Accounts Receivable Sales Facility

In May 2011, we renewed our existing accounts receivable sales facility for a one year period under terms substantially similar to those previously in place. The committed balance of this facility is $1.35 billion, although from time-to-time the available amount of this facility may be less than $1.35 billion based on accounts receivable concentration limits and other eligibility requirements. The renewed accounts receivable sales facility will expire in May 2012.

At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, there were no securitized accounts receivable balances or secured borrowings outstanding under this facility. Additionally, there were no sales of interests to third-party purchaser groups in the quarters and six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

This facility contains requirements relating to the performance of the accounts receivable and covenants relating to the Company. If we do not comply with these covenants, our ability to use this facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under this facility may be required. At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility

In September 2011, we renewed our existing syndicated $1.3 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in June 2012. This new credit facility has terms and conditions substantially similar to those previously in place and matures in September 2016. Borrowings under this renewed credit facility bear interest based upon either the London Interbank Offered Rate or a prime rate. There were no borrowings under this facility during the first six months of 2012 and 2011. As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility.
