(2) Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 excludes $67.0 million of interest expense related to the redemption of ESI’s $1,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior notes due 2014.

Note: Interest component of rental expense estimated to be 1/3 of rental expense, which management believes represents a reasonable approximation of the interest factor.
