This release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial. 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 "Risk Factors" from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this release may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should," "planned," "will," "may," "intend," "estimated," "aim," "on track," "target," "opportunity" and "potential," among others. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this release are set forth in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to:

  --  our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from operating
      activities by offering video, high-speed Internet, telephone and other
      services to residential and commercial customers, and to maintain and
      grow our customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly
      aggressive competition and the difficult economic conditions in the
      United States;
  --  the impact of competition from other distributors, including but not
      limited to incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite
      operators, wireless broadband providers, and digital subscriber line
      ("DSL") providers and competition from video provided over the
      Internet;
  --  general business conditions, economic uncertainty or downturn and the
      significant downturn in the housing sector and overall economy;
  --  our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to raise
      prices to offset, in whole or in part, the effects of higher
      programming costs (including retransmission consents);
  --  our ability to adequately deliver customer service;
  --  the effects of governmental regulation on our business;
  --  the availability and access, in general, of funds to meet our debt
      obligations, prior to or when they become due, and to fund our
      operations and necessary capital expenditures, either through (i) cash
      on hand, (ii) cash flows from operating activities, (iii) access to
      the capital or credit markets including through new issuances,
      exchange offers or otherwise, especially given recent volatility and
      disruption in the capital and credit markets, or (iv) other sources
      and our ability to fund debt obligations (by dividend, investment or
      otherwise) to the applicable obligor of such debt; and
  --  our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit
      facilities, any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner,
      could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default
      provisions.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We are under no duty or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this release.
