|a) | For the purpose of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, fixed charges consist of interest on debt (including capitalized interest), amortization of debt discount and
expense, and a portion of rentals determined to be representative of interest. Earnings consist of consolidated net income before income taxes, plus fixed charges other than capitalized interest but including the amortization thereof, adjusted by
the excess or deficiency of dividends over income of entities accounted for by the equity method.
