NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain prior year data have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements relate to continuing operations.

At March 31, 2006, we classified our toner and developer portion of the Imaging Supplies segment as discontinued operations. We retained our resin product line which was part of our Imaging Supplies segment and is now classified in the “All Other” category. Associated results of operations are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Note 2: Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

The carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of September 29, 2006 is $14.1 million and $17.4 million for our Specialty Paper Products and our Label Products segments, respectively.

Accumulated amortization of goodwill prior to the adoption of FAS 142 was $2.7 million. We perform our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year.

During the third quarter of 2006, we negotiated the freeze of the defined benefit pension and postretirement plans for members of the United Steelworkers’ union employed at our Merrimack, New Hampshire facility. In connection with this freeze, during the third quarter of 2006, we recognized a curtailment loss of $.9 million related to our defined benefit pension plan and we recognized a gain of $.2 million related to our postretirement plan. Both curtailments are included in our results of operations of our Specialty Paper Products segment. In addition to the curtailments related to our Specialty Paper Products segment, during the first nine months of 2006, we recognized a gain of $.4 million related to the curtailment of postretirement benefits related to our decision to exit the toner and developer business, which is included in discontinued operations. During the first nine months of 2005, we recognized a loss of $.4 million related to the curtailment of pension benefits based on our decision to exit the toner and developer business for employees included in our pension plans.

During the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006, we made contributions to our pension plans of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. We do not expect to make additional contributions to our pension plans in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Note 4: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

Discontinued operations include, among other items, the results of our toner and developer business for all periods presented, the liquidation of an inactive foreign subsidiary for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and a gain from a reversal of a tax accrual related to IRS audits from the years 1995 through 2000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as follows:

On April 1, 2005, we committed to a plan to exit our toner and developer business, which was included in our former Imaging Supplies segment, by March 31, 2006. We ceased operations of our toner and developer business on March 31, 2006. Our toner and developer business employed approximately 70 people located primarily at our facilities in Nashua and Merrimack, New Hampshire. During the first nine months of 2006, we sold certain formulations and other assets of the toner and developer business and we received net proceeds of $2.1 million and recorded a gain of $.4 million, net of taxes. We retained our resin product line which was part of our former Imaging Supplies segment and is now classified in the “All Other” category.

Our exit of the toner and developer business resulted, in part, from our strategy to exit non-strategic businesses. The decision was also based on our assessment of risk related to new technologies in color and chemical toners where we have limited skill sets, increased cost of litigation and increases in operating costs. Results of the toner and developer business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Results of our toner and developer business for all periods presented, the liquidation of an inactive foreign subsidiary for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and a gain from the reversal of a tax accrual related to IRS audits from the years 1995 through 2000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are summarized as follows:

Assets held for sale at September 29, 2006 include $.1 million representing the carrying value of real estate in Nashua, New Hampshire, which we expect to sell in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Note 5: Stock-Based Compensation

On May 4, 2004 our Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Value Creation Incentive Plan in which restricted stock awards have been granted to certain key executives that will vest upon achievement of certain target average closing prices of our common stock over the 40-consecutive trading day period which ends on the third anniversary of the date of grant, such that 33 percent of such shares shall vest if the 40-day average closing price of at least $13.00 but less than $14.00 is achieved, 66 percent of such shares shall vest if the 40-day average closing price of at least $14.00 but less than $15.00 is achieved, and 100 percent of such shares shall vest if the 40-day average closing price of $15.00 or greater is achieved. The restricted shares vest upon a change of control if the share price at the date of the change in control exceeds $13.00. Shares of the restricted stock are forfeited if the specified closing prices of our common stock are not met. Of the 150,000 shares authorized for the 2004 Value Creation Incentive Plan, 17,327 shares are available to be awarded as of September 29, 2006.

In addition to our 2004 Value Creation Incentive Plan, at September 29, 2006, we also have our 1999 Shareholder Value Plan. Under the 1999 Plan, nonstatutory stock options have been awarded. Of the 600,000 shares authorized for the 1999 Plan, 31,150 shares are available to be awarded as of September 29, 2006. Stock options under the 1999 Plan generally become exercisable either (a) 50 percent on the first anniversary of grant and the remainder on the second anniversary of grant, (b) 100 percent at one year from the date of grant, or (c) otherwise as determined by the Leadership and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Certain options may become exercisable immediately under certain circumstances and events as defined under these plans and option agreements. Nonstatutory and incentive stock options granted under the 1999 Plan expire 10 years from the date of grant. Currently, there are no incentive stock options granted under the 1999 Plan.

Under the 1999 Plan, performance based restricted stock awards have been granted. There were no restricted stock awards outstanding at September 29, 2006 under this plan. Shares issued under the plan are initially recorded at their fair market value on the date of grant with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital representing the unearned portion of these awards. Under the plan, shares of performance based restricted stock are forfeited if the specified closing prices of our common stock are not met within five years of grant or the executive leaves the Company.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R), using the modified-prospective application method for new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the FAS 123R effective date, January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding on January 1, 2006 is recognized based on the fair value estimated on grant date and as the requisite service is rendered on or after January 1, 2006. Prior period financial statements are not restated to reflect the effect of FAS 123R under the modified-prospective transition method.

For the third quarter ended September 29, 2006, the effect of the adoption of FAS 123R was a decrease to loss from continuing operations of $.1 million and a decrease to net loss of $.1 million related to a change in estimate due to the forfeiture of 47,327 shares. For the first nine months ended September 29, 2006, the effect of the adoption of FAS 123R was $.1 million to both loss from continuing operations and net income due to the reversal of a previously recognized expense related to the forfeiture of 47,327 shares of restricted stock for employees who are no longer employed by us.

Compensation expense for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 for restricted stock awards was $.1 million and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Total compensation expense related to non-vested awards not yet recognized at September 29, 2006 is $.2 million, which we expect to recognize over the next three years.

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost relating to stock option awards was reflected in our net income, as all options under our plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of our common stock on their date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and earnings per share prior to the adoption of FAS 123R. This table shows the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 pro forma amounts had we adopted the fair value recognition of FAS 123R.

For stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006, fair values were estimated on the date of grants using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted during the quarter ended September 29, 2006. We use the binomial option-pricing model for restricted stock awards.

We use the straight-line attribution method for recognizing stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123R, which is consistent with the method we used in recognizing stock-based compensation expense for disclosure purposes under FAS 123 prior to the adoption of FAS 123R.

Note 7: Indebtedness

On March 30, 2006, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with LaSalle Bank National Association and other lenders to amend and restate in its entirety our Credit Agreement, dated March 1, 2002, as amended. The Restated Credit Agreement extends the term of the credit facility to March 31, 2009 and provides for a revolving credit facility of $35 million, including a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $2,841,425 secured letter of credit that will continue to support Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued by the Industrial Development Board of the City of Jefferson City, Tennessee. The Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require us to maintain certain ratios such as funded debt to adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, also known as adjusted EBITDA, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the Restated Credit Agreement extinguished the term loan that had existed under the Original Credit Agreement.

The interest rate on loans outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement is based on the total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and is, at our option, either (1) a range from zero to .25 percent over the base rate (prime) or (2) a range from 1.25 percent to 2.0 percent over LIBOR. We are also subject to a non-use fee for any unutilized portion of the revolving credit facility under the Restated Credit Agreement which ranges from .25 percent to .375 percent, based on our total debt to EBITDA ratio.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, the weighted average annual interest rate on our long-term debt was 7.0 percent and 5.3 percent, respectively. We had $13.4 million of available borrowing capacity at September 29, 2006 under our revolving loan commitment. We had $2.6 million of obligations under standby letters of credit with the banks which are included in our bank debt when calculating our borrowing capacity.

-11-

Furthermore, without prior consent of our lenders, the Restated Credit Agreement limits, among other things, capital expenditures to $8.0 million, the incurrence of additional debt and restricts the sale of certain assets and merger or acquisition activities. We may use cash for dividends or repurchase of shares to the extent that the availability under the line of credit exceeds $3 million. We were in compliance with the financial covenants at September 29, 2006 under the Restated Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at September 29, 2006, our minimum payment obligations relating to long-term debt are as follows:

	2009 and
	Beyond		Total
	(In thousands)
Revolving portion of long-term debt	$	16,600	$	16,600
Industrial revenue bond		2,800		2,800
	$	19,400	$	19,400

We use derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. During the first quarter of 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap, with a notional debt value of $10 million, which expires in 2011. During the term of the agreement, we have a fixed interest rate of 4.82 percent on the notional amount, and LaSalle National Bank N.A., as counterparty to the agreement, paid us interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR on the notional amount. Interest payments are made quarterly on a net settlement basis.

This derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting, therefore changes in fair value of the hedge instrument is recognized in earnings. Interest expense was increased for the mark-to-market adjustment of the derivative for the third quarter of 2006 by $.2 million and interest expense was decreased for the first nine months of 2006 by $.1 million. The fair market value of the derivative resulted in an asset of $.1 million at September 29, 2006, which was determined based on current interest rates and expected trends.

Note 8: Contingencies

In August and September 1996, two individual plaintiffs filed lawsuits in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against us, Cerion Technologies, Inc., certain directors and officers of Cerion, and our underwriter, on behalf of all persons who purchased the common stock of Cerion between May 24, 1996 and July 9, 1996. These two complaints were consolidated. In March 1997, the same individual plaintiffs joined by a third plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint. The consolidated complaint alleged that, in connection with Cerion’s initial public offering, the defendants issued materially false and misleading statements and omitted the disclosure of material facts regarding, in particular, certain significant customer relationships. In October 1997, the Circuit Court, on motion by the defendants, dismissed the consolidated complaint. The plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Consolidated Complaint alleging similar claims as the first consolidated complaint seeking damages and injunctive relief. On May 6, 1998, the Circuit Court, on motion by the defendants, dismissed with prejudice the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint. The plaintiffs filed with the Appellate Court an appeal of the Circuit Court’s ruling. On November 19, 1999, the Appellate Court reversed the Circuit Court’s ruling that dismissed the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint. The Appellate Court ruled that the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint represented a valid claim and sent the case back to the Circuit Court for further proceedings. On December 27, 1999, we filed a Petition with the Supreme Court of Illinois. In that Petition, we asked the Supreme Court of Illinois to determine whether the Circuit Court or the Appellate Court is correct. Our Petition was denied and the case was sent to the Circuit Court for trial. On October 8, 2003, the Circuit Court heard motions on a summary judgment motion and a class action certification motion. On August 16, 2005, the Circuit Court issued an order granting the defendants’ motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed the plaintiffs’ Complaint. On September 15, 2005, the plaintiffs appealed the Circuit Court’s grant of Summary Judgment with the Appeals Court. On April 21, 2006, we filed our brief in response to the plaintiff’s appeal. On June 30, 2006, the Appellate Court dismissed the plaintiffs’ appeal of the August 16, 2005 order by the Circuit Court which granted the defendants motion for Summary Judgment. On August 4, 2006, the plaintiffs filed a petition with the Supreme Court of Illinois for Leave to Appeal the Appellate Court’s order. We believe that we will receive the value of our 37.1 percent ownership in the Cerion Liquidating Trust which was valued at $1.5 million before income taxes at September 29, 2006. Our investment in Cerion is included under other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On October 14, 2003, Ricoh Company, Ltd., Ricoh Corporation and Ricoh Electronics, Inc. (collectively, “Ricoh”) filed a First Amended Complaint for Patent Infringement, Trademark Infringement, and Unfair Competition joining us as a co-defendant in an action pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Civil Action No. 03-CV-2612 (WHW). The case was originally filed against two other defendants in May 2003. The First Amended Complaint accuses us of willful patent infringement, trademark infringement, trademark counterfeiting, false advertising, false

-12-

designation of origin, and unfair competition by virtue of its manufacture and sale of toner bottles for use in Ricoh photocopiers. Ricoh seeks injunctive relief, damages, attorneys’ fees, treble damages as a result of the alleged willful patent and trademark infringement, and statutory damages. On December 8, 2003, we filed an Answer and Counterclaims denying Ricoh’s allegations, asserting affirmative defenses, and seeking declarations that Ricoh’s patents are invalid and not infringed, and that certain of the patents are also unenforceable.

On November 24, 2003, Ricoh filed Motions for Partial Summary Judgment for Trademark Infringement and Unfair Competition, and for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement of one of the patents-in-suit. Subsequently, the parties agreed to a schedule pursuant to which the defendants would have until January 16, 2004 to conduct discovery relative to the summary judgment motions. On February 5, 2004, the Company joined in co-defendant Katun Corporation’s opposition to Ricoh’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Trademark Infringement and Unfair Competition. On February 23, 2004, we joined in co-defendant Katun Corporation’s Opposition to Ricoh’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement. Katun Corporation also filed a Cross Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of No Trademark Infringement or Unfair Competition and a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Invalidity of the same patent at issue in Ricoh’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement. Ricoh opposed both motions. In August 2004, the parties filed and exchanged briefs setting forth their respective claim construction positions on the asserted claims of the six patents-in-suit.

On April 12, 2005, the District Court granted the defendants’ summary judgment motion relative to trademark infringement and unfair competition, and dismissed the counts related to trademark infringement and unfair competition, narrowing the scope of the suit.

On May 12, 2005, we filed a Motion for Leave to File a First Amended Answer and Counterclaim adding an antitrust counterclaim against Ricoh. Ricoh opposed our motion. On June 3, 2005, the Court denied our motion. On June 20, 2005, we filed a Motion for Reconsideration, which Ricoh also opposed. On July 14, 2005, the Court denied our Motion for Reconsideration.

On August 2, 2005, the Court issued an opinion construing the disputed claim terms of the six patents-in-suit; granting Ricoh’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,075,963 (the “ ‘963 patent”); granting Ricoh’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of “no invalidity” with respect to claim 1 of the ‘963 patent; and denying the defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Invalidity with respect to claim 1 of the ‘963 patent. General Plastics Industrial Co., Ltd. filed a Motion for Reconsideration of certain aspects of the Court’s opinion, which the District Court denied on April 17, 2006.

On September 2, 2005, Ricoh filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on the defendants’ remaining defenses related to the ’963 patent and a motion seeking to permanently enjoin the defendants from selling the Ricoh compatible toner bottles accused of infringement in the suit. On October 17, 2005, the defendants filed an Opposition to Ricoh’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion for Permanent Injunction and are awaiting rulings from the District Court. On December 14, 2005, the defendants filed another Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity of the ‘963 patent. Ricoh has filed a memorandum in opposition and the parties are awaiting a ruling from the District Court.

On May 19, 2006, the defendants jointly filed three additional Motions for Summary Judgment of Noninfringement and Invalidity of the asserted Ricoh patents. On June 26, 2006, Ricoh filed Oppositions to the defendants’ Motions for Summary Judgment, as well as Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment. The defendants’ Replies and Oppositions to Ricoh’s Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment were filed on July 31, 2006.

In early May 2006, the parties completed expert discovery on Ricoh’s patent claims. Discovery on damages and willfulness issues has been bifurcated and will be addressed following completion of the liability phase of the litigation. Discovery on Katun and GPI’s antitrust counterclaims is scheduled to end in May 2007, with any dispositive motions on antitrust issues to be filed by June 29, 2007. No trial date on liability issues has been set.

We believe we are entitled to indemnification from Katun for monies owed as a result of any judgment rendered against us in this litigation, including for damages, costs, Ricoh’s attorney’s fees and interest, as well as for monies paid to Ricoh in settlement of the Ricoh litigation, provided that Katun has consented to the settlement. We and Katun are each responsible for our own attorney’s fees in connection with the litigation.

On November 12, 2004, Sandra Hook, a former employee, filed suit in Chancery Court for Jefferson County, Tennessee claiming discrimination related to the ending of her employment with us in November 2003 and seeking damages in excess of $1.2 million. The case in Chancery Court for Jefferson County, Tennessee has been dismissed. Prior to filing suit against us, on March 4, 2004, Ms. Hook filed a complaint with the Tennessee Human Rights Commission claiming discrimination in connection with the termination of her employment with us in November 2003. The Tennessee Human Rights Commission completed an investigation and found no basis to continue with a claim against us. On May 27, 2005, Ms. Hook also filed

-13-

suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee claiming damages in excess of $1.3 million. On August 21, 2006, the complaint was resolved through remediation. This matter is now closed.

We are involved in certain environmental matters and have been designated by the Environmental Protection Agency, referred to as the EPA, as a potentially responsible party for certain hazardous waste sites. In addition, we have been notified by certain state environmental agencies that some of our sites not addressed by the EPA require remedial action. These sites are in various stages of investigation and remediation. Due to the unique physical characteristics of each site, the technology employed, the extended timeframes of each remediation, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the financial viability of other potential participants, our ultimate cost of remediation is difficult to estimate. Accordingly, estimates could either increase or decrease in the future due to changes in such factors. At September 29, 2006, based on the facts currently known and our prior experience with these matters, we have concluded that it is probable that site assessment, remediation and monitoring costs will be incurred. We have estimated a range for these costs of $1.0 million to $2.0 million for continuing operations. These estimates could increase if other potentially responsible parties or our insurance carriers are unable or unwilling to bear their allocated share and cannot be compelled to do so. At September 29, 2006, our accrual balances relating to environmental matters were $1.0 million for continuing operations. Based on information currently available, we believe that it is probable that the major potentially responsible parties will fully pay the costs apportioned to them. We believe that our remediation expense is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We are involved in various other lawsuits, claims and inquiries, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. In the opinion of our management, the resolution of these matters will not materially affect our Company.

Note 9: New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting and financial statement reporting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by us as of January 1, 2007. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial position, operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (FAS 158). FAS 158 requires an entity to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a defined benefit postretirement plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status, measure a defined benefit postretirement plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year, and recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial position, operations and cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Our continuing operations include results of our Label Products and Specialty Paper Products segments. Effective March 31, 2006 the toner and developer business included in our former Imaging Supplies segment is reported under discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. We have retained the resin product line of our former Imaging Supplies segment which is now classified as “All Other.”

Our net sales increased $.9 million, or 1.3 percent, to $69.5 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $68.6 million for the third quarter of 2005. Our gross margin percentage decreased to 15.4 percent for the third quarter of 2006 compared to 17.3 percent for the third quarter of 2005. Our selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million to $11.3 million for the third quarter of 2006 from $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. Our Label Products segment operated profitably while our Specialty Paper Products segment incurred a $.7 million pretax loss during the third quarter of 2006.

Our net sales decreased $3.7 million, or 1.8 percent, to $199.8 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $203.5 million for the first nine months of 2005. Our gross margin percentage decreased to 15.0 percent for the first nine months of 2006 compared to 16.6 percent for the first nine months of 2005. Our selling and distribution expenses decreased, while our administrative expenses increased during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. Our Label Products segment operated profitably while our Specialty Paper Products segment incurred a $.3 million pretax loss during the first nine months of 2006.

Our results for the third quarter of 2006 include severance expenses related to selling, general and administrative employee reductions. In addition, we recognized a curtailment loss related to our hourly pension plan and a curtailment gain related to our postretirement plan in our Specialty Paper Products segment.

During the third quarter of 2006 we initiated management changes which provide us with the opportunity to refocus our efforts to sales and profit growth. We recognized a $.7 million severance charge associated with this change. As part of the change, we are in the process of combining our sales force to service specific geographic markets relative to the sale of label products and converted paper products. We expect to increase the number of sales representatives in the fourth quarter of 2006.

A collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers of America covering certain hourly employees in our New Hampshire facility was scheduled to expire on April 2, 2006, but was extended to June 2, 2006. Terms of a new contract were agreed to on August 26, 2006. As a result of this agreement, benefits of our hourly pension plan were frozen and postretirement benefits for active hourly employees terminated for the employees in the United Steelworkers’ union located in Merrimack, New Hampshire. We recognized a pension curtailment loss of $.9 million and a postretirement curtailment gain of $.2 million, both related to the negotiated union contract.

Our results for the first nine months of 2006 include severance and plant closure costs associated with a plant consolidation project in our Label Products segment. The exit and asset sale of the coated carbonless product line, a consolidation project relative to the reduction of manufacturing space in our Merrimack, New Hampshire facility and a headcount reduction in the dot matrix ribbon distribution operation, all in our Specialty Paper Products segment, have also contributed negatively to the results for our first nine months of 2006. The results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 included increased pension expenses primarily related to the use of updated mortality tables and a lower discount rate (5.5% versus 6.0%) in the computation of pension cost.

We announced the closure of our St. Louis label plant to employees during the first quarter of 2006. The St. Louis production transferred to label plants located in Nebraska, Florida and Tennessee during the third quarter of 2006. We executed a lease for a label manufacturing facility in Jacksonville, Florida. We moved label presses from our St. Augustine, Florida and St. Louis, Missouri facilities to the new facility. The St. Louis, Missouri plant was closed in August 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, new contracts were negotiated with union employees located at our Nebraska plant which expire on March 31, 2012. The contracts entitled certain employees who elected to terminate their employment with us before a specific date to severance benefits. The new contract further incorporated reduced wages and benefits and a freezing of the defined benefit pension plan benefits for our hourly employees. The pension freeze was effective March 31, 2006.

-15-

During the first nine months of 2006, we sold certain assets of our coated carbonless product line in our Specialty Paper Products segment. Certain inventories, customer list and intellectual properties were sold to Nekoosa LLC. As a result of the sale, we recognized severance cost in the first quarter of 2006 related to headcount reductions. In addition, the remaining coated carbonless inventories were written down to net realizable values.

During the first nine months of 2006, we continued to execute our plan to exit non-strategic businesses, monetize real estate and better structure our label and paper businesses for growth and improved profitability. Through this process, we intend to generate cash and better position our businesses for the future. In the cash generation process, we have liquidated our toner business and generated cash of approximately $2.1 million and created the potential for future royalties from the sale of our toner formulations. In May 2006 we entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of the land and buildings in Merrimack, New Hampshire, we are currently negotiating a purchase and sale agreement, and there is no assurance the completion of the sale will occur. In addition, we have leased approximately 98,000 square feet of space not currently utilized by Nashua to a third party at the Merrimack, New Hampshire facility. After the potential sale of the Merrimack land and buildings, we intend to lease from the prospective buyer approximately 160,000 square feet of space in our Merrimack, New Hampshire facility. Our results for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 were negatively impacted by a cost of $.7 million resulting from our moving of equipment and vacating space. Additionally, we have a purchase and sale agreement relative to the real estate in Nashua, New Hampshire, for $2.0 million, which is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2006.

On May 4, 2006, Tom Brooker joined us as Chief Executive Officer and President replacing Andrew Albert in these capacities. Mr. Albert remains with us as the executive Chairman of the Board. Mr. Brooker brings 25 years of industry experience and was elected to the Board of Directors on May 1, 2006. On August 17, 2006 we announced the appointment of Todd McKeown as Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Thomas Kubis as Vice President of Operations for us. We also announced that Thomas Pagel and Margaret Adams, former officers, are no longer employed with us.

Our net sales increased $.9 million, or 1.3 percent, to $69.5 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $68.6 million for the third quarter of 2005. The increase was due to increased sales in our Label Products segment. Our net sales decreased $3.7 million, or 1.8 percent, to $199.8 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $203.5 million for the first nine months of 2005. The decrease was due to lower sales in our Specialty Paper Products segment.

Our gross margin percentage decreased to 15.4 percent for the third quarter of 2006 compared to 17.3 percent for the third quarter of 2005. Our gross margin percentage decreased to 15.0 percent for the first nine months of 2006 compared to 16.6 percent in the first nine months of 2005. Gross margin decreased $1.1 million to $10.7 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2005. Gross margin decreased $3.7 million to $30.0 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $33.7 million for the first nine months of 2005. These decreases were due to margin percentage declines in our Specialty Paper Products segment, which was primarily attributable to lower sales volume,

-16-

unfavorable product mix, increased pension cost, severance and costs related to plant consolidation projects for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2005.

Selling and distribution expenses increased $.1 million to $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2005. Selling and distribution expenses decreased $.5 million to $17.9 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $18.4 million for the first nine months of 2005. The decrease in the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to lower distribution and employee incentive costs both due to decreased sales volume. As a percent of sales, selling and distribution expenses remained unchanged at 8.8 percent and 9.0 percent for the third quarters of 2005 and 2006 and for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively

General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. General and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million to $14.7 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $13.2 million for the first nine months of 2005. The increase for both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to employee severance costs and increased pension costs. Our corporate expenses increased $.4 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 partially due to increased pension costs related to our use of updated mortality tables and a lower discount rate in 2006 compared to 2005 and the absorption of pension cost previously attributed to the discontinued toner business. In addition, corporate expenses include operating costs of our former toner and developer facility located in Merrimack, New Hampshire, a portion of which is leased and generated lease income in the third quarter of 2006. Our corporate expenses increased $.7 million from $5.0 million in the first nine months of 2005 to $5.7 million in the first nine months of 2006 primarily due to increased pension costs and costs associated with our former toner and developer facility. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 7.5 percent for the third quarter of 2006 and 6.1 percent for the third quarter of 2005. As a percent of sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 6.5 percent for the first nine months of 2005 to 7.4 percent for the first nine months of 2006.

Research and development expenses remained unchanged at $.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. Research and development expenses increased $.1 million for the first nine months of 2006 to $.5 million compared to $.4 million for the first nine months of 2005. The increased spending for the nine months was primarily related to RFID related projects in our Label Products segment.

Other income remained unchanged at $.3 million in the third quarters of 2005 and 2006. Other income increased $.1 million to $.9 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $.8 million for the first nine months of 2005. Other income includes income from the rental of warehouse space not utilized by us in our Merrimack, New Hampshire facility included in our Specialty Paper Products segment.

Interest expense increased $.1 million to $.6 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $.5 million for the third quarter of 2005. Interest expense decreased $.1 million to $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2005. The increase in the third quarter and the decrease for the nine months was primarily due to the recognition of a mark-to-market adjustment related to our interest rate swap entered into in the first quarter of 2006.

Pretax loss from continuing operations was $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to pretax income from continuing operations of $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2005. Pretax loss from continuing operations was $4.4 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to pretax income from continuing operations of $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2005. The $3.1 million decrease in pretax income in the third quarter was partially due to lower gross margins related to decreased sales volume in our Specialty Paper Products segment, increased general and administrative expenses related to increased pension costs, employee severance expense and pension curtailment expense. The $5.6 million decrease in pretax income for the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005 was partially due to incremental cost related to increased pension costs included in both gross margin and general and administrative expenses, increased severance expense, pension curtailment expense and decreased gross margin in our Specialty Paper Products segment.

The effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 36.7 percent for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and 38.5 percent for nine months ended September 30, 2005. The estimated rates were higher than the U.S. statutory rate principally due to the impact of state income taxes.

Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $18,000 for the third quarter of 2005. Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to a loss, from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $.1 million for the first nine months of 2005. The results of our discontinued operations relate primarily to the exit of our toner and developer business, which was previously included in our former Imaging Supplies segment. The income from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2006 included a reversal of a previously established accrual for employee related plant closure costs due to negotiations with employees of the United Steelworkers’ union. The discontinued

-17-

operations for the third quarter of 2005 included results of our former toner and developer business operation. The discontinued operations for the first nine months of 2006 included gains from the sale of formulations and certain assets as part of the liquidation of the toner and developer business and a gain from the liquidation of an inactive foreign subsidiary. The discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the first nine months of 2005 included results of our toner and developer business operation, special charges for toner and developer related severance expense, a loss on curtailment of pension benefits and income from our amended settlement agreement with the IRS resulting in the reversal of a previously estimated accrued amount.

Our net loss for the third quarter of 2006 was $1.2 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to net income of $.8 million, or $.14 per share, for the third quarter of 2005. Our net loss for the first nine months of 2006 was $1.7 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to net income of $.6 million, or $0.10 per share, for the first nine months of 2005.

Net sales for our Label Products segment were $28.2 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $26.8 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net sales were $81.2 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $79.7 million for the first nine months of 2005.

• The $1.4 million, or 5.2 percent, increase in net sales in the third quarter of 2006 resulted primarily from a $1.2 million increase in our automatic identification product line, a $.5 million increase in our retail shelf product line, $.2 million increase in our ticket product line and $.2 million increase in our RFID product line, which were partially offset by declines of $.3 million in our pharmacy product line and $.4 million in all other product lines. The increase in the automatic identification product line sales resulted from incremental volume from an existing major customer. The increase in our retail shelf product line sales resulted from an increase in our customer and product base. The increase in our ticket product line sales results from increased sales volume primarily due to industry consolidation. The decrease in our pharmacy product line is primarily a result of a lost customer.

• The $1.5 million, or 1.9 percent, increase in net sales for the first nine months of 2006 resulted primarily from a $1.0 million increase in our retail shelf product line, a $.9 million increase in our ticket product line, a $.9 million increase in our automatic identification product line and $.8 million increase in our RFID product line which was partially offset by declines of $.9 million in our supermarket scale product line, $.4 million in our laser product line, $.4 million in our pharmacy product line and $.4 million in all other product lines. The increase in the retail shelf product line resulted from our asset acquisition from LSI in June 2005, which increased our customer and product base. Our ticket product line sales volume growth was due to recent industry consolidation. The decrease in sales of our supermarket scale product line resulted primarily from lost business.

Gross margin for the Label Products segment increased $.5 million to $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. Gross margin increased $.2 million to $11.8 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $11.6 million for the first nine months of 2005. As a percentage of net sales, the gross margin increased from 15.5 percent for the third quarter of 2005 to 16.5 percent for the third quarter of 2006. The gross margin percentage remained unchanged at 14.6 percent for the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2006. Our increased gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2006 was primarily related to increased sales volume and lower manufacturing costs associated with improvements in our Florida facility which were partially offset by increased pension cost and expenses associated with the closure of our label plant in St. Louis, Missouri.

Selling and distribution expenses for our Label Products segment increased $.2 million to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2005. Selling and distribution expenses increased $.4 million to $5.4 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $5.0 million for the first nine months of 2005. As a percentage of sales, selling and distribution expenses increased from 6.3 percent for the third quarter of 2005 to 6.7 percent for the third quarter of 2006. As a percentage of sales, selling and distribution expenses increased to 6.7 percent for the first nine months of 2006 compared to 6.3 percent for the first nine months of 2005. The increases for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 were primarily due to increased distribution expense related to increased freight rates, increased employee severance costs and increased commission expense related to our asset acquisition from LSI in June 2005.

General and administrative expenses for our Label Products segment increased $.3 million to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2005. General and administrative expenses increased $.6 million to $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $2.9 million for the first nine months of 2005. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 4.6 percent for the third quarter of 2006 and 3.7 percent for the third quarter of 2005. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 3.6 percent for the first nine months of 2005 to 4.3 percent for the first nine months of 2006. The increased general and administrative cost is primarily attributable to increased pension costs, severance costs, legal and settlement costs, and relocation expenses.

Research and development expenses for our Label Products segment remained unchanged for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 and increased $.1 million to $.1 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. Research and development expenses in our Label Products segment include costs associated with radio frequency identification technology.

Pretax income for our Label Products segment remained unchanged at $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. Pretax income decreased $1.0 million to $2.7 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $3.7 million for the first nine months of 2005.

Net sales for our Specialty Paper Products segment were $41.5 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $42.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net sales were $120.5 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $125.9 million for the first nine months of 2005.

• The $.7 million, or 1.7 percent, decrease in net sales in the third quarter of 2006 was primarily related to a $1.0 million decrease in our coated carbonless product line, a $.8 million decrease in our thermal point of sale (POS) product line, a $.8 million decrease in our financial product line, a $.2 million decrease in our thermal ticket and tag product line, a $.2 million decrease in our ribbons and laser cartridge product line, and a $.4 million decrease in other miscellaneous product lines, which were partially offset by increased sales of $1.5 million in our thermal facesheet product line, a $.7 million increase in our wide-format product line, and a $.5 million increase in retail POS product line. The decrease in net sales of our coated carbonless product line was the result of the exit and sale of certain assets of the coated carbonless product line in February 2006. The decrease in net sales of our thermal POS product line was due mainly to lower unit volume resulting from lost business. The decrease in net sales of our financial product line was primarily a result of lower sales volume from a major customer. The net sales increase in our thermal facesheet product line resulted primarily from increased sales volume to new customers. The net sales

-19-

increase in our wide-format products resulted from business gained from new customers.

•

The $5.4 million, or 4.3 percent, decrease in net sales in the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to sales decreases of $5.3 million in our thermal POS product line, $2.2 million in our coated carbonless product line, $.8 million in our financial product line, $.3 million in our dry gum product line and $1.0 million in other miscellaneous product lines. The net sales decreases were partially offset by sales increases of $2.2 million in our wide-format product line, $1.2 million in our ribbons and laser cartridge product lines and $.8 million in our thermal facesheet product line. The net sales decrease in our thermal POS product line was primarily due to lower unit volume resulting from lost business. The decrease in net sales of our coated carbonless product line is the result of the exit and sale of certain assets of the coated carbonless product line in February 2006. The net sales decrease in our financial product line was primarily due to lower sales volume to a major customer. The continued shift in user preference from moisture-activated adhesive to pressure sensitive adhesive resulted in lower sales of our dry gum product line. The net sales increase in our wide-format products resulted from new customer business. The increase in our ribbon and laser cartridge products is due to product sales as a result of customers gained from our acquisition of the assets from LSI in June 2005.

Gross margin for our Specialty Paper Products segment decreased $1.6 million to $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2005. Gross margin decreased $4.1 million for the first nine months of 2006 to $17.9 million compared to $22.0 million for the first nine months of 2005. The gross margin percentage decreased from 18.2 percent for the third quarter of 2005 to 14.6 percent for the third quarter of 2006. The gross margin percentage decreased to 14.8 percent for the first nine months of 2006 from 17.5 percent for the first nine months of 2005. The decrease in the gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 2006 was primarily due to lower sales volume, increased raw material costs which have only partially been offset by sales price increases, start up cost associated with the start up of our new wide format plant in Cranbury, New Jersey, and internal plant consolidation cost as we continue to reduce the amount of space utilized by us in our Merrimack, New Hampshire facility. The decrease for the first nine months of 2006 was due primarily to lower sales volume, an unfavorable product mix resulting from sales declines in the mature and higher margin product lines, lower absorption of fixed production costs in both our paper converting and coating operations due to the decrease in both production volume and productivity, employee severance costs of $.2 million, cost associated with vacating space in our Merrimack, New Hampshire facility of $.5 million, start up cost for our Cranbury, New Jersey plant, and increased utility and pension costs in our paper coating operation.

Selling and distribution expenses for our Specialty Paper Products segment decreased $.1 million to $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. Selling and distribution expenses for our Specialty Paper Products segment decreased $.9 million to $12.5 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $13.4 million for the first nine months of 2005. The decrease for the first nine months of 2006 was primarily related to decreased freight and employee incentive expenses, both associated with decreased sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expenses decreased from 10.0 percent for the third quarter of 2005 to 9.9 percent for the third quarter of 2006. As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expenses decreased from 10.6 percent for the first nine months of 2005 to 10.4 percent for the first nine months of 2006.

General and administrative expenses for our Specialty Paper Products segment increased $.3 million to $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2005. General and administrative expenses increased $.2 million to $5.5 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $5.3 million for the first nine months of 2005. The increases for both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006 were primarily related to employee severance costs recognized in the third quarter of 2006 and increased legal costs related to union negotiations which were partially offset by a gain on the sale of certain manufacturing equipment associated with selling the coated carbonless product line. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 5.1 percent for the third quarter of 2006 and 4.3 percent for the third quarter of 2005. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 4.2 percent for the first nine months of 2005 to 4.6 percent for the first nine months of 2006.

Research and development expenses remained unchanged at $.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 and remained unchanged at $.4 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005.

Pretax loss for our Specialty Paper Products segment of $.7 million for the third quarter of 2006 was $2.6 million lower than our income of $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2005. Pretax loss for the first nine months of 2006 of $.3 million was $4.0 million lower than our income of $3.7 million for the first nine months of 2005. In addition to decreased gross margins and increased general and administrative expenses, the pretax loss for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 was partially related to our recognition of a curtailment loss in our hourly pension plan of $.9 million and an associated postretirement curtailment gain of $.2 million, which were related to our newly negotiated union contract.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations include, among other items, the results of our toner and developer business for all periods presented, the liquidation of an inactive foreign subsidiary for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and a gain from the reversal of a tax accrual related to IRS audits from the years 1995 through 2000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as follows:

On April 1, 2005, we committed to a plan to exit our toner and developer business, which was included in our former Imaging Supplies segment, by March 31, 2006. We ceased operations of our toner and developer business on March 31, 2006. Our toner and developer business employed approximately 70 people located primarily at our facilities in Nashua and Merrimack, New Hampshire. During the first nine months of 2006, we sold certain formulations and other assets of the toner and developer business and we received net proceeds of $2.1 million and recorded a gain of $.4 million, net of taxes. We retained our resin product line which was part of our former Imaging Supplies segment and is now classified in the “All Other” category.

Our exit of the toner and developer business resulted, in part, from our strategy to exit non-strategic businesses. The decision was also based on our assessment of risk related to new technologies in color and chemical toners where we have limited skill sets, increased cost of litigation and increases in operating costs. Results of the toner and developer business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Results of our toner and developer business for all periods presented, the liquidation of an inactive foreign subsidiary for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and a gain from the reversal of a tax accrual related to IRS audits from the years 1995 through 2000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are summarized as follows:

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $.3 million during the first nine months of 2006 to $.3 million at September 29, 2006. Cash provided by operations of $9.2 million was offset by cash used in financing activities of $9.4 million and cash used in investing activities of $.1 million. Our cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations are combined in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Cash flow provided by operations of $9.2 million in the first nine months of 2006 resulted primarily from our net loss of $1.7 million and a gain on the sale of property and equipment of $1.2 million adjusted by depreciation and amortization of $5.5 million and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.3 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from a $5.9 million increase in accounts payable, and a $4.3 million decrease in accounts receivable which more than offset a $1.2 million increase in other assets, a $1.1 million increase in other current assets, a $1.2 million decrease

-21-

in accrued expenses and a $.6 million increase in inventories. The increase in accounts payable resulted from increased balances in both the Specialty Paper Products and Label Products segments due to timing of payments. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to cash collections from customers of our former toner and developer business, which was discontinued as of March 31, 2006. The increase in our other assets resulted primarily from an increase to our long-term tax assets and our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture while the increase in other current assets resulted primarily from insurance premium payments which are categorized as prepayments in our consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash used in investing activities of $.1 million related to cash used in investments in fixed assets of $2.4 million primarily in our Specialty Paper Products segment and $.5 million related to our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture which were more than offset by proceeds from the sale of assets of $2.8 million primarily related to the sale of certain formulations and other assets from discontinued operations and the proceeds from the sale of certain assets of our coated carbonless product line in our Specialty Paper Products segment.

Cash used in financing activities of $9.4 million related primarily to a repayment of our long-term debt. On March 30, 2006, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with LaSalle Bank National Association and other lenders to amend and restate in its entirety our Credit Agreement, dated March 1, 2002, as amended. The Restated Credit Agreement extends the term of the credit facility under the Original Credit Agreement to March 31, 2009 and provides for a revolving credit facility of $35 million, including a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $2,841,425 secured letter of credit that will continue to support Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued by the Industrial Development Board of the City of Jefferson City, Tennessee. The Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require us to maintain certain ratios such as funded debt to adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, also known as adjusted EBITDA, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the Restated Credit Agreement extinguishes the term loan that had existed under the Original Credit Agreement.

The interest rate on loans outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement is based on the total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and is, at our option, either (1) a range from zero to .25 percent over the base rate (prime) or (2) a range from 1.25 percent to 2.0 percent over LIBOR. We are also subject to a non-use fee for any unutilized portion of the revolving credit facility under the Restated Credit Agreement which ranges from .25 percent to .375 percent, based on our total debt to EBITDA ratio.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, the weighted average annual interest rate on our long-term debt was 7.0 percent and 5.3 percent, respectively. We had $13.4 million of available borrowing capacity at September 29, 2006 under our revolving loan commitment. We had $2.6 million of obligations under standby letters of credit with the banks which are included in our bank debt when calculating our borrowing capacity.

Furthermore, without prior consent of our lenders, the Restated Credit Agreement limits, among other things, capital expenditures to $8.0 million, the incurrence of additional debt and restricts the sale of certain assets and merger or acquisition activities. We may use cash for dividends or the repurchase of shares to the extent that the availability under the line of credit exceeds $3 million. We were in compliance with the financial covenants and our compliance at September 29, 2006 under the Restated Credit Agreement is as follows:

		September 29, 2006
Covenant	Requirement	Compliance
• Maintain a fixed charged coverage ratio	Not less than 1.5 to 1.0	1.8 to 1.0
• Maintain a funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio	Less than 2.75 to 1.0	2.52 to 1.0

Pursuant to our Restated Credit Agreement at September 29, 2006, our minimum payment obligations relating to long-term debt are as follows:

	Beyond		Total
	(In thousands)
Revolving portion of long-term debt	$	16,600	$	16,600
Industrial revenue bond		2,800		2,800
	$	19,400	$	19,400

We use derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. During the first quarter of 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap, with a notional debt value of $10 million, which expires in 2011. During the term of the agreement, we have a fixed interest rate of 4.82 percent on the notional amount and LaSalle National Bank N.A., as counterparty to the agreement, paid us interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR on the notional amount. Interest payments are made quarterly on a net settlement basis.

This derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting, therefore changes in fair value of the hedge instrument is recognized in earnings. Interest expense was increased for the mark-to-market adjustment of the derivative for the third quarter of 2006 by $.2 million and interest expense was decreased for the first nine months of 2006 by $.1 million. The fair market value of the derivatives resulted in an asset of $.1 million at September 29, 2006, which was determined based on current interest rates and expected trends.

During the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006, we made contributions to our pension plans of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. We do not expect to make additional contributions to our pension plans in the fourth quarter of 2006. We expect to contribute $5.4 million to our pension plans in 2007.

Our liquidity is affected by many factors, some based on the normal operations of our business and others related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economies. Although our cash requirements will fluctuate based on the timing of these factors, we believe that current cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and amounts available under our credit agreement are sufficient to fund our planned capital expenditures, working capital needs and other operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We do not expect future cash flows from discontinued operations to negatively affect future liquidity and capital resources.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R), using the modified-prospective application method for new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the FAS 123R effective date, January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding on January 1, 2006 is recognized based on the fair value estimated on grant date and as the requisite service is rendered on or after January 1, 2006. Prior period financial statements are not restated to reflect the effect of FAS 123R under the modified-prospective transition method.

For the interim period ended September 29, 2006, the effect of the adoption of FAS 123R was a decrease to loss from continuing operations of $.1 million and a decrease to net loss of $.1 million. The favorable adjustment to the results was related to a change in estimate due to the forfeiture of shares of restricted stock for employees who are no longer employed by us.

Compensation expense for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 for restricted stock awards was $.1 million and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Total compensation related to non-vested awards not yet recognized at September 29, 2006 is $.2 million, which we expect to recognize as compensation expense over the next 3 years.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting and financial statement reporting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by us as of January 1, 2007. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial position, operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, "Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (FAS 158). FAS 158 requires an entity to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a defined benefit postretirement plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status, measure a defined benefit postretirement plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year, and recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial position, operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, except as follows:

Effective January 1, 2006, we account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of FAS 123R. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the binomial lattice model, which require the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Information we provide in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in materials we deliver to stockholders and in our press releases. In addition, our representatives may, from time to time, make oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that is not directly related to historical or current fact. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “can,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our future capital needs, stock market conditions, the price of our stock, fluctuations in customer demand, intensity of competition from other vendors, timing and acceptance of our new product introductions, general economic and industry conditions, delays or difficulties in programs designed to increase sales and improve profitability, the settlement of tax issues, the possibility of a final award of material damages in our pending litigation, goodwill impairment, and other risks detailed in this Form 10-Q in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information set forth in this Form 10-Q should be read in light of such risks. We assume no obligation to update the information contained in this Form 10-Q or to revise our forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risks

We are exposed to market risks from interest rate fluctuations relating to our debt. On January 19, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a portion of our debt. We use interest rate swaps to help maintain a balance between fixed and floating rate debt and to manage financing costs.

We performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10 percent increase in interest rates for our debt and interest rate swap agreement as of September 29, 2006. This analysis indicated that a 10 percent increase in interest rates would not have

-24-

a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Actual changes in interest rates and their impact on us could differ materially from this hypothetical analysis.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 29, 2006. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions’ rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 29, 2006, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In August and September 1996, two individual plaintiffs filed lawsuits in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against us, Cerion Technologies, Inc., certain directors and officers of Cerion, and our underwriter, on behalf of all persons who purchased the common stock of Cerion between May 24, 1996 and July 9, 1996. These two complaints were consolidated. In March 1997, the same individual plaintiffs joined by a third plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint. The consolidated complaint alleged that, in connection with Cerion’s initial public offering, the defendants issued materially false and misleading statements and omitted the disclosure of material facts regarding, in particular, certain significant customer relationships. In October 1997, the Circuit Court, on motion by the defendants, dismissed the consolidated complaint. The plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Consolidated Complaint alleging similar claims as the first consolidated complaint seeking damages and injunctive relief. On May 6, 1998, the Circuit Court, on motion by the defendants, dismissed with prejudice the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint. The plaintiffs filed with the Appellate Court an appeal of the Circuit Court’s ruling. On November 19, 1999, the Appellate Court reversed the Circuit Court’s ruling that dismissed the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint. The Appellate Court ruled that the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint represented a valid claim and sent the case back to the Circuit Court for further proceedings. On December 27, 1999, we filed a Petition with the Supreme Court of Illinois. In that Petition, we asked the Supreme Court of Illinois to determine whether the Circuit Court or the Appellate Court is correct. Our Petition was denied and the case was sent to the Circuit Court for trial. On October 8, 2003, the Circuit Court heard motions on a summary judgment motion and a class action certification motion. On August 16, 2005, the Circuit Court issued an order granting the defendants’ motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed the plaintiffs’ Complaint. On September 15, 2005, the plaintiffs appealed the Circuit Court’s grant of Summary Judgment with the Appeals Court. On April 21, 2006, we filed our brief in response to the plaintiff’s appeal. On June 30, 2006, the Appellate Court dismissed the plaintiffs’ appeal of the August 16, 2005 order by the Circuit Court which granted the defendants’ motion for Summary Judgment. On August 4, 2006, the plaintiffs filed a petition with the Supreme Court of Illinois for Leave to Appeal the Appellate Court’s order. We believe that we will receive the value of our 37.1 percent ownership in the Cerion Liquidating Trust which was valued at $1.5 million before income taxes at September 29, 2006. Our investment in Cerion is included under other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On October 14, 2003, Ricoh Company, Ltd., Ricoh Corporation and Ricoh Electronics, Inc. (collectively, “Ricoh”) filed a First Amended Complaint for Patent Infringement, Trademark Infringement, and Unfair Competition joining us as a co-defendant in an action pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Civil Action No. 03-CV-2612 (WHW). The case was originally filed against two other defendants in May 2003. The First Amended Complaint accuses us of willful patent infringement, trademark infringement, trademark counterfeiting, false advertising, false designation of origin, and unfair competition by virtue of its manufacture and sale of toner bottles for use in Ricoh

-25-

photocopiers. Ricoh seeks injunctive relief, damages, attorneys’ fees, treble damages as a result of the alleged willful patent and trademark infringement, and statutory damages. On December 8, 2003, we filed an Answer and Counterclaims denying Ricoh’s allegations, asserting affirmative defenses, and seeking declarations that Ricoh’s patents are invalid and not infringed, and that certain of the patents are also unenforceable.

On November 24, 2003, Ricoh filed Motions for Partial Summary Judgment for Trademark Infringement and Unfair Competition, and for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement of one of the patents-in-suit. Subsequently, the parties agreed to a schedule pursuant to which the defendants would have until January 16, 2004 to conduct discovery relative to the summary judgment motions. On February 5, 2004, the Company joined in co-defendant Katun Corporation’s opposition to Ricoh’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Trademark Infringement and Unfair Competition. On February 23, 2004, we joined in co-defendant Katun Corporation’s Opposition to Ricoh’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement. Katun Corporation also filed a Cross Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of No Trademark Infringement or Unfair Competition and a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Invalidity of the same patent at issue in Ricoh’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement. Ricoh opposed both motions. In August 2004, the parties filed and exchanged briefs setting forth their respective claim construction positions on the asserted claims of the six patents-in-suit.

On April 12, 2005, the District Court granted the defendants’ summary judgment motion relative to trademark infringement and unfair competition, and dismissed the counts related to trademark infringement and unfair competition, narrowing the scope of the suit.

On May 12, 2005, we filed a Motion for Leave to File a First Amended Answer and Counterclaim adding an antitrust counterclaim against Ricoh. Ricoh opposed our motion. On June 3, 2005, the Court denied our motion. On June 20, 2005, we filed a Motion for Reconsideration, which Ricoh also opposed. On July 14, 2005, the Court denied our Motion for Reconsideration.

On August 2, 2005, the Court issued an opinion construing the disputed claim terms of the six patents-in-suit; granting Ricoh’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,075,963 (the “ ‘963 patent”); granting Ricoh’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of “no invalidity” with respect to claim 1 of the ‘963 patent; and denying the defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Invalidity with respect to claim 1 of the ‘963 patent. General Plastics Industrial Co., Ltd. filed a Motion for Reconsideration of certain aspects of the Court’s opinion, which the District Court denied on April 17, 2006.

On September 2, 2005, Ricoh filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on the defendants’ remaining defenses related to the ’963 patent and a motion seeking to permanently enjoin the defendants from selling the Ricoh compatible toner bottles accused of infringement in the suit. On October 17, 2005, the defendants filed an Opposition to Ricoh’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion for Permanent Injunction and are awaiting rulings from the District Court. On December 14, 2005, the defendants filed another Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity of the ‘963 patent. Ricoh has filed a memorandum in opposition and the parties are awaiting a ruling from the District Court.

On May 19, 2006, the defendants jointly filed three additional Motions for Summary Judgment of Noninfringement and Invalidity of the asserted Ricoh patents. On June 26, 2006, Ricoh filed Oppositions to the defendants’ Motions for Summary Judgment, as well as Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment. The defendants’ Replies and Oppositions to Ricoh’s Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment were filed on July 31, 2006.

In early May 2006, the parties completed expert discovery on Ricoh’s patent claims. Discovery on damages and willfulness issues has been bifurcated and will be addressed following completion of the liability phase of the litigation. Discovery on Katun and GPI’s antitrust counterclaims is scheduled to end in May 2007, with any dispositive motions on antitrust issues to be filed by June 29, 2007. No trial date on liability issues has been set.

We believe we are entitled to indemnification from Katun for monies owed as a result of any judgment rendered against us in this litigation, including for damages, costs, Ricoh’s attorney’s fees and interest, as well as for monies paid to Ricoh in settlement of the Ricoh litigation, provided that Katun has consented to the settlement. We and Katun are each responsible for our own attorney’s fees in connection with the litigation.

On November 12, 2004, Sandra Hook, a former employee, filed suit in Chancery Court for Jefferson County, Tennessee claiming discrimination related to the ending of her employment with us in November 2003 and seeking damages in excess of $1.2 million. Prior to filing suit against us, on March 4, 2004, Ms. Hook filed a complaint with the Tennessee Human Rights Commission claiming discrimination in connection with the termination of her employment with us in November 2003. The Tennessee Human Rights Commission completed an investigation and found no basis to continue with a claim against us. On May 27, 2005, Ms. Hook also filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee claiming damages in excess of $1.3 million. On August 21, 2006, the complaint was resolved through remediation. This matter is now closed.

-26-

We are involved in certain environmental matters and have been designated by the Environmental Protection Agency, referred to as the EPA, as a potentially responsible party for certain hazardous waste sites. In addition, we have been notified by certain state environmental agencies that some of our sites not addressed by the EPA require remedial action. These sites are in various stages of investigation and remediation. Due to the unique physical characteristics of each site, the technology employed, the extended timeframes of each remediation, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the financial viability of other potential participants, our ultimate cost of remediation is difficult to estimate. Accordingly, estimates could either increase or decrease in the future due to changes in such factors. At September 29, 2006, based on the facts currently known and our prior experience with these matters, we have concluded that it is probable that site assessment, remediation and monitoring costs will be incurred. We have estimated a range for these costs of $1.0 million to $2.0 million for continuing operations. These estimates could increase if other potentially responsible parties or our insurance carriers are unable or unwilling to bear their allocated share and cannot be compelled to do so. At September 29, 2006, our accrual balances relating to environmental matters were $1.0 million for continuing operations. Based on information currently available, we believe that it is probable that the major potentially responsible parties will fully pay the costs apportioned to them. We believe that our remediation expense is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following important factors, among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

We face significant competition.

The markets for our products are highly competitive, and our ability to effectively compete in those markets is critical to our future success. Our future performance and market position depend on a number of factors, including our ability to react to competitive pricing pressures, our ability to lower manufacturing costs and consolidate production facilities, our ability to introduce new value added products and services to the market and our ability to react to the commoditization of products. Our performance could also be impacted by external factors, such as:

• increasing pricing pressures from competitors in the markets for our products;

• a faster decline than anticipated in the more mature, higher margin product lines, such as heat seal and dry gum products, due to changing technologies;

• natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and pandemic events, which could cause our customers to close a number or all of their stores or operations for an extended period of time causing our sales to be reduced during the period of closure;

• our ability to pass on raw material price increases to customers;

• our ability to pass on increased freight cost due to fuel price increases;

• our ability to pass on utility cost increases; and

• growth in the radio frequency identification label market and our corresponding ability to capture market share.

Our Specialty Paper Products segment operates a manufacturing facility in New Hampshire, which has relatively higher labor and utility costs compared to other parts of the United States where some of our competitors are located or operate. Some of our competitors may be larger in size or scope than we are, which may allow them to achieve greater economies of scale on a global basis or allow them to better withstand periods of declining prices and adverse operating conditions.

In addition, there has been an increasing trend among our customers towards consolidation. With fewer customers in the market for our products, the strength of our negotiating position with these customers could be weakened, which could have an adverse effect on our pricing, margins and profitability.

Increases in raw material costs or the unavailability of raw materials may adversely affect our profitability.

We depend on outside suppliers for most of the raw materials used in our business. Although we believe that adequate supplies of the raw materials we use are available, any significant decrease in supplies, any increase in costs or a greater

-27-

increase in delivery costs for these materials could result in a decrease in our margins, which could harm our financial condition. For example, our Specialty Paper Products and Label Products segments are impacted by the economic conditions and the plant capacity dynamics within the paper and label industry. In general, the availability and pricing of commodity paper such as uncoated face sheet is affected by the capacity of the paper mills producing the products. Increases in the level at which paper manufacturers, or other producers of the raw materials we use in our business, operate could cause increases in the costs of raw materials, which could harm our financial condition if we are unable to recover the cost from our customers. Conversely, an excess supply of materials could result in lower selling prices and the risk of eroded margins.

We have periodically been able to pass on significant raw material cost increases through price increases to our customers. Nonetheless, our results of operations for individual quarters can and have been negatively impacted by delays between the time of raw material cost increases and price increases for our products to customers. Additionally, we may be unable to increase our prices to offset higher raw material costs due to the failure of competitors to increase prices and customer resistance to price increases. Additionally, we rely on our suppliers for deliveries of raw materials. If any of our suppliers were unable to deliver raw materials to us for an extended period of time, there is no assurance that our raw material requirements would be met by other suppliers on acceptable terms, or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation.

Declining returns in the investment portfolio of our defined benefit plans will require us to increase cash contributions to the plans.

Funding for the defined benefit pension plans we sponsor is determined based upon the funded status of the plans and a number of actuarial assumptions, including an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate utilized to compute pension liabilities. As of December 31, 2002, we froze benefits under two of these pension plans: the Nashua Corporation Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. In 2006, we also froze the benefits of the Nebraska and the majority of New Hampshire employees included in the Nashua Hourly Employee retirement plan. Due to the use of updated mortality tables and the discount rate of our defined benefit pension plans in recent years, the defined benefit plans were underfunded as of December 31, 2005 by approximately $32.2 million, based on the actuarial methods and assumptions utilized for purposes of FAS 87 and after giving effect to the planned curtailment of benefits. As a result, we expect to experience an increase in our future cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans. We contributed $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2006 and expect to contribute $5.4 million in 2007. In the event that actual results differ from the actuarial assumptions, the funded status of our defined benefit plans may change and any such resulting deficiency could result in additional charges to equity and against earnings and increase our required cash contributions.

We are dependent on key personnel and on the retention and recruiting of key personnel for our future success.

Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our key administrative manufacturing, sales and senior management personnel. However, our strategy to reduce costs, streamline operations and resolve legacy issues may adversely impact our workforce. We do not have employment agreements with most of our executives and do not maintain key person life insurance on any of these executives. We do have an employment agreement with Thomas G. Brooker, who has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer since May 4, 2006. In addition, on April 24, 2006, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Albert pursuant to which Mr. Albert will become our Executive Chairman commencing on May 4, 2006. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our product development and other business objectives and could harm our business. While we have entered into executive severance agreements with many of our key employees, there can be no assurance that the severance agreements will provide adequate incentives to retain these employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees for key positions. There is competition for qualified employees. We may not be able to retain our key employees or attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees in the future.

We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience from time to time in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications for certain positions.

New technologies or changes in consumer preferences may affect our ability to compete successfully.

We believe that new technologies or novel processes may emerge and that existing technologies may be further developed in the fields in which we operate. These technologies or processes could have an impact on production methods or on product quality in these fields. For example, we believe that a trend in the label business is the transition of barcode labels used in warehousing and distribution into radio frequency identification (RFID) labels. Accordingly, we installed inlet insertion equipment for RFID labels in the first quarter of 2005 and we continue to invest in technology and equipment that should allow us to print and convert RFID labels. However, the widespread use and acceptance of RFID labels cannot be assured nor can the success of our RFID market entry.

-28-

Unexpected rapid changes in employed technologies or the development of novel processes that affect our operations and product range could render the technologies we utilize, or the products we produce, obsolete or less competitive in the future. Difficulties in assessing new technologies may impede us from implementing them and competitive pressures may force us to implement these new technologies at a substantial cost. Any such development could materially and adversely impact our revenues or profitability, or both.

Additionally, the preferences of our customers may change as the result of the availability of alternative products or services, which could impact consumption of our products.

Our strategy to acquire complementary businesses and to divest non-strategic businesses could cause our financial results to fluctuate and could expose us to significant business risks.

An important aspect of our business strategy is to make strategic acquisitions of businesses that complement our label and converting businesses and will expand our customer base and markets, improve distribution efficiencies and enhance our technological capabilities. Acquisitions could result in the consolidation of manufacturing plants. These acquisitions, potential plant consolidations and divestitures could cause our financial results and cash flows to fluctuate. Financial risks from potential acquisitions include the use of our cash resources and incurring debt and liabilities. Further, there are possible operational risks including difficulties in assimilating and integrating the operations, products, technology, information systems and personnel of acquired businesses; the loss of key personnel of acquired businesses; and difficulties honoring commitments made to customers of the acquired businesses prior to the acquisition. There also exists a potential risk of increased direct and indirect costs associated with labor discontent relative to a plant consolidation strategy. Such costs could impact our financial results and our ability to successfully implement plant consolidations. The failure to adequately address these risks could adversely affect our business.

We may be involved in litigation relating to our intellectual property rights, which may have an adverse impact on our business.

We rely on patent protection, as well as a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements and other contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary technology. Litigation may be necessary to enforce these rights, which could result in substantial costs to us and a substantial diversion of management attention. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our competitors or other parties could use the intellectual property that we have developed to enhance their products or make products similar to ours and compete more efficiently with us, which could result in a decrease in our market share.

While we have attempted to ensure that our products and the operations of our business do not infringe on other parties’ patents and proprietary rights, our competitors and other parties may assert that our products and operations may be covered by patents held by them. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware, which may later result in issued patents upon which our products may infringe. If any of our products infringe a valid patent, we could be prevented from selling them unless we obtain a license or redesign the products to avoid infringement. A license may not always be available or may require us to pay substantial royalties. We also may not be successful in any attempt to redesign any of our products to avoid infringement. Infringement and other intellectual property claims, regardless of merit or ultimate outcome, can be expensive and time-consuming and can divert management’s attention from our core business.

Our information systems are critical to our business, and a failure of those systems could materially harm us.

We depend on our ability to store, retrieve, process and manage a significant amount of information. If our information systems fail to perform as expected, or if we suffer an interruption, malfunction or loss of information processing capabilities, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional risks and expenses.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and the NASDAQ Global Market rules, are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and management time and attention. In particular, our

-29-

efforts to comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and our external auditors’ audit of that assessment has required the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources. The SEC has announced a one-year extension for non-accelerated filers for compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which will require us to begin to comply with the Section 404 requirements for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. We expect our compliance efforts to require the continued commitment of significant resources. Additionally, if our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, our reputation may be harmed and we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. Any such action could adversely affect our business and the market price of our stock.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.5

                               NASHUA CORPORATION

                           Restricted Stock Agreement
                                  Granted Under
                       2004 Value Creation Incentive Plan

      This Restricted Stock Agreement (this "Agreement") is made this 1st day of
September 2006 (the "Grant Date"), between NASHUA CORPORATION, a Massachusetts
corporation (the "Company"), and WILLIAM TODD MCKEOWN (the "Participant").

      For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

      1. Grant and Issuance of Shares.

      The Company shall issue to the Participant, and the Participant shall
acquire and accept from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and in the Company's 2004 Value Creation Incentive Plan
(the "Plan"), 15,000 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of the Company ("Common Stock"). The Company shall issue to the
Participant one or more certificates in the name of the Participant for that
number of Shares issued to the Participant. The Participant agrees that the
Shares shall be subject to (without limitation) the forfeiture provisions set
forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and the restrictions on transfer set forth
in Section 4 of this Agreement. The Participant agrees to the provisions set
forth herein and acknowledges that each such provision is a material condition
to the Company's agreement to grant the Shares to the Participant.

      2. Forfeiture of Unvested Shares.

            (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the
earlier of (i) the termination of the Participant's employment with the Company
for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, or upon death or disability,
and (ii) the third anniversary of the Grant Date, all Unvested Shares (as
defined below) shall, without further action of any kind by the Company, be
forfeited to the Company as of the date of such termination of employment.

      "Unvested Shares" at any time means the total number of Shares multiplied
by the Applicable Percentage at such time. The "Applicable Percentage" shall, at
any time, be 100% less the following applicable percentage, if any:

      (i) 33% if the average of the last reported sales price per share of the
Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market (or other national securities exchange
or nationally recognized trading system) for a 40 consecutive trading day period
ending on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the "40-Day Average Closing
Price") is equal to or greater than $13.00 and less than $14.00;

      (ii) 66% if the 40-Day Average Closing Price is equal to or greater than
$14.00 and less than $15.00; and

      (iii) 100% if the 40-Day Average Closing Price is equal to or greater than
$15.00;


provided, however, that in the event the Participant's employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company without "Cause" during the one-year period
beginning on the second anniversary of the Grant Date and ending on the third
anniversary of the Grant Date, then in the event one of the 40-Day Average
Closing Price targets is thereafter met as of the third anniversary of the Grant
Date, the Participant's Shares shall vest as to a percentage of such Shares
equal to the number of days during such one-year period that the Participant was
employed by the Company divided by 365, provided that in no such event shall the
number of Shares to so vest exceed the number that would have otherwise vested
had the Participant been employed as of such third anniversary of the Grant
Date.

            (b) For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company
shall include employment with a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

            (c) For the purposes hereof, "Cause" shall mean (i) the
Participant's continued failure to perform his reasonably assigned duties (other
than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental
illness), which failure is not cured within 60 days after written notice for
substantial performance is received by the Participant from the Board which
identifies the manner in which the Board believes the Participant has not
substantially performed the Participant's duties, (ii) the Participant being
convicted of a felony, or (iii) the Participant's engagement in illegal conduct
or gross misconduct injurious to the Company.

      3. Forfeiture Procedures.

            (a) In the event any Shares are forfeited by the Participant
pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Participant (or the Participant's estate)
shall, pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Escrow Instructions referred to
in Section 5 below, tender to the Company at its principal offices the
certificate or certificates representing the Shares so forfeited, duly endorsed
in blank or with duly endorsed stock powers attached thereto, all in form
suitable for the transfer of such Shares to the Company.

            (b) After the time at which any Shares are required to be delivered
to the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the
Company shall not pay any dividend to the Participant on account of such Shares
or permit the Participant to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a
stockholder with respect to such Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by
law, treat the Company as the owner of such Shares.

      4. Restrictions on Transfer. The Participant shall not sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or
otherwise (collectively "transfer") any Shares, or any interest therein, that
are subject to the forfeiture provisions under Sections 2 and 3 above, except
that the Participant may transfer such Shares (i) to or for the benefit of any
spouse, children, parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, grandchildren and any other
relatives approved by the Board of Directors (collectively, "Approved
Relatives") or to a trust established solely for the benefit of the Participant
and/or Approved Relatives, provided that such Shares shall remain subject to
this Agreement (including without limitation the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section 4 and the forfeiture provisions set forth in Sections 2
and 3 above) and such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such
transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that such
transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of

                                      -2-


this Agreement or (ii) as part of the sale of all or substantially all of the
shares of capital stock of the Company (including pursuant to a merger or
consolidation), provided that, in accordance with the Plan, the securities or
other property received by the Participant in connection with such transaction
shall remain subject to this Agreement.

      5. Escrow.

      The Participant shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, execute Joint
Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. The
Joint Escrow Instructions shall be delivered to the Secretary/Clerk of the
Company, as escrow agent thereunder. The Participant shall deliver to such
escrow agent a stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, in the form attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit B, and hereby instructs the Company to deliver to such
escrow agent, on behalf of the Participant, the certificate(s) evidencing the
Shares issued hereunder. Such materials shall be held by such escrow agent
pursuant to the terms of such Joint Escrow Instructions.

      6. Restrictive Legends.

      All certificates representing Shares shall have affixed thereto legends in
substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be
required under federal or state securities laws:

            "The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to
            restrictions on transfer and an option to purchase set forth in a
            certain Restricted Stock Agreement between the corporation and the
            registered owner of these shares (or owner's predecessor in
            interest), and such Agreement is available for inspection without
            charge at the office of the Clerk/Secretary of the corporation."

      7. Provisions of the Plan.

            (a) This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy
of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement.

            (b) As provided in the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Reorganization
Event (as defined in the Plan), the repurchase and other rights of the Company
hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the Company's successor and shall apply
to the cash, securities or other property which the Shares were converted into
or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to
the same extent as they applied to the Shares under this Agreement. If, in
connection with a Reorganization Event, a portion of the cash, securities and/or
other property received upon the conversion or exchange of the Shares is to be
placed into escrow to secure indemnification or similar obligations, the mix
between the vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or other
property that is placed into escrow shall be the same as the mix between the
vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or other property that
is not subject to escrow.

                                      -3-


      8. Withholding Taxes; Section 83(b) Election.

            (a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the
right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the issuance of the Shares to the Participant or the lapse of the
forfeiture provisions provided for herein.

            (b) The Participant has reviewed with the Participant's own tax
advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this
investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant
is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the
Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant's own
tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant understands that the Participant
may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are acquired rather than when and
as the forfeiture provisions provided for herein expire by filing an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code with the I.R.S. within 30 days from the date of
purchase.

            THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT'S SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION
83(b), EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO
MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PARTICIPANT'S BEHALF.

      9. Miscellaneous.

            (a) No Rights to Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees
that the vesting of the Shares under this Agreement is earned only by continuing
service as an employee at the will of the Company (not through the act of being
hired or being issued Shares hereunder). The Participant further acknowledges
and agrees that the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule
set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued
engagement as an employee or consultant for the vesting period, for any period,
or at all.

            (b) Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign this
Agreement, or any portions thereof, including its rights with respect to the
forfeiture of Shares pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 above, to any person or
persons.

            (c) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this
Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

            (d) Waiver. Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained
in this Agreement may be waived, either generally or in any particular instance,
by the Board of Directors of the Company.

                                      -4-


            (e) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns,
subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this
Agreement.

            (f) Notice. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or five days after
deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address shown
beneath his or its respective signature to this Agreement, or at such other
address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance
with this Section 9(f).

            (g) Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in
this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter
forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and
vice versa.

            (h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the
entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

            (i) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
written instrument executed by both the Company and the Participant.

            (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

            (k) Participant's Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that
he or she: (i) has read this Agreement; (ii) understands the terms and
consequences of this Agreement; and (iii) is fully aware of the legal and
binding effect of this Agreement.

pursuant to the terms of the Agreement in accordance with the following
instructions:

      1. Appointment. Holder irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with
you any certificates evidencing Shares (as defined in the Agreement) to be held
by you hereunder and any additions and substitutions to said Shares. For
purposes of these Joint Escrow Instructions, "Shares" shall be deemed to include
any additional or substitute property. Holder does hereby irrevocably constitute
and appoint you as his attorney-in-fact and agent for the term of this escrow to
execute with respect to such Shares all documents necessary or appropriate to
make such Shares negotiable and to complete any transaction herein contemplated.
Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 1 and the terms of the Agreement,
Holder shall exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company
while the Shares are held by you.

      2. Forfeiture.

forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Holder and the Company hereby
irrevocably authorize and direct you to close the transaction contemplated by
such notice in accordance with the terms of said notice.

            (b) At the Closing, you are directed (i) to date the stock
assignment form or forms necessary for the transfer of the Shares, (ii) to fill

Shares being transferred, and (iii) to deliver same, together with the
certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares to be transferred, to the
Company.

      3. Withdrawal. The Holder shall have the right to withdraw from this
escrow any Shares as to which the forfeiture provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of
the Agreement have terminated or expired.

      4. Duties of Escrow Agent.

            (a) Your duties hereunder may be altered, amended, modified or
revoked only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto.

            (b) You shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties
as are specifically set forth herein and may rely and shall be protected in

to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties. You shall not be personally liable for any act you may do or omit to do
hereunder as Escrow Agent or as attorney-in-fact of Holder while acting in good
faith and in the exercise of your own good judgment, and any act done or omitted
by you pursuant to the advice of your own attorneys shall be conclusive evidence
of such good faith.

            (c) You are hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all
warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person or Company,
excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and are hereby expressly
authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court. In
case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or decree of any court,
you shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person,
firm or Company by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order,
judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside,
vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

            (d) You shall not be liable in any respect on account of the
identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or
purporting to execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or papers
deposited or called for hereunder.

            (e) You shall be entitled to employ such legal counsel and other
experts as you may deem necessary properly to advise you in connection with your
obligations hereunder and may rely upon the advice of such counsel.

            (f) Your rights and responsibilities as Escrow Agent hereunder shall
terminate if (i) you cease to be Secretary of the Company or (ii) you resign by
written notice to each party. In the event of a termination under clause (i),

event of a termination under clause (ii), the Company shall appoint a successor
Escrow Agent hereunder.

securities held by you hereunder, you are authorized and directed to retain in
your possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said securities
until such dispute shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of

                               NASHUA CORPORATION

                           Restricted Stock Agreement
                                  Granted Under
                       2004 Value Creation Incentive Plan

      This Restricted Stock Agreement (this "Agreement") is made this 1st day of
September 2006 (the "Grant Date"), between NASHUA CORPORATION, a Massachusetts
corporation (the "Company"), and THOMAS M. KUBIS (the "Participant").

      For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

      1. Grant and Issuance of Shares.

      The Company shall issue to the Participant, and the Participant shall
acquire and accept from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and in the Company's 2004 Value Creation Incentive Plan
(the "Plan"), 15,000 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of the Company ("Common Stock"). The Company shall issue to the
Participant one or more certificates in the name of the Participant for that
number of Shares issued to the Participant. The Participant agrees that the
Shares shall be subject to (without limitation) the forfeiture provisions set
forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and the restrictions on transfer set forth
in Section 4 of this Agreement. The Participant agrees to the provisions set
forth herein and acknowledges that each such provision is a material condition
to the Company's agreement to grant the Shares to the Participant.

      2. Forfeiture of Unvested Shares.

            (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the
earlier of (i) the termination of the Participant's employment with the Company
for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, or upon death or disability,
and (ii) the third anniversary of the Grant Date, all Unvested Shares (as
defined below) shall, without further action of any kind by the Company, be
forfeited to the Company as of the date of such termination of employment.

      "Unvested Shares" at any time means the total number of Shares multiplied
by the Applicable Percentage at such time. The "Applicable Percentage" shall, at
any time, be 100% less the following applicable percentage, if any:

      (i) 33% if the average of the last reported sales price per share of the
Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market (or other national securities exchange
or nationally recognized trading system) for a 40 consecutive trading day period
ending on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the "40-Day Average Closing
Price") is equal to or greater than $13.00 and less than $14.00;

      (ii) 66% if the 40-Day Average Closing Price is equal to or greater than
$14.00 and less than $15.00; and

      (iii) 100% if the 40-Day Average Closing Price is equal to or greater than
$15.00;



provided, however, that in the event the Participant's employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company without "Cause" during the one-year period
beginning on the second anniversary of the Grant Date and ending on the third
anniversary of the Grant Date, then in the event one of the 40-Day Average
Closing Price targets is thereafter met as of the third anniversary of the Grant
Date, the Participant's Shares shall vest as to a percentage of such Shares
equal to the number of days during such one-year period that the Participant was
employed by the Company divided by 365, provided that in no such event shall the
number of Shares to so vest exceed the number that would have otherwise vested
had the Participant been employed as of such third anniversary of the Grant
Date.

            (b) For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company
shall include employment with a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

            (c) For the purposes hereof, "Cause" shall mean (i) the
Participant's continued failure to perform his reasonably assigned duties (other
than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental
illness), which failure is not cured within 60 days after written notice for
substantial performance is received by the Participant from the Board which
identifies the manner in which the Board believes the Participant has not
substantially performed the Participant's duties, (ii) the Participant being
convicted of a felony, or (iii) the Participant's engagement in illegal conduct
or gross misconduct injurious to the Company.

      3. Forfeiture Procedures.

            (a) In the event any Shares are forfeited by the Participant
pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Participant (or the Participant's estate)
shall, pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Escrow Instructions referred to
in Section 5 below, tender to the Company at its principal offices the
certificate or certificates representing the Shares so forfeited, duly endorsed
in blank or with duly endorsed stock powers attached thereto, all in form
suitable for the transfer of such Shares to the Company.

            (b) After the time at which any Shares are required to be delivered
to the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the
Company shall not pay any dividend to the Participant on account of such Shares
or permit the Participant to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a
stockholder with respect to such Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by
law, treat the Company as the owner of such Shares.

      4. Restrictions on Transfer. The Participant shall not sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or
otherwise (collectively "transfer") any Shares, or any interest therein, that
are subject to the forfeiture provisions under Sections 2 and 3 above, except
that the Participant may transfer such Shares (i) to or for the benefit of any
spouse, children, parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, grandchildren and any other
relatives approved by the Board of Directors (collectively, "Approved
Relatives") or to a trust established solely for the benefit of the Participant
and/or Approved Relatives, provided that such Shares shall remain subject to
this Agreement (including without limitation the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section 4 and the forfeiture provisions set forth in Sections 2
and 3 above) and such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such
transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that such
transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of

                                       -2-


this Agreement or (ii) as part of the sale of all or substantially all of the
shares of capital stock of the Company (including pursuant to a merger or
consolidation), provided that, in accordance with the Plan, the securities or
other property received by the Participant in connection with such transaction
shall remain subject to this Agreement.

      5. Escrow.

      The Participant shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, execute Joint
Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. The
Joint Escrow Instructions shall be delivered to the Secretary/Clerk of the
Company, as escrow agent thereunder. The Participant shall deliver to such
escrow agent a stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, in the form attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit B, and hereby instructs the Company to deliver to such
escrow agent, on behalf of the Participant, the certificate(s) evidencing the
Shares issued hereunder. Such materials shall be held by such escrow agent
pursuant to the terms of such Joint Escrow Instructions.

      6. Restrictive Legends.

      All certificates representing Shares shall have affixed thereto legends in
substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be
required under federal or state securities laws:

            "The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to
            restrictions on transfer and an option to purchase set forth in a
            certain Restricted Stock Agreement between the corporation and the
            registered owner of these shares (or owner's predecessor in
            interest), and such Agreement is available for inspection without
            charge at the office of the Clerk/Secretary of the corporation."

      7. Provisions of the Plan.

            (a) This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy
of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement.

            (b) As provided in the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Reorganization
Event (as defined in the Plan), the repurchase and other rights of the Company
hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the Company's successor and shall apply
to the cash, securities or other property which the Shares were converted into
or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to
the same extent as they applied to the Shares under this Agreement. If, in
connection with a Reorganization Event, a portion of the cash, securities and/or
other property received upon the conversion or exchange of the Shares is to be
placed into escrow to secure indemnification or similar obligations, the mix
between the vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or other
property that is placed into escrow shall be the same as the mix between the
vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or other property that
is not subject to escrow.

                                      -3-


      8. Withholding Taxes; Section 83(b) Election.

            (a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the
right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the issuance of the Shares to the Participant or the lapse of the
forfeiture provisions provided for herein.

            (b) The Participant has reviewed with the Participant's own tax
advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this
investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant
is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the
Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant's own
tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant understands that the Participant
may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are acquired rather than when and
as the forfeiture provisions provided for herein expire by filing an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code with the I.R.S. within 30 days from the date of
purchase.

            THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT'S SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION
83(b), EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO
MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PARTICIPANT'S BEHALF.

      9. Miscellaneous.

            (a) No Rights to Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees
that the vesting of the Shares under this Agreement is earned only by continuing
service as an employee at the will of the Company (not through the act of being
hired or being issued Shares hereunder). The Participant further acknowledges
and agrees that the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule
set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued
engagement as an employee or consultant for the vesting period, for any period,
or at all.

            (b) Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign this
Agreement, or any portions thereof, including its rights with respect to the
forfeiture of Shares pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 above, to any person or
persons.

            (c) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this
Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

            (d) Waiver. Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained
in this Agreement may be waived, either generally or in any particular instance,
by the Board of Directors of the Company.

                                      -4-


            (e) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns,
subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this
Agreement.

            (f) Notice. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or five days after
deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address shown
beneath his or its respective signature to this Agreement, or at such other
address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance
with this Section 9(f).

            (g) Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in
this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter
forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and
vice versa.

            (h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the
entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

            (i) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
written instrument executed by both the Company and the Participant.

            (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

            (k) Participant's Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that
he or she: (i) has read this Agreement; (ii) understands the terms and
consequences of this Agreement; and (iii) is fully aware of the legal and
binding effect of this Agreement.

you shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person,
firm or Company by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order,
judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside,
vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

            (d) You shall not be liable in any respect on account of the
identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or
purporting to execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or papers
deposited or called for hereunder.
