Debt And Capital Lease Obligations

9. DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

In June 2011, the Company entered into a new $200,000 unsecured credit facility ("Credit Facility"). The Company has the right to increase the aggregate amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Facility by an additional $250,000, in $50,000 increments, subject to lending group approval. This Credit Facility will mature on June 8, 2016.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option either at (i) the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging from 1.00% to 1.25%, based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio; or (ii) the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent's prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day, plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR rate that would be calculated as of such day in respect of a proposed LIBOR loan with a one-month interest period, plus 1.0%, plus, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (c), an applicable margin ranging from 0% to 0.25%, based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. The applicable borrowing rate for the Company for any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at September 1, 2012 was 1.24%, which represents LIBOR plus 1.0%.

The Company is required to pay a quarterly undrawn fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.20% per annum on the unutilized portion of the Credit Facility, a quarterly letter of credit usage fee ranging between 1.00% to 1.25% on the amount of the daily average outstanding letters of credit, and a quarterly fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each letter of credit.

The Credit Facility contains customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt, make investments, and engage in fundamental corporate changes, and sales of assets, among other restrictions. The Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to total interest expense during the term of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries. At September 1, 2012 and August 27, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the operating and financial covenants and did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility other than letters of credit which were immaterial as of the end of fiscal 2012.

Capital Lease and Financing Obligations

From time to time, the Company enters into capital leases and financing arrangements to purchase certain equipment. The equipment acquired from these vendors is paid over a specified period of time based on the terms agreed upon. During the fiscal year ended September 1, 2012, the Company entered into various capital leases and financing obligations for certain information technology equipment totaling $4,582.

The amount due under all capital leases and financing arrangements at September 1, 2012 was approximately $3,196, of which $1,007 represents current maturities. The net book value of the property and equipment acquired under these capital leases and financing agreements at September 1, 2012 was approximately $3,751. Amortization expense of property and equipment acquired under these capital leases and financing arrangements was approximately $560 for the fiscal year ended 2012. At September 1, 2012, approximate future minimum payments under capital leases and financing arrangements are as follows:
