Revolving Credit Facility: In April 2011, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $250 million on the revolving credit facility that was due August 2012. In August 2011, the Company replaced the revolving credit facility due August 2012 with a new revolving credit facility due August 2016. In June 2013, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to extend the termination date from August 2016 to June 2018.

The maximum committed amount available under the revolving credit facility due June 2018 is $1 billion. The facility also provides the Company with an option to increase the available credit by an amount up to $500 million. This option is subject to certain conditions and the agreement of the facility lenders.

Advances under the revolving credit facility due June 2018 bear interest at a rate dependent on the Company’s credit ratings at the time of those borrowings and are calculated according to a Base Rate or a Eurocurrency Rate, as the case may be, plus an applicable margin. The Company must also pay facility commitment fees quarterly on the full revolving credit commitment at rates dependent on the Company’s credit ratings.

At March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and, based on the Company’s credit ratings, the rates applicable to the facility at March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	At March 31,
	2014		2013
Applicable margin on Base Rate borrowing	0.125	%	0.250	%
Weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings	—	%	—	%
Applicable margin on Eurocurrency Rate borrowing	1.000	%	1.100	%
Facility commitment fee	0.125	%	0.150	%

The interest rate that would have applied at March 31, 2014 to a borrowing under the amended revolving credit facility due June 2018 would have been 3.38% for Base Rate borrowings and 1.15% for Eurocurrency Rate borrowings. The Company capitalized the transaction fees of approximately $1 million associated with the June 2013 amendment of the revolving credit facility. These fees are being amortized to “Interest expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

There was no borrowing activity under the revolving credit facility for fiscal years 2014 and 2013. Total interest expense relating to borrowings under the revolving credit facility for fiscal year 2012 was less than $1 million. The revolving credit facility contains customary covenants for borrowings of this type, including two financial covenants: (i) for the 12 months ending each quarter-end, the ratio of consolidated debt for borrowed money to consolidated cash flow, each as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement, must not exceed 4.00 to 1.00; and (ii) for the 12 months ending at any date, the ratio of consolidated cash flow to the sum of interest payable on, and amortization of debt discount in respect of, all consolidated debt for borrowed money, as defined in the credit agreement, must not be less than 3.50 to 1.00. At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

In addition, future borrowings under the revolving credit facility require, at the date of a borrowing, that (i) no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Company reaffirm the representations and warranties it made in the credit agreement.

Senior Notes: The Company’s Senior Notes (Notes) are senior unsecured obligations that rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes are senior in right of payment to all of the Company's existing and future senior subordinated or subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are subordinated to any future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such future indebtedness and structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company has the option to redeem the Notes at any time, at redemption prices equal to the greater of (i) the principal amount of the securities to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due on the securities to be redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at the treasury rate plus the basis points specified for each series of Notes. The Notes contain customary covenants and events of default. The maturity of the Notes may be accelerated by the holders upon certain events of default, including failure to make payments when due and failure to comply with covenants or agreements of the Company set forth in the Notes or the Indenture after notice and failure to cure.

2.875% Senior Notes due August 2018: In August 2013, the Company issued $250 million of 2.875% Senior Notes due August 2018 (2.875% Notes), for proceeds of approximately $249 million, reflecting a discount of approximately $1 million. The 2.875% Notes are redeemable by the Company at any time, subject to a “make-whole” premium of 25 basis points. Interest on the 2.875% Notes is payable semiannually in August and February. In the event of a change of control, each note holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the holder’s 2.875% Notes in cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such 2.875% Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. This is subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant interest payment date to receive interest due. The Company capitalized finance costs of approximately $2 million associated with the 2.875% Notes and will amortize these costs to “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

4.500% Senior Notes due August 2023: In August 2013, the Company issued $250 million of 4.500% Senior Notes due August 2023 (4.500% Notes), for proceeds of approximately $249 million, reflecting a discount of approximately $1 million. The 4.500% Notes are redeemable by the Company at any time, subject to a “make-whole” premium of 30 basis points. Interest on the 4.500% Notes is payable semiannually in August and February. In the event of a change of control, each note holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the holder’s 4.500% Notes in cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such 4.500% Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. This is subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant interest payment date to receive interest due. The Company capitalized finance costs of approximately $2 million associated with the 4.500% Notes and will amortize these costs to “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

5.375% Senior Notes due December 2019: The Company has issued $750 million principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due December 2019 (5.375% Notes). The 5.375% Notes are redeemable by the Company at any time, subject to a premium of 30 basis points. Interest on the 5.375% Notes is payable semiannually in June and December. In the event of a change of control, each note holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the holder’s 5.375% Notes in cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such 5.375% Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. This is subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant interest payment date to receive interest due.

6.125% Senior Notes due December 2014: The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to convert $500 million of its 6.125% Senior Notes due December 2014 (6.125% Notes) into floating interest rate payments through December 1, 2014. The 6.125% Notes are subordinated to any future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such future indebtedness and structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries. The 6.125% Notes are redeemable by the Company at any time, subject to a premium of 20 basis points. Under the terms of the swaps, the Company will pay quarterly interest at an average rate of 2.88% plus the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and will receive payment at 5.625%. The LIBOR based rate is set quarterly three months prior to the date of the interest payment. The Company designated these swaps as fair value hedges and accounts for them in accordance with the shortcut method of FASB ASC Topic 815. The carrying value of the 6.125% Notes has been adjusted by an amount that is equal and offsetting to the fair value of the swaps.

Other Indebtedness: The Company has an unsecured and uncommitted multi-currency line of credit available to meet short-term working capital needs for the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States and uses guarantees and letters of credit issued by financial institutions to guarantee performance on certain contracts. At March 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately $49 million and $53 million, respectively, of this line of credit were pledged in support of bank guarantees and other local credit lines. At March 31, 2014, less than $1 million of these arrangements were drawn down by third parties. At March 31, 2013, none of these arrangements were drawn down by third parties.

The Company uses a notional pooling arrangement with an international bank to help manage global liquidity. Under this pooling arrangement, the Company and its participating subsidiaries may maintain either cash deposit or borrowing positions through local currency accounts with the bank, so long as the aggregate position of the global pool is a notionally calculated net cash deposit. Because it maintains a security interest in the cash deposits and has the right to offset the cash deposits against the borrowings, the bank provides the Company and its participating subsidiaries favorable interest terms on both. At March 31, 2014 and 2013, the borrowings outstanding under this cash pooling arrangement, and changes therein, were as follows:



	At March 31,
(in millions)	2014			2013
Total borrowings outstanding at beginning of year ⁽¹⁾	$	136		$	139
Borrowings	3,702			1,143
Repayments	(3,734		)	(1,139		)
Foreign currency exchange effect	35			(7		)
Total borrowings outstanding at end of year ⁽¹⁾	$	139		$	136
