| (1) | For purposes of computing these ratios, “earnings” represent income before income taxes plus fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense and one-third (the portion deemed representative of the interest factor) of rental expense on operating leases. Fixed charges do not include interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits, which we classify as income tax expense. | |
| (2) | The ratios calculated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the three months ended September 30, 2008 are less than 1.00. In order to achieve a ratio of 1.00, earnings before income taxes and fixed charges would need to increase by $79 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, $36 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $448 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. |
