  Such forward-looking statements are and will be, as the case may be,

  subject to the terms of the debtor in possession financing; (iii) the

  Company's ability to obtain court approval with respect to motions in the
  proceedings under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
  (collectively, the "Chapter 11 Cases") prosecuted by it from time to time; (v) risks
  associated with termination of the Agreement and financing availability; (vi) risks
  associated with third parties seeking and obtaining the appointment of a
  chapter 11 trustee or to convert the cases to chapter 7 cases; (vii) the
  Company's ability to maintain contracts and leases that are critical to its
  operations; (viii) the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 Cases on
  the Company's liquidity or results of operations; (ix) the ability of the
  Company to execute its business plans and strategy; (x) the ability of the
  Company to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives and associates; and
