We have not provided U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 because we intend to permanently reinvest such earnings outside the
U.S. If these foreign earnings were to be repatriated in the future, the related U.S. tax liability may be reduced by
any foreign income taxes previously paid on these earnings. As of December 31, 2011, the cumulative amount of
earnings upon which U.S. income taxes have not been provided is approximately $24.8 billion. Determination of
the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.
Deferred Tax Assets
