Secured Debt. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company borrowed $40.0 million using its corporate campus as collateral. In the first quarter of 2015, the loan agreement was amended to extend the maturity date from July 19, 2015 to December 19, 2017 which, upon approval of the counterparty, may be extended up to two times for a period of one year for each extension. Principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is due on the maturity date. The Company has the right to prepay loans in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

Secured Notes. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company issued $375 million of senior secured notes due 2019. The Secured Notes mature on June 1, 2019 and bear interest at an annual rate of 4.375%, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash. In connection with issuance of the Secured Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $5.1 million which are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Secured Notes using the effective interest method.

The Secured Notes are senior secured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Secured Notes and the guarantees are secured by a first-priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on certain tangible and intangible assets including certain real property, equipment and intellectual property, and by a second-priority lien on certain assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and stock of subsidiaries, securing the Company’s revolving credit facility.
 
All or any portion of the Secured Notes may be redeemed, at any time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Secured Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a make-whole premium. Following a change of control, as defined, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the Secured Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of the Secured Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
 
The Secured Notes are subject to specified events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, certain payment defaults at final maturity or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company or certain of its subsidiaries 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 Secured Notes, may declare all the Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the acceleration date. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company, such amounts with respect to the Secured Notes will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the Secured Notes.

2019 Notes. During 2011, the Company issued $500 million of senior notes due 2019. During 2014, the Company redeemed $400 million of the 2019 Notes at par plus a redemption premium and accrued interest and recorded a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $11.8 million, consisting of redemption premiums of $21.8 million, a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $6.0 million and third party costs of $0.5 million, partially offset by a $16.5 million credit related to the fair value hedge adjustment associated with the extinguished 2019 Notes.

The Company redeemed the remaining $100 million of its 2019 Notes at par plus a redemption premium and accrued interest during the first quarter of 2015. In connection with this redemption, the Company recorded a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million, consisting of redemption premiums of $5.3 million and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.4 million, partially offset by a $3.8 million credit for the fair value hedge adjustment related to the extinguished 2019 Notes.

Non-interest Bearing Notes Payable. The Company issued unsecured, interest-free, 5 year term notes with a face value of $17.1 million (payable in five annual installments) in connection with assets acquired during the third quarter of 2014. The discounted value of the notes issued was $14.8 million (see Note 13).

Short-term Debt

Revolving Credit Facility. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company replaced its $300 million asset-backed revolving credit facility (the "ABL") with a $375 million secured revolving credit facility (the "Cash Flow Revolver"). The Cash Flow Revolver may be increased by an additional $125 million upon obtaining additional commitments from lenders then party to the Cash Flow Revolver or new lenders. The Cash Flow Revolver expires on May 20, 2020, but may be terminated by the lenders as early as February 28, 2019 if certain conditions exist.

The Company incurred $1.8 million of debt issuance costs in connection with this transaction. In addition, $1.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL were carried forward and $0.8 million of such costs were expensed. Accordingly, $2.8 million of debt issuance costs will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Cash Flow Revolver.

As of October 3, 2015, $110.0 million of borrowings and $22.0 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the Cash Flow Revolver. No borrowings were outstanding under the ABL as of September 27, 2014.

Foreign Short-term Borrowing Facilities. As of October 3, 2015, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company had a total of $74.0 million of short-term borrowing facilities, under which no borrowings were outstanding. These facilities expire at various dates through the second quarter of 2017.

Debt Covenants

The Company's revolving credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants. Additionally, the Company's Secured Debt agreement requires the Company to comply with a financial covenant if certain conditions exist, none of which existed as of October 3, 2015.

The Company's debt agreements contain a number of restrictive covenants, restrictions on incurring additional debt, making investments and other restricted payments, selling assets, paying dividends and redeeming or repurchasing capital stock and debt, subject to certain exceptions.

The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of October 3, 2015.
