Interest Rate Swaps—Hedging of Interest Rate Sensitive Obligations
As of December 31, 2012, we had outstanding interest rate swap agreements to manage the exposure to variability
in future cash flows on the interest payments associated with our senior credit facility which accrues at variable rates
based on LIBOR. We have also entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to changes in
the fair value of certain debt obligations due to interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate swaps allow us to receive
or pay interest based on three or six month LIBOR in exchange for payments or receipts of interest at fixed rates.
