RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

        The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents the number of times fixed charges are covered by earnings. For purposes of computing this ratio, earnings consist of earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes or equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated entities, plus fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest), amortization of capitalized interest, and distributed income of equity investees. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, interest capitalized and one-third of rent expense on operating leases, estimated by the Company to be representative of the interest factor attributable to such rent expense.
