_________________  
(a)
For purposes of such computation, the term "fixed charges" represents interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, and a portion of rentals representative of an implicit interest factor for such rentals.
(b)
For 2015, 2014 and 2013 interest expense excludes $(8) million, $(17) million and $2 million of purchase accounting adjustments.
(c)
Although we have 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding, we did not pay any dividends on preferred stock in the periods presented. Therefore, the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are not different from the ratios of earnings to fixed charges.
