<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA was presented because it is a required component of financial ratios reported by the Company
to the Company&#146;s banks, and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP)&nbsp;results to compare to the performance of other companies who also publicize this
information. Financial analysts frequently ask for EBITDA when it has not been presented. EBITDA
is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company&#146;s operating performance or any other measure
of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
