B. | Unconditional Purchase Obligations

The Company enters into short-term unconditional purchase obligations with asset-based providers reserving space on a guaranteed basis. The pricing of these obligations varies to some degree with market conditions. The Company only enters into agreements that management believes the Company can fulfill with relative ease. Historically, the Company has met these obligations in the normal course of business. Management believes, in line with historical experience, committed purchase obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2013 of $71,793, will be fulfilled during 2014 in the Company’s ordinary course of business.

C. | Employee Benefits

The Company has employee savings plans under which the Company provides a discretionary matching contribution. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s contributions under the plans were $7,768, $7,523, and $6,312, respectively.
