 In this Proxy Statement we have presented financial measures that were used in determining the performance cash incentive compensation of executive officers which have not been determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and are therefore non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the measure of adjusted EBITDA used for cash incentive awards is well aligned with how investors assess our operating performance and therefore represents an appropriate basis in implementing our pay-for-performance approach.  Below is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure used in the calculation of cash incentive compensation to the measures we have reported in accordance with GAAP.  Because our calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, inventors should be careful when comparing our non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies. |     | Year Ended
