Disclosures Statements in this presentation which are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by, the Company at the time this presentation was made. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that they will be attained. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events, unless it is required to do so under the securities laws. The Company makes no prediction or statement about the performance of its common units.

EBITDA is presented to provide additional information with respect to the Company's ability to satisfy its obligations including debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and determination of dividends. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. 2
