Exhibit 12
Computation of Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of the periods shown on a consolidated basis. For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges. The term “fixed charges” means the sum of the following: (i) interest expensed and capitalized, (ii) amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and (iii) an estimate of the interest within rental expense (iv) loss on early extinguishment of debt representing write-off of unamortized debt issue cost, original issue discount and call premium fees.
