"potential," "continue," "ongoing," "goal," "can," "seek," "target" or the

timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the Company's business and
the price of the Company Common Stock; (ii) the failure to satisfy any of the
conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction; (iii) the occurrence
of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to
the termination of the Merger Agreement, including in circumstances requiring
the Company to pay a termination fee; (iv) the effect of the announcement or
pendency of the proposed transaction on the Company's business relationships,
operating results and business generally; (v) risks that the proposed
transaction disrupts the Company's current plans and operations; (vi) the
Company's ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships
with key business partners and customers, and others with whom it does business,
in light of the proposed transaction; (vii) risks related to diverting
management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations; (viii)
unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed Merger; (ix)
potential and ongoing litigation (including the Merger Actions) relating to the

Agreement or their respective directors, managers or officers, including the
effects of any outcomes related thereto; (x) continued availability of capital
and financing and rating agency actions; (xi) certain restrictions during the
pendency of the Merger that may impact the Company's ability to pursue certain
business opportunities or strategic transactions; (xii) unpredictability and
severity of catastrophic events, including but not limited to acts of terrorism,
