Interest incurred and the portion of rent expense deemed to represent the interest factor of PMI have been excluded from fixed charges in the computation. Including these amounts in fixed charges, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been 11.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Interest incurred and the portion of rent expense deemed to represent the interest factor of PMI and Kraft have been excluded from fixed charges in the computation.
