Interest Rate Swaps
As of March 31, 2013, the Company was party to fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges. The interest rate swaps relate to an aggregate $750.0 million principal amount of the medium-term notes and result in the Company effectively paying a floating rate of interest on the medium-term notes hedged by the interest rate swaps.

The medium-term note balances at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 include mark-to-market adjustments of $25.1 million and $31.7 million, respectively, to record the fair value of the hedges of the fixed-rate debt, and the mark-to-market adjustment had the effect of increasing the reported value of the medium-term notes. Compared to the stated rates of the underlying medium-term notes, interest rate swaps, including amortization of settled interest rate swaps, had the effect of reducing interest expense by $3.5 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Receivables-Related Borrowings
In September 2012, the Company renewed its 364-day receivables facility that provides for borrowings of up to $200.0 million such that it will expire in September 2013 (the “Receivables Facility”). Under the Receivables Facility, the Company and certain operating subsidiaries (collectively, “the Originators”) sell their receivables to a financing subsidiary as the receivables are originated. The financing subsidiary is wholly owned by the Company and is the owner of the purchased receivables and the borrower under the Receivables Facility. The assets of the financing subsidiary are restricted as collateral for the payment of debt or other obligations arising under the Receivables Facility, and the financing subsidiary’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the Company’s or any other Originator’s creditors. The Company includes the financing subsidiary’s assets, liabilities and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. The Receivables Facility requires, among other things, that the Company maintain certain interest coverage and total indebtedness to total capital ratios, and the Company was in compliance with such requirements as of March 31, 2013. The financing subsidiary owned $612.2 million of outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2013, and these amounts are included in accounts receivable, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2013. The Company had outstanding borrowings of $200.0 million under the Receivables Facility as of March 31, 2013, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.9%.
Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper
On December 2, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks. The Credit Agreement, which was extended for an additional year in December 2012, provides for an unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 1, 2017, and an aggregate commitment at any time outstanding of up to $800.0 million (the "Facility"). The Facility also provides for the issuance of up to $100.0 million of letters of credit, so long as there is a sufficient amount available for borrowing under the Facility. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2013, there were no borrowings or standby letters of credit issued or outstanding under the Facility, and the Company was in compliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
In addition to the committed portion of the Facility, the Credit Agreement provides for extensions of competitive bid loans from one or more lenders (at the lenders’ discretion) of up to $500.0 million, which are not a utilization of the amount available for borrowing under the Facility.
In lieu of borrowings under the Facility, the Company may issue up to $800.0 million of commercial paper. The Facility provides the committed backup liquidity required to issue commercial paper. Accordingly, commercial paper may be issued only up to the amount available for borrowing under the Facility. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding commercial paper obligations of $202.0 million, while no commercial paper was outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
