Under the agreements with the former owners, Eveready then held a call option to acquire, and the former owners then held a put option to sell, the noncontrolling interests at certain prices to be determined in accordance with the agreements. In September 2009, the agreements were amended to provide that the options would be exercisable for fixed prices to be paid in cash on September 1, 2010 in the case of Bullseye and on December 1, 2010 in the case of Rodrigue. The agreements for the noncontrolling interests of Bullseye and Rodrigue were exercised in September 2009 and December 2009, respectively, and the Company classified the maximum redemption amount as accrued expenses at December 31, 2009. On September 1, 2010 and December 1, 2010, respectively, the Company paid the required cash payments.

("Sturgeon"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sturgeon Services International, Inc., for a final purchase price of $14.9 million which included $13.0 million in cash (including $0.5 million of post-closing adjustments), $1.0 million related to the issuance of 16,000 shares of the Company's common stock and $0.9 million related to the buyout of operating leases. Headquartered in Bakersfield, California, Sturgeon specializes in hazardous waste removal and transportation, as well as on-site refinery industrial services. The Company anticipates that this acquisition will enhance its growing West Coast presence in a number of vertical markets including oilfield and refinery services.
