The above table does not reflect future excess cash flow prepayments, if any, that may be required under the Senior Secured
Term Loan Facility.
Interest Rate Swaps. NMG uses derivative financial instruments to help manage our interest rate risk. Effective December 6,
2005, NMG entered into floating to fixed interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate notional amount of $1,000.0 million to limit
our exposure to interest rate increases related to a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. The interest rate swap agreements
terminate after five years. At August 2, 2008, the fair value of NMG's interest rate swap agreements was a loss of approximately
$34.4 million, which amount is included in other long-term liabilities.
As of the effective date, NMG designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. As a result, changes in the fair value of
NMG's swaps are recorded as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income. At August 2, 2008, we have $21.8 million of
unrecognized losses, net of tax, on our interest rate swap agreements included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
As a result of the swap agreements, NMG's effective fixed interest rates as to the $1,000.0 million in floating rate
indebtedness will currently range from 6.524% to 6.733% per quarter through 2010 and result in an average fixed rate of 6.608%.
