| The following table sets forth the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges on an historical basis for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004. For the purpose of calculating such ratios, “earnings” consist of pre-tax income from continuing operations beforeincome or loss from equity investees, adjusted to reflect distributed income from equity investments, and fixed charges, less capitalized interest. “Fixed charges” consist of interest costs, amortization of debt discount, premiums and issuance costs and an estimate of interest implicit in rentals. No adjustment has been made to earnings for the amortization of capital interest for the periods presented as such amount is immaterial. Interest on FIN 48 liabilities is excluded from thecomputation of fixed charges as it is recorded by the Company in income tax expense versus interest expense. |   |
