commodity prices. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum
credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit
risk. Our counterparties are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience
using such derivative instruments. We monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and expected
future cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonably possible
changes in interest and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments
to hedging activities.
The following table illustrates the potential change in fair value for interest rate sensitive
instruments based on a hypothetical immediate one-percentage-point increase in interest rates across
all maturities, the potential change in fair value for foreign exchange rate sensitive instruments based
on a 10 percent weakening of the U.S. dollar versus local currency exchange rates across all
maturities, and the potential change in fair value of contracts hedging commodity purchases based on
a 20 percent decrease in the price of the underlying commodity across all maturities at December 31,
2013 and 2012.

(2) A hypothetical immediate one percentage point decrease in interest rates across all maturities, a
potential change in fair value of foreign exchange rate sensitive instruments based on a 10 percent
strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus local currency exchange rates across all maturities, and a
potential change in fair value of contracts hedging commodity purchases based on a 20 percent
increase in the price of the underlying commodity across all maturities will result in a change in fair
value equal to the inverse of the amount disclosed in the table.
(3) Changes in the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts are offset by changes in the fair
value or cash flows of underlying hedged foreign currency transactions.
(4) Changes in the fair value of forward commodity contracts are offset by changes in the cash flows
of underlying hedged commodity transactions.
The above discussion of our procedures to monitor market risk and the estimated changes in fair
value resulting from our sensitivity analyses are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming
certain adverse market conditions occur. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these
estimated results due to actual developments in the global financial markets. The methods used by us
to assess and mitigate risk discussed above should not be considered projections of future events.
