        We attribute the unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, to the variability in related market interest rates. We do not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell them prior to the end of their contractual terms as we stagger our maturities to provide a reasonable level of liquidity and do not invest in securities with maturities in excess of three years. Furthermore, we believe these securities do not expose us to undue market risk or counterparty credit risk. As such, we do not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired.
