This communication  is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to 
purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy any securities
or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction pursuant to the proposed 
transactions or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of
securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of 
securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the
requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Use
of
Non-GAAP
Financial
Measures.
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
calculated
as
income
(loss)
from
continuing
operations
before
interest
expense,
foreign
exchange
gains
(losses),
financing
and
related
expenses,
debt
discount
and
debt
settlement
expense,
gain
or
loss
on
extinguishment
of
debt,

and
integration
costs,
income
taxes,
asset
impairment
charges,
depreciation
and
amortization,
stock-based
compensation
expense,
change
in
fair
valueof
derivatives,
and
accruals
for
discretionary
bonuses.
Since
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
a
non-GAAP
measure
that
does
not
have
a
standardized
meaning,
it
may
not
be
comparable
to
similar
measures
presented
by
other
companies.
Readers
are
cautioned
that
Adjusted
EBITDA
should
not
be
construed
as
an
alternative
to
net
income
(loss)
determinedin
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
as
an
indicator
of
performance,
which
is
the
most
comparable
measure
under
GAAP.
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
used
by
management
as
an
internal
measure
of
profitability.
We
have
included
Adjusted
EBITDA
because
we
believe
that
this
measure
is
used
by
certain
investors
to
assess
our
financial
performance
before
non-cash
charges
and
certain
costs
that
we
do
not
believe
are
reflective
of
our
underlying
business.
A
reconciliation
of
Adjusted
EBITDA
to
U.S.
GAAP
net
income
is
included
in
our
earnings
release;
however
such
reconciliation
to
future
net
income
is
not
currently
available
without
unreasonable
effort.
The
information
that
is
unavailable
is
primarily
asset
impairment
and
expenses
related
to
stock-based
compensation;
it
is
probable
that
when
such
amounts
are
available
they
will
result
in
a
significant
GAAP
net
loss
for
our
second
fiscal
quarter
notwithstanding
our
expected
Adjusted
EBITDA
results.
