(a)           Amounts disclosed for prior periods have been adjusted to include the retrospective impact of new accounting literature adopted on January 1, 2009 related to accounting for and disclosure of convertible debt, noncontrolling interests and participating securities.

(b)          For purposes of calculating the consolidated ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, earnings consist of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed charges less noncontrolling interests’ in income of subsidiaries which have not incurred fixed charges.  Fixed charges consist of interest incurred (including amortization of deferred financing costs and capitalized interest) and preferred stock dividends.

(c)           Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes the effect of non-cash impairment charges aggregating $13,251,000 for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of certain investments.  Excluding the impact of the non-cash impairment charges, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2008 was 1.13.

(d)          Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2007 includes the effect of the preferred stock redemption charge. Excluding the impact of this charge, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 1.09.
