Interest on these Senior Notes is due <font class="_mt">semi-annually on April 1 and October 1</font> of each year, beginning October 1, 2011. The net proceeds of the March 2011 issuance were used to repurchase $<font class="_mt">1.0</font> billion of the Company's common stock through an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") agreement and the balance of the net proceeds were used to repay the Company's <font class="_mt">5.20</font>% Senior Notes that matured March 1, 2011 in the aggregate principal amount of $<font class="_mt">1.0</font> billion. The $<font class="_mt">6</font> million discount associated with the March 2011 issuance is being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method. Issuance costs were approximately $<font class="_mt">15</font> million and are being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">The Senior Notes may be redeemed by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, at the redemption price plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The redemption price is equal to the greater of (1) <font class="_mt">100</font>% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest to maturity. Additionally, if a Change in Control Triggering Event occurs, as defined by the terms of the March 2011 issuance, holders of the March 2011 issuance have the right to require the Company to redeem those notes at <font class="_mt">101</font>% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The Company is generally not limited under the indenture governing the Senior Notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness or required to maintain financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity. Further, while the indenture governing the Senior Notes contains various restrictive covenants, none is expected to impact the Company's liquidity or capital resources. </font></p>

Upon the March 2011 issuance, the Company settled this forward starting interest rate swap agreement for an immaterial amount. </font></p>980000000011200000000semi-annually on April 1 and October 10.05950.0520.0442041-04-012011-03-012021-04-016000000400000020000001500000011770000001178000000272000000230000000817000000406000000793000000396000000866000000849000000470000008500000040000000560000001.150.721.370.871.140.721.360.86<p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>6.
