These computations take into account our consolidated operations and the distributed income from our equity method investees.   For
purposes of these calculations, "earnings" is the amount resulting from adding and subtracting the following items.

Add the following, as applicable: consolidated pre-tax income before minority interest and income or loss from equity investees;
fixed charges; amortization of capitalized interest; distributed income of equity investees; and our share of pre-tax losses of
equity investees for which charges arising from guarantees are included in fixed charges.

From the total of the added items, subtract the following, as applicable: interest capitalized; preference security dividend
requirements of consolidated subsidiaries; and minority interest in pre-tax income of subsidiaries that have not incurred fixed
charges.

The term "fixed charges" means the sum of the following: interest expensed and capitalized; amortized premiums, discounts and
capitalized expenses related to indebtedness; an estimate of interest within rental expenses (equal to one-third of rental expense);
and preference security dividend requirements of consolidated subsidiaries.
