(1)
The portion of total rental expense that represents interest factor is estimated to be 33%.
(2)
Due primarily to T-Mobile USA, Inc.'s non-cash impairment charges in the year ended December 31, 2012, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1 in this period. T-Mobile, Inc. would have needed to generate additional earnings of $7.0 billion in the year ended December 31, 2012, to achieve a coverage of 1:1 in this period.
