(a) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, pretax income from continuing operations has
   
been added to fixed charges and adjusted for capitalized interest to derive adjusted income. Fixed charges consist
   
of interest expense on debt (including the amortization of deferred financing costs), prepayment penalties on the
   
early extinguishment of debt and one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest component) of
   
rental expense. Fixed charge amounts include interest from both continuing and discontinued operations.
