        income tax benefit of $5.5 million. Loss per share on a non-GAAP basic
        and diluted basis was $(0.05), compared to income per share on a
        non-GAAP basic and diluted basis of $0.11 in the second quarter of 2015.
        A description of the non-GAAP calculations and reconciliation to
        comparable GAAP measures is provided in the accompanying tables entitled

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures presented in the Company's press release and related conference call or webcast in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we also present the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP income (loss) per share ("EPS").

A "non-GAAP financial measure" refers to a numerical measure of the Company's historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's financial statements. The Company provides certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to its operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of the Company's liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare the Company's performance to that of other companies.

The Company has presented Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus: interest expense, net; income tax provision (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; compensation expense related to acquisition earnout and retention bonus arrangements; write-offs of unamortized deferred financing and other debt extinguishment costs; executive transition and reduction in force charges; contract settlement charges; and asset impairment and other charges. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss), plus non-cash stock-based compensation expense, compensation expense related to acquisition earnout and retention bonus arrangements, income tax provision (benefit), and other unusual or significant adjustments such as the write-off of deferred financing costs and other debt extinguishment costs, executive transition and reduction in force charges, contract settlement charges, and asset impairment and other charges. We define non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP net income (loss), divided by weighted-average shares outstanding.

The Company believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of the Company's core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company's operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the Company's business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results, and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company's operating performance.
