        Merger Agreement, which is being filed to provide investors with information

        Merger Sub, New Star and the Equityholders (as defined in the Merger

        negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In addition, certain
        representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject
        to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a stockholder
        might
        view as material, or may have been made for purposes of allocating contractual
        risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as
        facts.&#160;&#160;Accordingly, investors should not view the representations and
        warranties contained in the Merger Agreement as disclosures with respect
        to the
        actual state of facts concerning the business, operations or condition of
        any of
        the parties to the Merger Agreement and should not rely on them as
