Long-term restricted cash as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 includes $6 million and $7 million, respectively, of security posted related to Brazilian legal contingencies.  Long-term restricted cash as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 also included $6 million and $25 million, respectively, supporting compliance with the Excess Availability threshold under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”).  During the second quarter of 2017, the amount of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Agreement was reduced by $20 million, which had a corresponding reduction in the amount of long-term restricted cash necessary to support compliance with the Excess Availability threshold.  See Note 8, “Debt and Capital Leases” and Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies”.
