Outsourcing Services Agreement
Outsourcing Services Agreement

Under an Outsourcing Services Agreement, Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) provides a number of corporate staff services to us. These services include information technology, accounting, and human resource transactional services. The Outsourcing Services Agreement is currently set to expire on February 22, 2016. The agreement automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless either party provides notice of termination to the other party at least 12 months in advance of the expiration date. The Outsourcing Services Agreement gives us (but not PCA) the right to terminate all or any portion of the services provided to us on 30 days' notice. Total expenses incurred under the Outsourcing Services Agreement were $3.9 million, for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
