____________
(a) The difference between the stated interest rate and the effective interest rate is not significant.
(b) We utilize interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion
of our notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments in order to manage our overall
exposure to interest rates. The changes in fair value of these interest rate swaps result in an offsetting hedge accounting
adjustment recorded to the carrying value of the related note. These hedge accounting adjustments will be reclassified as
reductions to or increases in "Interest expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Income over the life of the related notes,
and cause the effective rate of interest to differ from the notes' stated rate.
(c) As of December 31, 2014, our weighted-average effective rate on total borrowings was approximately 4.4%.
