Disclosure of quantitative information about leases for lessee [abstract]

The Company has building leases for office space for corporate and shared service functions, manufacturing facilities and warehouse space for inventory, manufacturing equipment leases (e.g. forklifts, tractor trailers, and storage containers) and automobile leases. Refer to Note 9 for additional information regarding right-of-use-assets.

Each lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Company to sublet the asset to another party, the right-of-use asset can only be used by the Company. Leases are either non-cancellable or may only be cancelled by

incurring a termination fee. Some leases contain an option to purchase the underlying leased asset outright at the end of the lease, or to extend the lease for an additional term. For leases of office buildings and manufacturing facilities the Company must keep the properties in a good state of repair and return the properties in their original condition at the end of the lease. Further, the Company must insure items of property, plant and equipment and incur maintenance fees on such items in accordance with the lease contracts.
