| (1) | For purposes of computing this ratio, “earnings” consist of income before income taxes and income/(loss) from unconsolidated affiliates, plus fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest) and distributed income of equity investees. Current year amortization of previously capitalized interest is not included as these amounts are not material. |
| (2) | For purposes of computing this ratio, “fixed charges” include interest whether expensed or capitalized, amortization of debt expense, discount, or premium related to indebtedness (included in interest expense), and such portion of rental expense that we deem to be a reasonable representation of the interest factor. |
