Term Loan Agreement

     The Company entered into a $1.8 billion term loan facility, dated as of October 1, 2007, and subsequently amended as of December 28, 2007 (the "Term Loan Agreement").

     During fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company borrowed $1.7 billion under the Term Loan Agreement. Of this amount, $500.0 million was scheduled to mature in October 2012 and the remainder is scheduled to mature in October 2014. The loan amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1% per annum with the balance due at the end of the fifth or seventh year, as applicable. The Company may prepay the loans at any time at 100% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest and reimbursement of the lender's redeployment costs. On October 19, 2011, the Company repaid $480 million which was the outstanding portion of the $500.0 million due to mature in October 2012. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, either at (i) the base rate (the greater of the agent's prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus a margin of 1.25%; or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%.

     The Term Loan Agreement is unsecured, and contains customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) make certain acquisitions of other entities, (iv) incur liens, (v) dispose of assets, (vi) make non-cash distributions to shareholders, and (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and limitations. The Term Loan Agreement also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, during the term of the Term Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Term Loan Agreement.

New Term Loan Agreement and Revolving Line of Credit

     On October 19, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year $2.0 billion credit facility ("New Credit Facility") consisting of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility ("New Revolving Credit Facility") and a $500 million term loan ("New Term Loan"), which expires in October 2016. The New Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company's previous $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, which was due to mature in May 2012. The New Term Loan refinanced the outstanding amount of $500.0 million tranche of the Company's $1.7 billion Term Loan. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, either at (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging between 1.25% and 2.25%, based on the Company's credit ratings or (ii) the base rate (the greatest of the agent's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.25% and 1.25%, based on the Company's credit rating. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging between 0.20% and 0.45% per annum on the daily unused amount of the New Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company's credit rating.

     The New Credit Facility is unsecured, and contains customary restrictions on the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) make certain acquisitions of other entities, (iv) incur liens, (v) dispose of assets, (vi) make non-cash distributions to shareholders, and (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and limitations. The New Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and a minimum interest coverage ratio, as defined therein, during its term. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the New Credit Facility.

Asia Term Loans

     On September 27, 2010, the Company entered into a $50.0 million term loan agreement with a bank based in Asia, which matures on September 27, 2013. Borrowings under the term loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.30%. The Company, at its election, may convert the loan (in whole or in part) to bear interest at the higher of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the prime rate plus, in each case 1.00%. Principal payments of $500,000 are due quarterly with the balance due on the maturity date. The Company has the right to prepay any part of the loan without penalty. Borrowings under the term loan agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company.

     On September 28, 2010, the Company entered into a $130.0 million term loan facility with a bank in Asia, which matures on September 28, 2013. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.15%, and the Company paid a non-refundable fee of $1.4 million at the inception of the loan. The Company has the right to prepay any part of the loan without penalty.

     On February 17, 2011, the Company entered into a $200.0 million term loan facility with a bank in Asia, which matures on February 17, 2014. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.28%, and the Company paid a non-refundable fee of $1.0 million at the inception of the loan. The Company has the right to prepay any part of the loan without penalty.

     The Asia Term Loans are unsecured, and contain customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) make certain acquisitions of other entities, (iv) incur liens, (v) dispose of assets, (vi) make non-cash distributions to shareholders, and (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and limitations. The Asia Term Loans also require the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA during the terms of the agreements. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under these facilities.

Other Credit Lines

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries also have various uncommitted revolving credit facilities, lines of credit and other loans in the amount of $290.6 million in the aggregate. While there were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of March 31, 2012 approximately $1.6 million of borrowings were outstanding as of March 31, 2011 under these facilities. These facilities, lines of credit and other loans bear annual interest at the respective country's inter-bank offering rate, plus an applicable margin, and generally have maturities that expired on various dates throughout fiscal year 2012. The credit facilities are unsecured and the lines of credit and other loans are primarily secured by accounts receivable.

Redemption of 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes

     During August 2010, the Company paid $240.0 million to redeem its 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes at par upon maturity plus accrued interest. These notes carried conversion provisions to issue shares to settle any conversion spread (excess of conversion value over the conversion price) in stock. On the maturity date, the Company's stock price was less than the conversion price, and therefore no ordinary shares were issued.

Tender and Redemption of 6.5% Senior Subordinated Notes

     During June 2009, the Company paid approximately $101.8 million to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $99.8 million of these Notes in a cash tender offer. The cash paid included $2.3 million in consent fees paid to holders of the Notes that were tendered but not purchased as well as to holders that consented but did not tender, which were capitalized and were being recognized as a component of interest expense over the remaining life of the Notes until the redemption noted below. The Company recognized a $2.3 million loss during fiscal year 2010 associated with the partial extinguishment of the Notes, which included approximately $2.6 million for transaction costs and the write-down of related debt issuance costs. In conjunction with the tender offer, the Company obtained consents to certain amendments to the restricted payments covenants and certain related definitions in the indenture under which the Notes were issued. The amendments permitted the Company greater flexibility to purchase or make other payments in respect of its equity securities and debt that was subordinated to the Notes and to make certain other restricted payments under the indenture.

     On March 19, 2010, the Company paid approximately $306.3 million to redeem the remaining aggregate principal balance of $299.8 million of these notes at a redemption price of 102.167% of the principal amount. The Company recognized a loss associated with the early redemption of the notes of approximately $10.5 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, consisting of the redemption price premium of approximately $6.5 million, and approximately $4.0 million for transaction costs and the write-off of unamortized debt costs. The loss is recorded in other charges (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Tender and Redemption of 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes

     During June 2009, the Company paid approximately $101.3 million to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $99.9 million of these Notes in a cash tender offer. The cash paid included $6.5 million in consent fees paid to holders of the Notes that were tendered but not purchased as well as to holders that consented but did not tender, which were capitalized and are being recognized as a component of interest expense over the remaining life of the Notes. The Company recognized a $2.3 million gain during fiscal year 2010 associated with the partial extinguishment of the Notes, net of approximately $2.7 million for transaction costs and the write-down of related debt issuance costs.

     During December 2010, the Company paid approximately $308.5 million to redeem the remaining aggregate principal balance of $302.2 million of these notes at a redemption price of 102.083% of the principal amount.
