On September 9, 2011, we issued $2.0 billion of long-term notes in a registered public offering consisting of $500 million due in 2016 with a fixed coupon interest rate of 2.13%, $900 million due in 2021 with a fixed coupon interest rate of 3.35%, and $600 million due in 2041 with a fixed coupon interest rate of 4.85%. We may, at our option, redeem some or all of the notes at any time by paying a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Interest on the notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2012. In October 2011, we used a portion of the proceeds to redeem all of our $500 million long-term notes due in 2013. In 2011, we repurchased $84 million of our long-term notes through open-market purchases. We paid premiums of $48 million in connection with the early extinguishments of debt, which were recognized in other non-operating income, net.

In May 2010, we issued $728 million of new 5.72% Notes due 2040 (the New Notes) in exchange for $611 million of our then outstanding debt securities (the Old Notes). We paid a premium of $158 million in the exchange, of which $117 million was in the form of the New Notes and $41 million was paid in cash, which was recorded as a discount and will be amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the New Notes, using the effective interest method.

In August 2011, we entered into a new $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with a group of banks and terminated our existing $1.5 billion revolving credit facility which was to expire in June 2012. The new credit facility expires August 2016, and we may request and the banks may grant, at their discretion, an increase to the new credit facility by an additional amount up to $500 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under either facility through December 31, 2011. Borrowings under the new credit facility would be unsecured and bear interest at rates based, at our option, on a Eurodollar rate or a Base Rate, as defined in the new credit facility. Each bank's obligation to make loans under the new credit facility is subject to, among other things, our compliance with various representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants limiting our ability and certain of our subsidiaries' ability to encumber assets and a covenant not to exceed a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the new credit facility. As of December 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the new credit facility, as well as in our debt agreements.

We have agreements in place with banking institutions to provide for the issuance of commercial paper. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding during 2011 or 2010. If we were to issue commercial paper, the borrowings would be supported by the new credit facility.

During the five-year period from 2012 through 2016, we have $153 million and $954 million in scheduled long-term debt maturities, which are due in 2013 and 2016. Interest payments were $326 million in 2011, $337 million in 2010, and $286 million in 2009.
