U.S. Revolving Credit Facility
 
On August 31, 2012, Best Buy Co., Inc. entered into a $1,000 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the "364-Day Facility Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan"), as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks. The 364-Day Facility Agreement terminates in August 2013 (subject to a one-year term-out option). The 364-Day Facility Agreement replaced the previously existing $1,000 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, including JPMorgan acting as administrative agent, which was originally scheduled to expire in October 2012.
 
The interest rate under the 364-Day Facility Agreement is variable and is determined at our option as: (i) the sum of (a) the greatest of JPMorgan's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1%, and (b) a margin (the “ABR Margin”); or (ii) the LIBOR plus a margin (the “LIBOR Margin”). In addition, a facility fee is assessed on the commitment amount. The ABR Margin, LIBOR Margin and the facility fee are based upon our current senior unsecured debt rating. Under the 364-Day Facility Agreement, the ABR Margin ranges from 0.0% to 0.525%, the LIBOR Margin ranges from 0.925% to 1.525%, and the facility fee ranges from 0.075% to 0.225%.
 
The 364-Day Facility Agreement is guaranteed by specified subsidiaries of Best Buy Co., Inc. and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other things, these covenants restrict Best Buy Co., Inc. or its subsidiaries' ability to incur certain types or amounts of indebtedness, incur liens on certain assets, make material changes in corporate structure or the nature of its business, dispose of material assets, engage in a change in control transaction, make certain foreign investments, enter into certain restrictive agreements, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The 364-Day Facility Agreement also contains covenants that require us to maintain a maximum quarterly cash flow leverage ratio and a minimum quarterly interest coverage ratio. The 364-Day Facility Agreement contains customary default provisions including, but not limited to, failure to pay interest or principal when due and failure to comply with covenants. We were in compliance with all such covenants at November 3, 2012.

Our 2013 Notes due July 15, 2013, are classified in the current portion of long-term debt as of November 3, 2012. Since holders of our convertible debentures could have required us to purchase all or a portion of the debentures on January 15, 2012, we classified the $402 for such debentures in the current portion of long-term debt at October 29, 2011.
 
The fair value of long-term debt approximated $1,635, $1,756 and $2,164 at November 3, 2012, March 3, 2012 and October 29, 2011, respectively, based primarily on the market prices quoted from external sources, compared with carrying values of $1,702, $1,728 and $2,134, respectively. If long-term debt was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified primarily as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

See Note 8, Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012, for additional information regarding the terms of our debt facilities, debt instruments and other obligations.
