c. If the Company stops participating in some of its multi-employer pension plans, the Company may
be required to pay those plans an amount based on its allocable share of the underfunded status of
the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
The Company’s participation in these plans is outlined in the following tables. The EIN / Pension Plan
Number column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit pension plan
number. The most recent Pension Protection Act Zone Status available in 2012 and 2011 is for the plan’s
year-end at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Among other factors, generally, plans in
the red zone are less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded and
plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. The FIP/RP Status Pending / Implemented Column
indicates plans for which a funding improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) is either pending
or has been implemented. Unless otherwise noted, the information for these tables was obtained from the
Forms 5500 filed for each plan’s year-end at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The multi-employer
contributions listed in the table below are the Company’s multi-employer contributions made in fiscal years
2012, 2011 and 2010.
