The total amount of outstanding indebtedness at September 29, 2001 excluding subordinated notes payable after one year was equal to $204.345 billion.

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 the Company believes is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.

The Notes are being purchased by Lehman Brothers Inc. (the "Underwriter"), as principal, at the Issue Price of 100.00% of the aggregate principal amount less an underwriting discount equal to 0.00% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Underwriter has advised the Company that the Underwriter proposes to offer the Notes from time to time for sale in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at prices to be determined at the time of sale. In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the Underwriter and its affiliates have engaged and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and investment banking transactions with the Company and affiliates of the Company.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
