(1) Represents fair value hedge accounting balance related to interest rate swaps. See Note 4 for discussion of interest rate swap entered into during the current period.


On May 10, 2011, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes"). The 2019 Notes will mature on May 15, 2019 and bear interest at an annual rate of 7%, payable semi-annually in arrears. In connection with issuance of the 2019 Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $11.0 million. These costs are included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2019 Notes using the effective interest method.


The 2019 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2019 Notes at any time prior to May 15, 2014, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a make-whole premium. The Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2019 Notes beginning on or after May 15, 2014, at redemption prices ranging from 100% - 105.25% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Following a change of control, as defined, each holder of the 2019 Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such holder's 2019 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.


The indenture for the 2019 Notes includes certain covenants that place limitations on, among other things: debt, restricted payments, liens, asset sales, the Company's ability to create or permit restrictions on distributions from the Company's restricted subsidiaries, transactions with affiliates and consolidating or merging with other companies. The restrictive covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture.


The indenture provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, certain payment defaults at final maturity or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company or certain of its subsidiaries and certain instances in which a guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, subject to certain exceptions, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2019 Notes may declare all the 2019 to be due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or certain of its subsidiaries, the 2019 Notes will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the 2019 Notes.


As discussed in Note 4, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of the 2019 Notes resulting from changes in interest rates. As of July 2, 2011, the fair value hedge accounting adjustment related to the 2019 Notes was $5.5 million and has been recorded as a reduction to long-term debt.


On May 10, 2011, in conjunction with a tender offer, the Company repurchased $279.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2013 Notes and $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2016 Notes. The aggregate purchase price for the notes was $488.7 million, consisting of $280.1 million for the 2013 Notes and $208.6 million for the 2016 Notes. The repurchases were funded in part by the issuance of the 2019 Notes discussed above. On June 10, 2011, the remaining outstanding 2013 Notes of $100.7 million in aggregate principal amount were repurchased at par.
   
In accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt, the Company determined that all debt redeemed in connection with these transactions has been extinguished. Therefore, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $16.1 million, consisting of redemption premiums of $9.4 million, third party costs of $1.3 million and a net write-off of unamortized debt costs of $5.4 million.


Short-term debt


During 2010, one of the Company's subsidiaries in China entered into a $50 million unsecured working capital loan facility that contains certain negative covenants that, upon default, permit the bank to deny any further advances or extension of credit or to terminate the loan agreement. Additionally, one of the Company's subsidiaries in India entered into a $35 million working capital loan facility that contains no covenants.
