Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The exhibit hereto may contain certain estimates, statements of belief and assumptions that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or covered by the “Bespeaks Caution” doctrine applied by the courts under the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements are based on current plans, expectations, estimates and beliefs about the value of the assets of the Trust. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future payments to holders of beneficial interests in the Trust (“Liquidating Trust Interests”) and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks include, among other factors: (i) the Trust’s ability to obtain Court approval with respect to motions in the Debtors’ chapter 11 proceedings prosecuted by the Trust from time to time; (ii) the Trust’s ability to resolve disputed claims; (iii) risks associated with any litigation and other claims that might be brought against the Debtors or by or against the Trust in the future during the anticipated initial three year term of the Trust (which term may be extended for up to three more years or a maximum of six years, subject to certain limited exceptions, with the approval of the Court); and (iv) there is no liquidity for the Liquidating Trust Interests issued by the Trust, which are non-certificated and non-transferable other than by will, intestate succession or operation of law.
