The Company has the right to increase the aggregate amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Facility by an additional $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;250,000&lt;/font&gt;, in $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;50,000&lt;/font&gt; increments, subject to lending group approval.

The applicable borrowing rate for the Company for any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at December 1, 2012 was &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;1.2&lt;/font&gt;%, which represents LIBOR plus &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;1.0&lt;/font&gt;%. &lt;/p&gt;

The Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to total interest expense during the term of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries. &lt;/p&gt;

The RSU Award covers&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;183&lt;/font&gt; shares and provides for vesting in&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;two&lt;/font&gt; installments, contingent on both performance and service conditions of the RSU Award. The performance condition was satisfied based on fiscal year 2011 performance. The value of each restricted stock unit is equal to the fair market value of one share of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date of the grant. All restricted stock units that vest, including dividend equivalent units on the vested portion of the grant, will be settled in shares of the Company. For the thirteen week period ended December 1, 2012, dividend equivalents covering&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;1&lt;/font&gt; share were granted with a weighted average grant date fair value of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;70.06&lt;/font&gt;. As of December 1, 2012, there were&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;193&lt;/font&gt; unvested restricted stock units outstanding, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;54.97&lt;/font&gt; per underlying share. &lt;/p&gt;

The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, with Level 1 being of the highest priority. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left; padding-bottom: 3pt; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0pt; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 0pt; font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-top: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Level 1&lt;/b&gt; &amp;#8212; Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left; padding-bottom: 3pt; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0pt; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 0pt; font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-top: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Level 3&lt;/b&gt; &amp;#8212; Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left; padding-bottom: 3pt; text-transform: none; text-indent: 20px; margin: 0pt; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 0pt; font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-top: 3pt;"&gt;As of December 1, 2012 and September 1, 2012, the Company measured cash equivalents consisting of money market funds at fair value on a recurring basis for which market prices are readily available (Level 1) and that invest primarily in United States government and government agency securities and municipal bond securities, which aggregated $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;164,837&lt;/font&gt; and $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;104,529&lt;/font&gt;, respectively. &lt;/p&gt;

Management believes the carrying amount of the aforementioned financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value as of December 1, 2012 and September 1, 2012 due to the short-term maturity of these items. In addition, based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms, the carrying values of the Company's capital lease obligations also approximate fair value. &lt;/p&gt;

An entity no longer will be required to perform the quantitative impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible assets, if after it assesses that the totality of events and circumstances, the entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.
