CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities

statements set forth in the "Results
of Operations"
and
"Liquidity

sections
under Part I, Item 2. "Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations"
in this
quarterly
report.
Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected
in or
suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure
you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties
and
assumptions including, without limitation, the factors described under
"Certain
Trends and Uncertainties"
under
Part I, Item 2. "Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations"
in this
quarterly
report.
Many of
the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly
report may
be
identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should," "planned," "will," "may," "intend," "estimated"
and
"potential"
among
others. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the forward-looking statements we make in this quarterly

set
forth in this quarterly

other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, and

our
ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from operating

the face
of increasingly aggressive competition from other service
providers;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit

ability to pay or refinance debt as it becomes
due;
