by earnings (in thousands of dollars)


For purposes of calculating the above ratios, earnings are defined as income
before income taxes and extraordinary items, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges
consists of interest expense on all indebtedness, amortization of deferred
financing costs, and one-third of rental expense on operating leases
representing that portion of rental expense deemed by the Company to be
attributable to interest. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges equals earnings
divided by fixed charges.
