Objectives and strategies — We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to our variable rate debt. To reduce our exposure to rising interest rates, in
August 2010, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted $100.0 million of our variable rate term loan borrowings to a fixed-
rate basis from September 2011 through September 2014. Additionally, in April 2014, we entered into nine forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that
effectively convert $300.0 million of our variable rate borrowings to a fixed rate basis from October 2014 through October 2018. These agreements have been
designated as cash flow hedges under the terms of the FASB authoritative guidance for derivatives and hedging. To the extent that they are effective in
offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair values of the derivatives are not included in earnings but are included in OCI. These
changes in fair value are subsequently reclassified into net earnings as a component of interest expense as the hedged interest payments are made on our term
debt.

New credit facility — In March 2014, the Company refinanced its former credit facility and entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. The new
credit facility is comprised of (i) a $600.0 million revolving credit facility and (ii) a $200.0 million term loan facility. The interest rate on the new credit
facility is based on the Companys leverage ratio and can range from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.25% to 2.00% with no floor. The
initial interest rate was LIBOR plus 1.75%. The revolving credit facility and the term loan facility both have maturity dates of March 19, 2019. As part of the
credit agreement, we may also request the issuance of up to $75.0 million in letters of credit, the outstanding amount of which reduces our net borrowing
capacity under the agreement. As of September 28, 2014, our unused borrowing capacity was $271.8 million.
Use of proceeds The Company borrowed $200.0 million under the new term loan and approximately $220.0 million under the new revolving credit
facility. The proceeds from the refinancing transaction were used to repay all borrowings under the former facility and to pay related transaction fees and
expenses associated with the refinance of the facility, and will also be available for permitted share repurchases, permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions,
ongoing working capital requirements and other general
