For more information, see the discussion below under the heading ‘“— Long Term Incentive Plan.” Long Term Incentive Plan Our Adjusted EBITDA projections do not include the effect of any payments that may be made pursuant to our Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan. Under this new plan, which provides performance-based incentive compensation awards beginning in 2006 based on our performance against specific Adjusted EBITDA targets, we will accrue expenses ranging from $2.6 million in 2006 to $15.2 million in 2011 if our Adjusted EBITDA meets the projections set forth in this Memorandum. Each award is payable at the end of three years based on performance and subject to continued employment (with certain exceptions). The accrued expenses associated with an award in each period are non-cash, subject to cash settlement when and if the award for that period is earned at the end of the third year. The actual expenses could be higher or lower depending on whether actual Adjusted EBITDA performance exceeds or is less than the amounts projected herein. Working Capital KLC OpCo does not expect revenue or expenses to have a meaningful impact on working capital ratios in the future. 96 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024529
