This release contains forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements relating to our plans to separate into two independent
companies. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number
of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
materially differ from those described in the forward-looking
statements, including the possibility that Tenneco may not complete
the separation of the Aftermarket & Ride Performance business

adverse impact on existing arrangements with Tenneco, including

Federal-Mogul or the separation, including synergies, may not be
fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the
risk that the acquisition of Federal-Mogul or the separation may
not advance Tenneco's business strategy; the risk that Tenneco may
experience difficulty integrating all employees or operations; the
potential diversion of Tenneco management's attention resulting
from the separation; as well as the risk factors and cautionary
statements included in Tenneco's periodic and current reports
(Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K) filed from time to time with the SEC.
Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of
