Adjusted EBITDA
2007
(unaudited)

The following table presents adjustments reconciling income before taxes shown in the Company’s audited financial statements to Adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with the Company’s Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and has been included because it is a basis upon which our management assesses and will assess our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP. Our measure of adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.
