credit rating fall below investment grade, the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors
would be reduced, and, in certain cases, the investors would have the right to discontinue the facility.
The Railroad collected approximately $20.1 billion and $18.8 billion of receivables during the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. UPRI used certain of these proceeds to purchase new
receivables under the facility.
The costs of the receivables securitization facility include interest, which will vary based on prevailing
commercial paper rates, program fees paid to banks, commercial paper issuing costs, and fees for
unused commitment availability. The costs of the receivables securitization facility are included in interest
expense and were $3 million, $4 million and $6 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The investors have no recourse to the Railroad’s other assets, except for customary warranty and
indemnity claims. Creditors of the Railroad do not have recourse to the assets of UPRI.
In July 2012, the receivables securitization facility was renewed for an additional 364-day period at
comparable terms and conditions.
Subsequent Event – On January 2, 2013, we transferred an additional $300 million in undivided interest
to investors under the receivables securitization facility, increasing the value of the outstanding undivided
interest held by investors from $100 million to $400 million.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As described in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and as referenced in the tables
below, we have contractual obligations and commercial commitments that may affect our financial
condition. Based on our assessment of the underlying provisions and circumstances of our contractual
obligations and commercial commitments, including material sources of off-balance sheet and structured
finance arrangements, other than the risks that we and other similarly situated companies face with
respect to the condition of the capital markets (as described in Item 1A of Part II of this report), there is
no known trend, demand, commitment, event, or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to occur that would
have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. In
addition, our commercial obligations, financings, and commitments are customary transactions that are
similar to those of other comparable corporations, particularly within the transportation industry.
The following tables identify material obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2012:
