or
consequences
of
various
transactions,
and
statements
about
the
future
performance,

These
forward-looking
statements
are
subject
to
various
assumptions,
risks,
uncertainties
and
other
factors
including,
but
not
limited
to:
a
continuation
or
worsening
of
the
current
disruption
in
credit
and
other
markets; 
the
ineffectiveness
of
Tower’s
business
strategy
due
to
changes
in
current
or
future
market
conditions;
the
effects
of
