Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of the
operations of the Company business. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law
and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be
determined with certainty. However, based upon present information, the Company believes that its ultimate liability, if any,
arising from pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted,
should not be material to the Company's financial position, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.
These liabilities, however, could be material to results of operations or cash flows for a particular quarter or year.
