11. Subsequent Event

       As stated in Note 3 – Long-term debt, our outstanding long-term debt as of June 30, 2011, is attributable to the 2011 Senior Credit Facility, which contains variable interest rates. On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement which effectively converted one-half, or $150,000, of our variable-rate debt based on one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.983%, or a total fixed rate of 7.483%, on this $150,000 when including the applicable 5.50% margin. These swaps mature on July 13, 2014. As permitted by FASB Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging, we have designated this swap as a cash flow hedge, the effects of which will be reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011. The objective of this hedge is to manage the variability of cash flows in the interest payments related to the portion of the variable-rate debt designated as being hedged.
