Postretirement
Pension Plans Medical Plans
2012 2011 2012 2011
Weighted-average discount rate 4.05% 5.00% 4.05% 5.00%
Rate of increase in compensation levels 3.00% 3.00% N/A N/A
The following table summarizes the weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit costs
for U.S. plans for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:
Postretirement
Pension Plans Medical Plans
2012 2011 2010 2012 2011 2010

Expected long-term rate of return on assets 6.50% 6.50% 7.00% 6.50% 6.50% 7.00%
Rate of increase in compensation levels 3.00% 3.50% 3.50% N/A N/A N/A
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at the plan
measurement dates for foreign plans:
Pension Plans Postretirement

2012 2011 2012 2011
Weighted-average discount rate 4.84% 5.20% 4.00% 4.00%

The following table summarizes the weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit costs
for foreign plans for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:
Postretirement
Pension Plans Medical Plans
2012 2011 2010 2012 2011 2010
Weighted-average discount rate 6.12% 7.14% 7.04% 4.00% 4.75% 5.50%
Expected long-term rate of return on assets 7.65% 7.91% 7.95% N/A N/A N/A
Rate of increase in compensation levels 4.03% 4.16% 4.10% N/A N/A N/A
The following table summarizes the health care cost trend rate assumptions used to determine the postretirement medical plan
obligation for U.S. plans:
Health care cost trend rate assumed for 2013 (Initial Rate) 8.00%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (Ultimate Rate) 5.00%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2020
The effect of a 1% increase or decrease in health care trend rates on the U.S. and foreign postretirement medical plans would
not significantly change the net periodic benefit costs or the benefit obligation at the end of the year.
