We are dependent on a limited number of key customers or distributors for a substantial portion of the net sales in each of our business segments. We face competitive pressures with respect to all of our major products. Successful implementation and roll-out of product innovations is necessary to preserve customer relationships. Our dependence on commodities subjects us to price fluctuations and potential availability constraints which could materially adversely affect our profitability. We are dependent on a limited number of key suppliers for certain raw materials. If our products or components purchased from our suppliers experience performance issues, our business will suffer. If our integrated global manufacturing operations suffer production or shipping delays, we may experience difficulty in meeting customer demands. Our significant international operations present economic, political and other risks. We may not fully realize the anticipated savings from previously announced restructuring actions and may need to undertake further restructuring actions in the future. We may need to recognize impairment charges related to fixed assets, amortizable intangible assets or goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite lives. We have significant unfunded obligations under employee benefit plans. We may not fully realize anticipated benefits from prior or future acquisitions or equity investments. We may incur costs and may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and in defending claims that we are infringing on the intellectual property of others. Our ability to obtain additional capital on commercially reasonable terms may be limited. A significant uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insurance coverage could materially adversely affect our financial condition. Compliance with domestic and foreign environmental laws and potential environmental liabilities may have a material adverse impact. We may experience significant variability in our effective tax rate.
