Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are involved in legal proceedings, and subject to investigations, inspections, audits, inquiries and similar actions by governmental authorities, arising in the normal course of our business. While any litigation or such governmental proceeding contains an element of uncertainty, we do not believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 

Guarantees

As discussed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have guaranteed certain obligations of our subsidiaries relating principally to operating leases and credit facilities of certain subsidiaries. The amount of parent company guarantees on lease obligations was $399.0 and $376.8 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and the amount of parent company guarantees primarily relating to credit facilities was $323.0 and $395.0 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
