[1] The net carrying amount of our long-term debt associated with certain securitizations that were either 1) issued at a premium or discount or 2) revalued at a premium or discount based on its fair value at the time of the Fortress Acquisition or 3) recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in circumstances when the embedded derivative within the securitization structure cannot be separately accounted for at fair value.
[2] Securitizations are not included in above maturities by period due to their variable monthly repayments. See Note 11 for further information on our long-term debt associated with securitizations.
[3] The interest rates shown are the range of contractual rates in effect at December 31, 2014.
