While these factors and assumptions are considered reasonable by

joint ventures, joint arrangements and operations; the potential
impact of the consummation of the Arrangement on relationships,

political conditions, including changes in the financial markets;
changes in applicable laws; compliance with extensive government
regulation; and the diversion of management time on the

results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause
results not to be as anticipated, estimated, forecasted or intended
and readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive
of all factors and assumptions which may have been used. Should one
or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those described in forward-looking information.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that forward-looking
information will prove to be accurate and forward-looking
information is not a guarantee of future performance. Readers are
advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
