RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table sets forth the Issuer's unaudited consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges for
each of the periods indicated. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing earnings by
fixed charges on a historical basis, in each case for the period indicated. For this purpose, fixed charges
consist of interest expense (including amortization of capitalized expenses related to indebtedness),
capitalized interest and an estimate of the interest within rental expense. Earnings consist of income
before income tax and share of results of equity investees, fixed charges less capitalized interest and
distributed income of equity investees, minus capitalized interest.
