default under the agreement governing such indebtedness and inability to borrow additional amounts
under our revolving credit facility. Upon our failure to maintain compliance with these covenants, the
lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable
and terminate all commitments to extend further credit thereunder. If the lenders under such
indebtedness accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot make assurances that we will have
sufficient assets to repay those borrowings, as well as our other indebtedness, including our outstanding
notes.
New accounting guidance or changes in the interpretation or application of existing accounting guidance
could adversely affect our financial performance.
The implementation of proposed new accounting standards may require extensive systems, internal
process and other changes that could increase our operating costs, and may also result in changes to
our financial statements. In particular, the implementation of expected future accounting standards
related to leases, as currently being contemplated by the convergence project between the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) and the International Accounting Standards Board (‘‘IASB’’), as
well as the possible adoption of international financial reporting standards by U.S. registrants, could
require us to make significant changes to our lease management, fixed asset, and other accounting
systems, and, if implemented, are likely to result in significant changes to our financial statements.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements,
implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant
to our business involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management.
Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or
judgments by our management could significantly change our reported or expected financial
performance. The outcome of such changes could include litigation or regulatory actions which could
have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
