Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities.
We are subject to various federal, state, local and non-U.S. laws and regulations related to
environmental protection, including the discharge, treatment, storage, disposal and remediation of
hazardous substances and wastes. We could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines
and civil or criminal sanctions, as well as third-party claims for property damage or personal injury, if
we were to violate or become liable under environmental laws or regulations. In some cases, we may
be subject to such costs due to environmental impacts attributable to our current or past manufacturing
operations or the operations of companies we have acquired. In other cases, we may become subject
to such costs due to an indemnification agreement between us and a third party relating to such
environmental liabilities. In addition, new laws and regulations, more stringent enforcement of existing
laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new
remediation requirements could result in additional costs. For additional information relating to
environmental contingencies, see Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
