Safe Harbor

Some of the information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance.

Without limiting the foregoing, all statements relating to our: future outlook; anticipated capital expenditures; future cash flows and borrowings; and sources of funding are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but they are open to a wide range of uncertainties and business risks and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these statements.

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: growth in energy markets; coal's market share of electricity generation; timing of reductions in customer coal inventories; the pace and extent of the economic recovery and future economic conditions; severity of weather; railroad and other transportation performance and costs; the ability to renew sales contracts upon expiration or renegotiation; the ability to successfully implement operating strategies; the effectiveness of our cost-cutting measures; regulatory and court decisions; future legislation; changes in postretirement benefit and pension obligations; credit, market and performance risk associated with our customers; modification or termination of our long-term coal supply agreements; risks inherent to mining, including geologic conditions or unforeseen equipment problems; terrorist attacks or threats affecting our or our customers' operations; replacement of recoverable reserves; implementation of new accounting standards; inflationary trends, interest rates and access to capital markets; and other risk factors.

When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements in our documents filed with the SEC or incorporated by reference.
