| Components of the indemnification | In connection with the Ply Gem acquisition, in which Ply Gem Industries was acquired from Nortek in February 2004, Nortek has agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities as set forth in the stock purchase agreement governing the Ply Gem acquisition. In the event Nortek is unable to satisfy amounts due under these indemnifications, the Company would be liable. The Company believes that Nortek has the financial capacity to honor its indemnification obligations and therefore does not anticipate incurring any losses related to liabilities indemnified by Nortek under the stock purchase agreement. A receivable related to this indemnification has been recorded in other long-term assets in the approximate amount of $1.4 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has recorded liabilities related to these indemnifications of approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in current liabilities and $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in long-term liabilities, consisting of the following:
