The information set forth in this Item 7.01, the attached exhibits, as well as statements made by representatives of the Partnership during the course of the presentation, includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Item 7.01, the attached exhibits, or made during the course of the presentation, that address activities, events or developments that the Partnership expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Partnership in reliance on its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors the Partnership believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Such statements are inherently uncertain and are subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond the Partnership’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Partnership’s actual results and plans could differ materially from those implied or expressed by any forward-looking statement.
The Partnership undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. For a detailed list of the Partnership’s risk factors and other cautionary statements, including without limitation risks related to the production, gathering, processing, and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids, please consult the Partnership’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the Partnership’s Forms 10-Q, filed with the SEC for subsequent quarters, as well as any other public filings and press releases.
