Notes to the Financial Statements<br />
NOTE 18. DEBT AND COMMITMENTS (Continued)<br />
At December 31, 2010, we had outstanding $3 billion of 6.50% Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2032<br />
("Subordinated Convertible Debentures"), reported in Automotive long-term debt. The $3 billion of Subordinated<br />
Convertible Debentures were held by Trust II, an unconsolidated entity, and were the sole assets of Trust II (for additional<br />
discussion of Trust II, see Note 13).<br />
At December 31, 2010, Trust II had outstanding 6.50% Cumulative Convertible Trust Preferred Securities with an<br />
aggregate liquidation preference of $2.8 billion ("Trust Preferred Securities"). The Trust Preferred Securities were<br />
convertible into shares of <strong>Ford</strong> Common Stock, based on a conversion rate (subject to adjustment) of 2.8769 shares per<br />
$50 liquidation preference amount of Trust Preferred Securities (which is equal to a conversion price of $17.38 per share).<br />
We guaranteed the payment of all distribution and other payments of the Trust Preferred Securities to the extent not paid<br />
by Trust II, but only if and to the extent we had made a payment of interest or principal on the Subordinated Convertible<br />
Debentures.<br />
Secured Term Loan<br />
<strong>2011</strong> Secured Term Loan Actions. In the second and third quarters of <strong>2011</strong>, we made optional prepayments of<br />
$2.2 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, to the term loan lenders under our secured Credit Agreement dated<br />
December 15, 2006, as amended and restated on November 24, 2009 and as further amended (the "Credit Agreement").<br />
In addition, in the second quarter of <strong>2011</strong> we also made a required payment of $67 million to the term lenders as a result<br />
of the completion of the true-up of the purchase price adjustments related to the sale of Volvo. As a result, we have<br />
repaid in full all amounts related to the term loans under our Credit Agreement.<br />
2010 Secured Term Loan Actions. Pursuant to the requirement to use a portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of<br />
Volvo upon the closing thereof to partially prepay certain outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement, we paid<br />
$288 million to the term loan lenders on August 3, 2010 following completion of the sale of Volvo. On December 15, 2010,<br />
we voluntarily paid $810 million on term loans that were scheduled to mature on December 15, 2013.<br />
2009 Secured Term Loan Actions. In the first quarter of 2009, <strong>Ford</strong> Credit purchased from term loan lenders under<br />
the Credit Agreement $2.2 billion principal amount of the secured term loan for an aggregate cost of $1.1 billion (including<br />
transaction costs). <strong>Ford</strong> Credit distributed the repurchased secured term loan to its immediate parent, <strong>Ford</strong> Holdings,<br />
whereupon the debt was forgiven. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $1.1 billion in Automotive<br />
interest income and other non-operating income/(expense), net.<br />
<strong>Ford</strong> Leasing purchased from the lenders under the Credit Agreement $45 million principal amount of our secured<br />
term loan thereunder for an aggregate cost of $37 million. <strong>Ford</strong> Holdings elected to receive the $37 million from <strong>Ford</strong><br />
Leasing as a dividend, whereupon the debt was immediately forgiven. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a pretax<br />
gain of $8 million in Automotive interest income and other non-operating income/(expense), net.<br />
Revolving Loan<br />
<strong>2011</strong> Secured Revolver Actions. In the second quarter of <strong>2011</strong>, we made an optional prepayment of $838 million on<br />
revolving loans under our Credit Agreement that were scheduled to mature on December 15, <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
2010 Secured Revolver Actions. On April 6, 2010, September 9, 2010, and December 15, 2010, we paid $3 billion,<br />
$2 billion, and $1.7 billion, respectively, on revolving loans that were scheduled to mature on November 30, 2013.<br />
