related mandates could potentially be forthcoming and these matters, if enacted, could adversely impact our costs, including, among
other things, increasing fuel prices.
Our business is subject to employment laws and regulations, including requirements related to minimum wage. Our success depends,
in part, on our ability to manage operating costs and to look for opportunities to reduce costs. Our ability to meet labor needs, while
controlling costs is subject to external factors such as minimum wage legislation. A violation of or change in such laws and/or
regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Healthcare reform legislation could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The enacted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform legislation considered by Congress and
state legislators, could significantly impact our healthcare cost structure and increase our healthcare-related expenses. We are
currently evaluating the potential impact the healthcare reform legislation will have on our business and the steps necessary to mitigate
the impacts, including potential modifications to our current benefit plans, operational changes to minimize the impact of the
legislation to our cost structure and increases to selling prices to mitigate the expected increase in healthcare-related expenses. If we
cannot effectively modify our programs and operations in response to the new legislation, our results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows may be adversely impacted.
