NOTE 4. DEBT

In October 2012, $350 in senior notes with an annual fixed interest rate of 5.45% became due and was paid. The repayment was funded with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of $600 in senior notes in September 2012 with an annual fixed interest rate of 3.05%. The notes were issued under the Company's existing shelf registration statement, with interest payable semi-annually in March and September and a maturity date of September 15, 2022. The remaining net proceeds were used to repay commercial paper. The notes rank equally with all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness.
