The Company can finance up to a maximum of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$400,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in U.S. trade accounts receivable (“U.S. Receivables”). The maturity date of the U.S. Arrangement is October 18, 2015. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. Arrangement is a blend of the prevailing dealer commercial paper rates plus a program fee of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">0.425%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> per annum based on the used portion of the commitment, and a facility fee of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">0.425%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> per annum payable on the aggregate commitment of the lenders. As of both </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">May 31, 2013</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">November 30, 2012</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> there were </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">no</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> borrowings outstanding under the U.S. Arrangement. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Under the terms of the U.S. Arrangement, the Company sells, on a revolving basis, its U.S. Receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings by this subsidiary are secured by pledging all of such subsidiary's rights, title and interest in and to the U.S. Receivables as security for repayment of its borrowings. Any borrowings under the U.S. Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As is customary in trade accounts receivable securitization arrangements, a credit rating agency's downgrade of the third party issuer of commercial paper or of a back-up liquidity provider (which provides a source of funding if the commercial paper market cannot be accessed) could result in an increase in the Company's cost of borrowing or loss of the Company's financing capacity under these programs if the commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced. Loss of such financing capacity could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company also has other financing agreements in North America with various financial institutions (“Flooring Companies”) to allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the Flooring Companies. Under these agreements, the Flooring Companies pay the Company directly on behalf of the customer and typically charge certain fees which the Company records as flooring fees. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under flooring agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the Flooring Companies. Please see Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies for further information. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font
