(1)  
Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the periods from June 30 through December 31, 2007 and from January 1 through June 29, 2007 by $39.6 million, $450.1 million, $91.7 million and $33.9 million, respectively.
For purpose of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, (1) earnings is defined as (loss) income before income taxes and equity method earnings or losses plus fixed charges and distributed earnings of investees, and (2) fixed charges is defined as interest expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs) and one-third of rental expense (which we believe is representative of the interest component of operating lease rent expense).
