Note A--EBITDA, as defined, reflects earnings before interest, income taxes, and excludes depreciation, amortization, certain non-cash
charges and corporate-level expenses as defined in the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement. EBITDA is not a measure of performance
under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash
flows from operating, investing and financing activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP
or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. The Company presents EBITDA because management believes that EBITDA
is useful to investors as an indication of the Company's satisfaction of its Debt Service Ratio covenant in its Revolving Credit Agreement
and because EBITDA is a measure used under the Company's revolving credit facility to determine whether the Company may incur additional debt
under such facility. EBITDA as defined herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA, as defined:

extends the maturity date of the borrowings under the revolving credit facility to April 7, 2016 and amends fee and pricing terms. Furthermore the Company
has the option to increase the availability under the revolving credit facility by $50.0 million. The Company also purchased all of its outstanding 8.375%
senior subordinated notes due 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of $183.8 million that were not held by its affiliates, repaid all of the term loan A

Subordinated Notes totaling $7.3 million ($.62 per share on a diluted basis) and recorded a provision for foreign income taxes of $2.1 million
