(1) 
The portion of total rental expense that represents interest factor is estimated to be 33%.
(2) 
Due primarily to T-Mobile USA, Inc.'s non-cash impairment charges in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1 in each of these periods. T-Mobile, Inc. would have needed to generate additional earnings of $7.0 billion and $4.9 billion in the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to achieve a coverage of 1:1 in each of these periods.
