As of September 30, 2016, the Company was contingently liable for guarantees of indebtedness owed by third parties, including certain variable interest entities, in the amount of $550 million. Fixed charges for these contingent liabilities have not been included in the computation of the above ratios, as the amounts are immaterial and, in the opinion of management, it is not probable that the Company will be required to satisfy the guarantees. The interest amount in the above table does not include interest expense associated with unrecognized tax benefits.
