on the current investment mix of our plans. Management determines the discount rate by matching the expected projected benefit obligation cash flows for each of the plans to a yield curve that is representative of long-term, high-quality (rated AA or higher) fixed income debt instruments as of the measurement date. The rate of increase in compensation levels is established based on management's expectations of current and foreseeable future increases in compensation. Management also consults with independent actuaries in determining these assumptions. See Note 10 for more information.

- Definition

Provides an entity's explanation that the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of management estimates. Estimates used in the determination of carrying amounts of assets or liabilities, or in disclosure of gain or loss contingencies should be disclosed if known information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that both of these criteria are met: (1) It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect on the financial statements of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements will change in the near term (less than one year from the date of issuance) due to one or more future confirming events, and (2) The effect of the change would be material to the financial statements. The disclosure should indicate the nature of the uncertainty and include an indication that it is at least reasonably possible that a change in the estimate will occur in the near term. Disclosure of the factors that cause the estimate to be sensitive to change also is encouraged. Entities also may identify those areas that are subject to significant estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

(3) New Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance that requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. In addition, under this guidance, acquisition costs are required to be expensed as incurred, acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies, in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset (until completion or abandonment of the research and development efforts) at the acquisition date, restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. A substantial number of new disclosures are also required under this guidance. The guidance is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2009 and we expect this statement will have (and has had with the acquisition of substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Yuba Heat Transfer, LLC — see Note 4) an impact on our consolidated financial statements for acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the terms and size of the acquisitions we consummate. During 2009, there were no settlements of acquisition-related liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits or reductions of acquisition-related valuation allowances.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance that established new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, noncontrolling interest (minority interest) is required to be recognized as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is to be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. In addition, a parent is required to recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. The guidance establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation by clarifying that all of those transactions are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Expanded disclosures regarding the interests of the parent and the noncontrolling interest are required. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2009. Upon adoption, we reclassified noncontrolling interest of $34.0 to a separate component of total equity within our consolidated balance sheet.

In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance that states that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders and should be included in basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2009. The effect of including these awards increased the basic and dilutive shares for 2008 by 0.550 and 0.297 shares, respectively, and in 2007 by 0.583 and 0.281 shares, respectively.

In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance amending employers' disclosures about assets of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The objective of the amended disclosures is to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of (1) how investment allocation decisions are made; (2) major categories of plan assets; (3) inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; (4) the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period; and (5) significant concentration risks within plan assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We adopted this guidance on December 31, 2009 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 10 for disclosures about assets of our defined benefit pension plans.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the requirements for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The guidance reiterates that an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency shall be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date during the measurement period. However, in the event the fair value cannot be determined during the measurement period, the Contingencies Topic of the Codification shall be applied. Contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer shall be recognized initially at fair value, and the acquirer shall develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies. In addition, the disclosed information should enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination that occurs either during the current reporting period or after the reporting period but before the financial statements are issued. This guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2009 and we expect it will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements for acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the terms and size of the acquisitions we consummate. Refer to Note 4 for the details of acquisitions consummated in 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance that requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual financial statements. The guidance requires disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the guidance on June 27, 2009 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance that requires an entity to disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the guidance on June 27, 2009 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements (see Note 1).

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities ("VIE") and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. The guidance no longer exempts qualifying special-purpose entities from the scope of the Consolidation Topic of the Codification. In addition, the amended guidance requires continuous reconsideration for determining whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of another entity, and ignores kick-out rights unless the rights are held by a single enterprise. Consolidation is required if an entity has power and receives benefits or absorbs losses that are potentially significant to the VIE. However, consolidation is not necessary if power is equally shared amongst unrelated parties. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a VIE. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance with the objective of establishing the Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The guidance does not change GAAP and is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted the guidance on September 26, 2009 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued guidance with the objective of amending revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance eliminated one previous revenue recognition criterion for which objective and reliable evidence of fair value for undelivered item(s), in a multiple element deliverable arrangement in which the delivered item or items are considered a separate unit or units, is no longer required. The guidance also determines a hierarchy for an entity to use when estimating the selling price of deliverables that meet the other two conditions for separation as follows: (1) vendor-specific objective evidence of the selling price, (2) third-party evidence of the selling price, or (3) an estimate of the selling price. In addition, the term "selling price" will replace all references to fair value in the guidance. The guidance also has eliminated the residual allocation method and requires an entity to apply the relative selling price allocation method in all circumstances where there is an absence of objective and reliable evidence for the delivered item(s) in an arrangement. Lastly, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures about the judgments and assumptions used in evaluating arrangements. Entities may elect to apply this guidance (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods presented. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted, however, if early adoption is made after the first interim reporting period, application must be made retrospectively to the beginning of that year and transition disclosures made. We do not plan on early adopting this guidance. We also do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance related to revenue recognition for certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The amendment was to the scope of prior guidance, such that all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential functionality will no longer be within the scope of the Software Revenue Recognition Topic of the Codification. That is, the entire product (including the software deliverables and non-software deliverables) would be outside the scope of revenue recognition guidance specific to software and would be accounted for under other accounting literature. Lastly, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures about the judgments and assumptions used in evaluating arrangements. Entities may elect to apply this guidance (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods presented. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted, however, if early adoption is made after the first interim reporting period, application must be made retrospectively to the beginning of that year and transition disclosures made. Further, this guidance may not be adopted until the guidance that amends revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables (as described above) is adopted. We do not plan on early adopting this guidance. We also do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance related to fair value disclosure requirements. The guidance adds new requirements for disclosures about (1) transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements in which a reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers, and (2) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, including the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs in which an entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. This amendment provides clarification for existing disclosures for (1) the level of disaggregation for fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and (2) as it relates to Levels 2 and 3 fair value measurements, disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements required for Levels 2 or 3. Lastly, this update amends guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. The guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirements to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions and Discontinued Operations

(4) Acquisitions and Discontinued Operations

We use acquisitions as a part of our strategy to gain access to customer relationships, new technology, expand our geographical reach, penetrate new markets and leverage our existing product, market, manufacturing and technical expertise. Further, as part of our operating strategy, we regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures, some of which are or may be material. As a result of this continuous review, we determined that certain of our businesses would be better strategic fits with other companies or investors. Acquisitions and divestitures for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are described below.

All business acquisitions consummated in 2009 have been accounted for in accordance with the Business Combinations Topic of the Codification and those acquisitions consummated prior to 2009 in accordance with the appropriate accounting guidance applicable at the time. Refer to Note 3 for the details of the amendments to the guidance. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of each acquired business since the date of acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at estimates of fair values as determined by management based on information available at the acquisition date. Management considers a number of factors, including third-party valuations or appraisals, when making these determinations. We will recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Refer to Note 8 for additional disclosure on the purchase price adjustments of the following acquisitions.

Acquisitions — 2009

In December, 2009, in the Thermal Equipment and Services segment, our SPX Heat Transfer Inc. subsidiary completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Yuba, a leading global supplier of heat transfer equipment utilized by nuclear, solar, geothermal, gas and coal power generation facilities, for a purchase price of $129.2. Yuba had revenues of approximately $128.8 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition. The pro forma effect of the acquisition and the results of operations since acquisition are not material to our results of operations.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at preliminary estimates of fair values as determined by management, based on information currently available and on current assumptions as to future operations, and are subject to change during the measurement period upon the completion of acquisition accounting, including the finalization of asset valuations and any working capital settlement.

Acquisitions — 2008

During September 2008, in the Test and Measurement segment, we completed the acquisition of Autoboss Tech, Inc., a China-based manufacturer of diagnostic tools and equipment serving China's vehicle maintenance and repair market, for a purchase price of $9.7. The acquired business had revenues of approximately $7.9 in the twelve months prior to its acquisition. The pro forma effect of the acquisition was not material to our results of operations.

Acquisitions — 2007

On December 31, 2007, in the Flow Technology segment, we completed the acquisition of APV, a global manufacturer of process equipment and engineering solutions for a purchase price of $524.2, including cash acquired of $41.7. APV's primary products include pumps, valves, heat exchangers and homogenizers for the food, dairy, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. APV had revenues of approximately $876.0 for the twelve months prior to its acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents our results of operations as if the acquisition of APV had taken place on January 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of our consolidated results of operations that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations. The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, these results do not include any anticipated cost savings or expenses of the planned integration of APV. These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments to actual financial results for the relevant periods, such as imputed financing costs, and estimated additional amortization and depreciation expense as a result of intangibles and fixed assets acquired.

		Year Ended December 31, 2007

Revenues		$	5,418.1
Income from continuing operations			240.6
Net income attributable to SPX Corporation common shareholders			242.7
Income per share from continuing operations attributable to SPX Corporation common shareholders:
	Basic	$	4.34
	Diluted	$	4.26
Net income per share attributable to SPX Corporation common shareholders:
	Basic	$	4.38
	Diluted	$	4.30

We expensed purchased in-process research and development of $0.9 during 2007.

In the Test and Measurement segment, we completed the acquisition of the European diagnostics division of Johnson Controls ("JCD") in August 2007, for a purchase price of $40.3. The acquired business had revenues of approximately $93.0 in the twelve months prior to its acquisition. In addition, we completed the acquisition of Matra-Werke GmbH ("Matra") in October 2007, within our Test and Measurement segment, for a purchase price of $36.6, including cash acquired of $2.9. The acquired business had revenues of approximately $26.0 in the twelve months prior to acquisition.

The pro forma effects of the acquisitions of JCD and Matra were not material individually or in the aggregate to our results of operations.

Discontinued Operations

We report businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when, among other things, we commit to a plan to divest the business or asset group, actively begin marketing the business or asset group, and when the sale of the business or asset group is deemed probable within the next twelve months. The following businesses, which have been sold, met these requirements and therefore have been reported as discontinued operations for the periods presented.

Filtran — Our original plan for disposition contemplated the buyout of the minority interest shareholder in order to allow us to sell 100% of the Filtran business. As a result of this planned divestiture, and in consideration of the contemplated buyout of the minority interest shareholder, we recorded a total impairment charge of $23.0 during 2008 in order to reduce the carrying value of the Filtran net assets to be sold to their estimated net realizable value. Of the $23.0 charge, $16.5 related to the premium we were expecting to pay the minority interest shareholder, while the remaining of $6.5 represented the loss we were anticipating upon the sale of 100% of the Filtran business. The $23.0 charge was recorded to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" within our 2008 consolidated statement of operations as presented in our 2008 Form 10-K.

As indicated in Note 3 herein, in December 2007, the FASB issued guidance which established new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. We adopted this guidance, which requires retroactive application, on January 1, 2009. Accordingly, we reclassified, within our 2008 consolidated statement of operations included herein, $16.5 of the 2008 impairment charge from "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" to "Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest". This reclassification had no impact on net income attributable to SPX common shareholders.

In October 2009, we completed the sale of the Filtran business for total consideration of approximately $15.0, including $10.0 in cash and a promissory note of $5.0. In connection with the sale, we did not buy out the minority interest shareholder and, thus, sold only our share of the Filtran business. As a result, we reclassified $16.5 of the impairment charge noted above from "Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest" to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" within our consolidated statements of operations in 2009. This reclassification had no impact on net income attributable to SPX common shareholders. In addition to the reclassification of the $16.5 impairment charge noted above, based on the amount of consideration received, we recorded an additional charge of $7.7 during 2009 to "Gain (Loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax".

Dezurik — Sold for total consideration of $23.5, including $18.8 in cash and a promissory note of $4.7, resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $1.6 during 2009. During 2008, we recorded a net charge of $6.0 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" in order to reduce the carrying value of the net assets to be sold to their estimated net realizable value.

Scales — Sold for cash consideration of $16.8, resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $4.7 during 2008.

LDS — Sold for cash consideration of $82.5, resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $17.1 during 2008. During 2009, we recorded a net charge of $5.1 in connection with an adjustment to certain liabilities that we retained and additional income tax expense related to the disposition.

Air Filtration — Sold for cash consideration of $35.7, resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $0.8 during 2008. During 2007, we recorded a net charge of $11.0 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" in order to reduce the carrying value of the net assets to be sold to their estimated net realizable value.

BD Austria — Sold for cash consideration of $11.6, exclusive of cash balances assumed by the buyer of $30.0, resulting in a net gain of $17.2 during 2007.

Nema — Sold for $6.8 in cash, net of cash balances assumed by the buyer of $0.4, for a net loss of $2.3 during 2007.

Contech — Sold to Marathon Automotive Group, LLC for net cash proceeds of $134.3. During 2007, we recorded a net loss on the sale of $13.6, including $7.0 of expenses that were contingent upon the consummation of the sale, which included $1.1 due to the modification of the vesting period of restricted stock units that had been issued to Contech employees (see Note 15 for further information), and a $6.6 charge, recorded during the first quarter of 2007, to reduce the carrying value of the net assets sold to the net proceeds received from the sale. During 2006, we recorded a charge of $102.7 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" in order to reduce the carrying value of the net assets to be sold to their estimated net realizable value.

During the second quarter of 2009, we committed to a plan to divest P.S.D., Inc., a business within our Industrial Products and Services segment. As a result of this planned divestiture, we recorded a net charge of $7.3 during 2009 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" in order to reduce the carrying value of the net assets to be sold to their estimated net realizable value. In February 2010, we completed the sale of P.S.D., Inc. for total consideration of approximately $3.0. We have reported, for all periods presented, the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of this business as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements.

During the third quarter of 2008, we reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding audits of our 2003 through 2005 Federal income tax returns. Upon the resolution of the examinations, we reduced our liability for uncertain tax positions and recognized an income tax benefit of $5.0 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" associated with a business previously disposed of and reported as a discontinued operation.

During the third quarter of 2007, we recognized an income tax benefit of $13.5 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" relating to the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities associated with businesses previously disposed of and reported as discontinued operations, primarily during 2005. See Note 1 for further details.

In addition to the businesses discussed above, we recognized a net gain of $11.8 during 2009 from businesses that were previously discontinued, resulting primarily from the reduction of liabilities for uncertain tax positions associated with statute expirations in certain tax jurisdictions. Along with the gains/(losses) recorded in 2008 relating to the Filtran, Dezurik, Scales, LDS and Air Filtration businesses, we recognized a net gain in 2008 of $0.5 resulting from adjustments to gains/(losses) on sales of businesses that were previously discontinued. Lastly, in addition to the gains/(losses) recorded in 2007 relating to the BD Austria, Nema, Contech and Air Filtration businesses discussed above, we recognized a net loss in 2007 of $7.3 resulting from adjustments to the gains/(losses) on sales of businesses that were previously discontinued, with such adjustments related primarily to a reduction in income tax liabilities.

The final purchase price for certain of the divested businesses is subject to adjustment based on working capital existing at the respective closing dates. The working capital figures are subject to agreement with the buyers or if we cannot come to agreement with the buyers, an arbitration process. Final agreement of the working capital figures with the buyers for some of these transactions has yet to occur. In addition, changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur. It is possible that the purchase price and resulting gains/(losses) on these and other previous divestitures may be materially adjusted in subsequent periods. Refer to Note 11 for the tax implications associated with our dispositions.

For 2009, 2008 and 2007, income (loss) from discontinued operations and the related income taxes are shown below:

We have aggregated our operating segments into four reportable segments: Flow Technology, Test and Measurement, Thermal Equipment and Services and Industrial Products and Services. The factors considered in determining our aggregated segments are the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold or services provided, production processes, types of customers and distribution methods. In determining our segments, we apply the threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the Codification to operating income or loss of each segment before considering impairment and special charges, pensions and postretirement expense, stock-based compensation and other indirect corporate expense. This is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment.

Revenues by business segment, group of products and geographic area represent sales to unaffiliated customers, and no one customer or group of customers that, to our knowledge, are under common control accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for any period presented. Intercompany revenues among segments are not significant. Identifiable assets by business segment are those used in our operations in each segment. General corporate assets are principally cash, pension assets, deferred tax assets, certain prepaid expenses, fixed assets and our 44.5% interest in the EGS Electrical Group, LLC and Subsidiaries ("EGS") joint venture. See Note 9 for financial information relating to EGS.

Special Charges, Net

(6) Special Charges, Net

As part of our business strategy, we right-size and consolidate operations to improve long-term results. Additionally, from time to time, we alter our business model to better serve customer demand, fix or discontinue lower-margin product lines and rationalize and consolidate manufacturing capacity. Our restructuring and integration decisions are based, in part, on discounted cash flows to achieve our goals of increased outsourcing, reduced structural footprint, and maintaining profitability in a difficult economic environment. As a result of our strategic review process, we recorded net special charges of $73.1 in 2009, $17.2 in 2008, and $5.2 in 2007. These net special charges were primarily for restructuring initiatives to consolidate manufacturing and sales facilities, reduce workforce, and rationalize certain product lines.

The components of the charges have been computed based on actual cash payouts, including severance and other employee benefits based on existing severance policies and local laws and other estimated exit costs, and our estimate of the realizable value of the affected tangible and intangible assets.

Impairments of long-lived assets, including amortizable intangibles, which represent non-cash asset write-downs, typically arise from business restructuring decisions that lead to the disposition of assets no longer required in the restructured business. For these situations, we recognize a loss when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Fair values for assets subject to impairment testing are determined primarily by management, taking into consideration various factors including third-party appraisals, quoted market prices and previous experience. If an asset remains in service at the decision date, the asset is written down to its fair value and the resulting net book value is depreciated over its remaining economic useful life. When we commit to a plan to sell an asset, including the initiation of a plan to locate a buyer, and it is probable that the asset will be sold within one year based on its current condition and sales price, depreciation of the asset is discontinued and the asset is classified as an asset held for sale. The asset is written down to its fair value less any selling costs.

Liabilities for exit costs, including, among other things, severance, other employee benefit costs and operating lease obligations on idle facilities, are measured initially at their fair value and recorded when incurred.

Special charges for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are described in more detail below and in the applicable sections that follow.

⁽²⁾: Balance reflects impairment charges of $6.1 and $8.9 recorded in 2009 and 2008, respectively, associated with businesses within our Thermal Equipment and Services segment.

Amortization expense was $21.5, $25.7 and $17.8 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Estimated amortization expense related to these intangible assets is $25.4 in 2010, $23.4 in 2011, $22.4 in 2012 and $21.7 in 2013 and 2014.

At December 31, 2009, the net carrying value of net intangible assets with determinable lives consisted of $146.5 in the Flow Technology segment, $72.9 in the Test and Measurement segment, and $69.4 in the Thermal Equipment and Services segment. Trademarks with indefinite lives consisted of $206.9 in the Flow Technology segment, $53.4 in the Test and Measurement segment, $140.4 in the Thermal Equipment and Services segment and $15.0 in the Industrial Products and Services segment.

Consistent with the requirements of the Intangible — Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification, the fair values of our reporting units generally are estimated using discounted cash flow projections that we believe to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting units. Other considerations are also incorporated, including comparable industry price multiples. Many of our reporting units closely follow changes in the industries and end-markets that they serve. Accordingly, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future cash flow projections, including principal methods of competition such as volume, price, service, product performance and technical innovations and estimates associated with cost improvement initiatives, capacity utilization and assumptions for inflation and foreign currency changes. Any significant change in market conditions and estimates or judgments used to determine expected future cash flows that indicate a reduction in carrying value may give rise to impairment in the period that the change becomes known.

We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter in conjunction with our annual financial planning process, with such testing based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test goodwill for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. In connection with our annual goodwill impairment testing in 2008, we determined that the fair value of our Service Solutions reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of its net assets by less than 10%, as its projected, near-term cash flows were being negatively impacted by the challenging conditions within the automotive market. As the challenging conditions continued into 2009, we updated our Service Solutions goodwill impairment analysis during each of the first three quarters of the year. For each of these quarters, our analysis indicated that the fair value of Service Solutions exceeded the carrying value of its net assets. Our annual goodwill impairment analysis for 2008 and the analyses during each of the first three quarters of 2009 reflected our view that the automotive market would begin to experience a recovery in 2010. By the fourth quarter of 2009, it became apparent that the recovery would not occur as quickly as originally anticipated. In response, we adjusted our future cash flow projections for Service Solutions in connection with our 2009 annual goodwill impairment analysis. Such analysis indicated that the fair value of our Service Solutions reporting unit was less than the carrying value of its net assets. We then estimated the implied fair value of Service Solutions' goodwill, which resulted in an impairment charge related to such goodwill of $187.7. The impairment charge of $187.7 is composed of (i) a $78.1 difference between the estimated fair value of Service Solutions compared to the carrying value of its net assets, and (ii) an allocation to certain tangible and intangible assets of $109.6 for the estimated increases in fair value for these assets solely for purposes of applying the impairment provisions of the Intangible — Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification. After the impairment charge, goodwill for the Service Solutions reporting unit totaled $155.0 as of December 31, 2009. The estimated fair value for each of our other reporting units exceeds the carrying value of their respective net assets by at least 10.0%. We will continue to monitor impairment indicators across all of our reporting units.

In addition to the goodwill impairment charge of $187.7, our Service Solutions reporting unit recorded an impairment charge related to other intangible assets of $1.0 during 2009.

As of December 31, 2008, we determined that the fair value of our Weil McLain subsidiary was less than the carrying value of its net assets. As a result, we recorded charges of $123.0 related to the impairment of goodwill $(114.1) and other intangible assets $(8.9).

In connection with our annual impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2007, we determined that other intangible assets held by a business within our Thermal Equipment and Services segment were impaired and we recorded an impairment charge of $4.0.

Employee Benefit Plans

(10) Employee Benefit Plans

Overview — We have defined benefit pension plans that cover a portion of our salaried and hourly paid employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Beginning in 2001, we discontinued providing these pension benefits generally to newly hired employees. In addition, we no longer provide service credits to certain active participants. Of the U.S. employees covered by a defined benefit pension and actively accruing a benefit, most are covered by an account balance plan or are part of a collectively bargained plan.

We have domestic postretirement plans that provide health and life insurance benefits for certain retirees and their dependents. Beginning in 2001, we discontinued providing these postretirement benefits generally to newly hired employees. Some of these plans require retiree contributions at varying rates. Not all retirees are eligible to receive these benefits, with eligibility governed by the plan(s) in effect at a particular location.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Plan assets — Our investment strategy is based on the long-term growth of principal while mitigating overall risk to ensure that funds are available to pay benefit obligations. The domestic plan assets are invested in a broad range of investment classes, including domestic and international equities, fixed income securities and other investments. We engage various investment managers who are regularly evaluated on long-term performance, adherence to investment guidelines and ability to manage risk commensurate with the investment style and objective for which they were hired. Allowable investments under the plan agreements include equity securities, fixed income securities, mutual funds, venture capital funds, real estate and cash and equivalents. In addition, investments in futures and option contracts, commodities and other derivatives are allowed in commingled fund allocations to professional investment managers. Investments prohibited under the plan agreements include private placements and short selling of stock. No shares of our common stock were held by our defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Actual asset allocation percentages of each major category of our domestic and foreign pension plan assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, along with the targeted asset investment allocation percentages, each of which is based on the midpoint of an allocation range, are as follows:

Domestic Pension Plans

Employer Contributions—We currently fund U.S. pension plans in amounts equal to the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus additional amounts that may be approved from time to time. During 2009, we made contributions of approximately $4.3 to our qualified domestic pension plans and direct benefit payments of $4.4 to our non-qualified domestic pension plans. In 2010, we expect to make contributions of $12.9 to our qualified domestic pension plans and direct benefit payments of $4.1 to our non-qualified domestic pension plans.

Many of our foreign plan obligations are unfunded in accordance with local laws. These plans have no assets and instead are funded by us on a pay as you go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. In our foreign plans that are funded, we made contributions of $11.4 in 2009, which include $2.2 of contributions that relate to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations. In addition, in our foreign plans that are unfunded, we made direct benefit payments of $2.5 in 2009. In 2010, we expect to make $10.1 of contributions, which include $1.6 of contributions that relate to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations, and $2.5 of direct benefit payments to our foreign pension plans.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments—Following is a summary, as of December 31, 2009, of the estimated future benefit payments for our pension plans in each of the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate for five fiscal years thereafter. Benefit payments are paid from plan assets or directly by us for our non-funded plans. The expected benefit payments are estimated based on the same assumptions used at December 31, 2009 to measure our obligations and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service.

Estimated benefit payments:
(Domestic and foreign pension plans)

2013		79.7		11.1
2014		80.5		11.9
Subsequent five years		476.6		65.5

Obligations and Funded Status — The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of market interest rates. The combined funded status of our pension plans as of December 31, 2009 has declined since December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of lower discount rates being used to value the plans in 2009 compared to 2008. Our non-funded pension plans account for $135.5 of the current underfunded status, as these plans are not required to be funded. The following tables show the domestic and foreign pension plans' funded status and amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets:

The following is information about our pension plans that have accumulated benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of their plan assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008:

	Domestic Pension Plans				Foreign Pension Plans

	2009		2008		2009		2008

Fair value of plan assets		713.3		717.6		205.5		131.1

The accumulated benefit obligation for all domestic and foreign pension plans was $1,070.8 and $265.2, respectively, at December 31, 2009 and $949.6 and $206.7, respectively, at December 31, 2008.

Components of Net Periodic Pension Benefit Expense — Net periodic pension benefit expense for our domestic and foreign pension plans included the following components:

Domestic Pension Plans

	Year Ended December 31,

	2009			2008			2007
Service cost	$	8.0		$	7.6		$	8.3
Interest cost		66.2			65.7			64.0
Expected return on plan assets		(74.2	)		(78.0	)		(77.1	)
Amortization of unrecognized losses		22.0			21.6			33.1
Amortization of unrecognized prior service credits		(0.8	)		(0.7	)		(0.7	)
Curtailment/settlement loss		0.3			7.6			3.2

Total net periodic pension benefit expense		21.5			23.8			30.8
Less: Net periodic pension expense of discontinued operations		(0.3	)		(0.5	)		(3.5	)

Net periodic pension benefit expense of continuing operations	$	21.2		$	23.3		$	27.3

We recorded a pension settlement charge of $7.1 associated with $31.8 of lump-sum payments that were made to our former Chief Executive Officer in 2008. A pension settlement is recognized when the total lump-sum pension payments for a plan during the year exceed the sum of the service and interest costs components of pension expense for that year. The amount of the settlement is the immediate recognition of a portion of the plan's overall net loss in proportion to the amount of the benefit obligation being settled.

We review the pension assumptions annually. Pension income or expense is determined using assumptions as of the beginning of the year, while the funded status is determined using assumptions as of the end of the year. The assumptions are determined by management and established at the respective balance sheet date using the following principles: (i) the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is established based upon forward looking long-term expectations of asset returns over the expected period to fund participant benefits based on the target investment mix of our plans; (ii) the discount rate is determined by matching the expected projected benefit obligation cash flows for each of the plans to a yield curve that is representative of long-term, high-quality (rated AA or higher) fixed income debt instruments as of the measurement date; and (iii) the rate of increase in compensation levels is established based on management's expectations of current and foreseeable future increases in compensation. In addition, management considers advice from independent actuaries.

Postretirement Benefit Plans

Employer Contributions and Future Benefit Payments — Our postretirement medical plans are non-funded and have no plan assets, but are instead funded by us on a pay as you go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. In 2009, we made benefit payments of $16.1 (net of federal subsidies of $1.6) to our postretirement benefit plans. Following is a summary, as of December 31, 2009, of the estimated future benefit payments and expected federal subsidies for our postretirement plans in each of the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate for five fiscal years thereafter. The expected benefit payments and federal subsidies are estimated based on the same assumptions used at December 31, 2009 to measure our obligations and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service.

	Postretirement Payments, net of Subsidies		Postretirement Subsidies

2010	$	16.9	$	1.8
2011		16.5		1.8
2012		15.9		1.8
2013		15.2		1.8
2014		14.5		1.8
Subsequent five years		61.8		8.1

Obligations and Funded Status — The following tables show the postretirement plans' funded status and amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets:

		Postretirement Benefits

Amounts recognized in the balance sheet consist of:
	Accrued expenses	$	(16.4	)	$	(17.0	)
	Other long-term liabilities		(135.9	)		(131.3	)

	Net amount recognized	$	(152.3	)	$	(148.3	)

Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss (pre-tax) consist of:
	Net actuarial loss	$	49.8		$	42.7
	Net prior service credit		(5.8	)		(7.2	)

	Total accumulated comprehensive loss (pre-tax)	$	44.0		$	35.5

The net periodic postretirement benefit expense included the following components:

	Year Ended December 31,

	2009			2008			2007
Service cost	$	0.2		$	0.2		$	0.2
Interest cost		9.9			9.8			10.3
Amortization of unrecognized loss		3.0			3.8			4.8
Amortization of unrecognized prior service credits		(1.4	)		(1.3	)		(1.3	)

Net periodic postretirement expense	$	11.7		$	12.5		$	14.0

Other changes in benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in 2009 were as follows:


Current year actuarial loss	$	10.1
Amortization of actuarial loss		(3.0	)
Amortization of prior service credits		1.4

	$	8.5

The estimated amounts that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit expense in 2010 include net actuarial losses of $3.8 and prior service credits of $1.4.

Actuarial assumptions used in accounting for our domestic postretirement plans are as follows:

		Year Ended December 31,

		2009			2008			2007
Assumed health care cost trend rates:
	Heath care cost trend rate for next year		8.21	%		8.57	%		9.29	%
	Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)		5.00	%		5.00	%		5.00	%
	Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate		2019			2019			2014
Discount rate used in determining net periodic postretirement benefit expense			7.07	%		6.32	%		6.00	%
Discount rate used in determining net year-end postretirement benefit obligation			5.46	%		7.07	%		6.32	%

The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using the terms and conditions of our various plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates. It is our policy to review the postretirement assumptions annually. The assumptions are determined by management and are established based on our prior experience and management's expectation that future rates will decline. In addition, management considers advice from independent actuaries.

Assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement benefit plans. A percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have had the following effects on 2009 postretirement expense:

	1% Increase		1% Decrease

Effect on total of service and interest costs	$	0.5	$	(0.5	)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation	$	9.5	$	(8.6	)

Defined Contribution Retirement Plans

We maintain a defined contribution retirement plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan, eligible U.S. employees may voluntarily contribute up to 50% of their compensation into the Plan and we match a portion of participating employees' contributions. Our matching contributions are made in newly issued shares of company common stock and are issued at the prevailing market price. The matching contributions vest with the employee immediately upon the date of the match and there are no restrictions on the resale of common stock held by employees.

Under the Plan, we contributed, 0.347, 0.252 and 0.216 shares of our common stock to employee accounts in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the market value of shares as the shares are contributed to employee accounts. We recorded $17.4 in 2009, $19.2 in 2008 and $17.7 in 2007 as compensation expense related to the matching contribution.

We also maintain a Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan ("SRSP"), which permits certain members of our senior management and executive groups to defer eligible compensation in excess of the amounts allowed under the SRSP. We match a portion of participating employees' deferrals to the extent allowable under the plan provisions. The matching contributions vest with the participant immediately. Our funding of the participants' deferrals and our matching contributions are held in certain mutual funds (as allowed under the SRSP), as directed by the participant. The fair values of these assets, which totaled $44.7 at December 31, 2009, are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). In addition, the assets under the SRSP are available to the general creditors in the event of our bankruptcy and, thus, are maintained on our consolidated balance sheet within other non-current assets, with a corresponding amount in other long-term liabilities for our obligation to the participants. Lastly, these assets are accounted for as trading securities. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, we recorded additional compensation expense of $0.8, $0.7, and $0.5, respectively, relating to our matching contributions to the SRSP.

Certain hourly and collectively bargained employees participate in other defined contribution retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. These plans do not match employees' contributions in shares of company common stock, although company common stock is offered as an investment option under these plans.

			$	170.8		$	65.3

General Matters

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess deferred tax assets to determine if they will be realized and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, incorporating the results of local, state, federal and foreign tax audits in our estimates and judgments.

At December 31, 2009 we had the following tax loss carryforwards available: state tax loss carryforwards of approximately $291.2 and tax losses of various foreign jurisdictions of approximately $598.0. We also had U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $63.8. Of these amounts, approximately $4.5 expire in 2010 and $565.0 expire at various times between 2011 and 2029. The remaining carryforwards have no expiration date.

Realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss and credit carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration in the appropriate tax jurisdiction. We believe that it is more likely than not that certain of these net operating loss and credit carryforwards will expire unused and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets associated with these carryforwards. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings or tax planning strategies. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if our estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are significantly reduced or tax planning strategies are no longer viable. The valuation allowance increased by $26.2 in 2009 and $2.9 in 2008.

The amount of income tax that we pay annually is dependent on various factors, including the timing of certain deductions. These deductions can vary from year to year, and, consequently, the amount of income taxes paid in future years will vary from the amounts paid in the prior year.

Undistributed International Earnings

Undistributed foreign earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, we have made no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes for these foreign earnings. If these earnings were distributed, we would be subject to U.S. income taxes (subject to a reduction for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. At December 31, 2009, we had approximately $1,600.0 of undistributed foreign earnings for which no U.S. federal or state income taxes have been provided.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of December 31, 2009, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $120.9 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $105.3), of which $101.9, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate from continuing operations. Similarly, at December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $102.9 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $81.3) and $120.1 (net unrecognized benefits of $98.1), respectively.

We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax provision. As of December 31, 2009, gross accrued interest, excluded from the amounts above, totaled $21.9 (net accrued interest of $16.5), while the related amounts as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $21.3 (net accrued interest of $15.2) and $23.0 (net accrued interest of $14.9), respectively. There were no significant penalties recorded during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.

Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, we believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $40.0 to $50.0. The previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax issues including the ability to claim certain U.S. foreign tax credits, deductibility of interest expense in certain jurisdictions and other tax matters relating to prior acquisitions and dispositions.

The aggregate changes in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

	2009			2008			2007

Unrecognized tax benefit — opening balance	$	102.9		$	120.1		$	204.3
Gross increases — tax positions in prior period		29.8			19.2			4.1
Gross decreases — tax positions in prior period		(3.2	)		(0.3	)		—
Gross increases — tax positions in current period		11.2			7.7			15.0
Settlements		(5.8	)		(37.9	)		(101.1	)
Lapse of statute of limitations		(16.8	)		(1.9	)		(2.2	)
Change due to foreign currency exchange rates		2.8			(4.0	)		—

Unrecognized tax benefit — ending balance	$	120.9		$	102.9		$	120.1

Tax Contingencies

We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential contingencies when we determine that an uncertain position meets the criteria of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these contingencies are recorded in "Income taxes payable" and "Deferred and other income taxes" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on the expectation as to the timing of when the contingency will be resolved. As events change and resolution occurs, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities.

In 2009, the statute of limitations expired for various state income tax returns. As a result of these expirations, we recognized net tax benefits of $18.0 during 2009, with approximately $7.9 recorded to continuing operations and the remainder of $10.1 recorded to discontinued operations.

On August 28, 2008, we reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding audits of our 2003 through 2005 Federal income tax returns. Upon the resolution of these examinations, we reduced our liability for uncertain tax positions by $30.6. Of the $30.6 reduction in our liability for uncertain tax positions, $25.6 was recorded as an income tax benefit from continuing operations and $5.0 was recorded as an income tax benefit to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations" within our accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.

On September 4, 2007, we reached an agreement with the IRS regarding the tax returns for years 1995 through 2002. In connection with the resolution of these examinations, we reduced our liability for uncertain tax positions (including interest) during the year ended December 31, 2007 by $124.4. Of that reduction, $35.6 represented an amount accrued in excess of our final settlement (including tax, interest and penalties). The $35.6 reduction in our liability for uncertain tax positions was recorded as an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $16.8 and a decrease in goodwill of $18.8.

During 2007, we recorded an income tax benefit of $11.5 associated with a reduction in the statutory tax rates in Germany and the United Kingdom. In addition, we recorded an aggregate income tax benefit of $15.9 in 2007 associated with the settlement of various state matters and certain matters in the United Kingdom, an expected refund in China related to an earnings reinvestment plan, and the reversal of income taxes that were provided for prior to 2007.

The IRS currently is performing an audit of our 2006 and 2007 federal income tax returns. At this stage, the outcome of the audit is uncertain; however, we believe that any contingencies are adequately provided for. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly decrease within the next twelve months since it is reasonably possible that the examination will conclude within the next twelve months.

State income tax returns generally are subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective tax return. The impact on such tax returns of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination, administrative appeal or litigation.

We have various foreign income tax returns under examination. Currently, there are audits underway by Canadian tax authorities related to our 2000 to 2006 tax returns. The German tax authorities have commenced audits of certain income tax returns related to the 2002 to 2008 tax years. We believe that any contingencies related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.

An unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the quarter and year in which an adjustment is recorded or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process or we have not reached the final stages of the appeals process for any of the above matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.

Upon the conclusion of our disposition activities, as discussed in Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements, we may recognize an additional income tax provision or benefit.

Credit Facilities

On September 21, 2007, we entered into senior credit facilities with a syndicate of lenders that replaced our then-existing senior credit facilities, which were simultaneously terminated. These senior credit facilities provided for committed senior secured financing in the aggregate amount of $2,300.0, consisting of the following:

•

A term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 (balance of $600.0 at December 31, 2009) with a final maturity of September 2012;

•

A domestic revolving credit facility, available for loans and letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 with a final maturity of September 2012;

•

A global revolving credit facility, available for loans in Euros, British Pounds and other currencies in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $200.0 with a final maturity of September 2012; and

•

A foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount in various currencies up to the equivalent of $950.0 with a final maturity of September 2012.

In connection with the termination of our then-existing senior credit facilities, we incurred $3.3 of costs, including $2.3 for the write-off of deferred financing costs, $0.2 for an early termination fee and $0.8 for costs associated with the early termination of our then-existing interest rate protection agreements.

At December 31, 2009, we had $411.0 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to borrowings under the domestic revolving loan facility of $61.5 and to $127.5 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at December 31, 2009, we had $216.3 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facility after giving effect to $733.7 reserved for outstanding letters of credit.

The weighted-average interest rate of our outstanding borrowings, including the impact of Swaps, under the senior credit facilities was 4.48% at December 31, 2009.

We also may seek additional commitments for incremental term loan facilities or increases in commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving credit facility and/or the foreign credit instrument facility by up to an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 without the need for consent from the existing lenders.

We are the borrower under the term and revolving loan facilities, and certain of our foreign subsidiaries are (and others may in the future become) borrowers under the global revolving credit facility and the foreign credit instrument facility.

All borrowings and other extensions of credit under our senior credit facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.

The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by any borrower on behalf of itself or any of its subsidiaries. The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support our foreign operations.

The interest rates applicable to loans under our senior credit facilities are, at our option, equal to either an alternate base rate (the higher of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and (b) the prime rate of Bank of America) or a reserve adjusted LIBOR rate for dollars (Eurodollar) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (net of cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date). We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for Eurodollar borrowings. The fees charged and the interest rate margins applicable to Eurodollar and base rate loans are (all on a per annum basis) as follows:

Consolidated Leverage Ratio

Greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.0	0.35	%	0.35	%	1.75	%	0.35	%	1.3125	%	1.75	%	0.75	%
Between 2.00 to 1.0 and 3.00 to 1.0	0.30	%	0.30	%	1.50	%	0.30	%	1.125	%	1.50	%	0.50	%
Between 1.50 to 1.0 and 2.00 to 1.0	0.25	%	0.25	%	1.25	%	0.25	%	0.9375	%	1.25	%	0.25	%
Between 1.00 to 1.0 and 1.50 to 1.0	0.20	%	0.20	%	1.00	%	0.20	%	0.75	%	1.00	%	0.00	%
Less than 1.00 to 1.0	0.175	%	0.175	%	0.875	%	0.175	%	0.65625	%	0.875	%	0.00	%

The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of $18.75 for each quarter ending through September 30, 2011, and $112.5 for the quarters ending December 31, 2011 through June 30, 2012, with the balance due in September 2012.

Our senior credit facilities require mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions) by us or our subsidiaries. Mandatory prepayments will be applied first to prepay the term loan and then to repay amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility or the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). No prepayment is required to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days of the receipt of such proceeds.

We may voluntarily prepay loans under our senior credit facilities, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders' breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

Indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is guaranteed by:

•

Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary with specified exceptions; and

•

Us with respect to the obligations of our foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility and the foreign credit instrument facility.

Indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) and 65% of the capital stock of our material first tier foreign subsidiaries. If our corporate credit rating is "Ba2" or less by Moody's and "BB" or less by S&P, then we and our domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all our and their assets.

Our senior credit facilities require that we maintain:

•

A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and

•

A Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00.

Our senior credit facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We do not expect these covenants to restrict our liquidity, financial condition or access to capital resources in the foreseeable future. Lastly, our senior credit facilities contain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.

We are permitted under our senior credit facilities to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if our gross Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00. If our gross Consolidated Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $100.0 in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after September 21, 2007 equal to the sum of (i) $300.0 and (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative consolidated net income during the period from July 1, 2007 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial information is available preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration (or, in case such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit).

At December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all covenant provisions of our senior credit facilities, and the senior credit facilities did not impose any restrictions on our ability to repurchase shares or pay dividends, other than those inherent in the credit agreement.

Senior Notes

In December 2007, we issued in a private placement $500.0 aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior unsecured notes that mature in 2014. We used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the financing of our acquisition of APV (see Note 4). The interest payment dates for these notes are June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes are redeemable, in whole, or in part, at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to December 15, 2010, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.625%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If we experience certain types of change of control transactions, we must offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. These notes are unsecured and rank equally with all our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, but are effectively junior to our senior credit facilities. The indenture governing these notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and consummate some mergers. During the first quarter of 2009, these senior notes became freely tradable. At December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all covenant provisions of these senior notes.

In June 2003, we issued $300.0 of non-callable 6.25% senior notes that mature on June 15, 2011. The interest payment dates for these notes are June 15 and December 15 of each year. At December 31, 2009, $21.3 of these notes were outstanding. In December 2002, we issued $500.0 of callable 7.50% senior notes that mature on January 1, 2013. The interest payment dates for these notes are January 1 and July 1 of each year. At December 31, 2009, $28.2 of these notes were outstanding. Both of these note issuances are unsecured and rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, but are effectively junior to our senior credit facilities.

Other Borrowings and Financing Activities

Some of our businesses participate in extended accounts payable programs through agreements with lending institutions. Under the arrangements, our businesses are provided extended payment terms. As of December 31, 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under this financing agreement. As of December 31, 2008, the participating businesses had $7.3 outstanding under these arrangements. Additionally, certain of our businesses purchase goods and services under a purchasing card program and travel card program allowing for payment beyond normal payment terms. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the participating businesses had $31.5 and $40.6, respectively, outstanding under these arrangements. As these arrangements extend the payment of our businesses' payables beyond their normal payment terms through third-party lending institutions, we have classified these amounts as short-term debt.

We are party to a trade receivables financing agreement, whereby we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $130.0. Availability of funds may fluctuate over time given changes in eligible receivable balances, but will not exceed the $130.0 program limit. The facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for facilities of this type. The facility does not contain any covenants that we view as materially constraining to the activities of our business. As of December 31, 2009, we had $22.0 outstanding under this financing agreement, while there were no amounts outstanding under this financing agreement at December 31, 2008. Lastly, at December 31, 2009, we had $10.8 of available borrowing capacity under our trade receivables financing agreement.

Financial Instruments

(13) Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB guidance, which requires enhanced disclosures regarding an entity's derivative and hedging activities. The guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This adoption had no financial impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Swaps

We maintain Swaps to hedge interest rate risk on our variable rate term loan. These Swaps, which we designate and account for as cash flow hedges, have maturities through September 2012 and effectively convert the majority of our borrowing under our variable rate term loan to a fixed rate of 4.795% plus the applicable margin. These are amortizing Swaps; therefore, the outstanding notional value is scheduled to decline commensurate with the scheduled maturities of the term loan. As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate notional amount of the Swaps was $480.0.

In connection with the termination of our previously held Swaps, on September 21, 2007, we made a net cash payment of $0.4. In addition, we reclassified $0.8 from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") to "Loss on early extinguishment of debt."

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded an unrealized loss, net of taxes, of $16.8 and $25.8, respectively, to AOCI. In addition, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded a long-term liability of $28.0 and $42.0, respectively, to recognize the fair value of our Swaps.

Currency Forward Contracts

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows and to minimize their impact. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, British Pound, South African Rand and Chinese Yuan.

From time to time, we enter into currency protection agreements ("FX forward contracts") to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. In addition, some of our contracts contain currency forward embedded derivatives ("FX embedded derivatives"), as the currency of exchange is not "clearly and closely" related to the functional currency of either party to the transaction. Certain of our FX embedded derivatives and FX forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as deemed appropriate. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives' fair value are included in AOCI. These changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings as a component of revenues or cost of goods sold, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. To the extent that a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period it occurs. We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $100.2 and $129.8 outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The scheduled maturity of these contracts is $71.8 and $28.4 in 2010 and 2011, respectively. The unrealized loss, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI was $3.1 and $1.3 related to FX embedded derivatives and FX forward contracts, respectively, as of December 31, 2009.

Commodity Contracts

From time to time, we enter into forward contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials ("commodity contracts"). At December 31, 2009, the outstanding notional amount of commodity contracts was 1.3 million pounds of copper. We designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges and, to the extent these commodity contracts are effective in offsetting the variability of the forecasted purchases, the change in fair value is included in AOCI. We reclassify the AOCI associated with our commodity contracts to cost of products sold when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fair values of these contracts were $0.9 and $(7.2) (recorded as a current asset and a current liability, respectively). The unrealized gain, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI was $0.5 as of December 31, 2009, compared to an unrealized loss, net of taxes, of $5.8 as of December 31, 2008. We anticipate reclassifying the unrealized gain to income over the next 12 months.

The following summarizes the fair value of our derivative financial instruments:

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and temporary investments, trade accounts receivable, Swaps, and foreign currency forward and forward commodity contracts. These financial instruments, other than trade accounts receivable, are placed with high-quality financial institutions throughout the world. We periodically evaluate the credit standing of these financial institutions.

We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the above financial instruments, but have no other off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. We anticipate, however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but we do monitor the credit standing of counterparties.

Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to a large number of customers in a particular industry. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial conditions and obtain collateral or other security when appropriate. No one customer, or group of customers that to our knowledge are under common control, accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for any period presented.

Leases

We lease certain manufacturing facilities, offices, sales and service locations, machinery and equipment, vehicles and office equipment under various leasing programs accounted for as operating leases. The future minimum rental payments under operating leases with remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year are:

Year Ending December 31,

Total operating lease expense was $58.0 in 2009, $51.4 in 2008 and $44.5 in 2007. Capital leases were not material to any of the periods presented.

General

Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to those relating to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contract, intellectual property, and competitive claims), environmental matters, and risk management matters (e.g., product and general liability, automobile, and workers' compensation claims), have been filed or are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. Additionally, we may become subject to significant claims, of which we are currently unaware, or the claims, of which we are aware, may result in us incurring a significantly greater liability than we anticipate. This may also be true in connection with past or future acquisitions. While we maintain property, cargo, auto, product, general liability, and directors' and officers' liability insurance and have acquired rights under similar policies in connection with these acquisitions that we believe cover a portion of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures. In addition, we have increased our self-insurance limits over the past several years. While we believe we are entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures. However, we believe that our accruals related to these items are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnity will be resolved without material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These accruals totaled $308.5 (including $231.8 for risk management matters) and $340.9 (including $260.7 for risk management matters) at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of these amounts, $236.8 and $266.8 are included in "Other long-term liabilities" within our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, with the remainder included in "Accrued expenses."

Litigation Matters

On April 13, 2007, we settled a class action lawsuit by purchasers of our common stock alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a related ERISA class action lawsuit filed on behalf of participants in our employee benefit plans. Under the terms of the settlement, both class action lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice and our aggregate net settlement payment, after reimbursement by our insurer, was $5.1, which we paid into the settlement fund in May 2007. During 2006, we recorded the charge associated with the settlement.

In October of 2004, one of our Italian subsidiaries, SPX Cooling Technologies Italia, S.p.A., formerly Balcke Marley Italia, S.p.A., was notified that it was the subject of an investigation by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office. Following the assertion of preliminary defenses by SPX Cooling Technologies Italia S.p.A., the Public Prosecutor discharged our subsidiary from any responsibilities under such Italian Legislative Decree for several alleged acts of bribery. In addition, the judge responsible for this matter approved a plea-agreement, under which our subsidiary made a payment of Euro 1.2 in October 2008 and all remaining claims against our subsidiary were resolved. We recorded the liability associated with this matter in 2006.

We are subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In our opinion, these matters are either without merit or of a kind that should not have a material adverse effect individually or in the aggregate on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, we cannot assure that these proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

Our operations and properties are subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements relating to environmental protection. It is our policy to comply fully with all applicable requirements. As part of our effort to comply, we have a comprehensive environmental compliance program that includes environmental audits conducted by internal and external independent professionals, as well as regular communications with our operating units regarding environmental compliance requirements and anticipated regulations. Based on current information, we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and we are not aware of any violation that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have liabilities for site investigation and/or remediation at 99 sites that we own or control. In addition, while we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover the costs of site investigation and/or remediation, there can be no assurance that currently unknown matters, new laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations will not materially affect our business or operations in the future.

Our environmental accruals cover anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation, and operation and maintenance of clean-up sites. Our estimates are based primarily on investigations and remediation plans established by independent consultants, regulatory agencies and potentially responsible third parties. Accordingly, our estimates may change based on future developments, including new or changes in existing environmental laws or policies, differences in costs required to complete anticipated actions from estimates provided, future findings of investigation or remediation actions, or alteration to the expected remediation plans. It is our policy to realize a change in estimate once it becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. We do not discount our environmental accruals and do not reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries. We do take into account third-party indemnification from financially viable parties in determining our accruals where there is no dispute regarding the right to indemnification.

In the case of contamination at offsite, third-party disposal sites, we have been notified that we are potentially responsible and have received other notices of potential liability pursuant to various environmental laws at 27 sites at which the liability has not been settled, only 10 of which sites have been active in the past few years. These laws may impose liability on certain persons that are considered jointly and severally liable for the costs of investigation and remediation of hazardous substances present at these sites, regardless of fault or legality of the original disposal. These persons include the present or former owners or operators of the site and companies that generated, disposed of or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances at the site. We are considered a "de minimis" potentially responsible party at most of the sites, and we estimate that the aggregate probable remaining liability at these sites is immaterial.

We conduct extensive environmental due diligence with respect to potential acquisitions, including environmental site assessments and such further testing as we may deem warranted. If an environmental problem is identified, we estimate the cost and either establish a liability, purchase insurance or obtain an indemnity from a financially sound seller. However, in connection with our acquisitions or dispositions, we may assume or retain significant environmental liabilities, some of which we may be unaware. The potential costs related to these environmental matters and the possible impact on future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of government laws and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and effectiveness of various clean-up technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other types of recovery, and the questionable level of our responsibility. We record a liability when it is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Due to the uncertainties previously described, we are unable to reasonably estimate the amount of possible additional losses associated with the resolution of these matters beyond what has been previously recorded.

In our opinion, after considering accruals established for such purposes, remedial actions for compliance with the present laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Risk Management Matters

We are self-insured for certain of our workers' compensation, automobile, product and general liability, disability and health costs, and we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liability. Our accruals for risk management matters are determined by management, are based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported, and generally are not discounted. Management considers a number of factors, including third-party actuarial valuations, when making these determinations. We maintain third-party stop-loss insurance policies to cover certain liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts. This insurance may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against loss exposure.

Collaborative Arrangements

On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB guidance, which defines a collaborative arrangement as a contractual arrangement in which the parties are (1) active participants to the arrangements and (2) exposed to significant risks and rewards that depend on the commercial success of the endeavor. The guidance requires that costs incurred and revenues generated from transactions with third parties be reported by the collaborators on the appropriate line item in their respective income statements. Income statement characterization of payments between the participants to a collaborative arrangement is required to be based on other authoritative literature if the payments are within the scope of such literature. The footnotes to financial statements in the initial period of adoption and annually thereafter are required to disclose (1) the income statement classification and amounts attributable to transactions arising from collaborative arrangements between participants for each period for which an income statement is presented and (2) information regarding the nature and purpose of the collaborative arrangement, the collaborators' rights and obligations under the arrangement, and any accounting policies for the collaborative arrangement. Refer to our disclosure on consortium arrangements below.

We enter into consortium arrangements for certain projects within our Thermal Equipment and Services segment. Under such arrangements, each consortium member is responsible for performing certain discrete items of work within the total scope of the contracted work and the consortium expires when all contractual obligations are completed. The revenue for these discrete items of work is defined in the contract with the project owner and each consortium member bears the profitability risk associated with its own work. Our consortium arrangements typically provide that each consortium member assumes its responsible share of any damages or losses associated with the project; however, the use of a consortium arrangement typically results in joint and several liability for the consortium members. If responsibility cannot be determined or a consortium member defaults, then the remaining consortium members are responsible according to their share of the contract value. Within our consolidated financial statements, we account for our share of the revenues and profits under the consortium arrangements. As of December 31, 2009, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $440.7 (of which approximately 40.4% has been recognized thus far as revenue), whereas the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $1,015.2. As of December 31, 2008, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $316.3 (of which approximately 42.0% had been recognized as revenue), whereas the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $738.6. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded liabilities of $5.5 and $3.1, respectively, representing the estimated fair value of our potential obligation under the joint and several liability provisions associated with the consortium arrangements.

Executive Agreements

The Board of Directors has approved employment agreements for ten of our executives. These agreements have rolling terms of either one year or two years and specify the executive's current compensation, benefits and perquisites, the executive's entitlements upon termination of employment or a change in control, and other employment rights and responsibilities. In addition, three executive officers have outstanding non-interest bearing 20-year relocation home loans totaling $4.5 granted in connection with the 2001 move of our corporate headquarters. In the event of the death or permanent disability of the employee or a change in control of SPX, we will forgive the note and pay the employee or his estate an amount equal to the employee's tax liability as a result of the loan forgiveness.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended in 2006, the successor plan to the 1992 Stock Compensation Plan, up to 20.0 shares of our common stock may be granted to key employees and 5.555 of these shares were available for grant at December 31, 2009. The 2002 Stock Compensation Plan permits the issuance of new shares or shares from treasury upon the exercise of options, vesting of restricted stock units or restricted stock.

During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, we classified excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $1.7, $35.3 and $29.0, respectively, as financing cash flows and included such amounts in "Proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and other, net of minimum tax withholdings paid on behalf of employees for net share settlements" within our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Restricted stock or restricted stock units may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors in accordance with applicable equity compensation plan documents and agreements. Subject to participants' continued employment and other plan terms and conditions, the restrictions lapse and awards vest over three years. Market ("company performance") thresholds have been instituted for vesting of substantially all restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. This vesting is based on SPX shareholder return versus the S&P 500 composite index. On each vesting date, we compare the SPX shareholder return to the performance of the S&P 500 composite index for the prior year and for the cumulative period since the date of the grant. If SPX outperforms the S&P 500 composite index for the prior year, the one-third portion of the grant associated with that year will vest. If SPX outperforms the S&P composite index for the cumulative period, any unvested portion of the grant that was subject to vesting on or prior to the vesting date will vest. Restricted stock and restricted stock units that do not vest within the three-year vesting period are forfeited.

We grant restricted stock to non-employee directors under the 2006 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Incentive Plan (the "Directors' Plan"). Under the Directors' Plan, up to 0.100 shares of our common stock may be granted to non-employee directors and 0.053 of these shares were available for grant at December 31, 2009. Restricted stock has a three-year vesting period based on SPX shareholder return versus the S&P 500 composite index, which are subject to the same company performance thresholds for employee awards described in the preceding paragraph. Restricted stock that does not vest within the three-year vesting period in accordance with these performance requirements is forfeited.

Stock options may be granted to key employees in the form of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, vest ratably over three years, which vesting may be subject to performance criteria, and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. The option price per share may be no less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise, the employee has the option to surrender previously owned shares at current value in payment of the exercise price and/or for withholding tax obligations, and, subject to certain restrictions, may receive a reload option having an exercise price equal to the current market value for the number of shares so surrendered. The reload option expires at the same time that the exercised option would have expired. Any future issuances of options under the plan will not have a reload feature, pursuant to the terms of the plan.

The recognition of compensation expense for share-based awards, including stock options, is based on their grant date fair values. The fair value of each award is amortized over the lesser of the award's requisite or derived service period, which is generally up to three years. There was no stock option expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Stock option expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $0.2. Compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units totaled $27.6, $41.5 and $39.3 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no option grants in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

We use the Monte Carlo simulation model valuation technique to determine fair value of our restricted stock and restricted stock units as they contain a "market condition." The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award and calculates the fair value of each restricted stock and restricted stock unit award. We used the following assumptions in determining the fair value of the awards granted on January 2, 2009 and January 2, 2008:



January 2, 2009:
SPX Corporation	52.7	%	2.31	%	1.12	%	0.7272
S&P 500 Composite Index	26.2	%	n/a		1.12	%
January 2, 2008:
SPX Corporation	26.5	%	0.98	%	2.85	%	0.4913
S&P 500 Composite Index	12.4	%	n/a		2.85	%

Annual expected stock price volatility is based on the three-year historical volatility. The annual expected dividend yield is based on annual expected dividend payments and the stock price on the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the one-year through three-year daily treasury yield curve rate as of the grant date.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The following table summarizes the restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity from December 31, 2006 through December 31, 2009:

			Weighted-average Grant-Date Fair Value per share

Outstanding at December 31, 2006	1.525		$	36.95
Granted	0.815			46.24
Vested	(0.835	)		41.83
Forfeited	(0.127	)		36.93

Outstanding at December 31, 2007	1.378			40.49
Granted	0.641			74.62
Vested	(0.703	)		38.78
Forfeited	(0.065	)		55.93

Outstanding at December 31, 2008	1.251			58.01
Granted	0.667			33.42
Vested	(0.429	)		41.75
Forfeited	(0.054	)		54.61

Outstanding at December 31, 2009	1.435			51.75

As of December 31, 2009, there was $10.5 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock and restricted stock unit compensation arrangements. We expect this cost to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

In conjunction with the sale of Contech in April 2007 (see Note 4), we modified the existing outstanding awards issued to certain Contech employees by removing all restrictions associated with 0.046 restricted stock units and accelerating the vesting period to the effective date of the modification. This modification resulted in 0.031 shares issued, 0.015 shares withheld related to the SPX minimum required tax withholdings and expense recorded of $1.1, net of tax, as part of the loss on disposition of discontinued operations.

Stock Options

The following table shows stock option activity from December 31, 2006 through December 31, 2009:

			Weighted Average Exercise Price

Options outstanding at December 31, 2006	4.836		$	60.97
Exercised	(2.287	)		54.41
Terminated	(0.175	)		67.65

Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2007	2.374			66.80
Exercised	(1.051	)		69.26
Terminated	(0.015	)		60.29

Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2008	1.308			64.89
Exercised	(0.154	)		39.69
Terminated	(0.273	)		94.80

Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2009	0.881			59.86

The weighted-average remaining term, in years, of options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2009 was 1.9. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable on December 31, 2009 was 0.430. Aggregate intrinsic value (market value of stock less option exercise price) represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price on December 31, 2009, which would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money option holders exercised their options as of that date. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding and the exercisable at December 31, 2009 was $4.8. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $2.7, $52.5 and $65.4, respectively.

Treasury Stock

In 2009, we repurchased 2.625 shares (all of which were associated with written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of our common stock on the open market, for total cash consideration of $113.2. We record common stock repurchases based on the settlement date. The covenants under our senior credit facilities contain certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common stock. See Note 12 for discussion of our ability to repurchase shares under our current senior credit facilities.

Preferred Stock

None of our 3.0 shares of authorized no par value preferred stock was outstanding at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Retained Earnings

During 2006, we recorded an income tax benefit of $33.2 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" relating to the sale of our Dock Products business. In the first quarter of 2010, it was determined that the income tax benefit recorded during 2006 to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" was overstated by $20.0 resulting from an incorrect calculation of the Dock Products' income tax basis. We have evaluated the effects of this misstatement on our 2006 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the guidance provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, codified as SAB Topic 1.N, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements, ("SAB No. 108")" and concluded that no prior period is materially misstated. To correct this misstatement and as permitted by SAB No. 108, we have (i) reduced beginning retained earnings, SPX's shareholders' equity, and total equity and (ii) increased income taxes payable by $20.0 for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value

(16) Fair Value

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted fair value measurements, as required by the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic of the Codification, for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. We adopted these fair value measurements for our financial assets and liabilities during 2008. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) or significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Our financial derivative assets and liabilities include Swaps, FX forward contracts, FX embedded derivatives and commodity contracts that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risk. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments to be active.

As of December 31, 2009, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk, as the related agreements are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there has been no significant impact to the valuation of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risk.

We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis included the following as of December 31, 2009:

	Fair Value Measurements Using

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Current assets — FX embedded derivatives, FX forward contracts and commodity contracts	$	—	$	1.3	$	—
Noncurrent assets — FX embedded derivatives		—		0.9		—
Current liabilities — FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives		—		1.7		—
Long-term liabilities — FX embedded derivatives and Swaps		—		38.1		—

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis included the following as of December 31, 2008:

	Fair Value Measurements Using

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Current assets — FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives	$	—	$	0.6	$	—
Noncurrent assets — FX embedded derivatives		—		8.9		—
Current liabilities — FX forward contracts and commodity contracts		—		10.1		—
Long-term liabilities — Swaps		—		42.0		—

In connection with our annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2009, we determined that the fair value of our Service Solutions reporting unit was less than the carrying value of its net assets (see Note 8). The fair value of the reporting unit was based upon weighting of the income and market approaches, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows, as well as valuation multiples derived from comparable publicly traded companies that are applied to the historical and projected operating results of the reporting unit (unobservable inputs — Level 3). We estimated the implied fair value of Service Solutions' goodwill, which resulted in an impairment charge related to such goodwill of $187.7. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.0 related to other intangible assets of Service Solutions. The fair value of these intangibles was determined based on a projection of cash flows for the assets discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows (unobservable input — Level 3).

In connection with our annual impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2009, we determined that trademarks held by a business within our Thermal Equipment and Services segment were impaired and, thus, we recorded an impairment charge of $6.1. The fair value was determined by applying an estimated royalty rate to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions; which are unobservable inputs (Level 3).

We recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $20.8 (to "gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax") in order to reduce the carrying value of the net assets of Filtran and P.S.D., Inc. (businesses within our Industrial Products and Services segment — see Note 4) to their estimated fair values. In both cases, the estimated fair values were based on indications of interest (i.e., unobservable inputs — Level 3). In additon, we recorded impairment charges of $11.1 during 2009 to "Special charges, net" related to assets to be disposed in connection with certain restructuring initiatives. The fair values were based on the estimated selling prices for these assets. We determined the estimated selling prices by obtaining information in the specific markets being evaluated, including comparable sales of similar assets and assumptions about demand in the market for these assets (unobservable inputs — Level 3).

The carrying amount of cash and equivalents and receivables reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

The fair value of our debt instruments, based on borrowing rates available to us at December 31, 2009 for similar debt, was $1,283.9 at December 31, 2009, compared to our carrying value of $1,279.0.

During the third quarter of 2008, we recorded income tax benefits of $25.6 and $5.0 to continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively, in connection with the finalization of the audits of our 2003 through 2005 Federal income tax audits.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded tax benefits of $4.9 associated with the loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary. In addition, we recorded tax benefits of $16.5 in the fourth quarter of 2009 related to a reduction in liabilities for uncertain tax positions associated with statute expirations and audit settlements in certain tax jurisdictions, with $6.4 related to continuing operations and $10.1 to discontinued operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded $188.7 of charges related to the impairment of goodwill $(187.7) and other intangible assets $(1.0) at our Service Solutions reporting unit.

During the third quarter of 2008, we committed to a plan to divest our Scales business. As a result of the planned divesture, we recorded a net charge of $1.2 during the third quarter of 2008 to reduce the carrying value of the related net assets to be sold to their estimated net realizable value. During the fourth quarter, we sold our Scales business, resulting in an additional net loss of $3.5.

We sold LDS during the fourth quarter of 2008, resulting in a net gain of $17.1.

During the third quarter of 2008, we committed to a plan to divest the Dezurik business within our Flow Technology ("Dezurik") segment. As a result of the planned divestiture, we recorded net charges of $1.2 and $4.8 in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, respectively, in order to reduce the carrying value of the related net assets to be sold to their estimated net realizable value. During the first quarter of 2009, we completed the sale of Dezurik for $23.5.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we committed to a plan to divest the Filtran business within our Industrial Products and Services segment. As a result of this planned divestiture, and in consideration of the contemplated buyout of the minority interest shareholder, we recorded a total impairment charge of $23.0 during the fourth quarter of 2008 in order to reduce the carrying value of the Filtran net assets to be sold to their estimated net realizable value. Of the $23.0 charge, $16.5 related to the premium we were expecting to pay the minority interest shareholder, while the remaining of $6.5 represented the loss we were anticipating upon the sale of 100% of the Filtran business. The $23.0 charge was recorded to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" within our 2008 consolidated statement of operations.

As noted in Note 3 herein, in December 2007, the FASB issued guidance which established new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. We adopted this guidance, which requires retroactive application, on January 1, 2009. As such, we reclassified $16.5 of the fourth quarter 2008 impairment charge from "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" to "Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest" within our 2008 consolidated statement of operations and the fourth quarter 2008 quarterly results included herein.

During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded an additional impairment charge of $8.5 based on current indications of interest for the business, with all of the charge recorded to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax".

In October 2009, we completed the sale of the Filtran business for total consideration of $15.0. In connection with the sale, we did not buy out the minority interest shareholder and, thus, sold only our share of the Filtran business. As a result, we reclassified $16.5 of the impairment charge noted above from "Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest" to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" within our consolidated statements of operations in 2009 and the third quarter 2009 quarterly results included herein.

⁽⁴⁾

Amounts presented differ from amounts previously reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q due to the classification of certain of our businesses as discontinued operations.

⁽⁵⁾

It is our practice to establish actual interim closing dates using a "fiscal" calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter for efficiency purposes. The effects of this practice only impact the quarterly reporting periods and not the annual reporting period. We had two fewer days in the first quarter of 2009 and one additional day in the fourth quarter of 2009 when compared to the respective 2008 periods.

- Definition

This element can be used to disclose the entire quarterly financial data disclosure in the annual financial statements as a single block of text. The disclosure includes a tabular presentation of financial information for each fiscal quarter for the current and previous year, including revenues, gross profit, income (loss) before extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and earnings per share data. It also includes an indication if the information in the note is unaudited, comments on the aggregate effect of year-end adjustments, and an explanation of matters or transactions that affect comparability or are pertinent to an understanding of the information furnished. Alternatively, the details of this disclosure can be reported using the elements in this group, or by using other taxonomy elements and applying the appropriate quarterly date and period contexts when creating an instance document. For example, the element for "Interest and Dividend Income, Operating" may be used by financial institutions from the Statement of Income, applying the appropriate quarterly date and period context when creating an instance document.

Amendment Description	This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 26, 2010. This amendment is being filed for the purpose of restating certain amounts in the Selected Financial Data in Item 6 and the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Item 8.The restatement is the result of a misstatement that was identified during the first quarter of 2010 of an income tax benefit recorded during 2006 to discontinued operations. We evaluated the effects of this misstatement on our 2006 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the guidance provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, codified as SAB Topic 1.N, "Considering the Effects of Prior Period Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements,("SAB No. 108")" and concluded that no prior period is materially misstated. However, as permitted by SAB No. 108, we are amending our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 to correct for this misstatement. Refer to Item 6 and Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 for further discussion of the restatement. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A has not been updated for events occurring after the filing of the original Annual Report on Form 10-K on February 26, 2010, except to reflect the restatement as described above.
