For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, minority interest and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest and discount on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which the Company believes is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.
Plan of Distribution
:The Notes are being purchased by Merrill Lynch & Co. (the "Underwriter"), as principal, at 100%
of the aggregate principal amount less an underwriting discount equal to 1.23% of the principal
amount of the Notes. The Underwriter has advised the Issuer that the Underwriter propose to offer
the Notes from time to time for sale in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at prices determined at
the time of sale.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
