(A)       The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is defined as earnings divided by fixed charges.  For purposes of this ratio, earnings is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations plus fixed charges.  “Fixed charges” means the sum of interest expense and an estimate of the interest portion of rental expense under operating leases.  Interest expense on uncertain tax positions is included in the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges.

 

(B)       For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and therefore our coverage deficiency was $179.6 million, $67.4 million, $13.1 million and $30.8 million, respectively.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and therefore our coverage deficiency was $15.2 million.
