Commitments and Contingencies

Leases: The Company leases buildings and equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2033. Certain leases include renewal and/or purchase options, which may be exercised by us. As of the year ended 2013, future minimum annual lease payments by year and, in the aggregate, under non-cancelable lease agreements with original terms of one year or more consisted of the following (in thousands):



2014	$	28,017
2015	24,264
2016	18,860
2017	15,928
2018	11,987
Thereafter	20,337
Total	$	119,393

Rent expense was $26.6 million, $25.6 million and $26.4 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Environmental: The Company is involved in certain environmental matters and has been designated as a potentially responsible party for certain hazardous waste sites. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Nashua, Nashua was involved in certain environmental matters and was designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) as a potentially responsible party for certain hazardous waste sites. In addition, Nashua had been notified by certain state environmental agencies that Nashua may bear responsibility for remedial action at other sites which have not been addressed by the EPA. The sites at which Nashua may have remedial responsibilities are in various stages of investigation and remediation. Due to the unique physical characteristics of each site, the remedial technology employed, the extended time-frames of each remediation, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the financial viability of other potential participants, the ultimate range of outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty; therefore, the Company’s ultimate cost of remediation is an estimate and is contingent on these factors. Based on information currently available, the Company believes that Nashua’s remediation expense, if any, is not likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. As of the years ended 2013 and 2012, the undiscounted liability relating to the Company’s environmental matters was $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, primarily the amount recorded on Nashua’s acquisition date, and is included in other liabilities. There have been no material changes related to these environmental matters and, based on information currently available, the Company believes that remediation of these environmental matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Litigation: The Company is party to various legal actions that are ordinary and incidental to its business. While the outcome of pending legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of these various proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In 2012, the Company reached an agreement with all parties to settle all controversies and disputes with prejudice in connection with certain civil litigations filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York and in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Burlington County. As the Company's liability arising out of these litigations existed as of the December 2011 balance sheet date, this settlement was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011 within other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company funded this settlement in 2012. In 2011, the Company reached an agreement with all defendants to settle all controversies and disputes and agreed to dismiss all claims against the defendants with prejudice in connection with a civil litigation filed in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This settlement was recorded as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company has limited concentrations of credit risk with respect to financial instruments. Temporary cash investments and other investments are placed with high credit quality institutions, and concentrations within accounts receivable are generally limited due to the Company’s diverse customer base and its dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. The Company extends credit to customers based on its evaluation of the customer's financial condition. The Company does not require that any collateral be provided by its customers.

Letters of Credit: As of the year ended 2013, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $22.3 million and a de minimis amount of surety bonds. Based on the Company’s experience with these arrangements, it does not believe that any obligations that may arise will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Tax Audits: The Company’s income, sales and use, and other tax returns are routinely subject to audit by various authorities. The Company believes that the resolution of any matters raised during such audits will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Multi-Employer Pension Plans: The Company participates in a number of multi-employer pension plans for union employees (“Multi-Employer Plans”) and is exposed to significant risks and uncertainties arising from its participation in these Multi-Employer Plans. These risks and uncertainties, including changes in future contributions due to partial or full withdrawal of the Company and other participating employers from these Multi-Employer Plans, could significantly increase the Company’s future contributions or the underfunded status of these Multi-Employer Plans. Two of the Multi-Employer Plans are in mass withdrawal status. While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future actions of the Company or other participating employers from these Multi-Employer Plans, continued participation in or withdrawal from these multi-employer pension plans could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
