(a)
The interest portion of rental expense represents one-third of rents, which is deemed representative of the interest portion of rental expense.
(b)
For the year ended December 31, 2009, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $421 million. The deficiency included the effect of a $222 million pre-tax impairment loss resulting from the permanent cancellation of certain capital projects classified as “construction in progress” as a result of the unfavorable impact of the economic slowdown on refining industry fundamentals during the year. The deficiency was also partially attributable to a $120 million loss contingency accrual related to our dispute of a turnover tax on export sales in Aruba.
