(b)   Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated income from continuing operations

Additional information regarding full year forecast:
  -   Income tax rate for 2011 is forecasted to be approximately 42% of pretax income.
 
  -   The distribution of the annual revenue is expected to be approximately 85% public portals advertising and sponsorship and 15% private portal licensing. Quarterly revenue distributions may vary from this annual estimate
 
  -   2011 guidance excludes any gains or losses related to investments / convertible notes.
Additional information regarding full year income per share calculation:
  -   Basic income per share: Reflects a reduction to income from continuing operations of $0.6 million to consider the effect of restricted stock.
 
  -   Diluted income per share:
  -   The low end of the guidance range reflects an increase to income from continuing operations of $6.1 million for the interest expense (net of tax) on the 2.5% Notes of $6.7 million, offset by $0.6 million to consider the effect of restricted stock. The low end of the guidance range for diluted share count includes the weighted impact of 6 million shares related to the 2.5% Notes.
 
  -   The high end of the guidance range reflects these same items plus an additional increase to income from continuing operations for the interest expense (net of tax) on the 2.25% Notes of $5.2 million. The high end of the guidance range for diluted share count also includes the additional weighted impact of 4 million shares related to the 2.25% Notes.
