RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table shows the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, the year ended December 31, 2004, the 27 days ended December 31, 2003, the period from January 1, 2003 to December 4, 2003, and the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. We have computed these ratios by dividing earnings available for fixed charges (income before income taxes and fixed charges) by fixed charges (interest cost, amortization of debt expense, and the portion of rental expenses deemed to be representative of the interest factor in those rentals).
