Commitments

     As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the gross carrying amount and associated accumulated depreciation of the Company's property and equipment financed under capital leases, and the related obligations was not material. The Company also leases certain of its facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. These operating leases expire in various years through 2028 and require the following minimum lease payments:

	Operating
Fiscal Year Ending March 31,	Lease
	(In thousands)
2013	142,912
2014	112,680
2015	73,316
2016	56,862
2017	49,006
Thereafter	119,631
Total minimum lease payments	554,407

     Total rent expense amounted to $160.5 million, $153.2 million, and $143.2 million in fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Litigation and other legal matters

     From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We defend ourselves vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in its consolidated balance sheet, would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
