(a) 
Interest expense includes amortization of debt premium, discount and other debt costs. Interest expense does not include interest related to uncertain tax positions of $73 million for the first three months of 2015; $182 million for 2014; $222 million for 2013; $265 million for 2012; $338 million for 2011; and $389 million for 2010.
(b) 
Preferred stock dividends related to our Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock held by an employee stock ownership plan trust.
(c) 
Rents included in the computation consist of one-third of rental expense, which we believe to be a conservative estimate of an interest factor
in our leases, which are not material.
