The pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges is 11.75 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 13.31 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and (i) gives effect to the offering of the notes and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, together with other cash on hand, to retire at maturity our $750.0 million 5.75% notes due 2014 assuming those transactions had occurred on (and the scheduled maturity of the 5.75% notes due 2014 notes had been) January 1, 2012 and (ii) reflects our having entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement in August 2012 that we estimate will result in the interest payable on the notes effectively becoming fixed at an annual rate of 4.73% upon issuance. The pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges does not necessarily represent what the actual ratio of earning to fixed charges would have been had those transactions occurred on the date assumed and is not necessarily indicative of our future ratio of earnings to fixed charges.
