_______________
 
(1)
The Company had no preferred stock outstanding for any period presented, and accordingly, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.

(2)
Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $1,237.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 due primarily to a non-cash impairment charge.

(3)
Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $267.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 due primarily to a non-cash impairment charge.
