(1) 
For the period from December 17, 2013 through December 31, 2013, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $20 million, primarily due to approximately $16 million in costs associated with the LINN Energy transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2011, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $398 million, primarily due to pre-tax, noncash impairment charges of approximately $625 million associated with natural gas properties in east Texas related to a decline in natural gas prices.
For purposes of this table, “earnings” consists of earnings before income taxes plus interest expense and amortization of capitalized interest.  “Fixed charges” consists of interest expensed and capitalized.
