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.
