Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains, and answers given to questions that may be asked today may constitute, forward-looking
statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control. All
statements regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues or losses, projected costs,
prospects, plans and objectives, other than statements of historical fact included in our prospectus, are forward-looking

“could,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain
these identifying words. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. While we believe that we
have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement that we make, we caution you that these statements are
based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and projections of future events or conditions, about
which we cannot be certain. For a more complete discussion regarding these and other factors which could affect the

information is generally based on publications that are not produced for purposes of securities offerings or economic
analysis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The information provided in the presentation used a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of that measure to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure.
EBITDA: Earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is not a measure of financial performance
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). It should not be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components
in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Management routinely calculates and communicates EBITDA and
believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within our industry to evaluate
performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. EBITDA is
also used in certain covenants contained in our credit agreement.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands):
