During Fiscal 2012, Dell issued the 2014B Notes, the 2014C Notes, the 2016 Notes and the 2021 Notes (collectively, the “Issued Notes”) under a shelf registration statement that was originally filed in November 2008 and amended in March 2011. The net proceeds from the Issued Notes, after payment of expenses, were approximately $1.5 billion. The Issued Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with Dell's existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The Issued Notes effectively rank junior in right of payment to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of Dell's subsidiaries. The Issued Notes were issued pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture dated March 31, 2011, between Dell and a trustee, with terms and conditions substantially the same as those governing the Notes outstanding as of January 28, 2011 (such outstanding Notes, together with the Issued Notes, the "Notes").

The estimated fair value of total debt at February 3, 2012, was approximately $9.8 billion. The fair values of the structured financing debt and other short-term debt approximate their carrying values as their interest rates vary with the market. The carrying value of the Senior Debentures, the 2012 Notes and the 2013A Notes includes an unamortized amount related to the termination of interest rate swap agreements, which were previously designated as hedges of the debt. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about interest rate swaps. The weighted average interest rate for the short-term structured financing debt and other as of February 3, 2012, and January 28, 2011, was 0.28% and 0.29%, respectively.
Aggregate future maturities of long-term debt at face value were as follows as of February 3, 2012:

Structured Financing Debt As of February 3, 2012, Dell had $1.4 billion outstanding in structured financing related debt, of which $1.3 billion was through the fixed-term lease and loan, and revolving loan securitization programs. Of the $1.4 billion outstanding in structured financing related debt, $964 million was current as of February 3, 2012. See Note 4 and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the structured financing debt and the interest rate swap agreements that hedge a portion of that debt.
 
Commercial Paper As of February 3, 2012, there was $1.5 billion outstanding under the commercial paper program. At January 28, 2011, Dell had no outstanding commercial paper. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding commercial paper as of February 3, 2012, was 0.23%. Dell has $3.0 billion in senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, primarily to support its $2.5 billion commercial paper program. Dell replaced the five-year $1.0 billion credit facility expiring on June 1, 2011, with a four-year $2.0 billion credit facility that will expire on April 15, 2015. Dell's remaining credit facility for $1.0 billion will expire on April 2, 2013. There were no outstanding advances under the revolving credit facilities as of February 3, 2012.

The indentures governing the Notes, the Senior Debentures, and the structured financing debt contain customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The indentures also contain covenants limiting Dell's ability to create certain liens; enter into sale-and-lease back transactions; and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, another person. The senior unsecured revolving credit facilities require compliance with conditions that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with specified affirmative and negative covenants, including maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio.  Dell was in compliance with all financial covenants as of February 3, 2012.
