(In Thousands Except Per Share Amounts)
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of December 29, 2013, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $23,897, which, if resolved favorably
would reduce income tax expense by $17,664. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized
tax benefits follows:
Year End
2013 2012 2011
Beginning balance ................................................... $28,848 $30,614 $36,434
Additions:
Tax positions of prior years .................................... 3,579 3,410 948

During 2014, we believe it is reasonably possible the Company will reduce unrecognized tax benefits by up to
$5,133, primarily as a result of the completion of certain state tax audits.
During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $(835), $(584) and $501 of interest (credit) expense
and $(672), $(204) and $337 of penalty (credit) expense, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions. The
Company has approximately $2,634 and $3,972 accrued for interest and $987 and $1,708 accrued for penalties as of
December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
