(2)          The pro forma ratios of earnings to fixed charges reflect the assumed issuance of the Notes offered hereby on the first day of the applicable period and the use of a portion of the proceeds therefrom to repay the outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility, as described in the section ‘‘Use of Proceeds’’ in the Prospectus Supplement.  Therefore, the pro forma ratio reflects the effects of additional interest expense that would have been incurred on the Notes and lower interest expense resulting from the assumed repayment of borrowings under our credit facility, if applicable. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have approximately $330 million in outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.
