Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Assumptions used in determining fair value of the Call Option
The inputs to the model at December 31, 2012 were as follows:
Stock price at December 31, 2012
$
61.69

Quarterly dividend yield (per share)1
$
0.24

Risk-free interest rate2
0.28
%
Credit spread (basis points)3
246

Expected volatility rate4
20.4
%
____________

1 
Quarterly dividends during 2012 were $0.25 per share, but the model assumes a discrete $0.24 per share quarterly dividend as was paid at the inception of the Call Options. Quarterly dividends in excess of $0.24 per share do not affect the Call Options' value due to anti-dilution adjustments.
2 
The risk-free rate was based on the two-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate and three-year Constant Maturity
Treasury rate on December 31, 2012, compounded semi-annually.
3 
The credit spread is based on the Company's long-term credit rating of BB- issued by Standard & Poor’s and a senior
unsecured credit rating of Ba3 issued by Moody’s.
4 
The volatility rate was based on both observed volatility, which is based on the Company’s historical stock price, and
implied volatility from the Company’s traded options. Such volatility was further adjusted to take into consideration
market participant risk tolerance.
