Environmental, Safety and Health Matters
We believe, based upon present information available to us, that our accruals with respect to future
environmental cost are adequate and any future cost will not have a material effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures or competitive position. Some
factors, however, could result in additional expenditures or the provision of additional accruals in
expectation of such expenditures. These include the imposition of more stringent requirements under
environmental laws or regulations, new developments or changes regarding site cleanup cost or the
allocation of such cost among potentially responsible parties, or a determination that we are potentially
responsible for the release of hazardous substances at sites other than those currently identified.
