15. Long-Term Debt and Obligations under Capital Leases

     In May 2004, the Company obtained a 5-year, $175 million amortizing term loan from the bank group participating in its existing revolving credit facility to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Footaction stores. The interest rate on the LIBOR-based, floating-rate loan was 5.4 percent on February 2, 2008 and 6.5 percent on February 3, 2007. The loan requires minimum principal payments each May, equal to a percentage of the original principal amount of 10 percent in 2006, 15 percent in years 2007 and 2008 and 50 percent in year 2009. Closing and upfront fees totaling approximately $1 million were paid for the term loan and these fees are being amortized using the interest rate method as determined by the principal repayment schedule. During 2007, 2006 and 2005 the Company repaid $2 million, $50 million, and $35 million, respectively, with the outstanding amount of $88 million due in 2009.

     The Company purchased and retired $38 million of the $200 million 8.50 percent debentures payable in 2022 at a $2 million discount from face value during 2006. During 2007, the Company purchased and retired an additional $5 million bringing the outstanding amount to $129 million as of February 2, 2008. The Company has various interest rate swap agreements, which convert $100 million of the 8.50 percent debentures from a fixed interest rate to a variable interest rate, which are collectively classified as a fair value hedge. The net fair value of the interest rate swaps at February 2, 2008 was an asset of $4 million, which was included in other assets, the carrying value of the 8.50 percent debentures was increased by the corresponding amount. The net fair value of the interest rate swaps at February 3, 2007 was a liability of $4 million, which was included in other liabilities, the carrying value of the 8.50 percent debentures was decreased by the corresponding amount.

     During 2007, the Company’s $14 million Industrial Revenue Bond, which was accounted for as a capital lease matured. Accordingly, the Company repaid this amount.
