(a) Earnings before adding fixed charges is determined by starting with pre-tax income (less undistributed equity in earnings of unconsolidated
affiliates) and subtracting capitalized interest.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(b) Fixed Charges consists of interest charges on our long-term and short-term borrowings (including a representative portion of lease expense,
primarily related to our capital lease obligations to We Power under the Power the Future leases), capitalized interest and amortization of
debt expenses.
