announced today that the trust has a potential exposure of between $3.5
and $7.5 million from oil, butane and condensate sales to SemCanada
Crude Company, a subsidiary of SemGroup, L.P. for the marketing of a
portion of NAL's oil production. On July 22, 2008, SemGroup L.P.
announced that the Company and certain of its North American

discussions with SemCanada and its Monitor to best manage and resolve
this matter. NAL is currently uncertain what portion of the exposure may
