(a) During 2010 and 2009, we committed to sell certain operations of our International Automotive Finance operations, Insurance operations, Mortgage operations, and Commercial Finance Group. We report these businesses separately as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our discontinued operations. All reported periods of the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges exclude discontinued operations.

(b) Amount for 2010 includes a $616 million reduction to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) related to a conversion of preferred stock and related amendment that occurred on December 30, 2010, as described in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Earnings available for fixed charges for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2007, were inadequate to cover total fixed charges.

(d) The ratio indicates a less than one-to-one coverage for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2007. Earnings available for fixed charges and preferred dividend requirements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2007, were inadequate to cover total fixed charges and preferred dividend requirements.
