ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following table provides information about the Company’s market sensitive financial instruments
and constitutes a “forward-looking statement.” The Company’s primary market risk exposure is
volatility of interest rates, primarily in the United States. Historically, the Company manages interest
rates through use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swap and cap
agreements (see Item 8 - Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). All items
described are non-trading and are stated in U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange risk is immaterial to the
consolidated results and financial condition of the Company. The fair value and average receive rate
of the interest rate swaps is calculated using projected market interest rates over the term of the
related debt instruments as provided by the counterparties.

(1) Floating rate vehicle debt and obligations include $500 million relating to the Series 2006-1 notes and the $500 million Series 2007-1 notes
swapped from floating interest rates to fixed interest rates, and the $200 million Series 2010-1 VFN.
Interest rate sensitivity – Based on the Company’s level of floating rate debt (excluding notes with
floating interest rates swapped into fixed interest rates) at December 31, 2011, a 50 basis point
fluctuation in short-term interest rates would have an approximate $2 million impact on the
Company’s expected pretax income.
