ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Our market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. All our available credit and accounts receivable sales programs bear interest at rates tied to LIBOR. Under the terms of our credit agreement and customer-sponsored programs to sell accounts receivable, a change in either the lender’s base rate, LIBOR or discount rates under the accounts receivable sale programs would affect the rate at which we could borrow funds thereunder. A one-percentage-point increase in the discount rates under the accounts receivable sales programs would increase our interest expense on our variable rate debt, if any, and our financing costs associated with our sales of accounts receivable by approximately $6 million annually. This estimate assumes that our variable rate debt balance and the level of sales of accounts receivable remains constant for an annual period and the interest rate change occurs at the beginning of the period. The hypothetical changes and assumptions may be different from what occurs in the future. Historically we have not used, and currently do not intend to use, derivative financial instruments for trading or to speculate on changes in interest rates or commodity prices. We are not exposed to any significant market risks, foreign currency exchange risks, or interest rate risks from the use of derivative instruments.
