Note 7. Debt:

Borrowing Arrangements:

On April 1, 2011, we entered into a revolving credit agreement for a $4.5 billion four-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The agreement replaced our former revolving credit agreement, which was terminated upon the signing of the new agreement. We intend to use the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes, and to support our commercial paper issuances. No amounts have been drawn on the facility.

The revolving credit facility agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum total shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) and non-controlling interest, of at least $28.6 billion. At June 30, 2011, our total shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive losses and non-controlling interest, was $41.0 billion. We expect to continue to meet this covenant. The revolving credit facility agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. However, there are no other financial covenants, credit rating triggers or provisions that could require us to post collateral as security.
