(3) EBITDA represents earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest
    expense, interest income, and gains on sales of cellular properties. EBITDA
    is not intended to be a performance measure and should not be regarded as an
    alternative to either operating income or net income as an indicator of
    operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
    Furthermore, EBITDA is not a GAAP-based financial measure, and it should not
    be considered as an alternative to GAAP-based measures of financial
    performance.

(3) EBITDA represents earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest
    expense, interest income, and gains on sales of cellular properties. EBITDA
    is not intended to be a performance measure and should not be regarded as an
    alternative to either operating income or net income as an indicator of
    operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
    Furthermore, EBITDA is not a GAAP-based financial measure, and it should not
    be considered as an alternative to GAAP-based measures of financial
    performance.
