     (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.
