       In the first quarter of 2013, the Company repaid $600 million of its 4.25% notes. The repayment was funded with the issuance of commercial paper.

 

As a source of liquidity, we sell interests in designated pools of trade accounts receivables to third parties. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 none of the receivables in the designated pools had been sold to third parties. When we sell receivables, they are over-collateralized and we retain a subordinated interest in the pool of receivables representing that over-collateralization as well as an undivided interest in the balance of the receivables pools. The terms of the trade accounts receivable program permit the repurchase of receivables from the third parties at our discretion, providing us with an additional source of revolving credit. As a result, program receivables remain on the Company's balance sheet with a corresponding amount recorded as Short-term borrowings.
