For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges.

Fixed charges consist of interest expense on all indebtedness, amortization of the discount (premium) on certain of the Partnership’s long-term borrowings, amortization of capitalized debt origination costs, and the estimated interest portion of operating leases (10% of rent expense represents a reasonable approximation of the interest factor).
