For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, minority interest and fixed charges.

The Notes are being purchased by Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the "Underwriter"), as principal, at 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount less an underwriting discount equal to 0.000% of the principal amount of the Notes.

 

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
