In July 2011, we issued three series of Samurai notes totaling 50.0 billion yen through a public debt offering. The first series, which totaled 28.7 billion yen (approximately $356 million using the June 30, 2011, exchange rate), bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.47% per annum, payable semi-annually, and has a three-year maturity. The second series, which totaled 15.8 billion yen (approximately $196 million using the June 30, 2011, exchange rate), bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.84% per annum, payable semi-annually, and has a five-year maturity. The third series, which totaled 5.5 billion yen (approximately $68 million using the June 30, 2011, exchange rate), bears interest at a variable rate of three-month yen LIBOR plus a spread, payable quarterly, and has a three-year maturity. We have entered into an interest rate swap related to the 5.5 billion yen variable interest rate notes to swap the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate of 1.475% (see Note 4). These Samurai notes are not available to U.S. persons.

We have no restrictive financial covenants related to our notes payable. We were in compliance with all of the covenants of our notes payable at June 30, 2011. No events of default or defaults occurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.
