Total earnings were insufficient to cover the fixed charges by $44.7 million, $58.2 million and $118.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accordingly, such ratios are not presented.

Fixed charges are equal to interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs and costs associated with the Company’s asset securitization program), plus the portion of rent expense estimated to represent interest. Costs associated with the Company’s asset securitization program were $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, and $3.4 million, $5.8 million, $7.0 million, $5.6 million and $3.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
