 on then-prevailing conditions in the real estate market, such as overall changes in lease expenses, competition from other would-be tenants for desirable leased spaces and the relationships of the operating entities with current and prospective building owners and landlords, or other factors that are not within their control. If the operating entities are not able to renew or replace an expiring lease agreement, they will incur significant costs related to vacating that space or redeveloping the space, which could result in loss of customers who may have chosen that space based on the design, location or other attributes of that particular space.

The operating entities depend on third parties for certain construction, maintenance, engineering, transportation, warehousing, and logistics services.

The operating entities contract with third parties, typically for a period of six to 18 months, for certain services relating to the design, construction, and maintenance of various components of the operating entities’ production facilities and other systems. If these third parties fail to comply with their obligations, the operating entities may experience delay in the completion of new facilities or expansions of existing facilities or the facilities may not operate as intended, which may result in delays in the production of the operating entities’ products and materially and adversely affect the operating entities’ ability to meet their production capacity targets and satisfy customer requirements or they may be required to recognize impairment charges. In addition, production delays could cause the operating entities to miss deliveries and breach the operating entities’ contracts, which could damage their relationships with their customers and subject them to claims for damages under their contracts. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the operating entities’ business and financial results.

The operating entities also rely primarily on third parties for the transportation of the products they manufacture. The operating entities’ contracts with these third parties are usually for one to two years. If any of the third parties that the operating entities use to transport products are unable to deliver the goods they manufacture in a timely manner, they may be unable to sell these products at full value, or at all, which could cause them to miss deliveries and breach their contracts, which could damage their relationships with their customers and subject them to claims for damages under the contracts. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the operating entities’ business and financial results.

Future acquisitions may have an adverse effect on the operating entities’ ability to manage their business.

The operating entities may acquire businesses, technologies, services, or products which are complementary to their core activated carbon and biomass electricity businesses. Future acquisitions may expose them to potential risks
