seeking and obtaining court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity
period for the company to propose and confirm one or more plans of reorganization,
for the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or to convert the cases to
Chapter 7 cases; the company's ability to achieve necessary reductions
in labor costs; the company's ability to obtain and maintain normal terms
with vendors and service providers; the company's ability to maintain contracts
that are critical to its operations; the potential adverse impact of the
Chapter 11 cases on the company's liquidity or results of operations; the
costs and availability of financing; the company's ability to execute its
business plan; the company's ability to attract, motivate and/or retain
key employees; the company's ability to attract and retain customers; demand
for transportation in the markets in which the company operates; general
