Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 11, 2004, Nashua Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Nashua”), entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Katun Corporation (“Katun”) (the “Agreement”). The Agreement addresses the parties rights and responsibilities relative to the costs, expenses, fees and damages that may arise from all pending claims made by Ricoh Corporation in the lawsuit entitled Ricoh Co Ltd. et al. v. Katun Corp., et al., Case No. 03CV2612 (WHW), currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Action”).

Under the Agreement, Katun will indemnify and hold Nashua harmless for monies owed as a result of any judgment rendered against Nashua in the Action. Katun and Nashua will be responsible for their own attorney’s fees and costs. Katun will also indemnify and hold Nashua harmless for monies to be paid to Ricoh or any other party pursuant to any settlement of the Action, provided that Katun has consented to the settlement.

A copy of the Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K at Exhibit 10.1.

Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

Nashua announced that on August 2, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey issued an opinion and order in a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Ricoh Company Ltd. et al. against Nashua, Katun and General Plastics Industrial Co. The Court issued summary judgment that one of six Ricoh patents relating to toner bottles for use in photocopy machines (U.S. Patent No. 6,075,963) was not invalid as anticipated by certain prior art and was infringed by Nashua. In addition, the Court interpreted disputed terms of the six patents involved in the case. Nashua believes it is entitled to indemnification from Katun for monies owed as a result of any judgment rendered against Nashua in this litigation. Nashua previously announced that on April 1, 2005 it committed to a plan to exit the toner and developer business, which includes its Imaging Supplies segment, by March 31, 2006.

A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K at Exhibit 99.1.
