Vendor payables are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time of merchandise title transfer, although the letters of credit are generally issued prior to this. Over the past three years, we have migrated most of our merchandise vendors to open account payment terms. As of May 2, 2009, our letter of credit agreements consist of two separate $100 million, three-year, unsecured committed letter of credit agreements, with two separate banks, for a total aggregate availability of $200 million with an expiration date of May 2011. In addition, we have an $8 million revolving credit facility available, with an expiration date of December 2009, for Athleta which is exclusively being used for the issuance of trade letters of credit to support its merchandise purchases.

We also have a $500 million, five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to expire in August 2012 (the Facility). The Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including commercial paper backstop, working capital, trade letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. As of May 2, 2009, there were no borrowings under the Facility.
