   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities&lt;/b&gt;

   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;We use derivative instruments to manage our foreign exchange and commodity cost exposures. All
   derivative instruments are recognized at fair value in other current assets or liabilities.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments&lt;/i&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;We use one-month foreign currency forward contracts (forward contracts) to offset the impact
   of exchange rate volatility on certain assets and liabilities, including intercompany receivables
   and payables denominated in non-functional currencies. These forward contracts have not been
   designated as hedges, and the gains or losses on these forward contracts, along with the offsetting
   losses or gains due to the fluctuation of exchange rates on the underlying foreign currency
   denominated assets and liabilities, are recognized in other income (expense). The
   notional amounts of the forward contracts were $202.2&amp;#160;million and $146.7&amp;#160;million at March&amp;#160;31,
   2011 and June&amp;#160;30, 2010, respectively, with corresponding fair values of a $0.5&amp;#160;million asset at
   March&amp;#160;31, 2011 and a $1.7&amp;#160;million liability at June&amp;#160;30, 2010.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cash Flow Hedges&lt;/i&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;We use derivatives in the form of call options to hedge the variability of gold and copper
   costs. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge approximately 60%
   of our planned gold and copper purchases. Gains and losses of the effective hedges are recorded as
   a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to cost of sales during the
   period the commodity is sold. The fair values of the call options were $9.4&amp;#160;million and $5.4
   million at March&amp;#160;31, 2011 and June&amp;#160;30, 2010, respectively.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;For the three and nine months ended March&amp;#160;31, 2011 and 2010, the impact to accumulated other
   comprehensive income and earnings from cash flow hedges follows (in thousands):
