additional information regarding the "Supplier settlements"

if you enter into

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

disclose, to the

3. Revenue, page 81
3. Please address the following comments related to your revenue
recognition policies and
disclosures:
We note your disclosure on page 82 that you offer customers the
option to purchase
third-party extended warranty and service contracts that are
recognized on a gross
basis over the extended warranty coverage period. Please tell us
how you considered
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
net basis at the time the contracts are sold. In doing so,
describe to us the
pertinent terms of and parties involved with these extended
warranties, including the
nature of any third-party insurance companies, underwriters
and/or administrative
firms.
Tell us the amount of warranty and service revenues recognized
during the periods
presented and the consideration you gave to disclosing such
amounts pursuant to
ASC 606-10-50-5 and/or ASC 280-10-50-40. To the extent that
warranty revenues
contributed disproportionately, and materially, to your income
compared to your
other revenue streams, please advise.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings, page 95
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.
15. Equity-Based Compensation, page 97
6. Please provide the disclosures required by ASC 718-10-50-2(a)(1-2) for

responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
