<p> <em>Credit Risk:</em>&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;The Company routinely grants credit to its customers. The risk of significant loss in trade receivables is substantially mitigated by the Company&#x2019;s credit evaluation process, short collection terms, low revenue per transaction and services performed for a large number of customers with no single customer representing more than 6.0 percent of consolidated operating revenue. Allowances for potential credit losses are based on historical loss experience, current economic environment, expected trends and customer specific factors.</p>
