Diluted weighted-average shares include weighted-average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of share-based compensation calculated using the treasury stock method, of 14.1million shares and 14.8million shares for the first quarter 2010 and 2009, respectively. Stock options that were not included in diluted weighted-average shares because they would have been antidilutive were 10.1million shares for the first quarter 2009.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements
	3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2010
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, and certain non-financial assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. Certain of the Companys derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market parameters, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Derivative valuations incorporate credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by the counterparty or the Company. Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March31,2010 by the valuation hierarchy as defined in the fair value guidance: In millions Level1 Level2 Level3 Carrying Value Cash equivalents $ 292.9 $ 292.9 Investments 119.8 * 119.8 Derivative receivables 85.1 * $ 112.8 197.9 Total assets at fair value $ 497.8 $ 112.8 $ 610.6 Derivative payables $ (2.4 ) $ (2.4 ) Total liabilities at fair value $ (2.4 ) $ (2.4 ) * Includes long-term investments and derivatives that hedge market driven changes in liabilities associated with the Companys supplemental benefit plans. Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value At March31, 2010, the fair value of the Companys debt obligations was estimated at $11.3 billion, compared to a carrying amount of $10.5 billion. This fair value was estimated using various pricing models or discoun

Financial Instruments and Hedgi

Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
	3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2010
Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities	Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The FASB guidance on disclosures in the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC requires qualitative and quantitative information on how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company uses foreign currency denominated debt and derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of these changes. The Company does not use derivatives with a level of complexity or with a risk higher than the exposures to be hedged and does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes. The Company documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedging transactions. The Companys derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments consist mainly of interest rate exchange agreements, forward foreign currency exchange agreements and foreign currency options. Interest rate exchange agreements are entered into to manage the interest rate risk associated with the Companys fixed and floating-rate borrowings. Forward foreign currency exchange agreements and foreign currency options are entered into to mitigate the risk that forecasted foreign currency cash flows (such as royalties denominated in foreign currencies) will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Certain foreign currency denominated debt is used, in part, to protect the value of the Companys investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also enters into certain derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company has entered into derivative contracts to hedge market-driven changes in certain of its supplemental benefit plan liabilities. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in selling, general administrative expenses. In addition, the Company uses forward foreign currency exchange agreements and foreign currency exchange agreements to mitigate the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Since these derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments, the changes in the fair value of these hedges are recognized immediately in nonoperating (income) expense together with the translation gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position. A portion of the Companys foreign currency options (more fully described in the Cash Flow Hedging Strategy section) are undesignated as hedging instruments as the underlying foreign currency royalties are earned. All derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments are classified as fair value, cash flow or net investment hedges. All derivatives (including those not designated as hedging instruments) are recognized on the Consolidated balance sheet at fair value and classifie

Variable Interest Entities and

Variable Interest Entities and Consolidation
	3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2010
Variable Interest Entities and Consolidation	Variable Interest Entities and Consolidation In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance on variable interest entities and consolidation, codified primarily in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC. This guidance modifies the method for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity as well as the methods permitted for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. In addition, this guidance requires ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced disclosures related to a companys involvement with a variable interest entity. The Company adopted this guidance as of January1, 2010. The Company evaluates its business relationships such as those with franchisees, joint venture partners, developmental licensees, suppliers, and advertising cooperatives to identify potential variable interest entities. Generally, these businesses qualify for a scope exception under the consolidation guidance. The Company has concluded that consolidation of any such entities is not appropriate for the periods presented. As a result, the adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
