At October 1, 2011, the Company had $750.0 million of senior notes (the "Notes") outstanding. During the quarter ended October 1, 2011, the Company issued $500.0 million in senior notes (the "2011 Notes") in a private placement. The 2011 Notes were issued in five tranches with maturities from seven to twelve years and carry fixed interest rates. The Company also has $250.0 million in senior notes (the "2007 Notes") issued in two tranches with floating interest rates based on a margin over the London Inter-Bank offered rate ("LIBOR"). Details on the senior notes at October 1, 2011 were (in millions):

 

On June 16, 2008, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement ("Term Loan") with certain financial institutions, whereby the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $165.0 million. The Term Loan matures in June 2013, and borrowings generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to a margin over LIBOR. The margin varies with the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") as defined in the Term Loan. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR varies. At October 1, 2011, the interest rate of 1.0% was based on a margin over LIBOR.

On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into a new $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that replaced its existing credit facility, which was set to mature in April, 2012. The Facility permits the Company to borrow at interest rates based upon a margin above LIBOR, which margin varies with the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA as defined in the Facility. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR varies. At October 1, 2011, the interest rate of 1.9% was based on a margin over LIBOR. The Company pays a commitment fee on the unused amount of the Facility, which also varies with the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA. The Facility matures in June 2016.

The Notes, the Term Loan, and the Facility require the Company to meet specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. The Company was in compliance with all financial debt covenants as of October 1, 2011.

The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. (See also Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

At October 1, 2011, other notes payable of approximately $25.4 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%.
