disclosures:
•We note your disclosure on page 82 that you offer customers the option to purchase

the guidance in ASC 606, including ASC 606-10-55-36 through -40, in determining
that the revenues should be recognized on a gross basis over time as opposed to on a

nature of any third-party insurance companies, underwriters and/or administrative
firms.

5.We note your disclosure that there can be no assurance that your legal proceedings, either
individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on your business,
results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. To the extent it is reasonably
possible you will incur losses in excess of recorded accruals related to your contingencies,
please provide the applicable disclosures required by ASC 450-20-50-3 through -4,
including the amount or range of reasonably possible losses in excess of recorded
amounts. If an estimate of reasonably possible additional losses can be made and that
amount, both for each individual matter and in the aggregate, is not material to your
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, we will not object to a
statement to that effect. Alternatively, if no amount of loss in excess of recorded accruals
is believed to be reasonably possible, please state this in your disclosure. Although we
recognize that there are a number of uncertainties and potential outcomes associated with
loss contingencies, please note that ASC 450 does not require estimation of a reasonably
possible range of loss with precision or certainty.
