The majority of the remaining restructuring reserves are expected to be paid over the next 12 to 24 months; however, due to certain international labor laws and long-term lease agreements, some payments will extend beyond 24 months. We expect to fund these payments from cash flows from operations.

Asset Impairments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded asset impairment charges of $4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, asset impairment charges totaled $9 million and consisted primarily of a loss of $5 million on the sale of a facility and an impairment charge of $3 million relating to a building.
