Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor "Provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

     The matters discussed in this report on Form 8-K, when not historical
matters, are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
projected results. Such factors include, among others, the willingness and
ability of third parties to honor their contractual obligations, the decisions
of third parties over which the Company has no control, commodity prices,
environmental and government regulations, availability of financing, judicial
proceedings, force majeure events, and other risk factors as described from time
to time in the Company's filings with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond
the Company's ability to control or predict. The Company disclaims any intent or
obligation to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
receiving new information, the occurrence of future events, or otherwise.
