(a) Interest expense includes amortization of debt expense and any discount or premium relating to indebtedness.
(b) Represents approximately one third of rent expense for each period presented.
(c) The ratio coverage during the period from February 8 to December 29, 2013 (“2013 Successor Period”) and during the period from April 29 to June 7, 2013 (“2013 Predecessor Period”) was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings of $299 million during the 2013 Successor Period and $130 million during the 2013 Predecessor Period to achieve ratio coverage of 1:1.
