Interest rates are weighted average interest rates related to various international credit facilities with customary terms and conditions and the Global and North America Headquarters financing liability described below.


NOTES
$900 million 6.5% Senior Notes due 2021
On February 25, 2013, we issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% senior notes due 2021. These notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and will mature on March 1, 2021. These notes are unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed by our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under our U.S. senior secured credit facilities described below.
We have the option to redeem these notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2016 at a redemption price of 104.875%, 103.25%, 101.625% and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on March 1, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to March 1, 2016, we may redeem these notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, prior to March 1, 2016, we may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of these notes from the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.5% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The terms of the indenture for these notes, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to (i) incur additional debt or issue redeemable preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments or investments, (iii) incur liens, (iv) sell assets, (v) incur restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, (vi) enter into affiliate transactions, (vii) engage in sale and leaseback transactions, and (viii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. For example, if these notes are assigned an investment grade rating by Moody's and Standard & Poor's and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will be suspended. The indenture has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.
CREDIT FACILITIES
$2.0 billion Amended and Restated First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2017
Our amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility is available in the form of loans or letters of credit, with letter of credit availability limited to $800 million. Subject to the consent of the lenders whose commitments are to be increased, we may request that the facility be increased by up to $250 million. Our obligations under the facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Our obligations under the facility and our subsidiaries' obligations under the related guarantees are secured by first priority security interests in a variety of collateral. Amounts drawn under this facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points.
Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based primarily on eligible accounts receivable and inventory of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. To the extent that our eligible accounts receivable and inventory decline, our borrowing base will decrease and the availability under the facility may decrease below $2.0 billion. As of June 30, 2013, our borrowing base, and therefore our availability, under this facility was $459 million below the facility's stated amount of $2.0 billion.
The facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in our consolidated financial condition since December 31, 2011. The facility also has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no borrowings outstanding under the first lien revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued totaled $394 million at June 30, 2013 and $407 million at December 31, 2012.
$1.2 billion Amended and Restated Second Lien Term Loan Facility due 2019
Our obligations under our amended and restated second lien term loan facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by second priority security interests in the same collateral securing the $2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility. This facility may be increased by up to $300 million at our request, subject to the consent of the lenders making such additional term loans. The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 375 basis points, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate of 100 basis points.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this facility was fully drawn.

€400 million Amended and Restated Senior Secured European Revolving Credit Facility due 2016
Our amended and restated €400 million European revolving credit facility consists of (i) a €100 million German tranche that is available only to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH (the “German borrower”) and (ii) a €300 million all-borrower tranche that is available to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. (“GDTE"), the German borrower and certain of GDTE's other subsidiaries. Up to €50 million in letters of credit are available for issuance under the all-borrower tranche. Amounts drawn under this facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points for loans denominated in U.S. dollars or pounds sterling and EURIBOR plus 250 basis points for loans denominated in euros.
GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France and Germany provide guarantees to support the facility. The German guarantors secure the German tranche on a first-lien basis and the all-borrower tranche on a second-lien basis. GDTE and its other subsidiaries that provide guarantees secure the all-borrower tranche on a first-lien basis and do not provide collateral support for the German tranche. The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and primary Canadian subsidiary that guarantee our U.S. senior secured credit facilities described above also provide unsecured guarantees in support of the facility.
The facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in either our or GDTE's consolidated financial condition since December 31, 2010. The facility also has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued under the all-borrower tranche totaled $10 million (€7 million) at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
International Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities (On-Balance Sheet)
GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility that provides up to €450 million of funding and expires in 2015. Availability under this facility is based on eligible receivable balances. The facility is subject to the customary renewal of its back-up liquidity commitments, which expire on October 17, 2014.
The facility involves an ongoing daily sale of substantially all of the trade accounts receivable of certain GDTE subsidiaries to a bankruptcy-remote French company controlled by one of the liquidity banks in the facility. These subsidiaries retain servicing responsibilities. At June 30, 2013, the amounts available and utilized under this program totaled $345 million (€265 million). At December 31, 2012, the amounts available and utilized under this program totaled $348 million (€264 million) and $192 million (€145 million), respectively. The program does not qualify for sale accounting, and accordingly, these amounts are included in Long Term Debt and Capital Leases.
In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility discussed above, subsidiaries in Australia have an accounts receivable securitization program that provides up to $87 million (95 million Australian dollars) of funding. Availability under this program is based on eligible receivable balances. At June 30, 2013, the amounts available and utilized under this program were $57 million. At December 31, 2012, the amounts available and utilized under this program were $99 million and $40 million, respectively. The receivables sold under this program also serve as collateral for the related facility. We retain the risk of loss related to these receivables in the event of non-payment. These amounts are included in Long Term Debt and Capital Leases due Within One Year.
For a description of the collateral securing the credit facilities described above as well as the covenants applicable to them, refer to the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 14, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in our 2012 Form 10-K.
Accounts Receivable Factoring Facilities (Off-Balance Sheet)
Various subsidiaries sold certain of their trade receivables under off-balance sheet programs. For these programs, we have concluded that there is generally no risk of loss to us from non-payment of the sold receivables. At June 30, 2013, the gross amount of receivables sold was $282 million, compared to $243 million at December 31, 2012.
Other Foreign Credit Facilities
A Chinese subsidiary has several financing arrangements in China. At June 30, 2013, these non-revolving credit facilities were fully drawn and can only be used to finance the relocation and expansion of our manufacturing facility in China. Borrowings outstanding under these facilities were $531 million and $471 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The facilities mature in 2020 and principal amortization begins in 2015. The facilities contain covenants relating to the Chinese subsidiary and have customary representations and warranties and defaults relating to the Chinese subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under the facilities. At June 30, 2013, restricted cash of $32 million was related to funds obtained under these credit facilities. At December 31, 2012, there was no restricted cash related to funds obtained under these credit facilities.
OTHER DOMESTIC DEBT
Global and North America Headquarters
In 2011, we entered into agreements for the construction of a new Global and North America Headquarters facility in Akron, Ohio. We concurrently entered into an agreement to occupy the facility under a 27-year lease, including the two-year construction period, with multiple renewal options available at our discretion. Additionally, we entered into similar agreements for the construction and lease of a new parking deck adjacent to the Headquarters facility. Due to our continuing involvement with the financing during construction of the Headquarters facility and the parking deck, we recorded a non-cash increase to fixed assets and financing liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as costs were incurred during the construction period. Construction of the Headquarters facility and parking deck was substantially completed during the second quarter of 2013 and the first payments were made under the leases. The total financing liability of approximately $150 million, including capitalized interest, has been recorded in Long Term Debt and Capital Leases at June 30, 2013.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We utilize derivative financial instrument contracts and nonderivative instruments to manage interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks. We have established a control environment that includes policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Contracts
We will enter into foreign currency contracts in order to manage the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions resulting primarily from trade purchases and sales, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty agreements. Contracts hedging short term trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging designation.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, these outstanding foreign currency derivatives had notional amounts of $1,386 million and $1,289 million, respectively, and were primarily related to intercompany loans. Other (Income) Expense included net transaction losses of $13 million and gains of $7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to net transaction gains of $21 million and losses of $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, on foreign currency derivatives. These amounts were substantially offset in Other (Income) Expense by the effect of changing exchange rates on the underlying currency exposures.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, these outstanding foreign currency derivatives had notional amounts of $162 million and $138 million, respectively, and primarily related to intercompany transactions.

We enter into master netting agreements with counterparties. The amounts eligible for offset under the master netting agreements are not material and we have elected a gross presentation of foreign currency contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The estimated net amount of the deferred gains on June 30, 2013 that is expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months is $3 million.
The counterparties to our foreign currency contracts were considered by us to be substantial and creditworthy financial institutions that are recognized market makers at the time we entered into those contracts. We seek to control our credit exposure to these counterparties by diversifying across multiple counterparties, by setting counterparty credit limits based on long term credit ratings and other indicators of counterparty credit risk such as credit default swap spreads, and by monitoring the financial strength of these counterparties on a regular basis. We also enter into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible. By controlling and monitoring exposure to counterparties in this manner, we believe that we effectively manage the risk of loss due to nonperformance by a counterparty. However, the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.
