Such statements concerning future performance are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause Devon’s or Crosstex’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein, including as a result of the items described under "Risk Factors" in Devon’s or Crosstex’s most recent Form 10-K. These include, but are not limited to, Devon’s and Crosstex’s ability to integrate their businesses successfully. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Devon and Crosstex undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Cautionary Note to Investors Investors are urged to consider closely disclosures in Devon’s and Crosstex’s Form 10-K, available from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Investors and stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents filed or to be filed with the SEC. These documents (when they become available), and any other documents filed by Crosstex or Devon with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website, at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation contains non-generally accepted accounting principle financial measures that Devon and Crosstex refer to as adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on non-cash derivatives, distribution from a limited liability company and non-controlling interest; less gain on sale of property and equity in income (loss) of limited liability company. Devon and Crosstex believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it may provide users of this financial information with a meaningful comparison between current results and prior-reported results. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of Devon’s, Crosstex’s or the New Company’s performance. Furthermore, it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for a metric prepared in accordance with GAAP.
