H. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We are subject to claims, charges, litigation and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, product recalls, construction defects, insurance coverage, personnel and employment disputes, antitrust and other matters, including class actions.  We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters and that the likelihood that the outcome of these matters would have a material adverse effect on us is remote.  However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters, and we could in the future incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of operations.

 

A corporate leased asset used by Masco was terminated and an accrual was established in 2014 for the difference between estimated proceeds and the contractual value.  The corporate leased asset was disposed of on April 1, 2015 for the expected proceeds, and we received reimbursement from Masco.
