The use of any of the words "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Certain of these risks and uncertainties include: the combined business is capital intensive and may consume cash in excess of cash flow from its operations and borrowings; the combined business' growth strategy depends, in part, on acquiring other solid waste management or related businesses and expanding existing landfills and other operations, which the combined business may be unable to do; the combined business may not be able to successfully manage its growth; the combined business faces risks related to certain deficiencies in the operation of the combined business' internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; competition could reduce the combined business' profitability or limit its ability to grow; provincial, state and municipal requirements to reduce landfill disposal by encouraging various alternatives may adversely affect the combined business' ability to operate landfills at full capacity; the combined business may lose contracts through competitive bidding or early termination, which would cause revenue to decline; the combined business' U.S. operations are geographically concentrated in the northeastern and southern United States and susceptible to those regions' local economies and regulations; the loss of the City of New York as a customer could have a significant adverse effect on the combined business' operations; the ability of the combined business to pay dividends or make other payments or advances (which will support distributions on the Fund's units) will be subject to applicable laws and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing the indebtedness of those entities; the degree to which the combined business is leveraged could adversely affect its financial condition and make it more difficult for the combined business to make payments with respect to its debt; despite its current indebtedness, the combined business may require additional equity or debt financing to fund its growth and debt repayment obligations; the ability of the combined business to service its debt, remain competitive, sustain its growth and expand its operations will require large amounts of cash, and the combined business' ability to generate cash depends on many factors, some of which are beyond its control; the interests of the retained interest holders and their affiliates could conflict with those of other investors; the combined business depends heavily on its senior management; if the combined business is unable to obtain performance or surety bonds, letters of credit or insurance, the combined business may not be able to enter into additional municipal solid waste collection contracts or retain necessary landfill operations permits; the combined business is subject to extensive legislation and governmental regulation that may restrict its operations or increase its costs of operations; the combined business may not be able to obtain permits it requires to operate its business; the combined business may be subject to legal action relating to compliance with environmental laws; the combined business may have liability for environmental contamination; and the combined business will always face the risk of liability, and insurance may not always be available or sufficient.
