In February 2012, we refinanced the approximately $16,400 of revolving credit facility and term loan commitments that were not extended in connection with the August 2011 amendment and extended the maturity dates of these commitments to June 30, 2015. In connection with the refinancing, we paid $57 of fees and expenses to the new lenders.

In the first quarter of 2012, we repaid RMB 12,500 in aggregate principal amount of a China Loan and the outstanding letter of credit in support of this debt was reduced by $1,000. In the second quarter of 2012, we repaid the remaining RMB 166,000 in aggregate principal amount of this China Loan and the outstanding letter of credit of $28,200 in support of this debt was returned. In May 2012, we entered into a new RMB 60,000 lending facility with a Chinese bank under which we have borrowed RMB 21,312 as of June 30, 2012. The facility requires graduated semi-annual principal payments through November 2014. In June 2012, we entered into a one-year RMB 50,000 term loan with another Chinese bank. A letter of credit in the amount of $6,500 was issued to support this term loan.
