    Forward Looking Statements

    Any statements contained in this release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. The estimated total value of the contract assumes that the New York City Transit Authority, and its affiliated agencies, will continue the contract for the full initial five year term and exercise an option for an additional two years, which is entirely within their discretion, and will not exercise their contractual right to end the agreement at any time. In addition, the contract provides, under certain circumstances, for gain-sharing reductions in prices if certain efficiencies are achieved. The estimated total value is also based on assumptions about future volumes of products and services that will be ordered. Because the pricing and volumes may change, and the agreement may not continue for the full contract term, including extension years, the estimated value is not guaranteed. Additional discussion of factors that could affect Unisys future results is contained in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
