<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about financial restructuring or strategic alternatives and the Partnership&#146;s expectations of plans, goals, strategies (including measures to implement strategies), objectives and anticipated results with respect thereto.&#160; These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Partnership based on its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances, but such assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Such statements are also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Partnership, which may cause the Partnership&#146;s actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements.&#160; These include risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things: the ability to confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization; the bankruptcy process, including the effects thereof on Partnership&#146;s business and on the interests of various constituents, the length of time that the Partnership may be required to operate in bankruptcy and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of such proceedings; third party motions in any bankruptcy case, which may interfere with the ability to confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization; the potential adverse effects of bankruptcy proceedings on the Partnership&#146;s liquidity or results of operations; increased costs to execute the financial restructuring; the Partnership&#146;s efforts to reduce leverage; the Partnership&#146;s level of indebtedness including its ability to satisfy its debt obligations; risks related to the Partnership&#146;s ability to generate sufficient cash flow and to make payments on its obligations and to execute its business plan; the Partnership&#146;s ability to access funds on acceptable terms, if at all, because of the terms and conditions governing the Partnership&#146;s indebtedness or otherwise; the uncertainty of the impact that any financial restructuring implemented will have on the market for the Partnership&#146;s publicly traded securities; tax consequences of business transactions; and changes in commodity prices and hedge positions and the risk that the Partnership&#146;s hedging strategy may be ineffective or may reduce its income. Please read the Partnership&#146;s filings with the SEC, including &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the Partnership&#146;s Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K, and if applicable, the Partnership&#146;s Quarterly Reports on Form&nbsp;10-Q and Current Reports on Form&nbsp;8-K, which are available on the Partnership&#146;s Investor Relations website at http://investor.memorialpp.com/sec.cfm or on the SEC&#146;s website at http://www.sec.gov, for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those in such forward-looking statements.&#160; You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K. All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except as required by law, the Partnership undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results or otherwise.</font></p>
