AMENDMENT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 4.2
This Amendment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 30th day of March, 2009
by and among NASHUA CORPORATION, a Massachusetts corporation with a principal place of business at
00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Borrower”) and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.
(directly, and as successor by merger to LASALLE NATIONAL BANK), a national bank organized under
the laws of the United States with a place of business at 0000 Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Bank”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Bank, both directly and as successor-by-merger to LaSalle Bank National

Form of Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Note
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
| $17,000,000 | March 30, 2009 |
On or before the Termination Date, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the “Company”)
promises to pay to the order of Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank”) at the principal office of Bank of
America, N.A. (the “Agent”) at 0000 Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx 00000 or such other place
as the Agent may designate from time to time hereafter, the principal sum of Seventeen Million and
00/100 Dollars ($17,000,000) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving
Loans made by Bank pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as
of May 23, 2007, among the Company, Agent and the various financial institutions party thereto
(herein, as the same may have been and may hereafter be amended, modified or supplemented from time
to time, the “Credit Agreement”) as shown on a schedule attached hereto (and any continuation
thereof) or in the Agent’s records. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have
the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
This Note evidences certain Revolving Loans made from time to time to the Company by the Bank
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and the Company hereby promises to pay interest at the offices
described above on the Loans evidenced hereby at the rates and at the times and in the manner
specified therefor in the Credit Agreement.
Repayments of principal hereon, shall be recorded by the Agent on a schedule to this Note or
recorded on the Agent’s books and records. The Company agrees that in any action or proceeding
instituted to collect or enforce collection of this Note, the entries so recorded on a schedule to
this Note or recorded on the books and records of the Agent shall, absent demonstrable error be
conclusive evidence of the amount of the Revolving Loans made by Bank to the Company and the
interest and payments thereon.
This Note is issued by the Company under the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and
is secured by, among other things, the Security Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement and the
other Collateral Documents and this Note and the holder hereof is entitled to all of the benefits
and security provided for thereby or referred to therein, to which reference is hereby made for a
statement thereof. This Note may be declared to be, or be and become, due prior to its expressed
maturity on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. Voluntary prepayments may be made on this
Note, and certain prepayments are required to be made hereon, all in the events, on the terms and
with the effects provided in the Credit Agreement.
All of Bank’s rights and remedies are cumulative and non-exclusive. The acceptance by Bank of
any partial payment made hereunder after the time when any of such payments have become due and
payable will not establish a custom, or waive any rights of Bank to enforce prompt
payment thereof. Bank’s failure to require strict performance by the Company of any provision of
this Note shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict
compliance and performance therewith. Any waiver of an Event of Default shall not suspend, waive
or affect any other Event of Default. The Company and every endorser waive presentment, demand and
protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of this Note. The Company further waives any and all notice or
demand to which the Company might be entitled with respect to this Note by virtue of any applicable
statute or law.
This Note constitutes a renewal, amendment and restatement of, and replacement and
substitution for two (2) certain Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Notes, each dated May
23, 2007 executed by the Company in favor of Bank and LaSalle National Bank (which subsequently
merged into the Bank), respectively, and each in the original principal amount of $14,000,000
(collectively, the “Prior Note”). The indebtedness evidenced by the Prior Note is continuing
indebtedness evidenced hereby, and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a payment,
settlement or to novation of the Prior Note.
THE LOANS EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE BEEN MADE, AND THIS NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED, AT CHICAGO,
ILLINOIS, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT
REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. THE COMPANY (i) WAIVES ANY
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO
THIS NOTE; (ii) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN
XXXX COUNTY, ILLINOIS, OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM
OR RELATED TO THIS NOTE; (iii) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE COMPANY MAY
EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING; (iv) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE
AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PROVIDED BY LAW; AND (v) AGREES NOT TO INSTITUTE ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BANK OR ANY
OF BANK’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR PROPERTY, CONCERNING ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN ONE LOCATED IN XXXX COUNTY, ILLINOIS.

SCHEDULE 9.6
LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
We are involved in certain environmental matters and have been designated by the Environmental
Protection Agency, referred to as the EPA, as a potentially responsible party for certain hazardous
waste sites. In addition, we have been notified by certain state environmental agencies that some
of our sites not addressed by the EPA require remedial action. These sites are in various stages of
investigation and remediation. Due to the unique physical characteristics of each site, the
technology employed, the extended timeframes of each remediation, the interpretation of applicable
laws and regulations and the financial viability of other potential participants, our ultimate cost
of remediation is difficult to estimate. Accordingly, estimates could either increase or decrease
in the future due to changes in such factors. At December 31, 2008, based on the facts currently
known and our prior experience with these matters, we have concluded that it is probable that site
assessment, remediation and monitoring costs will be incurred. We have estimated a range for these
costs of $.6 million to $.9 million for continuing operations. These estimates could increase if
other potentially responsible parties or our insurance carriers are unable or unwilling to bear
their allocated share and cannot be compelled to do so. At December 31, 2008, our accrual balance
relating to environmental matters was $.7 million for continuing operations. Based on information
currently available, we believe that it is probable that the major potentially responsible parties
will fully pay the costs apportioned to them. We believe that our remediation expense is not likely
to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
| 1. | PAS-Oswego Site, Oswego, New York — The site is comprised of a main “PAS” site, as well as satellite locations where waste was transshipped from PAS. Nashua’s share at the main Oswego site based on its volumetric contribution has been adjusted to 2.04%. The estimated final remedy costs at this site to be incurred over the next 30 years are estimated at $8,033,969 (Nashua’s share based on volumetric contribution is $164,000). Nashua’s share at the Xxxxxx-Terminal sites, or satellite site, is 1.4004%. The estimated total project costs at this satellite site are $11.5 million (Nashua’s share is $161,000). Nashua’s share of the future costs is covered by agreement with Liberty Mutual, subject to available property damage coverage remaining. Remaining coverage is greater than expected liability. The available remaining 1977 policy coverage for the site is $120,485. In addition, the 1980 policy has a loss reserve of $210,000 related to this site. On June 16, 2007, the trust issued a cash call in the amount of $575,000 of which $11,591 is Nashua’s portion which was paid by Liberty Mutual. The cash call is expected to fund operations through 2010. The trust projected the site cost for the period from 2007 to 2037 to be $2.8 million, of which Nashua’s share is approximately $57,000. Nashua’s total estimated cost relative to the site is $325,000 of which $238,000 has been paid by Liberty Mutual, leaving an estimated insured exposure of $87,000. |
| 2. | Xxx Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX - In 1994 the EPA issued a letter stating that the Company was considered to be a PRP pursuant to CERCLA at the Old Southington Landfill Superfund Site in Southington, Connecticut (“OSL Site”). The EPA claimed that by virtue of allegedly having shipped 126,885 gallons of waste materials to the Solvents Recovery Service of New England (SRSNE) facility between 1955 and November 1967, the Company had also contributed to contamination at the OSL Site, where SRSNE allegedly disposed of some of its process waste during that period. In December 1997, the Company executed a Consent Decree relating to the Company’s liability for past costs and for the first operable unit (“OU-1”) at the OSL Site. That settlement resolved the Company’s OU-1 related liability to the EPA, the State of Connecticut and various PRPs that previously had paid costs associated with OU-1 activities. The Consent Decree was entered by the federal District Court in Connecticut in the summer of 1998. Information provided by the EPA indicated that certain groundwater remediation alternatives under consideration by the EPA might cost in the range of $35-$40 million. The Company has been allocated responsibility for 1.775% of shared costs, based on its 1955-1967 shipments to SRSNE. Because the EPA has yet to determine whether groundwater conditions at the OSL Site will require a clean-up remedy, it is not possible to predict whether such remedial measures will be necessary or what any selected measures will cost. In 1996 and 1997, the Company participated in negotiations intended to allocate responsibility among PRPs and to resolve the liability of most PRPs for the second operable unit (“OU-2”) of Site clean-up work. The Company contributed to the effort of the joint defense group and independently submitted written materials to the Justice Department and the EPA. The government has not responded to that submission. If the government accepts the Company’s position, the Company may be eligible to resolve the remainder of its liability for OSL Site conditions on a de minimis basis. The settlement with Liberty Mutual relative to SRSNE impacted Nashua’s liability relative to this site. As a condition to fund $400,000 of the SRSNE liability, the Company released Liberty from the OSL environmental liability. Liberty retains liability for bodily harm, if any arises. During the 2nd quarter of 2008, we accrued an additional $200,000 for the cost of the combined SRSNE and OSL sites. Prior to settlement, we discussed the liability relative to this site with both the site administrator and our attorney. Based on these discussions, we believe that the exposure to the Company is in a range between $100,000 and $200,000. | |
| 3. | Xxxxxx Services Corporation Site, Rock Hill, South Carolina — The site was used for the storage, treatment and recycling of hazardous waste in the mid-to-late 1960’s. Quality Drum Company and, later, Industrial Chemical Company received third parties’ spent solvents, stored them in drums or tanks on the site, and used distillation to recover the solvents. In 1981, a hazardous waste incinerator was installed on the site, and the facility began to process a broader variety of waste streams. At the time Stablex Inc. acquired operations in May 1983, approximately 26,000 drums and 200,000 gallons of bulk liquid waste were present on the site. Sampling and remediation efforts by the former site operators started at least in 1983 with the site purchase by Stablex. Incineration continued when ThermalKEM purchased the facility in 1986, and also after Xxxxxx Services Corporation (“PSC”), purchased the facility in 1995. PSC curtailed operations in 1997 and |
| submitted an incinerator closure plan in 1998. PSC declared bankruptcy in June 2003. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (“SC DHEC”) is the agency responding to the site, and the site has not been placed on the National Priorities List. SC DHEC and the United States settled with PSC and PSC’s wholly-owned subsidiaries in December 2003. Pursuant to this settlement agreement, PSC and its insurers committed to pay a total of $4,281,934 by July 2008 into a site-specific trust fund designated for environmental response costs. SC DHEC has identified the groundwater and soil surrounding the former incinerator and a fuel oil spill as areas of primary concern. Comprehensive sampling conducted by Camp Dresser and XxXxx for SC DHEC in 2004 found no surface water impacts to the adjacent creeks. Over 50 groundwater monitoring xxxxx are installed. VOC’s, principally chlorinated, contaminate the saprolite aquifer. A limited number of groundwater xxxxx are screened in the bedrock. Preliminary data suggest that the bedrock may be highly fractured and that VOCs may contaminate the bedrock aquifer, although contaminant levels in bedrock appear lower than those seen in the saprolite. A review of shipping manifests indicate that the Company shipped 974 containers to the site. In most cases, containers are drums. We have joined the PRP group for the site. We have been informed that the federal government is a major contributor to the site and is in the process of proposing an upfront cash settlement which will impact the amount due from the remaining PRP’s. On December 19, 2005, the DHEC advised the PRP Group that it was not satisfied with the content of a draft Consent Decree and that the DHEC would be conducting a remedial investigation/feasibility study at the site using the PSC insurer’s funds which are held in trust. The estimated cost associated with the cleanup remedies is $25 million. While the allocation of cost has not been agreed to by the PRPs, recent information indicates that Nashua’s portion of the waste contributed to the site is 0.17% extrapolating to a cost of approximately $43,000. Consent decree negotiations have been delayed since the remedial investigation by the DHEC has not been completed. The federal government is now arguing that approximately 63% of the 22 million pounds it sent to the site is immune from cleanup liability since it was a pass through from other generators of waste. The PRP group is attempting to identify the waste generators to add to the PRP list. The Phase II Remedial Investigation Report was completed on May 24, 2007. On January 2, 2008, the DHEC completed its draft remedial investigation report. The only significant surprise is the existence of some low level trichloroethene contamination in a bedrock well. There have been no further discussions with Federal PRPs. The group has strong finances and it appears further cash calls will not be required for at least six months. A consultant for the DHEC has developed cost estimates related to the remediation of both the contaminated groundwater and soil. Nashua’s share of the cost are estimated to range from a low of $12,750 to a high of $60,937. Counsel for the PRP Group believes that the cost estimates are overstated. |
| 4. | Union Chemical Site, Hope, Maine — Union Chemical is an environmental site for which remediation began in 1992. In 1993, the trust for the site contracted with IT Corp to remediate the site. The contract with IT Corp provided that if the site, excluding bedrock, was not clean by the end of five years from commencement of the air injection system that the contractor would guarantee cleanup and absorb future cost. The operation of the system began in 1996. IT declared bankruptcy in 2002 and was acquired by the Xxxx Group. Unfortunately, the Union Chemical contract was not accepted by the Xxxx Group as part of |
| the acquisition out of bankruptcy. The bankruptcy had occurred on what was perceived by the trust as the end of the cleanup process. The EPA has indicated that it will require long term monitoring together with other activities by the trust relative to the site closure; therefore, the trust required additional funding of approximately $1.7 million. Nashua’s share of the cleanup cost is 18.7%. The cash call in the amount of $317,089 was received in December, 2006 and was paid in February 2007. |
| 5. | Merrimack, New Hampshire Property — Nashua has performed groundwater and soil remediation work in the vicinity of the old underground storage tanks. Monitoring continues and operations continue under a groundwater management plan. In 2000, there was a toluene spill on the site. The State has approved the remediation plan submitted by Nashua and active toluene remediation continues. The DES approved the moving of the air sparging system in 2007 to aggressively accelerate the toluene cleanup. In addition, the Company is working with the EPA to resolve the remediation issue relative to PCBs found on the site. PCBs were used in the manufacture of carbonless products in the late sixties-early seventies. Our environmental consultants, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx, believe that remediation of PCBs will be limited to capping the PCB site and the issuance of a deed restriction for the location. On September 27, 2007, representatives of the EPA and NH DEA visited the Merrimack site. The EPA is concerned that PCBs could be migrating off site into the Merrimack River. The EPA arrived at the possibility based on detection of PCBs in groundwater at the property boundary at the last two well sampling events. In order to address the issues raised by the EPA, Nashua with the assistance of Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx prepared a statement of work approved by the EPA which called for additional groundwater sampling for PCBs coupled with further evaluation of the hydrogeolic condition and other potential PCB sources and additional soil boring, testing and monitoring xxxxx. Testing of PCBs indicates potential migration of PCBs to xxxxx on the property boundary. The estimated cost for the PCB work ranges between $50,000 and $100,000 and has been included in the reserve range limits. Groundwater sampling was performed in May 2008. PCB concentrations in groundwater were relatively unchanged from previous sampling events. Toluene concentrations have been significantly reduced due to the operation of the air sparge system. Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx submitted the final supplemental PCB Data Evaluation Report to the EPA and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services on June 6, 2008. The recommendation continues to be to cap the contaminated area and place use restrictions on the PCB impacted soils. Groundwater sampling was performed in November 2008. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services issued a new Groundwater Management Permit on December 16, 2008. The permit requires testing of fewer xxxxx than what was previously tested. There has been no response from the EPA relative to PCBs. | |
| In November 2006, we acquired insurance coverage for future spills. The 5-year policy costs approximately $87,000 and expires in November 2011. | ||
| 6. | Omaha, Nebraska Property — Nashua has performed remediation of toluene at the Omaha, Nebraska plant site under the administrative order on consent between the Company and the EPA (Region 7). The clean up was accomplished through the use of a high vacuum |
| dual phase remediation system. The Company is currently working towards a formal site closure with the EPA. The estimated cost for future testing is in the range between $154,000 and $200,000. The environmental reserve for Omaha is $197,000. The EPA has raised the issue of financial assurance in the form of a letter of credit relating to future testing once the site goes to natural attenuation. We believe that this issue was addressed with the EPA in 2003. The Statement of Basis relative to natural attenuation has been approved by the EPA. The Record of Decision was issued by the EPA on September 27, 2007. A Corrective Measures Implementation Work Plan, CMI Health and Safety Plan, CMI Operation and Maintenance Plan and CMI Community Relations Plan were provided to the EPA on December 17, 2007. On July 9, 2008, the EPA issued a letter indicating that it had completed its review of the draft Corrective Measures Implementation (CMI) Work Plan, CMI Operation and Maintenance Plan, CMI Community Relations Plan and CMI Health and Safety Plan. The EPA’s review of the documents did not generate any substantive comments. Final plans were submitted on August 14, 2008. Annual monitoring as outlined in the plan will commence between September and November 2008. The EPA has contacted the Company relative to the issuance of financial assurance via a letter of credit which was required under the original consent decree. It is estimated that the letter of credit will approximate $200,000. |
| 7. | Xxxxxxx Chemical Site, Illinois — On September 28, 2005, the Company received a letter dated September 27, 2005 indicating that the Company may be a potentially responsible party (PRPs) at this site. There are currently 72 PRPs who have contributed over 72% of the wastes processed at the site. According to the letter, the Company is in the next group who have been identified as contributing between 10,000 to 74,999 gallons of waste to the site. It appears that there could be approximately 2,800 PRPs at this site. Based on discussions with the EPA lawyer, the PRPs that contributed 75,000 gallons or more to the site have agreed to reimburse the EPA for its past costs and clean up costs. It appears that Nashua’s Omaha facility contributed 13,000 gallons to the site. On October 26, 2005, we received a request from the 1st tier PRPs to join and pay the group $10,000 relative to the clean up cost. On December 22, 2005, we contributed $10,000 relative to the cleanup and did not expect any further cost relative to this matter. This site has reappeared as the remediation costs have exceeded the $3,250,000 estimate by $1.8 million. Nashua is considered a non-performing member at this site. On February 7, 2008, Nashua was assessed an additional charge of $8,460 due to higher costs. The higher costs were due to contaminated soils being found beyond the area estimated and higher toxicity. | |
| 8. | Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX — Nashua Corporation was recently notified by the Frontier Chemical Site PRP Group that Nashua Corporation was a participant in the site. Enforcement action has been threatened by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) with regards to alleged release of hazardous substances and the alleged migration of such hazardous substances from the former Frontier Chemical Royal Avenue Treatment and Storage Disposal Facility in Niagara Falls, NY. During the period from 1/1/80 through 6/17/82, Nashua sent approximately 104,240 gallons of materials to the site. Nashua’s liability relative to the site has not been determined. |
SIGNIFICANT LITIGATION/CLAIMS AGAINST NASHUA
| 1. | Champaign, Illinois — Explosion — On July 9, 2003, there was an explosion at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, which was the former Cerion Technologies location. The explosion occurred when employees of Xxxx Construction, Mr. Jean and Xx. Xxxxxx, were performing demolition in a 5,000 sq. ft. area. The explosion allegedly occurred when the two men used a fire extinguisher to put out a fire that started when they cut a pipe with an acetylene torch. The State Fire Xxxxxxxx believes the two men ignited aluminum dust that was in the duct work and filter unit. Claimants allege the aluminum dust was left behind by the most recent tenant and former Nashua subsidiary, Cerion Technologies Inc. The explosion and fire caused injuries to the two men with Mr. Jean subsequently dying from his injuries. In addition, significant property damage occurred. Nashua was notified by attorneys for Mr. Jean, Xx. Xxxxxx, and the property insurance carrier, Selective Insurance Co., of claims against Nashua Corporation. A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Mr. Jean naming Cerion Technologies as the defendant. On May 11, 2004, Nashua was named as a defendant in a suit relating to injuries caused in the explosion. Other defendants named were Cerion Technologies Liquidating Trust, Cerion Technologies, Inc., Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxx. Nashua immediately notified its X.X. xxxxxxx, Travelers, of the action. Sonnenschein, Nath & Xxxxxxxxx has been retained by Travelers to defend Nashua and Xx. Xxxxxxxxx. A second suit naming Nashua Corporation as a defendant in a wrongful death action relating to the deceased individual, Mr. Jean, was received on June 7, 2004. Nashua does not believe it has responsibility in that the ownership of the building in question was transferred by Nashua to Cerion Technologies Inc. in 1996 and subsequently Cerion Liquidating Trust sold the building “as is, where is” to its current owner, Xxxxx Xxxx. The case has been resolved by the parties during mediation but needs approval of the Court prior to finalization due to the involvement of minors. Nashua’s portion of the settlement is $500,000 which is covered by insurance (Travelers). The Cerion Liquidating Trust has agreed to pay approximately $900,000. The matter is expected to be finalized by the Court in Q2 2009. Once this is resolved, Cerion Liquidating Trust will make its final distribution of cash to its shareholders. Nashua is expected to receive approximately $1.6 million. | |
| 2. | SSgA Investment Advisers (State Street) — Nashua’s pension plans were invested in the SSgA Bond Market Fund. The fund was characterized as an enhanced index fund whereby the fund would track within 75 basis points of the Xxxxxx Aggregate Index. Through August 2007, the Bond Market Fund lost 12.26% whereas the Xxxxxx Aggregate Index increased 1.2%. The major contributors to the loss were investments in the subprime mortgage arena. In October, the pension plans filed an ERISA class action suit against State Street Bank and Trust and SSgA Investment Advisers for breach of their fiduciary responsibility. On January 11, 2008, the suit was filed by the Nashua Pension Plan Committee, comprising of Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx, in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. This replaces the suit filed in October 2007 in Boston. Complaint was amended March 14, 2008 consolidating the complaints of the Andover Companies, Unisystems Inc. and Nashua Corporation (i.e., Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx). Discovery has commenced and the Company has provided information |
| requested by State Street which was available in our files. The court has extended the time for discovery and ordered that no depositions occur before January 1, 2009 in order to enable the parties to coordinate with recently filed actions against State Street. Mediation was conducted on October 21 and 22 with no avail. On October 00, Xxxxx Xxxxxx filed its answer to the amended claim. In addition, State Street filed a counterclaim against both Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, as fiduciaries, claiming that the fiduciaries should have known about the leveraged investments in the sub-prime market. Nashua has notified Chubb Insurance Co. of this counterclaim. The Pension Committee’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaim against Xx. Xxxxxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxxx on March 3, 2009. Depositions of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx relative to Nashua’s collection of documents were completed on December 18, 2008. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx was deposed relative to factual information related to the case on January 16, 2009. |
| 3. | Xxxxx Xxxxx Paper Co., Inc. — On September 26, 2003, Nashua Corporation and Xxxxx Xxxxx Paper Co., Inc. (“Elish”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement relative to Elish’s acquisition of Nashua’s business of marketing and selling certain cut sheet bond papers and transparencies under the Nashua brand. Nashua provided Elish the right to use the “Nashua” trademark in conjunction with the business sold through December 31, 2008. The purchase price was $200,000 of which $50,000 was paid within 90 days of closing and the remaining $150,000 on a basis of 1% of gross revenues quarterly with the balance to be paid by December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, Nashua was paid the up front payment of $50,000 and $59,904 of the $150,000 leaving an unpaid balance of $90,096, which is past due. Nashua demanded the payment from Elish on January 9, 2009. Prior to that date, letters were sent to Elish reminding it of the impending obligation. Nashua served a Writ of Summons on Elish, but the registered mail was refused. Nashua filed suit against Elish in the N.H. Superior Court demanding payment of the obligation. | |
| 4. | Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxx — Nashua Corporation was served papers on March 3, 2009 relative to the action Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxx vs. American Standards, Inc. et al. (including Nashua Corporation). There are 53 defendants in this case. The suit alleges that Nashua Corporation engaged in the sale and distribution of materials and products containing the substance asbestos. The action claims that Xx. Xxxxx for a period of many years, worked with or came in contact with or was exposed to asbestos products while working in various shipyards, steel xxxxx, refineries, paper xxxxx, chemical plants, industrial sites and facilities, construction sites and other facilities or was exposed to the defendants’ products through the normal use of these products. The case alleges Xx. Xxxxx’x exposure to asbestos products has resulted in his sickness. Subsequently, we have learned that Xx. Xxxxx worked in a press room which used Nashua papers and glue. We are in the process of obtaining part numbers. It is possible that we may be released from the case once we identify the papers and certify that the products did not contain asbestos. |

| 3. | Omaha, Nebraska Property — Nashua has performed remediation of toluene at the Omaha, Nebraska plant site under the administrative order on consent between the Company and the EPA (Region 7). The clean up was accomplished through the use of a high vacuum dual phase remediation system. The Company is currently working towards a formal site closure with the EPA. The estimated cost for future testing is in the range between $154,000 and $200,000. The environmental reserve for Omaha is $197,000.
