        All of the notes and debentures above are senior indebtedness and, other than the 6.625% notes due 2018 and the 7.75% notes due 2029, are redeemable at the Company's option.

        On August 15, 2013, the Company repurchased and retired all of its $200 million, 7.125% Notes on the scheduled retirement date.

        On March 5, 2012, the Company issued $400 million of 5.95% Notes ("the Notes") due March 15, 2022. Including the interest rate swap amortization, the effective interest rate for the Notes is approximately 6.5%, see Note F. The Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at the Company's option.

        In January 2012, the Company repurchased $46 million of 5.875% Notes due July 15, 2012 in open-market transactions; the Company paid a premium of $1 million for the repurchase. In July 2012, the Company retired all of its $745 million of 5.875% Notes on the scheduled retirement date.

        On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a bank group, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion and a maturity date of March 28, 2018. Upon entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company's credit agreement dated as of June 21, 2010, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion, was terminated.

        The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to the Company and one of its foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros and certain other currencies. Borrowings under the revolver denominated in euros are limited to $500 million, equivalent. The Company can also borrow swingline loans up to $150 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $250 million; any outstanding Letters of Credit, under the Credit Agreement, reduce the Company's borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $92 million of outstanding and unused Letters of Credit, reducing the Company's borrowing capacity by such amount.

        Revolving credit loans bear interest under the Credit Agreement, at the Company's option, at (A) a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0% (the "Alternative Base Rate"); plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable corporate credit ratings of the Company; or (B) LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable corporate credit ratings of the Company. The foreign currency revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable corporate credit ratings of the Company.

        The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain (A) a maximum debt to total capitalization ratio, as adjusted for certain items, of 65 percent, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0. The debt to total capitalization ratio allows the add-back, if incurred, of up to the first $250 million of certain non-cash charges, including goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, occurring from and after January 1, 2012 that would negatively impact shareholders' equity.

        Based on the limitations of the debt to total capitalization ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement, at December 31, 2013, the Company had additional borrowing capacity, subject to availability, of up to $1.2 billion. Additionally, at December 31, 2013, the Company could absorb a reduction to shareholders' equity of approximately $770 million and remain in compliance with the debt to total capitalization covenant.

        In order for the Company to borrow under the Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in the Company's covenants in the new Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of properties and insurance) and the Company's representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2012, in each case, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance and no material tax deficiency). At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings have been made under the Credit Agreement.

        At December 31, 2013, the debt maturities during each of the next five years were as follows: 2014 – $6 million; 2015 – $501 million; 2016 – $1,001 million; 2017 – $301 million; and 2018 – $115 million.

        Interest paid was $232 million, $269 million and $254 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
