certain operations within the business process outsourcing and Latin America reporting units within the International segment and the reorganization of certain operations within the magazine, catalog and retail insert reporting unit within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment. In addition, the Company recorded $1.6 million of impairment charges of other long-lived assets and $17.0 million of other restructuring costs. The other restructuring costs included $13.6 million related to multi-employer pension plan partial withdrawal charges primarily attributable to two closed manufacturing facilities within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment, as well as lease termination and other facility closure costs. These costs were partially offset by the gain on the sale of a previously closed facility in the International segment. In 2009, these charges included $117.3 million, discounted for future cash payments, for the termination of a long-term significant customer contract in the business process outsourcing unit within the International segment, which allowed the Company to withdraw from certain unprofitable operations in this area. In addition, these charges included $7.5 million for workforce reductions of 344 employees (all of whom were terminated as of September 30, 2010) associated with actions resulting from the reorganization of certain operations. These actions also included the closing of one Latin America manufacturing facility within the International segment. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.2 million of impairment charges of other long-lived assets and $5.7 million of other restructuring costs, including lease termination and other facility closure costs. Management believes that certain restructuring activities will continue throughout the remainder of 2010, as the Company continues to streamline its manufacturing, sales and administrative operations.
