(a)  We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of performance as it is commonly utilized by management and investors to analyze operating performance and entity valuation.  Our management, the investment community and the banking institutions routinely use EBITDA, together with other measures, to measure our operating performance relative to other Tier 1 automotive suppliers.  EBITDA should not be construed as income from operations, net income or cash flow from operating activities as determined under GAAP.  Other companies may calculate  EBITDA differently.

(b)  Net debt is equal to total debt less cash and cash equivalents.  

(c)  Net debt to capital is equal to net debt divided by the sum of stockholders' deficit and net debt.  We believe that net debt to capital is a meaningful measure of financial condition as it is commonly utilized by management, investors and creditors to assess relative capital structure risk.  Other companies may calculate net debt to capital differently.

(d)  We define net operating cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment net of proceeds from sales of assets.  Free cash flow is defined as net operating cash flow less dividends paid.  We believe net operating cash flow and free cash flow are meaningful measures as they are commonly utilized by management and investors to assess our ability to generate cash flow from business operations to repay debt and return capital to our stockholders.  Net operating cash flow is also a key metric used in our calculation of incentive compensation.  Other companies may calculate net operating cash flow and free cash flow differently.
