(a) 
Interest expense includes amortization of debt premium, discount and other debt costs. Interest expense does not include interest related to uncertain tax positions of $176 million for the first nine months of 2013; $268 million for 2012; $343 million for 2011; $389 million for 2010; $337 million for 2009; and $333 million for 2008.
(b) 
Preferred stock dividends related to our Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock held by an Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust.
(c) 
Rents included in the computation consist of one-third of rental expense, which we believe to be a conservative estimate of an interest factor in our leases, which are not material.
