Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

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 we believe is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.
CAPITALIZED TERMS USED HEREIN WHICH ARE DEFINED IN THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED TO THEM IN THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT. THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET SITE OF THE FDIC IS NOT A PART OF THIS FREE WRITING PROSPECTUS OR ANY PROSPECTUS.
