(1) Years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 have been restated to reflect the retrospective application of FSP APB 14-1. Earlier periods have not been restated and therefore are not comparable.
                                                                   
(2) Earnings for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009 were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $853 million, $1.2 billion, $1.3 billion, $2.6 billion, and $273 million, respectively. As a result of such deficiencies, the ratios are not presented above.
