^(a) Includes the impact of interest rate swap terminations.

^(b)Includes hedge accounting adjustments.

As of November 2, 2012, the total carrying value and estimated fair value of outstanding senior notes and debentures, including the current portion, was $6.0 billion and $6.4 billion, respectively. This is compared to a carrying value and estimated fair value of $6.4 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively, as of February 3, 2012. The fair value of outstanding senior notes and debentures was determined based on observable market prices in a less active market and was categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the structured financing debt, commercial paper, and other short-term debt approximate their carrying values as their interest rates vary with the market. The carrying value of the Senior Debentures, the 2012 Notes, and the 2013A Notes includes an unamortized amount related to the termination of interest rate swap agreements, which were previously designated as hedges of the debt. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about interest rate swaps. The weighted average interest rate for the short-term structured financing debt and other as of November 2, 2012, and February 3, 2012, was 0.22% and 0.28%, respectively.

Structured Financing Debt — As of November 2, 2012, Dell had $1.4 billion outstanding in structured financing debt. Of the $975 million outstanding in long-term structured financing related debt, which is primarily related to the fixed-term lease and loan programs, $555 million was classified as current as of November 2, 2012. See Note 5 and Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the structured financing debt and the interest rate swap agreements that hedge a portion of that debt.

Commercial Paper — As of November 2, 2012, and February 3, 2012, there was $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, outstanding under the commercial paper program. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding commercial paper as of November 2, 2012, and February 3, 2012, was 0.34% and 0.23%, respectively. Dell has $3.0 billion in senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, primarily to support its $2.5 billion commercial paper program. Of these credit facilities, $1.0 billion will expire on April 2, 2013, and $2.0 billion will expire on April 15, 2015. There were no outstanding advances under the revolving credit facilities as of November 2, 2012.

The indentures governing the senior notes and debentures and the structured financing debt shown in the above table contain customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The indentures also contain covenants limiting Dell's ability to create certain liens; enter into sale-and-lease back transactions; and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, another person. The senior unsecured revolving credit facilities require compliance with conditions that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with specified affirmative and negative covenants, including maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio. Dell was in compliance with all financial covenants as of November 2, 2012.
