The Securitization Program matures on March 3, 2014 and effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $100,000. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The Securitization Program can be extended by agreement of the parties thereto for successive 364-day terms. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets.

In addition to the Securitization Program, we maintain short-term credit facilities with banks throughout the world that are principally demand lines subject to revision by the banks.

On January 15, 2013, we repurchased at par our 6¼% senior subordinated notes due on January 15, 2015, pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 using proceeds drawn from our U.S. credit facility.

On March 28, 2013, we amended our U.S. credit facility. The amendments primarily reflect a modification of the matrix used to determine the applicable interest margin, the commitment fee rate and extended the maturity of the credit facility to March 28, 2018. It consists of a $900,000 revolver and had an outstanding balance of $515,000 at March 30, 2013. Interest on the outstanding credit facility borrowings is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 138 basis points at March 30, 2013. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.
