We compute the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period. We have excluded the following antidilutive stock options and SARs in our calculation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market prices for the applicable periods:

(a) for 2013, 0.4 million options and SARs;

(b) for 2012, 1.0 million options and SARs; and

(c) for 2011, 4.1 million options and SARs.
