Issuance of Notes
In March 2011, the Company issued $1 billion of 6.625% notes due in April 2021 utilizing an existing shelf registration under which debt securities, common and preferred stock and other securities can be issued. The 2021 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the "Guarantors"). The proceeds from the issuance were $981 million, which were net of issuance costs of $19 million.

In February 2012, the Company issued $1 billion of 5.625% notes due in February 2022 utilizing an existing shelf registration under which debt securities, common and preferred stock and other securities can be issued. The 2022 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by the Guarantors.

Revolving Facility
On July 15, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement (“Amendment”) of its secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”). The Amendment increased the aggregate amount of the commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Facility to $1 billion and extended the termination date to July 15, 2016. In addition, the Amendment reduced fees payable under the Revolving Facility which are based on the Company’s long-term credit ratings. The fees related to committed and unutilized amounts per year are 0.325% per annum and the fees related to outstanding letters of credit are 1.75% per annum. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings is London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75%.
The Company incurred fees related to the Amendment of the Revolving Facility of $7 million, which were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility contains fixed charge coverage and debt to EBITDA financial covenants. The Company is required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.75 to 1.00 and a consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio not exceeding 4.00 to 1.00 for the most recent four-quarter period. In addition, the Revolving Facility provides that investments and restricted payments may be made, without limitation on amount, if (a) at the time of and after giving effect to such investment or restricted payment the ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four-quarter period is less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (b) no default or event of default exists. As of February 1, 2014, the Company was in compliance with both of its financial covenants and the ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA was less than 3.00 to 1.00.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company borrowed and repaid $290 million under the Revolving Facility. The maximum
daily amount outstanding at any point in time during the third quarter of 2013 was $140 million.
As of February 1, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
Letters of Credit
The Revolving Facility supports the Company’s letter of credit program. The Company had $8 million of outstanding letters of credit as of February 1, 2014 that reduce its remaining availability under the Revolving Facility.
