The majority of the remaining restructuring reserves are expected to be paid over the next 12-24 months. 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 impairment
During 2017, we recorded asset impairment charges of $4 million. In 2016, asset impairment charges consisted primarily of a loss of $5 million from the sale of a facility and an impairment charge of $5 million related to another facility.
