Cautionary Note Regarding Trading in the Company's Class A Common Stock


The Company's stockholders are cautioned that trading in shares of the Company's Class A common stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases and after the Effective Date remains highly speculative and will pose substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company's Class A common stock may bear little or no relation to actual value, if any, remaining for holders thereof following the Chapter 11 Cases and the trading market (if any) may be very limited. In addition, the Plan includes the NOL Trading Restrictions, which are designed to enable the Company to optimize its tax attributes following the Effective Date and generally restrict transactions involving any person or group of persons that is or as a result of such a transaction would become a substantial stockholder (i.e., would beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 4.5% or more of all issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock). Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its Class A common stock.
