Additional Information:
General

At December 31, 2005, the Company had outstanding indebtedness totaling $355.885 billion, consisting of notes payable within one year, senior notes payable after one year and subordinated notes payable after one year. The total amount of outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2005, excluding subordinated notes payable after one year, was equal to $353.200 billion.

Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The information contained in the Prospectus under the caption “Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges” is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:

 
Year Ended December 31, 
 
  2001    2002  2003    2004 
2005 
 
 
  1.56    1.62  1.71    1.82 
1.66 
 

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.
