(1) EBITDA is calculated by the Company as net income before interest
 expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. The
 Company uses EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of
 operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. This
 non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of
 our financial results in accordance with GAAP.  Rather, we believe
 the EBITDA calculation provides additional information to investors
 and debt holders due to the fact that tax credits, tax rates and
 other tax related items vary by company. Additionally, years of
 service for fixed assets and amortizable assets are based on company
 judgment. Finally, companies have several ways of raising capital
 which can affect interest expense. We believe the presentation of
 EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of performance exclusive of
 these unique items.
