(1) For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 , 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 fixed charges exceeded earnings by $12.7 million, $6.8 million, $5.8 million, $7.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

(2) As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 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.
