We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of these financial instruments. For a financial instrument to qualify as a hedge, we must be exposed to interest rate or price risk, and the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be designated as a hedge. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We utilize certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk.
