(1) For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 , 2009 and 2010 fixed charges exceeded earnings by $13.1million, $7.2 million, $7.6 million, $2.3 million and $15.3 million, respectively.

(2) As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the Trust accrued $3.0 million according to the authoritative guidance related to the guarantee of a construction loan for the Johns Hopkins participating development. The Trust has not included the liability in the calculation of fixed charges because it is not considered probable that such obligation will be incurred by the Trust.
