  Total minimum inventory purchase commitment payments .......$ 2,293,809
Litigation
From time to time, we may become a party to legal proceedings, including, without limitation, product liability
claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, governmental inquiries and investigations, and other matters
arising out of the ordinary course of our business. While the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with
certainty, in our opinion pending matters are not currently anticipated to have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations.
As of December 27, 2014, we had accrued our best estimate of potential losses relating to claims that were
probable to result in liability and for which we were able to reasonably estimate a loss. This accrued amount, as
well as related expenses, was not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our method
for determining estimated losses considers currently available facts, presently enacted laws and regulations and
other external factors, including probable recoveries from third parties.
Employment, Consulting and Non-Compete Agreements
We have definite-lived employment, consulting and non-compete agreements that have varying base aggregate
annual payments for the years 2015 through 2019 and thereafter of approximately $15.7 million, $3.1 million, $3.4
million, $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $1.7 million. We also have lifetime consulting agreements that provide for
current compensation of $0.5 million per year, increasing $25 every fifth year with the next increase in 2017. In
addition, some agreements have provisions for additional incentives and compensation.
