"Adjusted earnings" consist of earnings excluding depreciation and amortization, straight-line rental adjustments, intangible amortization in rental income, net, amortization of non-cash compensation expense, loss on impairments and gain (loss) on interest rate swaps. Earnings, fixed charges and preferred dividends are calculated in the same manner as they are for the ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends as described above. We believe that the ratios of adjusted earnings to fixed charges and combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are useful supplemental information regarding our ability to cover our fixed charges and preferred stock dividends.
