| (1) | For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings represent income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense plus fixed charges. Fixed charges represent interest expensed and capitalized plus one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest factor) of rents, net of income from subleases. | |
| (2) | Due to pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $554 million and $34 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate $554 million and $34 million of additional earnings in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, for the ratio coverage to equal 1:1. | |
