(1) 
Since the closing price of our common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 trading day period ended on December 31, 2016, these notes are convertible by the holders through the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2017. The 2033 Notes were classified as current as of March 2, 2017 because the terms of these notes require us to pay cash for the principal amount of any converted notes and holders of these notes had the right to convert their notes as of that date.

Capital Lease Obligations

In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded capital lease obligations aggregating $82 million at a weighted-average effective interest rate of 2.9% and a weighted-average expected term of 7 years. In the first six months of 2017, we recorded capital lease obligations aggregating $133 million.

2021 MSAC Senior Secured Term Loan

In November 2016, we entered into a five-year variable-rate facility agreement to obtain up to $800 million of financing, collateralized by certain production equipment. On December 2, 2016, we drew $450 million under the 2021 MSAC Term Loan and may utilize the remaining facility in multiple draws until June 10, 2017. Interest is payable quarterly at a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.4%. Principal is payable in 16 equal quarterly installments beginning in March 2018. The 2021 MSAC Term Loan contains covenants which are customary for financings of this type, including negative covenants that limit or restrict our ability to create liens or dispose of the equipment securing the facility agreement. The 2021 MSAC Term Loan also contains a covenant that the ratio of the outstanding loan to the fair value of the equipment collateralizing the loan not exceed 0.8. If such ratio is exceeded, we are required to grant a security interest in additional equipment and/or prepay the 2021 MSAC Term Loan in an amount sufficient to reduce such ratio to 0.8 or less. The 2021 MSAC Term Loan also contains customary events of default which could result in the acceleration of all amounts to be immediately due and payable and cancellation of all commitments under the facility agreement. The 2021 MSAC Term Loan is guaranteed by Micron.

2021 MSTW Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the Inotera Acquisition, on December 6, 2016, we drew 80 billion New Taiwan dollars (equivalent to $2.5 billion) under a collateralized, five-year term loan that bears interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the three-month or six-month TAIBOR, at our option, plus a margin of 2.05%. Principal under the 2021 MSTW Term Loan is payable in six equal semi-annual installments, commencing in June 2019, through December 2021. The 2021 MSTW Term Loan is collateralized by certain assets, including a real estate mortgage on Inotera's main production facility and site, a chattel mortgage over certain equipment of Inotera, all of the stock of our MSTW subsidiary, and the 82% of stock of Inotera owned by MSTW. The 2021 MSTW Term Loan is guaranteed by Micron.

The 2021 MSTW Term Loan contains affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to create liens in or dispose of collateral securing obligations under the 2021 MSTW Term Loan, mergers involving MSTW and/or Inotera, loans or guarantees to third parties by Inotera and/or MSTW, and MSTW's and/or Inotera's distribution of cash dividends. The 2021 MSTW Term Loan also contains financial covenants, which are tested semi-annually, as follows:

MSTW must maintain a consolidated ratio of total debt to adjusted EBITDA not higher than 5.5x in 2017 and 2018, and not higher than 4.5x in 2019 through 2021;
MSTW must maintain adjusted consolidated tangible net worth of not less than 4.0 billion New Taiwan dollars in 2017 and 2018, not less than 6.5 billion New Taiwan dollars in 2019 and 2020, and not less than 12.0 billion New Taiwan dollars in 2021;
on a consolidated basis, Micron must maintain a ratio of total debt to adjusted EBITDA not higher than 3.5x in 2017, not higher than 3.0x in 2018 and 2019, and not higher than 2.5x in 2020 and 2021; and
on a consolidated basis, Micron must maintain adjusted tangible net worth not less than $9.0 billion in 2017, not less than $12.5 billion in 2018 and 2019, and not less than $16.5 billion in 2020 and 2021.

If MSTW fails to maintain a required financial covenant, the interest rate will be increased by 0.25% until such time as the required financial ratios are maintained. If MSTW's failure continues for two consecutive semi-annual periods, such will constitute an event of default that could result in all obligations owed under the 2021 MSTW Term Loan being accelerated to be immediately due and payable. Micron's failure to maintain a required financial covenant will only result in a 0.25% increase to the interest rate but will not constitute an event of default. The 2021 MSTW Term Loan also contains customary events of default.

Convertible Senior Notes

As of March 2, 2017, the trading price of our common stock was higher than the initial conversion prices of our 2032 Notes and our 2033 Notes. As a result, the conversion values for these notes exceeded the principal amounts by $1.21 billion as of March 2, 2017.

2022 Senior Secured Term Loan B Repricing Amendment

In October 2016, we amended our 2022 Term Loan B, substantially all of which was treated as a debt modification, to reduce the margins added to the base rate from 5.00% to 2.75% and to the adjusted LIBOR rate from 6.00% to 3.75%.

Tender Offers

On March 27, 2017, we commenced tender offers to purchase up to $1.00 billion aggregate purchase price, exclusive of accrued interest (such aggregate purchase price subject to increase by us), of our 2022 senior notes, 2023 senior notes, 2024 senior notes, 2025 senior notes, and 2026 senior notes.
