Senior Notes Due 2019. During 2011, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes"). The 2019 Notes mature on May 15, 2019 and bear interest at an annual rate of 7%, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash. As of September 28, 2013, unamortized debt issuance costs of $8.3 million are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2019 Notes using the effective interest method.

The 2019 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2019 Notes at any time prior to May 15, 2014, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a make-whole premium. The Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2019 Notes beginning on or after May 15, 2014, at redemption prices ranging from 100% to 105.25% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Following a change of control, as defined, each holder of the 2019 Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such holder's 2019 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

As discussed in Note 5, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of the 2019 Notes resulting from changes in interest rates. As of September 28, 2013, the fair value hedge accounting adjustment related to the 2019 Notes was $22.5 million and has been recorded as an increase to long-term debt.

The indentures for the 2019 Notes provide for customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, certain payment defaults at final maturity or acceleration of certain other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization and certain instances in which a guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, subject to certain exceptions, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, such amounts with respect to the notes will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the notes. Additionally, following a change of control, as defined in the indentures, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or any portion remaining outstanding of such debt at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Senior Floating Rate Notes. In 2007, the Company issued $300.0 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes due June 15, 2014. The Company repurchased $42.6 million of these notes in 2009 and redeemed the remaining $257.4 million of the outstanding notes during 2013 at par plus accrued interest and incurred a loss of $1.4 million, consisting primarily of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

As discussed in Note 5, the Company has interest rate swap agreements with two independent counterparties to hedge its interest rate exposure on the 2014 Notes.

Secured Debt. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company borrowed $40.0 million using its corporate campus as collateral (the “Secured Debt due 2015”). The secured debt matures in 2015, bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread or the bank's prime rate plus a spread, includes two one-year renewal options subject to bank approval and requires compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio and customary covenants similar to those of the asset-backed lending facility discussed below.

Other than the Company's Secured Debt due 2015, the Company's debt agreements do not contain financial covenants currently applicable to the Company, but do include a number of restrictive covenants that limit the Company's ability to, among other things: incur additional debt, make investments and other restricted payments, pay dividends on capital stock, or redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated obligations; create specified liens; sell assets; create or permit restrictions on the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company; engage in transactions with affiliates; incur layered debt; and consolidate or merge with or into other companies or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The restricted covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

Maturities of long-term debt as of September 28, 2013 were as follows:

Short-term Debt

Asset-backed Lending Facility. In 2009, the Company entered into a Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, among the Company, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as agent for such lenders.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Company, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as agent for such lenders. The Loan Agreement amended and restated the Company's existing Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement. The Company incurred $2.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with this amendment. Such costs are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the facility on a straight-line basis.

The Loan Agreement provides for a $300 million secured asset-backed revolving credit facility with a $100 million letter of credit sublimit. The facility may be increased by an additional $200 million upon obtaining additional commitments from the lenders then party to the Loan Agreement or new lenders. The Loan Agreement expires on March 16, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). As of September 28, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding, $23.1 million in letters of credit were outstanding and the Company was eligible to borrow $266.4 million.

Loans may be advanced under the Loan Agreement based on a borrowing base derived from specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the loans outstanding plus the face amount of undrawn letters of credit under the Loan Agreement exceed the borrowing base then in effect, the Company must make a payment or post cash collateral (in the case of letters of credit) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

Loans under the Loan Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to LIBOR or a base rate equal to Bank of America, N.A.'s announced prime rate, in each case plus a spread. A commitment fee accrues on any unused portion of the commitments under the Loan Agreement at a rate per annum based on usage. Interest on loans is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of an interest period in the case of LIBOR loans. Principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is due on the Maturity Date.

The Company's obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by (1) all U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable and all supporting obligations, chattel paper, documents and instruments in respect thereof or relating thereto; (2) all U.S. and Canadian deposit accounts (except accounts used for collections for certain transactions); (3) all U.S. and Canadian inventory; (4) the equity interests of each of the borrowers (except the Company) and the guarantors and the other equity interests owned directly by the borrowers and the guarantors, subject to limited exceptions; (5) all U.S. and Canadian promissory notes issued by the Designated Canadian Guarantors; (6) all U.S. and Canadian cash in any form; (7) all U.S. and Canadian accessions to, substitutions for, and all replacements, products, and cash and non-cash proceeds of the foregoing; and (8) all U.S. and Canadian books and records pertaining to the foregoing.

The Loan Agreement contains a financial covenant that was not applicable to us as of September 28, 2013, and customary covenants, including covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, reporting requirements and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the Loan Agreement contains customary negative covenants limiting the ability of the Company under certain circumstances, among other things, to use the facility to incur debt, make investments, acquisitions and certain restricted payments, and to sell assets. Upon an event of default, the lenders may declare all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Loan Agreement immediately due and payable. Events of default under the Loan Agreement include payment defaults, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, breaches of covenants or representations and warranties, change in control of the Company and bankruptcy events.

Foreign Short-term Borrowing Facilities. As of September 28, 2013, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company had a total of $184.0 million of short-term borrowing facilities, under which no borrowings were outstanding. The loan agreements contain certain negative covenants that, upon default, permit the bank to deny any further advances or extension of credit or to terminate the loan agreement. These facilities expire at various dates through the second quarter of 2015.

As of September 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its long-term debt instruments, asset backed lending facility and short-term debt facilities.
