This presentation contains forward-looking statements and information. These forward-looking statements, which in many instances can be identified by words like “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “project,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “potential,” and other comparable words, regarding future or contemplated performance, transaction, or events, are based on MarkWest’s current information, expectations and beliefs, concerning future developments and their potential effects on MarkWest.Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements, including those referring to future performance, growth, cash flow, income, distributions, coverage ratios, dividends, or other items or events, are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations or the assumptions behind them will prove to be correct, or that projected performance or distributions will be achieved. The forward-looking statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, which are identified below and further discussed in the attached Appendix to this Presentation, which should be carefully reviewed and considered. If any of the uncertainties or risks develop into actual events, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, it could cause actual results to vary significantly from those expressed in the presentation, and our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Key uncertainties and risks that may directly affect MarkWest’s performance, future growth, results of operations and financial condition, include:Fluctuations and volatility of natural gas, NGL product and oil prices; A reduction in natural gas or refinery off-gas production which we gather, transport, process, and/or fractionate; A reduction in the demand for the products we produce and sell; Financial credit risks / failure of customers to satisfy payment or other obligations under our contracts; Effects of our debt and other financial obligations on our future financial or operational flexibility; Construction, procurement, and regulatory risks in our development projects; Hurricanes, fires, and other natural and accidental events impacting our operations; Terrorist attacks directed at our facilities or related facilities; Changes in and impacts of laws and regulations affecting our operations; and Failure to integrate recent or future acquisitions.
