Line of Credit - On April 23, 2012, the Company amended its revolving line of credit facility (i) to extend the maturity date of such facility by two years to April 30, 2014, (ii) to decrease the unused revolving line commitment fee from 0.1875% per annum to 0.10% per annum, and (iii) to reduce the minimum interest rate on borrowings from 5.75% to 3.00% per annum.
The instrument governing the line of credit facility includes certain financial covenants regarding tangible net worth. The revolving line of credit agreement includes a provision for the issuance of commercial or standby letters of credit by the bank on behalf of the Company. The value of all letters of credit outstanding reduces the total line of credit available. The revolving line of credit is collateralized by a blanket lien on all of the Company’s domestic assets excluding intellectual property and real estate. The minimum borrowing interest rate is 3.00% per annum. Borrowing is limited to the lesser of (a) $7.5 million plus the borrowing base, or (b) $20.0 million. The total borrowing available as of September 28, 2013, was $11.2 million. As of September 28, 2013, the Company was not in breach of any restrictive covenants in connection with this line of credit. There were no outstanding amounts drawn on this facility as of September 28, 2013. Although management has no current plans to request advances under this credit facility, the Company may use the proceeds of any future borrowing for general corporate purposes, future acquisitions or expansion of the Company's business.

Mortgage Loan - In July 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement with General Electric Commercial Finance ("GE") pursuant to which it borrowed $13.5 million, secured, in part, by a lien on and security interest in the building and land comprising the Company's principal offices in Milpitas, California. The loan initially bore interest at the rate of 7.18% per annum, which rate was scheduled to reset in August 2013 to 3.03% over the weekly average yield of five-year U.S Dollar Interest Rate Swaps as published by the Federal Reserve. Monthly principal and interest payments were based on a 20 year amortization for the first 60 months and 15 year amortization thereafter. The remaining principal balance of the loan and any accrued but unpaid interest was due on August 1, 2018. According to the terms of the loan agreement, the Company could make annual pre-payments of up to 20% of the outstanding principal balance without incurring any penalty. GE subsequently sold the mortgage on March 31, 2011, to Sterling Saving Bank; however, no changes were made to the terms of the original loan agreement with GE as a result of the sale. In July 2012, the Company prepaid $1.4 million of the loan, representing 20% of the outstanding balance at the time of prepayment. On July 18, 2013, the Company repaid $4.8 million of the loan, representing the entire outstanding principal balance of the loan and all accrued interest. As of September 28, 2013, there was no outstanding balance on the loan.
    
The Company's level 2 valuation estimate of the fair value of its debt is based on the interest rates for similar debt instruments issued by other entities with credit ratings comparable to the Company's. The estimated fair value of the debt as of December 29, 2012 was $5.7 million.
