Portfolio managers regularly review all of the Corporation's holdings to determine if any investments are other-than-temporarily impaired. The analysis includes reviewing the amount of the impairment, as well as the length of time it has been impaired. In addition, specific guidelines for each instrument type are followed to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no impairment indicators or circumstances that would result in a material adjustment of these investments.

The Corporation's investments in debt securities had contractual maturities of less than 10 years at December 31, 2012.
