Postemployment and Postretirement Benefits The Company maintains a postretirement plan (the "Postretirement Plan") providing health coverage and life insurance benefits for substantially all of its U.S. employees hired before July 1, 2007. In 2009, the Company recorded a $4 million expense as a result of enhanced postretirement medical benefits under the Postretirement Plan provided to employees that chose to participate in a voluntary transition program. <div> The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its Postretirement Plan. The following table presents the status of the Company's Postretirement Plan recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 and 2009:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0"

The Company accounts for severance expense by accruing the expected cost of the severance benefits expected to be provided to former employees after employment over their relevant service periods. The Company updates the assumptions in determining the severance accrual by evaluating the actual severance activity and long-term trends underlying the assumptions. As a result of updating the assumptions, the Company recorded incremental severance expense related to the Severance Plan of $3 million in each of the years 2010, 2009 and 2008. These amounts were part of total severance expenses of $39 million, $135</fo nt> million and $33 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. </div> </div>Note 14.
