Legal and Administrative Proceedings

The Corporation is engaged in certain legal and administrative proceedings incidental to its normal business activities. In the opinion of management and counsel, based upon currently-available facts, it is remote that the ultimate outcome of any litigation and other proceedings, including those pertaining to environmental matters, relating to the Corporation and its subsidiaries, will have a material adverse effect on the overall results of the Corporation's operations, its cash flows or its financial position.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation settled legal proceedings relating to its Greenwood, Missouri, operation for approximately $7,000,000. In connection with the settlement, the Corporation reversed the excess of the established legal reserve, thereby increasing net earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 by $2,751,000, or $0.06 per diluted share.

Guarantee of Affiliate

In July 2010, the Corporation entered into a reimbursement and indemnification agreement with Fifth Third Bank ("Fifth Third") to guarantee the repayment of amounts borrowed by an affiliate under a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit provided by Fifth Third and a guaranty agreement with Bank of America, N.A., to guarantee $12,400,000 of payment obligations of its affiliate under equipment lease agreements. The affiliate agreed to reimburse and indemnify the Corporation for any payments and expenses the Corporation may incur from these agreements. The Corporation holds a subordinate lien of the affiliate's assets as collateral for potential payments under the agreements. On April 8, 2011, the affiliate converted its equipment leasing agreements with Bank of America, N.A. to a five-year $6,200,000 amortizing loan and the Corporation executed a reaffirmation of guaranty with respect to such loan. On July 20, 2011, the affiliate's $20,000,000 revolving line of credit was increased to $24,000,000. Additionally, the reimbursement and indemnification agreement related to this line of credit was terminated and replaced by an unconditional guaranty of payment from the Corporation. The affiliate restated its reimbursement and indemnity obligations to the Corporation, and the Corporation retained its subordinate lien on the assets of the affiliate.
