(1)

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before (i) interest income, (ii) interest expense, (iii) provision for income taxes, and (iv) depreciation and amortization. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do and EBITDA as presented in this offering memorandum may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included this non-GAAP financial measure because we believe that it provides potential purchasers of the notes with useful information in assessing the restricted group’s operating performance and as an indicator of the restricted group’s ability to meet our obligations under the notes. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of net income (loss) under GAAP to EBITDA is as follows:

 

(2)

Cash includes cash, cash equivalents, compensating balance and short-term investments.
