Certain of the Company’s credit facilities and long-term debt agreements have restrictive covenants and cross-default provisions which generally provide, subject to the Company’s right to cure, for the acceleration of payments due in the event of a breach of a covenant or a default in the payment of a specified amount of indebtedness due under certain other debt agreements. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and provisions for all periods presented.

In June 2006, the Company entered into senior secured credit facilities provided by a group of lenders consisting of a five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a five-year term loan (“Term Loan A”) and a six-year term loan (“Term Loan B”). On April 5, 2010, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provided for an extension of the maturity of portions of the senior secured credit facilities provided under the original credit agreement. Specifically, $1,500 of the Revolving Credit Facility was extended until April 5, 2015 and $500 of Term Loan B (“Term Loan B-2”) was extended until October 5, 2015. The remainder of Term Loan B (“Term Loan B-1”) matures on June 2, 2012. On June 2, 2011, the $600 unextended Revolving Credit Facility expired and Term Loan A matured and was paid.

On April 29, 2011, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) which provided for Term Loan B-1 lenders to extend all or a portion of their advances into either Term Loan B-2 or a new seven-year term loan (“Term Loan B-3”) and also allowed new lenders to participate in Term Loan B-3. Through the amendment, $86 of Term Loan B-1 was extended into Term Loan B-2 and $161 of Term Loan B-1 was extended into Term Loan B-3. In addition, Term Loan B-3 received $291 of new advances which were used to reduce short-term borrowings and to retire Term Loan A at its maturity. Term Loan B-3 matures on April 29, 2018.

The fees and rates in effect on outstanding borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities are based on the Company’s current credit ratings. As of September 10, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Term Loan B-1 had a remaining principal balance of $249 at LIBOR plus 1.375 percent, of which $2 was classified as current. Term Loan B-2 had a remaining principal balance of $580 at LIBOR plus 3.25 percent, of which $6 was classified as current. Term Loan B-3 had a remaining principal balance of $450 at LIBOR plus 3.50 percent with a 1.00 percent LIBOR floor, of which $5 was classified as current. Letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility were $311 at fees up to 2.75 percent and the unused available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility was $1,189. The Company also had $2 of outstanding letters of credit issued under separate agreements with financial institutions. These letters of credit primarily support workers’ compensation, merchandise import programs and payment obligations. Facility fees under the Revolving Credit Facility are 0.625 percent. Borrowings under the term loans may be paid, in full or in part, at any time without penalty.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company must maintain a leverage ratio no greater than 4.25 to 1.0 through December 30, 2011, 4.0 to 1.0 from December 31, 2011 through December 30, 2012 and 3.75 to 1.0 thereafter. The Company’s leverage ratio was 3.46 to 1.0 at September 10, 2011. Additionally, the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 2.2 to 1.0 through December 30, 2011, 2.25 to 1.0 from December 31, 2011 through December 30, 2012 and 2.3 to 1.0 thereafter. The Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.59 to 1.0 at September 10, 2011.

In May 2010, the Company amended and extended its accounts receivable securitization program until May 2013. The Company can borrow up to $200 on a revolving basis, with borrowings secured by eligible accounts receivable, which remain under the Company’s control. As of September 10, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility. The facility fee currently in effect, based on the Company’s current credit ratings, is 1.00 percent. As of September 10, 2011, there was $285 of accounts receivable pledged as collateral, classified in Receivables in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of September 10, 2011, the Company had $247 of debt with current maturities that are classified in Long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the Company’s intent to refinance such obligations with the Revolving Credit Facility or other long-term debt.
