   Non GAAP measures

   Non GAAP measures are provided as a complement to results provided
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP"). Non GAAP measures are not a
substitute for measures computed in accordance with GAAP. Definitions
of such non GAAP measurements are provided below. These definitions
are provided to allow the reader to reconcile non GAAP data to that
presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non GAAP measures may be
different from the presentation of financial information by other
companies.

   EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is an
important non GAAP measure as it provides useful cash flow information
regarding our ability to service, incur or pay down indebtedness and
for purposes of calculating certain debt covenants. In addition,
management uses such non GAAP measures internally to evaluate the
Company's performance and manage its operations. See below for
reconciliation of most comparable GAAP measurements to EBITDA.

   Free cash flow: we believe free cash flow is an important non GAAP
measure as it provides useful cash flow information regarding our
ability to service, incur or pay down indebtedness and repurchase our
common stock. We use free cash flow as a measure to reflect cash
available to service our debt as well as to fund our discretionary and
non-discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow may be reconciled from
net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly
comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

   Adjusted earnings per share: we believe adjusted earnings per
share is an important non GAAP measure as it provides useful
information about our results from operations excluding non-cash
charges. We believe this measure provides an important comparison to
prior period earnings and is more representative of our operating
results.
