NOTE 9: DEBT AND MONEY MARKET SECURITIES

The tables below summarize the carrying value and fair market value of our outstanding debt. The fair market value of our publicly traded debt is based on observable market prices. The fair market value of our non-publicly traded debt was estimated using either a discounted cash flow analysis based on our current borrowing costs for debt with similar maturities, or in the case of outstanding commercial paper, the carrying values approximate the fair market values as the maturities are less than three months.

We did not elect the option to report our debt at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our non-publicly traded debt consists of the following:

Our credit facilities have covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios. We were in compliance with these covenants as of July 29, 2011. Our debt covenants do not limit, nor are they reasonably likely to limit, our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing.

We invest in money market funds with high-credit-quality financial institutions and diversify our holdings among such financial institutions to reduce our exposure to credit losses. The fair values of our money market funds are $17,305 and $55,908 as of July 29, 2011 and July 30, 2010, respectively. The money market funds are included in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances with the carrying values approximating the fair market values as the maturities are less than three months. These assets have observable prices that are quoted on an active exchange, and are therefore classified as Level 1 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted from withdrawal. As of July 29, 2011 and July 30, 2010, we had restricted cash of $21,062 and $12,570, respectively. Such restricted cash primarily serves as collateral for our liability insurance programs.
