(a)  Due to our losses in fiscal 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 the coverage ratio was less than 1:1.  The Operating Partnership must generate additional earnings of $19.8 million, $26.8 million, $25.9 million, $19.4 million, $10.0 million, and $11.7 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 in fiscal 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, repectively.
