(4) Adjusted EBITDA as calculated in the chart above represents net income before income taxes (benefit), interest expense, other  expense, (gain) loss from discontinued operations,  depreciation, amortization and asset impairment loss, gain on sale of assets and other, accrued and unpaid compensation expense relating to any stock option plans, changes in deferred lease expense, and stock option compensation and change of control expenses related to the Recapitalization.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the definition of EBITDA in our senior subordinated notes indentures. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt.  In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.
