For the purpose of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges as
prescribed by the rules and regulations of the Commission, earnings represents
income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, plus, when
applicable, (a) taxes on such income, (b) fixed charges, and (c) the Company's
equity interest in losses of certain 50%-or-less-owned-affiliates; less (x)
undistributed earnings of 50%-or-less-owned-affiliates, and (y) interest
capitalized. Fixed charges represent interest (including amounts capitalized),
amortization of deferred financing costs, the portion of rental expense deemed
representative of interest and, when applicable, the Company's share of the
interest expense of certain 50%-or-less-owned-affiliates.
