assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results,
level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
information, including but not limited to: the possibility that the
Arrangement will not be completed on the terms and conditions or
timing currently contemplated, or at all, due to a failure to
obtain, in a timely manner or otherwise, required court and
regulatory approvals, the failure to satisfy other conditions of
closing or other circumstances contemplated by the Arrangement; the
possibility of adverse reactions or changes in business
relationships resulting from the announcement, completion or
termination of the Arrangement which could have a material impact
on Copperleaf's business and financial condition during the period
