---------------

(a)  The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents the number of times
     "fixed charges" are covered by "earnings." "Fixed charges" consist of
     interest on outstanding debt and amortization of debt discount and expense,
     adjusted for capitalized interest and one-third (the proportion deemed
     representative of the interest factor) of operating lease expense.
     "Earnings" consist of income from continuing operations before income taxes
     and fixed charges, less share of affiliates' earnings, net of distributions
     received.

(b)  For the year ended December 31, 2001, fixed charges and preferred stock
     dividends exceeded earnings by $79.6 million.
