To start that due diligence and arrange for a contract, or renew an existing relationship, reach out to the Legal Department contact for your business or function for guidance on the process.

These contracts will expire in 2013, although they contain two five-year renewal provisions that are at our option. Our ability to pay interest on our debt and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend in part upon our future financial and operating performance and that of our subsidiaries and upon our ability to renew or refinance borrowings. Long-term trends that currently provide opportunities to leverage our strategy include the drive toward sustainability in polymers and their processing, the emergence of biodegradable and bio-based polymers, consumer concern over the use of bisphenol-A (BPA) in infant-care products and developing legislation that bans lead and certain phthalates from toys and child-care items.

The Continuity Agreements are automatically renewed each year unless we give prior notice of termination and do not provide any assurance of continued employment.
