(e)  "EBITDA" is defined as the sum of net income (loss) before
extraordinary charges, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA is presented because we believe it is frequently used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies.  EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under
generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of
liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating
performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
