In accordance with General Instruction B.2 to the Form 8-K, the information
under this Item 7.01 and the press release exhibit to this Form 8-K shall
not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that Section 18, nor shall such information and exhibit be
deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless the
registrant expressly states that such information and exhibit are to be

This current report on Form 8-K, the oral public statements made by a
representative of the registrant during the aforementioned webcasts and the
related investor materials may contain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements are based on information
currently available to the registrant's management and are current only as
of the date made. For that reason, undue reliance should not be placed on
any such forward-looking statement. Actual results could also differ
materially from those anticipated as a result of a number of factors,
including, but not limited to, those discussed in the registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The registrant
assumes no duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement, although it may do so from time to time as management believes
is warranted. Any such updates or revisions may be made by filing reports
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, through the issuance of press
releases or by other methods of public disclosure.
