(a)  Due to the losses for the year ended December 31, 2001, for the period from
     December 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30,
     2005, the ratio coverage was less than 1x. We would have had to generate
     additional earnings of $8 million, $6 million and $25 million to have
     achieved a coverage ratio of 1x for the year ended December 31, 2001, the
     period from December 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and for the six months
     ended June 31, 2005, respectively.
