Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "PSLRA") and which may be based on or include assumptions concerning our future operations, future results and prospects. Such statements may be identified by the use of words like "plan," "expect," "aim," "believe," "project," "anticipate," "commit," "intend," "estimate," "will," "should," "could," "potential" and other expressions that indicate future events and trends.

All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, without limitation, statements about financing, the possible outcome of the Company's Chapter 11 proceedings, product launches, governmental and regulatory actions and proceedings, market position, revenues, expenditures and the impact of recalls and suspension of shipments on revenues, adjustments to the financial statements, the filing of amended filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other financial results, are forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risk and uncertainties. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the PSLRA, we provide the following cautionary statements identifying important economic, competitive, political, regulatory and technological factors, among others, that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth or implied by the forward-looking statements and related assumptions. Such factors include (but are not limited to) the following:

(1) the ability of the Company and the other Debtors to continue as a going concern;

(2) the ability of the Company to comply with the milestones in its debtor-in-possession financing facility, obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of a proposed plan of reorganization, as well as approval with respect to other motions in the Bankruptcy Cases;

(3) the ability of the Company and the other Debtors to prosecute, develop and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Bankruptcy Cases;

(4) the effects of the Bankruptcy Cases on the Company and the other Debtors and the interests of various creditors, equity holders and other constituents;

(5) the effects of rulings of the Bankruptcy Court in the Bankruptcy Cases and the outcome of the cases in general;

(6) the length of time the Company and the other Debtors will operate under the Bankruptcy Cases;

(7) risks associated with third-party motions in the Bankruptcy Cases, which may interfere with the ability of the Company and the other Debtors to develop one or more plans of reorganization and consummate such plans once they are developed;

(8) the potential adverse effects of the Bankruptcy Cases on the Company's liquidity or results of operations;

(9) the ability to execute the Company's business and restructuring plans;

(10) increased legal costs related to the Company's bankruptcy filing and other litigation;

(11) that its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be, or will continue to be, traded on the OTCQB Marketplace and whether sufficient volumes and liquidity will develop; and

(12) the ability of the Company and the other Debtors to maintain contracts that are critical to their operation, including to obtain and maintain normal terms with their vendors, customers and service providers and to retain key executives, managers and employees.

This discussion is not exhaustive, but is designed to highlight important factors that may impact our forward-looking statements.
