    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net
    income before depreciation and amortization expenses, net interest
    income or expense, provision for income taxes, non-cash stock-
    based compensation expense and other items.  We believe that
    Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it
    is an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing
    operations.  However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under
    financial performance under GAAP, and our calculation of Adjusted
    EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled
    measures of other companies.

    Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders is a non-GAAP
    financial measure that represents net income available to common
    stockholders before other items, net of tax.  Adjusted Diluted EPS
    is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents fully diluted
    earnings per share before other items, net of tax.  We believe that
    Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Adjusted
    Diluted EPS provide useful information to investors because they
    allow investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on
    a more comparable basis by excluding items that are not related to
    the ongoing operations of our business.  However, Adjusted Net
    Income Available to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS are
    not recognized terms under financial performance under GAAP, and our
    calculation of Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders
    and Adjusted Diluted EPS may not be comparable to the calculation of
    similarly titled measures of other companies.
