Item 1.02. Termination Of A Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 27, 2009, AutoZone, Inc. (“AutoZone”) prepaid the outstanding obligations under its Credit Agreement dated as of December 23, 2004 among AutoZone, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Wachovia Bank, National Association as Syndication Agent, as amended by that First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of May 5, 2006, and as further amended by that Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of August 3, 2007 (collectively, the “Term Loan Agreement”).

The Term Loan Agreement, in the principal amount of $300 million, was scheduled to expire in December 2009. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bore interest at fluctuating rates which, at AutoZone’s election, were tied to Bank of America’s prime lending rate or a Eurodollar rate. The Term Loan Agreement was subject to customary covenants and conditions, including affirmative, negative and financial covenants. No prepayment or early termination penalties were incurred.

Also on August 27, 2009, AutoZone terminated the interest rate swap agreement it entered on December 29, 2004, to effectively fix the interest rate of the borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement.

AutoZone has other commercial relationships with certain parties to the Term Loan Agreement. From time to time, several of the lenders or their affiliates furnish general financing and banking services to AutoZone.
