[1] The amount of the loss is calculated as the difference between the net carrying amount of the related security and the repurchase price. The net carrying amounts of the securities are less than the principal amounts due to capitalized debt issuance costs and any original issue discount. Aggregate costs of less than $1 and $16 were written off in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in connection with the repurchases/redemptions. The $16 of aggregate costs written off in the year ended December 31, 2010 was comprised of $12 of write-offs of debt issuance costs and a $4 write-off of a previously terminated derivative transaction. The losses are reflected in interest expense, net in our consolidated statements of income.
