cautioned that these statements are only projections. Actual events or results may differ
materially. These statements are based upon certain assumptions and analyses the Marketing Agent
made based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments, as well as other factors believed appropriate in the circumstances. Whether or not
actual results and developments will conform to the Marketing Agents expectations and predictions,

proportionately.
